After almost two years without international travel, it’s finally time to start planning your next overseas holiday or business trip – and there are plenty of destinations to choose from.

Although there are countless places we’re eager to explore this year, we’ve narrowed it down to a list of ten top picks. From North America to Europe to Asia, check out our 2022 hit list of dream destinations (all of which are accessible on an Airfare Geeks round-the-world trip!).

Bangkok, Thailand

An ever-popular Aussie tourist destination, Thailand is the perfect place to start a round-the-world journey. After all, why wouldn’t you want to immerse yourself in a country that’s renowned for its friendly people, beautiful beaches, fascinating history and delicious food?

Osaka, Japan

Looking for an unbeatable nightlife and street food scene? Get ready to check out Osaka, Japan’s third-largest city. Here, you can mingle with friendly locals, catch an international musical act or DJ, learn about traditional Japanese culture, and shop to your heart’s content.

Dubai, UAE

Next up: Dubai, the home of opulence and luxury. While you’re here, stand in awe as you look up at the modern architecture, including the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. And don’t forget to stop by the Dubai Mall for some retail therapy!

Split, Croatia

Leaving the ultramodern city of Dubai, now head back in time to explore the breathtaking port city of Split. Spend a few days wandering through the ancient Roman Empire-era ruins before hopping aboard a boat to sail through the deep blue of the picturesque Adriatic Sea.

Milan, Italy

Whether you follow fashion or not, you’ll have a fantastic time in the ever-stylish city of Milan. During your visit, you’ll have the chance to walk through centuries-old piazzas, dine at some of the finest restaurants in Italy, and marvel at countless artistic and architectural masterpieces.

Helsinki, Finland

Positioned along the Gulf of Finland, Helsinki is well-known for its waterfront location, museums, and imposing architecture. Stroll along the Mannerheimintie, Helsinki’s main street, as you learn about hundreds of years of Finnish history in this one-of-a-kind city.

Dublin, Ireland

Welcome to the Emerald Isle! There’s so much to see in Ireland’s capital, including the historic Dublin Castle, the awe-inspiring St Patrick’s Cathedral, and the sprawling greenery of Trinity College Dublin.

Austin, TX, USA

It’s easy to understand why Austin is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. From the creative foodie culture to the unparalleled live music scene to the breathtaking natural beauty, the state capital of Texas has something for everyone.

Cancún, Mexico

Cancún may be known as a party destination, but the city on the Yucatán Peninsula also has much more to offer. Along with the world-famous nightlife scene, you’ll also find beaches, jungles, ancient ruins, and unique shopping destinations.

Lima, Peru

It’s one of South America’s largest modern cities, but Lima also has plenty to offer in terms of history and culture. Museums, plazas, and churches line the city, serving as an idyllic backdrop to the unrivalled Peruvian street food scene.
