A list of the 26 best new things to do in the world in 2026 has been released, although it appears to have been interpreted differently by various outlets. Some outlets have focused on the best things to do in specific cities, such as Canberra, Washington D.C., Toronto, and Mexico City, while others have highlighted experiences in particular regions or destinations, like Iowa and Disney Springs. The list's original intent and scope are unclear, as different publications have applied the concept to distinct locations and themes.
