Contiki, a leading travel specialist for young adults, surveyed 5,000 people aged 18 to 35 on their dream destinations for 2017. The findings are clear: Millennials prioritize thrilling adventures and unique experiences over partying. Standouts include soaking in Iceland's Blue Lagoon, hiking the Great Wall of China, and exploring Yosemite National Park in the US—prime picks for this adventure-hungry generation.
The enchanting turquoise waters and dramatic landscapes of Iceland's Blue Lagoon claim first place. Egypt's Pyramids of Giza secure silver, while China's Great Wall—history's longest man-made structure—earns bronze. Other top 20 gems: a Route 66 road trip (6th), Venice gondola rides (7th), Las Vegas nightlife (11th), Byron Bay relaxation in Australia (4th), and Amsterdam bike tours (20th). France shines too, with a kiss under the Eiffel Tower (8th), countryside picnics (10th), and the Mona Lisa (15th). Endless inspiration awaits!
