| | Regions offer travellers a different perspective on the surrounding country. They range from blockbusters to the unknown, but something – scenery, culture, both – marks them out as special. Here are Lonely Planet's best regions to explore in 2020. | | |
 | | Top experiences in Italy's Le Marche | | Le Marche is one of Italy’s best-kept secrets. Sandwiched between the Adriatic and its better known neighbours Tuscany and Umbria, this quiet and sparsely-populated region has long slipped under the travel radar. Yet with a string of charming hilltop towns and a landscape ranging from snow-capped Apennine peaks to dreamy beaches and otherworldly caves, it’s the perfect place to experience Italy without the crowds. | | | | | |
 | | 8 big adventures in the Maine backwoods | | Stretching across stony peaks and rolling whitewater, Maine goes big in the state’s vast, forested interior. With thousands of moose and not many people, the landscape dares visitors to tackle oversized adventures, from skiing backcountry trails to reeling in bass on the Penobscot River. | | | | | |
 | | Explore the sustainable paradise of Lord Howe Island | | Few Australians are aware that New Caledonia, a fully-fledged French overseas territory, is closer to Sydney than Auckland in New Zealand. Just as intriguingly, about half as close again – 741km from Brisbane or 779km from Sydney – the isolated volcanic outcrop of Lord Howe Island is a part of Australia that many Aussies have never heard of, let alone visited. | | | | | |
 | | Highlights of Guizhou, China’s secret southwest province | | In a hidden corner of southwest China, a mountainous province remains secreted away from the travel trail. Little-known Guizhou is sandwiched in between more popular neighbours Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi, and rarely gets any attention. But Guizhou is rich in all of the things that draw travellers to China: mythic scroll-painting mountains, diverse cultures and truly remarkable food. | | | | | |
 | | Best of Tajikistan & Uzbekistan with a G Adventures tour | | Get yourself to two incredible (and often overlooked) destinations: Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. This 15-day combo trip brings together the best highlights of these two cultures for first-time visitors including some of our favourite experiences along the Central Asian Silk Road. | | | | | |
