Europe's best country to visit in 2025 has Maldives-like coast and ancient city
The world's best countries to visit in 2025 have been ranked with one gorgeous European destination taking the top spot - and it's got heaps for Brits to explore The world's best country to visit in 2025 has been revealed, and it boasts some incredible Maldives -worthy beaches, not to mention it's easy for Brits to visit on a budget as it's in Europe. Albania has been emerging as must-visit holiday destination in recent yers, and now travel insiders have ranked it as the top spot that's 'preserved from mass tourism, authentic and affordable', closely followed by Colombia and Laos. The travel experts at HelloSafe, who conducted the study, explained: "Among the top-rated European destinations in 2025, Albania stands out with its still largely unexplored mountainous landscapes, Ionian beaches and excellent value for money." According to the research, the best months to visit are between May and September, which isn't surprising considering this is when the country boasts some enviable hot and sunny weather, with temperatures reaching an average of 32-33C across July and August. There's so much to see and do across the country, but the team flagged that if you're only going to visit one area, make it the "preserved valley of Theth, nestled in the heart of the Albanian Alps". Theth itself is a small village that looks like it's straight out of a storybook, thanks to the lush green valley that surrounds it, complete with ethereal waterfalls and colourful flowers. Hikers will definitely want to don some sturdy boots and take on many of the countless trails that weave through the landscape, with some Instagram-worthy views. For those after more social media fodder, the small coastal village of Ksamil is worth having on your radar. Dubbed 'Europe's answer to the Maldives', it boasts plenty of incredible white beaches and crystal-clear waters, while the Ksamil Islands can be reached by boat or even by kayak if you fancy a day trip. (It's also just a 30-minute ferry ride from Corfu if you want to add a Greek island to the itinerary!). Meanwhile, the 'Stone City' of Gjirokastër is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because of its 'rare examples of an architectural character typical of the Ottoman period'. This citadel town, along with Berat which is part of the site, looks like it belongs in a film set with the ancient ruins, historic churches and dense green surroundings. For those who prefer a city break, the Albanian capital, Tirana, is sure to tick all of the boxes. Boasting an enviable nightlife, plenty of restaurants and heaps of museums to explore, the city also has a plethora of attractions to fill up the itinerary whether that's taking in the mountain views from the cable car, discovering the Cold War bunkers, or taking a guided walking tour of all of the incredible street art nestled across the city. If you want to visit Albania, one of the easiest routes is to fly direct to Tirana, with airlines including Wizz Air and Ryanair offering a range of options from the UK, with fares starting from £19.99 each way (excluding luggage fees).
