The 10 Best Countries To Travel To In 2017

Good news for globe-trotters. Lonely Planet has revealed its latest 'Best in Travel' selections for 2017, which means there's a brand new list of countries to add to your holiday wish-list.

Where are the trendiest places to visit next year? According to the travel brand's in-house experts, Canada is the top destination for several reasons.

"First, it's the country's biggest birthday party in recent memory with the sesquicentennial next year, and they won't be shy about celebrating," Lonely Planet's Canada Destination Editor Alex Howard told us. "Also, international travelers can expect their money to go further due to the weak Canadian dollar, so now is the time to start planning a trip."

Colombia, ranked in second place, has also been named a must-see country, thanks to its "cinematic colonial preservation, Towering Andean peaks, lush Amazonian forest and enigmatic, jungle-hidden ruins."
