Each year Lonely Planet lists 25 must-visit destin Each year Lonely Planet lists 25 must-visit destinations for the upcoming year, and in 2026 Ikara-Flinders Ranges and Outback is the only Aussie destination to make the list.

A five-hour drive north from Adelaide, Lonely Planet has touted the region as, ‘the best for brilliant sunsets and a colossal outback adventure’.

New Zealand’s North Island also made the list for its ‘cultural tourism that gives back’.

The two destinations are ripe for a road trip, who’s ready to lock one in for 2026?
