World’s Best Places to Visit for 2025

Rome

When you visit Italy’s capital city, prepare to cross a few must-see landmarks – including the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon – off of your bucket list. Travelers can also see some of Italy’s greatest treasures, including St. Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, in Vatican City. Once you get your bearings, peruse some of Rome’s lesser-known museums, art galleries and boutiques, or head to Janiculum Hill for panoramic views of the city. The Eternal City is always popular, but with the Catholic Jubilee taking place throughout 2025, expect even more crowds and book accommodations and airfare well in advance.
