The year 2025 has begun, and, for many, so has vacation planning. If you are still unsure where to go on your next trip, a new analysis from the travel portal Airbnb may provide some inspiration. Based on the places that are searched for most frequently on the platform, a list of the most popular travel destinations for 2025 has been compiled. TRAVELBOOK presents the list.

Not Only Large Metropolitan Areas in Demand

In a press release on the list of the most popular travel destinations in 2025, the rental platform Airbnb states that adventure travel is still very much in vogue this year. There is also a correlation between popular destinations and major events. For example, Coldplay concerts have increased inquiries for Mumbai, and the Holy Week in Seville is also an incentive for many to travel. But not everyone dreams of time out in big cities, some simply want to relax in a small town—in Bad Staffelstein, to be precise.

Bad Staffelstein Is One of the Most Popular Travel Destinations in 2025

The fact that the small Bavarian town is mentioned in the same breath as places like Palermo or Kyoto may come as a surprise to many, at first. But the town in Upper Franconia has a lot to offer. Bad Staffelstein is a popular spa town that impresses above all with its spa Obermain Therme with Bavaria’s warmest and strongest thermal brine water and a spacious sauna area. The nearby Staffelberg offers breathtaking views and is a paradise for hikers, while cultural highlights, such as the baroque abbey Kloster Banz and the church Wallfahrtskirche Vierzehnheiligen, enrich the region. Paired with typical Franconian cuisine and a charming old town, Bad Staffelstein has so much to offer its visitors, earning it a place on Airbnb’s list of most popular destinations for 2025.
