Every year, National Geographic drops a list of the top 25 travel destinations you should check out over the following twelve months.
This year, one of our very own counties has made the list.
Topping this year's list is Antigua in Guatemala followed by the Ocala National Forest in Florida.
Then we've got the likes of Bangkok, Los Angeles, and Cerrado, Brazil.
But towards the bottom of the list (but still making the list regardless!) is Cork.
Telling their readers why they should check out the lovely Rebel county, National Geographic state: "Immerse yourself in an emerging urban renaissance.
"The Cork City Development Plan, part of the $128 billion Project Ireland initiative, is funding ambitious and innovative improvements to be completed by 2028 that will redevelop the port and docklands, refurbish the Crawford Art Gallery, and enhance the Cork Event Centre so it can host new concerts, festivals, and exhibitions."
The piece continues: "In September 2025, Ireland’s second city shines during Sounds from a Safe Harbour, a biennial festival of music, dance, and conversation that was cofounded by Oscar-winning Oppenheimer actor and Cork native Cillian Murphy."
