Iran
Yes! In 2016, you should definitely go to Iran! To be honest, Iran is slowly recovering the trust of Western countries. For decades, this country was not the first choice of tourists companies, but after successful negotiations on its nuclear program and the end of the embargo, everything is changing for good. And this is excellent news for travelers who have seen everything and who lack new experiences.
Iran is the 18th largest country in the world. Its Persian cultural treasures, archeological and natural wonders are just the tip of the iceberg what can you see in this amazing exotic country. Also, the country's people are longing for communication with other nationalities, are super polite and not spoiled by the tourism industry. However, paradoxically, Iran is one of the safest countries although it is surrounded by many countries at war right now. So you should not be worried about your safety or whatsoever - as a tourist you will be protected even more!
The Baltic States
Worldwide Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia can indeed present themselves as an interesting region. All these countries have attracted a lot of attention from major travel portals and magazines. For instance, Estonia won the most worthy place to visit for a budget travel destination. This is a signal that tourism in the Baltic countries are starting to grow, and travelers will surely find something to do, not only in Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn but also in other cities all around this region. In 2015, Lithuania was added to the list of places worth visiting, while its capital city Vilnius will continue to emerge in the list of the most beautiful Christmas cities in 2016.
Lonely Planet also offers to visit Latvia, a beautiful country in-between Estonia and Lithuania, which can also offer beautiful nature and incredible cultural life in the capital Riga. Moreover, in 2016 Latvia will be celebrating its 25th anniversary of independence. And it is an excellent opportunity to see how much the country has changed since the Soviet Union's occupation.
Greenland
If you want some real challenge in 2016, Greenland is the perfect fit. When the world becomes warmer and warmer every day, more polluted and more populated - Greenland looks like a genuine refreshment oasis, which can help you run away from the modern world and enjoy the real nature just for a little bit.
Here 80 percent of the area is covered by glaciers, and the population is only 56 thousand. Midnight sun in the summer, spectacular Northern Lights during long winter nights or the shores full of huge whales will make you feel like in a dream for sure. And this is why you should visit this amazing island in 2016!
Bhutan
Bhutan is the last Himalayan Buddhist kingdom in the entire world separated not only by high mountain peaks. Only very recently Bhutan began to let more tourists and travelers in. As a result, there is still no adequate infrastructure that would make a stay here more comfortable.
But that is nothing compared to the beauty of this amazing country! This is a place where you can feel like a discoverer, walking around in a land in which no one has ever been. Here you can also find a community of monks and residents of mountain communities, who have not seen a foreigner for 20 years. This fact alone can make a trip here truly exceptional and worthy. So maybe Bhutan can be the one in 2016?
Uruguay
Uruguay is another country, shadowed from its great neighbors - Argentina and Brazil. However, this small and beautiful country has something amazing to offer as well. For example, a peaceful atmosphere, friendliness, and hospitality you will be amazed by!
While the two big neighbors are having tons of political problems, Uruguay demonstrates an enviable political, social and economic stability. It is not surprising that Uruguay has won the "Switzerland of South America" name! Here, tourists should stop by at one of the safest capitals in South America - Montevideo. The beautiful old town, coast, excellent restaurants, and culture can all be found in this marvelous capital city. Also, the Uruguayans bake one of the best beef steaks in the world! Trust us! So here you can also enjoy a truly delicious food as well. And all at very affordable price range!
