As another year nears its end, it’s worth taking stock of the new places we’ve discovered in 2025. Perhaps it was a quiet seaside resort, an exceptional gallery or museum, an unforgettable restaurant, a wonderful hiking route or vibrant nightlife in a small town. We’d love to hear about your finds in Europe and the UK – the more unusual the better!
The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
