A new travel trend is sweeping the world in 2025. Forgot the fear of missing out, this year it's all about the joy of missing out - otherwise known as ‘JOMO’. JOMO is the antidote to the restless, tickbox trips.
The ‘jomo’ trend appeals to those who want to visit a place and really sink into the experience, rather than chasing full itineraries. If this sounds like a bit of you, then the latest research from Lotus Car Rental will be perfect. They have just revealed the top holiday destinations for people who want a slower paced holiday, and one European city has come out on top of the list.
Stockholm in Sweden has been named the most relaxing city to escape to, in part because of how clean its air is. The city's air is one of the cleanest in the world, and Stockholm also ranked low for sound pollution . The average 10km journey across the city takes 15 minutes 30 seconds, which can be attributed to the fewer people and less industry than most capital cities.
Visitors looking for a slower paced experience can stroll across this wondrous city, exploring open-air museums and locally sourced food without too many distractions. One of the top things to do in this city is explore Djurgården’s tranquil waterside and woodland trails. If you’re into your art and history, this island also boasts several of the capital’s most significant museums - there’s even one dedicated to Swedish superstars ABBA.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite from wandering, you could try out.
