Caption: BARCELONA TO MADRID 🇪🇸 In 2024, photographer Emily Simms journeyed through Spain by train for Lonely Planet – and left us all craving an adventure of our own. Sure, summer is scorching, but Spain's nearly 5000km (3107 miles) of coastline make it easy to cool off between city-hopping. Link in bio for Lonely Planet's 2026 summer travel picks 🔗 📸: @emlysmms

Caption: You know when you come back from a trip and you have to almost physically restrain yourself from telling every single person you come across about it? It was just so "otherworldly," as Lonely Planet's Brekke called her Antarctica journey, or "straight out of a fairytale," like photo editor Rhia's Lake Bled adventure. Consider yourself free to share. Tell us about the trip YOU can't stop talking about ⬇️

Location: Yungas De San Lorenzo, Reserva Natural, Salta, Argentina
Caption: Welcome to the rainforest you haven't heard of surrounding the city of San Francisco – not in California, but nestled deep in The Yungas in Northern Argentina. Here to show you around is lifelong Argentinian and Lonely Planet Correspondent @gabitofranco of @tripinargentina, who visited the area with @visitjujuy (who opened the Río Jordán hot springs early, right before high season, especially for him). "To fully experience this region, I recommend setting aside at least five days and flying into the city of San Salvador de Jujuy," he says. See more of Gabo's top recs and let us know where he should explore for Lonely Planet next 👇 Stay: @hospedaje.sanfrancisco, @tia.carola, @hoteldelingenio_ Eat: @el.puesto.sanfrancisco Visit: @pncalilegua, @finca_lafe San Francisco Guide: @laotracaradejujuy

Caption: Sometimes, the very best trips leave you absolutely covered in dirt. At least that’s how @acacia_gabriel found herself: dirt-covered in Belize after a “pretty intense ‘Mad Max’-style ATV ride.” But she wasn’t filthy the entire time; for the other half of the trip, she was underwater. “It was so interesting to learn more about how the country is protecting the ocean, including the world’s second-largest barrier reef.”

Location: Barcelona, Spain
Caption: What truly defines mornings in Barcelona, Spain: a good bocata, chocolate con churros or an esmorzar de forquilla "when you want something heartier and more traditional," says Lonely Planet Correspondent Carla (@eatinbcn), who shares the best bites in her home city.

Caption: GUIDE TO MANITOBA 🇨🇦 Slow down and enjoy the best spots in Manitoba, where open spaces seem to stretch forever – rolling fields reach all the way north to the Arctic tundra beyond. Rituals await, between a room with a view and German Aufguss rituals that invite you to pause and sink your teeth into this Canadian gem.

Caption: Summer in Spain by train, anyone? Sidestep July and August's intense heat on Europe’s longest high-speed rail and, in just one day, you could gaze at Gaudí’s architectural genius in Barcelona, be whisked by rail to Madrid’s museums and still arrive in Seville for a sunset flamenco show.
