If you haven't yet planned a trip for 2015, you'll want to get started before you finish reading this.

On Tuesday, TripAdvisor announced its Travelers' Choice awards for destinations in 2015. There are a lot of top destinations -- 469 total, all chosen based on reviews on the site -- meaning there's one suited to nearly every traveler's tastes.

“These world-class destinations chosen by our community are rich in history, culture and beauty and offer endless sights to explore,” said Barbara Messing, chief marketing officer for TripAdvisor, in a press statement.

The lists are compiled based on the quantity and quality of reviews for properties in the city over the past 12 months.
