Every Tuesday, we embark on a global journey with #TravelTuesday! At Belgium Sotheby’s International Realty, we’re part of a network of international agencies, and each week, we take you on a virtual tour of exquisite properties from around the world. From hidden gems to iconic destinations, we’ve showcased a curated selection of luxury properties that span continents, countries, and cultures. And as the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back at the unforgettable places we’ve explored together.
A world of discovery
This year, Travel Tuesday featured 52 remarkable destinations, spanning 30 countries across 5 continents. Each post was an invitation to explore the world’s most desirable locales, from the snow-capped peaks of the Alps to the sun-kissed beaches of the Caribbean. It was a celebration of culture, luxury, and the art of living well, as we shared the stories of properties in some of the most breathtaking locations on Earth.

And whether it was the tranquil vineyards of Provence or the sophisticated charm of London, Europe remained a consistent favorite on our travel map.

A love for the sea
Waterfront destinations continued to steal the spotlight in 2024, accounting for nearly 40% of our destinations. Whether the rugged cliffs of Hvar, Croatia, the serene beaches of Jamaica, or the pristine shores of Saint-Tropez, the sea seemed to call us back every week. These coastal retreats, with their endless views and soothing sounds, were the perfect setting for the stunning properties we highlighted, adding an element of calm and serenity to the year’s adventures.
