Places you won't be able to visit in 2024

This year was all about making up for lost time. After the pandemic, visitors "flooded" to Europe's biggest cities and America's national parks as a form of "revenge", as these destinations had been inaccessible during the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, the world has changed a lot since the start of the pandemic. Many businesses closed as people spent time working remotely, and not every tourist attraction survived the period unscathed. Whether they're closing permanently or temporarily, here's a list of places you can't visit in 2024.

Although the Paris museum still looks remarkably modern from the inside out, the Center Pompidou is actually in its sixth decade. After the Summer Olympics in the French capital this summer, the Pompidou will be closed to undergo a 260 million euro ($282 million) modernization program.

Our Lady of the Pipes will be closed by 2030. Meanwhile, the Pompidou's sister museum in Brussels is now in the works, with a projected opening date of 2025.

Plan B: The biggest problem art lovers have in Paris is dwindling options. however with the Pompidou closed, you can visit the Palais de Tokyo. The latter also has an outstanding collection of modern art, while the Musee de Quai Branly opened in 2006 with a variety of art and artefacts from around the world.

Splash Mountain, Orlando, Florida and Anaheim, California

One of Disney's most popular attractions hosted its last rides in 2023: Splash Mountain. Two 'Splash Mountains' at Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida will reopen as Tiana's Bayou Adventure, inspired by the movie The Princess and the Frog.

Plan B: Reopen Disneyland in Asia. Disneyland in Asia makes it ideal for Disney superfans to visit the company's parks in Japan and China. The smallest park, Disneyland Hong Kong, unveiled World of Frozen for the first time in the fall of 2023.

The world's best restaurant has officially been stripped of its crown. Noma, the Copenhagen restaurant that popularized New Nordic cuisine, will serve its last customers in 2024. However, it won't disappear entirely. In 2025, Noma will reopen as "a pioneering test kitchen dedicated to the work of food innovation and the development of new flavors," according to a statement on its website.

Plan B: The current best restaurant in the world is Centrali, in Lima. Even if you can't get a table, there are plenty of great places in Peru's capital where you can order quinoa, potatoes, herbs, fish, chili and other local ingredients.

Phantom of the Opera, New York City

After 35 years and nearly 14,000 performances, the iconic musical "Phantom of the Opera" will make its final appearance on the New York City stage in 2023. It retired with the honor of being the longest-running Broadway show ever staged. on stage, beating other well-known musicals such as "Cats", "Les Miserables" and "A Chorus Line".

Plan B: Although the Phantom disappeared immediately, Broadway is still as entertaining as ever for theatergoers. These days, though, it's easier to grab tickets to Spamalot or Kimberly Akimbo on the TodayTix app instead of waiting in the famous TKTS line. Once you've booked your seats, head to Times Square early to check out the surprisingly cool spots that even the snobbiest NYC locals love to visit.

Home to the world-famous Ishtar Gate, the Pergamon Museum is part of Berlin's UNESCO World Heritage Site Museum Island complex.

The museum will be closed until 2027 as part of an ambitious improvement project, which will create a new central pedestrian area, expand the exhibition halls and much more.

Plan B: Travelers who want to enjoy the Pergamon Museum but can't, can visit the nearby Das Panorama – where some pieces from the museum will be on display during the renovation.
