Culture lovers, take note
Yale Center for British Art

Lonely Planet has just released its list of the best museums to visit in 2025. While iconic institutions like the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art in New York remain cultural cornerstones, this year’s selection highlights some lesser-known gems that deserve a spot on every traveler’s itinerary.

At the top of the list is the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Poland. Founded in 2005, this relatively young institution has quickly established itself as a key player in the contemporary art scene. The museum focuses on works by Polish artists from the 20th and 21st centuries, with a particular emphasis on pieces created after the Cold War.

The best restaurants in Des Moines for every foodie craving

Des Moines, Iowa.

The best restaurants in America are spread all over this vast land, from the evergreen-lined streets of Seattle to the sun-kissed beaches of Miami.

And beyond the megacities like Chicago, there are other places to get a top-shelf meal too.

Take Des Moines, the capital city of Iowa. With a metro area of about a half-million, there are more than enough souls to create a solid culinary foundation. Sure, there are the steakhouses and convivial bars one might associate with The Hawkeye State. But there's also more eclectic fare, from Chinese-inspired pizza and Nepalese cuisine to stellar cocktail bars.
