These Are the Top Trending Food Destinations for Summer 2025—From Italy to Upstate New York

The warm season is right around the corner, which makes right now the perfect time to make your summer travel arrangements. And if you're anything like the rest of us, then you're likely centering your next getaway around some delicious meals. And Airbnb knows exactly where you should go to do just that. In late April, the home rental website released its 2025 summer travel trends report. The company explains that people are seeking more locally focused experiences than ever before, which typically includes where they can get those local flavors. These Are the Top Trending Food Destinations for Summer 2025—From Italy to Upstate New York "Globally, 1 in 5 guests said they chose Airbnb over other types of accommodation because they wanted a local travel experience," Airbnb shared. "This summer, travelers are avoiding the summer crowds and swapping culinary capitals for more local, affordable foodie destinations." Airbnb cited another poll conducted by Panterra, which showed that nearly half (47 percent) of those travelers "prioritize authentic local cuisine as their top food and beverage experience." Airbnb took things a step further by showcasing its top trending foodie destinations, which include Alassio, Italy, which "offers a similar coastal retreat to Positano, with a vibrant culinary scene centered around its fresh local seafood, wild flowers and herbs, and famous Riviera Ligure DOP extra-virgin olive oil." It also named Rotterdam, Netherlands, in its list thanks to that city's "innovative international food scene." Then there's Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain, a beach town in Costa de la Luz, where top-rated restaurants specialize in cooking the best seafood in the world. Airbnb also shouted out Belo Horizonte in Brazil, "famous for its flavorful and traditional Minas Gerais dishes," along with Shillong, India, "celebrated for its unique local delicacies and traditional Khasi cuisine." It named Marloth Park, South Africa, adjacent to Kruger National Park, as one more must-visit food and drink destination as it's well-known for its grape cultivation, Arakawa City, Japan for its ramen and gyoza, Rawai, Thailand for more fresh seafood and local ingredients, and Santa Teresita, Argentina for its global bites with "influences from Italian, Spanish, and other European cultures." However, you don't have to whip out your passport for a food-focused getaway. Airbnb also cited Oneonta, New York as a top food-focused spot, explaining it's a "hidden gem escape in the Catskills that's home to a variety of breweries alongside a diverse array of dining options, with a focus on farm-to-table ingredients."

Airbnb says this Arizona cabin tops travelers' wishlists. Here's why and how to stay there

There's no shortage of unique Airbnb properties you can rent for a one-of-a-kind vacation. Recently Airbnb unveiled the properties in each U.S. state that travelers ranked among the highest on their wishlists of places to stay. In Alaska, it's a one-bedroom bus. Florida has a converted Chinook helicopter. Kentucky offers a "glamping" experience with a geodesic dome. It's probably no surprise to Arizonans that the most "wish-listed" Airbnb property is a cabin near Flagstaff. The Vista A-frame is settled among the forest and within walking distance of a nature preserve and just a short drive from downtown. Here's what to know about the unique Arizona property, including how to rent it and what makes it special. The most wish-listed Airbnb in Arizona is the Vista A-Frame, a two-bedroom cabin nestled in the forest. The scenery and location are a big selling point for this Airbnb listing, which sits on a half-acre lot in the Kachina Village neighborhood. It is 10 minutes from downtown Flagstaff and just a short drive to some of Arizona's most popular destinations The design of the home perfectly complements the outdoorsy setting. The listing calls it "cozy and moody" with a "peaceful and treehouse-like experience." The home has knotty pine paneling on the walls of A-frame and features a gas fireplace plus a spiral staircase leading to an exposed loft. There is also outdoor eating and cooking space with quick access to the Kachina Wetlands Preserve, a beautiful birding hotspot with walking trails. It is a "guest favorite," according to Airbnb. "This home is one of the highest ranked based on ratings, reviews, and reliability," the listing indicates. Not only did guests highlight the location and its natural beauty, they commented on how well stocked and comfortable the Airbnb was, too. "The cabin was absolutely stunning and cozy! We had the best weekend," wrote Gabriella. "A perfect getaway near Flagstaff - near enough to town for dinner and far enough to feel serene," Sam wrote in his review. You can reserve the Vista A-Frame online at The cabin requires a two-night stay, which will cost at least $800 and possibly more than $900.
