As travel starts to feel like an exciting reality again, we’ve compiled the top destinations for rediscovering the world in 2022. A combination of destinations on the rise and favorites from Booking.com’s travel community, these places range from charming Welsh seaside towns to Taiwan’s second largest city where you’ll find a blend of vibrant night markets and historic temples.

Taichung, Taiwan

Taichung, Taiwan

By day, Taiwan’s second largest city is a scenic blend of soaring skyscrapers and historic temples. Must-see sites include the prestigious 200-year-old Lecheng Temple, the ornate Chenghuang Temple, and the three-hall style Wanhe Temple, each of which showcases grand Taiwanese architecture and the rich cultural past of the city’s ancestors. But Taichung is most famous for its lively night markets, notably the Feng Chia Night Market. Here an eclectic collection of stalls sells everything from beauty products to sizzling plates of “stinky tofu.” Stay at the stylish K Hotel, located a quick walk from the market.

Traveler tip from Tifanny:

"Time your visit around spring to be lucky enough to witness Taiwan’s beautiful cherry blossom season."

Gramado, Brazil

Gramado, Brazil

Found on a walking route known as “Rota Romântica”—named for its breathtaking scenery—Gramado isn’t what you’d expect to find in Brazil. It’s a small town surrounded by green mountains and filled with gingerbread-style timber houses, and is often compared to an Alpine resort. Far more peaceful than most Brazilian metropolises, it’s a place to shop in artisanal boutiques and indulge in locally-produced chocolate and beer. The best time to visit is late spring (November), when the lavender-blue hydrangeas are in bloom around nearby Lake Negro. Stay in a charming, turreted building in the middle of town at Hotel Sky Gramado.

Atlanta, US

Atlanta, US

As the capital of Georgia, Atlanta is a hub of the state’s culture and offers visitors an urban adventure with cuisine, nightlife, and Southern hospitality. Expect world-class restaurants that incorporate more recent trends like farm-to-table dining into traditional Southern fare with considerable flair. Stay in Midtown Atlanta at the quaint and idyllic Stonehurst Place Bed & Breakfast.

Traveler tip from Lucas:

"The food scene in Atlanta is massive, so you may have trouble narrowing down your top picks. Famous names include Miller Union, Lazy Betty, Gunshow, BoccaLupo, O4W Pizza, The Optimist, Kimball House, Bones, Table & Main, 8Arm, Aria, Grana, Lake & Oak, Talat Market, Supremo Taco, Lyla Lila, Twisted Soul, Umi Sushi, Ticonderoga Club, and many others."
