The Year's Best Travel Photos and Videos

We’re excited to announce that the Wanderlust Visions gallery was on site in London, where visitors were able to see the stunning finalist images up close – and vote for their favourite.

Wanderlust Visions is the UK’s longest-running travel photography and videography competition. This year’s photo categories were People, Wildlife, Culture, Landscape, and Abu Dhabi, alongside a videography category themed “hidden travel surprises”.

Open to both professionals and amateurs, the shortlist went live in January 2026 ahead of the gallery showcase and public vote at Destinations.
