Spiritual travel is seeing a boom: Here are popular destinations to visit

As travelers book vacations seeking action, adventure and relaxation, there has been a growing number of people factoring in spirituality.

Spiritual trips prioritize mindfulness, faith and connecting with nature. 

Away Holidays, a U.K.-based travel agency, found that searches for spiritual travel have increased by 57% in the past three months.

Tokyo, Japan, took first place, given its 3,867 spiritual attractions, including iconic sites like the Meiji Shrine and Senso-ji Temple.

"Tokyo is a bustling metropolis that seamlessly blends modernity with tradition. . . . Tokyo provides ample opportunities for relaxation," the agency noted in a press release.

The city has 308 parks, 855 spas and 121 yoga studios, according to Away Holidays.

St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity Church are popular tourist spots, as are New York's 373 parks.

Paris, France, followed as it boasts 1,098 spiritual attractions, most notably the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Berlin, Germany, fell into fifth place with 357 spiritual attractions and 156 parks.

"Berlin is a city of contrasts, offering both historic and modern wellness experiences," said the release.

Last week, a travel expert told Fox News Digital that people will visit these iconic landmarks after seeing them featured in movies or on social media, and to attain cultural immersion.

"These landmarks give our travelers both unforgettable moments and the perfect aesthetic for their feeds, aligning with Instagram's current love of authenticity and cultural depth," said Norman, who is based in the United Kingdom.

"It's not just about the photo or video; it's about capturing a moment that feels bigger than yourself."
