| Hello hello! As I'm sure we all remember from school, Janus, and so January, has two faces. One looking forward and one looking back. As a travel publisher, we've spent a lot of time doing both lately, in particular while putting together our list of the best places to visit in 2024. While many celebrate new events and discoveries, many more commemorate the past. And while this can be a delicious exercise in philosophy (depending how close the deadline is) let me also issue a timely prompt. If you plan to visit some of these places because of the upcoming events or anniversaries, it's wise to act fast and book now. When it comes to Paris for the Olympics or Normandy for the D-Day commemorations, you won't be the only one with the idea. So, check out the list, pull out your calendar and get planning. We can always talk about philosophy next week. Cheers, Abi Have you seen our guide to the best places to travel in 2024 yet? | Ad Switzerland As we all know, the desire and need for sustainable travel is growing. When it comes to thinking about travelling differently in 2024, it’s time to celebrate the idea of the great train journey. Switzerland’s Grand Train Tour weaves together the country’s premium panoramic lines into a spectacular round trip, covering 1,280km across 8 sections. You pass through the charming city of Lucerne, the thunder of the Rhine Falls, the iconic peaks of the Matterhorn, and the heights of the Jungfraujoch at the Top of Europe. Switzerland Travel Centre’s Grand Train Tour includes all the panoramic trains of Switzerland in one trip. Travellers will visit the most popular holiday resorts and experience all four regions of the country. Tours can also be combined with mountain excursions. The Falkland Islands Consisting of more than 700 islands in the South Atlantic, the Falkland Islands give you the chance to pause, take a breath and really connect with nature in a remote environment. As the population of the islands has always been small, the wildlife here is incredibly tame; it’s not uncommon for a penguin to nibble your bootlace if you sit still for long enough. The landscape, too, can stir the soul and it’s a great spot for photographers, bird lovers and anyone looking for a sense of scale with an approach of peace and patience.
Falkland Islands Holidays run wildlife and wilderness tours to the Falkland Islands. Their Falklands Flavour itinerary includes 7 nights in a cosy lodge, with full-board and bed and breakfast options. Antarctica Adventurous travellers should have Antarctica at the top of their 2024 bucket list. The untouched beauty of the southernmost continent is enough to make even the most jaded sit up and pay attention. Once there, one of the highlights of a trip to Antarctica is the chance to soar above the icy landscapes on a heli-flight excursion, taking in an unforgettable aerial perspective. Beyond this, you’ll navigate through a myriad of ice sculptures on a Zodiac cruise, marvel at inquisitive penguins, and keep a watchful eye for humpback whales breaching the water. You’ll also visit historical huts and research sites as you set foot ashore on the seventh continent. Wildfoot Travel runs unforgettable trips to Antarctica. A popular example is the Antarctic Explorer tour, which includes 11 nights on state-of-the-art vessel, the Ultramarine, all meals, 5-star accommodations, 2-3 excursions per day, and expert guides.
