Last year we saw a rise in group trips as social media pages facilitated travel for individual people not wanting to go it alone. On the flip side of that, the solo escape skyrocketed as a way to re-centre yourself and find some peace in the era of career-induced burnout. With the likes of Taylor Swift's Eras tour and Oasis' comeback, we have also seen a rise in fans voyaging to stages far and wide to catch glimpses of their favourite artists echoing the traditional that exists in the sporting world with fans jet-setting off to foreign finals in support of their teams. Wondering what's on the cards for 2026? HELLO! has consulted the experts to learn what the new year will bring in terms of travel trends and up and coming destinations so you can nab your tickets first, before everyone else catches on.

Re-introducing Bolton! From Industrial Revolution textile powerhouse to cinematic elite, the town in Greater Manchester is reinventing its image one major motion picture at a time. A hotspot for celebrity residences, the area was dubbed 'Hollywood of the north' after film crews descended on landmarks like Le Mans Crescent to recreate the eras depicted in the likes of Peaky Blinders, A Gentleman in Moscow and It's A Sin. Bolton has well and truly earned its award-worthy status, and as word gets out, its star is only shining brighter and brighter. With an average house price hovering just above £200,000, it is becoming the place to put down roots. HELLO! explored why Bolton is quickly becoming one of the most coveted postcodes in the UK.

Songs are written about wanting to wake up to a light dusting of snow, every festive movie features a snow moment, and many of the season's symbols revolve around having fun in frosty weather. While in some areas of the UK, the chances of a white winter wonderland are a bit hit and miss, in some regions, snow is more likely than others and happens more often than we'd expect. Come wintertime, certain corners of the country are transformed into fairytale landscapes and provide the perfect, idyllic backdrops for the most wonderful time of the year. HELLO! has rounded up some of the best places to feast your eyes on snow this Christmas, from quaint cobblestone streets and pub windows dusted in snowflakes to our very own City of Chocolate.

Connected by vast railway networks, the world boasts some truly stunning train stations that serve as gateways to exciting journeys. From modern architectural feats to beautiful historic facades that are a tourist attraction in themselves, these waiting places are a constant in any town, city and village and offer visitors not just a spot to catch a train but a glimpse into the history and culture of the country's transport. European travel and tourism expert at CityTrip Travel Christian Petzold told HELLO!: "The memorable aspect of the stations is not only their architecture but also the whole environment, the bustling of commuters, the aroma of coffee, the platforms where the announcements are reverberating. "I would recommend that travellers spend a little time in the stations, which are not only serving the destinations but also the historical landmarks of their own." As a big fan of trains myself, I wanted to find out what the most stunning stations were in the world and compiled a list of my must-sees for our readers with the help of the recent Prix Versailles architecture and design awards.

The northern country is peppered with picturesque villages nestled between mountainous terrain and larger cities that are almost too cute to be real. From countryside escapes to city hideaways and seaside havens, Scotland's villages offer something for everyone, whether you are just visiting or live locally.

London's extensive train network means you can pretty much travel anywhere across the country in a matter of hours. Fancy some fresh, salty sea air? No problem, there's a day trip for that.
