These two destinations seem to evoke a sense of wonder, perhaps thanks to the rich history and curious castles, lush green landscapes and ever-changing scenery. Picture yourself standing atop Edinburgh Castle, then exploring the vast Highlands.

Some future travellers mentioned they are eager to adventure through the whole region to explore its rich culture, war history, and delicious cuisine. From the sights of Sarajevo to the seaside at Split, trips to the Balkans offer a rewarding mix of fairytale landscapes with lush mountains, turquoise rivers, and medieval ruins, and painfully beautiful coastal scenes with fresh fish and seafood dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few guests specifically mentioned Croatia. And who can blame them after seeing pictures of the turquoise-blue Adriatic Sea shimmering beneath summer skies? With dozens of islands off the coast, there are hundreds of beautiful beaches to explore, seafood dinners to click glasses of local wine over, and a new culture to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/balkan-delight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Balkan Delight<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/01\/balkans-towns-korcula-croatia-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-871896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/balkans-towns-korcula-croatia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/balkans-towns-korcula-croatia-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/balkans-towns-korcula-croatia.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Did you know you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/trafalgar-unlocked-awards\/?utm_source=therealword&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=trafalgarunlocked2023&amp;utm_content=campaignarticle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">win a trip to the Balkans<\/a> with us this year?!

This forever favourite destination always crops up in our most popular polls, and for good reason. Fortunately there is so much to uncover (and seemingly endless bowls of regional pasta to try) across the boot. From the Alpine scenery and lakes of the north, to the sizzling scenes of Sicily in the south, Italy offers a huge range of experiences. That makes it easy to return again and again&#8230; like when planning your travel in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/northern-italy-including-cinque-terre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Northern Italy Including Cinque Terre<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2022\/11\/itay-sicily-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-871663\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/itay-sicily-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/itay-sicily-330x248.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/itay-sicily.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re keen to travel to Italy in 2023, start looking at tours for summer now as the most popular trips will sell out.
