TIME's world's greatest places 2024: See which US destinations made the list

America's most popular national parks

The United States is home to 63 stunning national parks. Here's a look at some of the most visited.

TIME has released its 2024 world’s greatest places list of 100 "extraordinary destinations," including 20 in the U.S.

TIME said it compiled the list based on nominations from correspondents and contributors around the globe, as well as an application process. The destinations, TIME said, are the epitome of "what the collective we desires most when unburdened from daily stressors and responsibilities."

"While last year's list featured 50 cities, this year we decided to explore even more—and more specific—establishments that stand out in their field, and the world," TIME wrote.

Here are the U.S. destinations that made the cut. See the full list from TIME here.
