TOP 10 Countries to Travel to in 2019
The publication Lonely Planet has once again published its ranking of the top 10 best countries in the world for travel in 2019. Unusual destinations made it into the TOP. Let's take a look and plan our vacation!
10. Belize
Without a map, you wouldn't immediately know where this state is hidden. It's in Central America, sharing borders with Guatemala and Mexico. 30% of the country's inhabitants are descendants of English pirates and African slaves; there are even real Mayan Indians. People come here for nature, as most of the country is forests, rivers, and lakes. And it's near Belize that the Great Blue Hole is located – a mysterious sinkhole right in the ocean. A visa is required for a visit, but if the purpose of the trip is tourism for no more than 30 days, the visa is issued at the border. But don't go there in February-March – that's the season for fierce rains.
9. São Tomé and Príncipe
Again, you wouldn't immediately know where this is. The island is located in the Gulf of Guinea near African Gabon. An endlessly green place, it will appeal to lovers of unusual and exotic holidays. The huge Obo National Park, Blue Lagoon, and Pico Cão Grande mountain attract visitors here. But to visit the island, you need to get several vaccinations.
8. Belarus
Wow! The easing of the visa regime has attracted tourists from all over the world. There are two types of holidays in this country: urban and wellness. Minsk has changed a lot in recent years, becoming cleaner, friendlier, and more cheerful. And Belarusian health resorts are legendary throughout Europe.
7. Indonesia
Remember that Indonesia is not just Bali. It's also Jakarta, Balikpapan, Makassar, West New Guinea, and many other cities and islands. Don't limit yourself to just one; Indonesia is meant to be explored and explored!
6. Jordan
More and more tourists are traveling to Amman to get acquainted with Jordanian culture. It is in this country that a piece of Mars is located – the red desert of Wadi Rum, where more than one space film was shot. But seeing it is one thing, being there is quite another. At least you can confidently tell your friends that you've been to Mars!
5. Kyrgyzstan
Mountains? There are plenty here. So you won't be bored – the nature is stunning. Start your acquaintance in Bishkek, then head inland to Lake Issyk-Kul, Karakol, and from there move towards the gorge of the same name. The beauty is incredible and definitely worth your vacation.
4. Panama
Another country transitioning from Central to South America. On one side, Costa Rica, on the other, Colombia. Many are attracted by the fact that one day you can swim in the Caribbean Sea, and the next you're splashing in the Pacific Ocean. If a beach holiday isn't for you, sign up for hiking tours, because there's plenty to see! The territory has small mountains, various volcanic remnants, and historical ruins where pirates once hid.
3. Zimbabwe
Another African corner. Although there's no sea here, there are so many types of animals! To see them all, head to the reserves for a safari. Here you'll also find the hundred-meter Victoria Falls. It's just like in the Lion King cartoon. And don't worry about your health. It's not necessary to get vaccinations to visit the country; it's enough to take malaria pills and wear long-sleeved clothing.
2. Germany
You can't do without Europe, and why not? Diverse Germany has it all: mountains, access to two seas, strict architectural and lively cheerful culture, even its own hot air balloon festival and the Black Forest from Little Red Riding Hood's tales.
1. Sri Lanka
And here's the undisputed favorite of the list! Surfing, sunsets, tea, freshest fruits, yoga, the ocean, and surfing again. It's hard to refuse such a holiday, and there's no need to. Just grab your tickets :)
