25 Best Summer Vacations Everyone Should Consider in 2024

From Monaco to Napa Valley, these summertime getaways have something for every type of traveler.

The term “summer vacation” conjures images of sunny afternoons at the beach and leisurely drives through the countryside. While plenty of travelers have their go-to spots, others view summer as the perfect time to embark on a new adventure, such as hiking to Machu Picchu, surfing in Nicaragua, or road-tripping through the American West.

No matter how many passport stamps you've collected or countries you've checked off your list, there's always a new corner of the globe to discover. Summertime getaways to places like Scotland and the U.S. Virgin Islands have recently been growing in popularity among travelers, joining the ranks of classic summer vacation destinations like Greece and Italy.

From river cruises to train adventures to African safaris, these are the best summer vacation ideas for 2024.

Enjoy la dolce vita in Italy.

When it comes to romance, few places rival the allure of Italy. You've got the history of Rome, the art of Venice, the fashion-forward vibe of Milan, the dreamy Mediterranean coastline, the wineries of Tuscany, the pizza of Naples, and more. During the summer, temperatures can soar to over 85 degrees, so consider visiting a destination by the sea or a lake, where you can escape the heat. For a true Italian villeggiatura (summer vacation), book a room at Passalacqua on Lake Como or Borgo Santandrea on the Amalfi Coast .

Take a road trip from Charleston to Savannah.

While it's mighty hot in the South during the summer (we’re talking temperatures in the 80s and 90s), there's plenty of sweet tea and lemonade available to cool you down. Begin your trip in the port city of Charleston, where you can wander picturesque cobblestone streets, walk the promenade along the ocean, photograph the colorful, historical homes of Rainbow Row, and eat your weight in crab cakes, hush puppies, and other Southern classics. Stay at The Loutrel , a luxury boutique hotel just steps away from some of the best things to do in Charleston .

Then, hop in the car and make your way to Savannah, about two hours south. While the coastal Georgia city has similar architecture and Spanish moss-draped oak trees, it also boasts dozens of world-class museums and art galleries where you can escape the heat. Check into The Alida , named one of the best hotels in Savannah by T+L readers.

Explore the cities of Colombia.

Colombia continues to climb the list of must-visit countries for curious travelers, and for good reason: Medellín offers immersion into art and culture, while Cartagena pairs history with seaside allure.

Often called the "City of Eternal Spring" due to its year-round warm weather, Medellín is especially pleasant in the summer when temperatures range from around 65 to 75 degrees. Days can be spent sipping gin cocktails on outdoor patios, hiking nearby mountains, exploring the surrounding rain forest, and getting a great calf workout (the town is built on hills).

While you're in the port city of Cartagena, you'll travel back in time to the 16th century through its iconic Old Town, which features colorful colonial buildings and cobblestone streets. Plus, the nearby white-sand beaches are never too crowded. Temperatures reach the upper 80s all summer, so prepare for sweltering days. Find some relief in a room at the Casa San Agustín . 

Pretend you're 007 in Monaco.

If you haven't been to Paris, summer is a special time to visit. But, if you've had your fill of lazy sunset picnics along the Seine, consider Monaco instead. This tiny independent city-state on the Mediterranean coastline of France oozes international spy vibes. You'll feel like an extra in a James Bond film as you gamble at upscale casinos, sample local dishes at La Condamine market, or stroll along the boardwalk, admiring Monaco's hillside beauty in the pleasant summer weather, with highs of around 75 to 80 degrees. Complete your storybook vacation by checking into the iconic Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo . 

Get lost in the Medina of Marrakesh.

The North African country of Morocco is diverse, with a rich history and plenty of unique experiences to engage your senses. Whether you spend your time perusing the rows of local goods that line the winding lanes of the Medina of Marrakesh or riding a camel into the sunset and losing count of the stars in the Sahara Desert sky, a summertime trip is both invigorating and enticing. It's outside of the high season, so if you can take the nearly 100-degree heat, you'll benefit from fewer crowds and a calmer getaway — well, as calm as it can get while you bargain for tiles and dodge motorbikes. Book a stay at the Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech for private villas with lush gardens and open-air spa treatments. 

Laze around in Montego Bay.

A hop-and-a-skip from the East Coast, Montego Bay on Jamaica's north coast is an idyllic spot to disconnect for a hot second. And by hot, we do mean hot: Temperatures can reach the high 80s in the summer, creating the perfect conditions for lazy days spent reading, dipping into the calm waters, and sipping rum cocktails. Relax at a resort or venture out to explore some of Jamaica's best beaches , such as Doctor's Cave Beach or Walter Fletcher Beach. If you're into snorkeling or scuba-certified, the protected waves of Montego Bay Marine Park are a must, too. Stay at the Round Hill Hotel and Villas to get a feel for the island's barefoot luxury. 

Summit Machu Picchu.

The dry season (June, July, and August) is one of the most popular times of year to visit Machu Picchu due to the blue skies, lush green grass, and awe-inspiring views. Whether you're up for the challenge of hiking the Inca Trail or would prefer the Inca Rail , it's wise to spend a few days sightseeing and acclimatizing to the altitude in the nearby city of Cusco. The former capital of the Inca Empire is full of charm, with a hilltop that lights up at night, bustling local markets, and countless alpaca stores to splurge on a sweater for the chilly nights. For the best views of Machu Picchu, climb the mountain in front of it, Huayna Picchu. Then, return to the JW Marriott El Convento Cusco , where the hotel’s historic trappings and oxygen-enriched rooms are the perfect way to rebound after a day in the Andes.

Eat your way around Lima.

For foodies who prefer eating to sightseeing on vacation, Lima will feel like the holy grail of culinary destinations. There are countless restaurants with Michelin stars and affordable tasting menus. During June, July, and August, the Peruvian capital boasts sunshine-filled days and little rain, with balmy temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees. When you're not restaurant hopping, you can learn how to surf, snap photos of impressive graffiti art, and pet the countless cats who live in Parque Kennedy. Word to the wise: If you want to dine at top restaurants Central or Astrid & Gastón , you'll likely have to make reservations weeks or months in advance. Miraflores Park, A Belmond Hotel provides all the comforts of a five-star hotel alongside Peruvian cuisine, a rooftop pool with Pacific Ocean views, and a convenient location for exploring the area, including the hip Barranco neighborhood.  

Ride the swells in Nicaragua.

Nicaragua is one of the top places to put your surfing skills to the test, and the waves during the wet season lend themselves to beginners and experts alike. This Central American country, tucked between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, features more than just no-filter-required sunsets — various regions mean you can experience everything from lakes to volcanoes. Before you leave, make sure you see the city of Granada, which is rich in Spanish colonial history. While there, book a room at Tribal Hotel for boho-chic interiors and icy poolside drinks to help you beat the upper-80-degree weather. 

Go wine tasting in Napa Valley.

For a whole season of long, tipsy summer days, the Napa Valley region outside of San Francisco offers sunshine and foodie-approved meals. If you can make it in July, sip your way through Festival Napa Valley , which highlights a range of wineries offering their best blends. For a more playful afternoon, consider booking a luxurious tasting journey on the Napa Valley Wine Train .

Wine country’s own Auberge du Soleil has residential-style accommodations and an on-site French restaurant with outdoor dining, so you can sip local pours while taking in sweeping views of the verdant countryside. 

Pretend you're not a tourist in New York City.

Ask any New Yorker and they'll agree: Summer isn't exactly the best time to visit the Big Apple. Between the unforgiving heat trapped by skyscrapers and an influx of tourists from around the world, most locals find any excuse to escape the concrete jungle in the summertime. However, there's an upside: New York City has plenty of free outdoor festivals this time of year, including Shakespeare in the Park and SummerStage . Plus, with less competition from in-the-know residents in late summer, you'll have a better chance of snagging reservations at trendy restaurants. Seek out rooftop bars, munch on artisan bites in Brooklyn, or make a break for the Hamptons if you have the time — and patience (the heading-out-of-town traffic is no joke).

There’s no shortage of world-class accommodations in the city that never sleeps. Whether you prefer classic stays at places like The Plaza or The Carlyle , or hip hotels like the Arlo Hotel , Soho Grand Hotel , and the Pendry Manhattan West .

Visit Mexico during the low season.

Outside of hurricane season, which peaks in September, summer is one of the best times to visit Mexico for fewer crowds and lower prices. If you can put up with the 90-degree heat of July and August, and occasional rainy days, you'll likely find some great deals on all-inclusive resorts and flights. Check into one of the sleek all-inclusive resorts in Los Cabos , explore the rich arts and culture scene in Puerto Vallarta, or go on a wellness retreat in the Caribbean beach town of Tulum.

Go on safari in South Africa.

Jess Macdonald/Travel + Leisure

For many seasoned travelers, South Africa holds a special place in their passports (and hearts). Each corner of this country presents a different climate and experience, and a getaway during the dry season can be particularly enchanting. There's plenty to see and do, from spotting animals in Kruger National Park and hiking Table Mountain in Cape Town to seeing the cliffs at the Cape of Good Hope and sipping your way through the wine region of Franschhoek.

If you can swing it, try timing your vacation in September when you're more likely to spot elephants, leopards, and many other species as they search for watering holes. June through August is technically winter in South Africa — you'll want to pack sweaters instead of swimsuits for this summer vacation — so expect mild days with chilly nights. There are several amazing safari lodges, but we recommend andBeyond Ngala Safari Lodge inside Kruger National Park for an intimate, immersive Big Five wildlife experience.  

Hike the U.S. national parks.

Valerie de Leon/Travel + Leisure

The Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, and Haleakala in Hawaii — we could go on and on about the breathtaking landscapes and adventures that await in our nation's national parks, and summer is prime time for a visit. You're likely to enjoy sunny blue skies and starlit evenings, and you'll have plenty of time to disconnect from the digital realm and tune into the rhythms of nature. Some parks are free to visit, some are underwater, and all are unique. Camp out without sacrificing comfort at Under Canvas , which has locations with access to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Zion, and Acadia national parks, among others.

Traverse Europe by train.

From college students to retirees, many travelers place a European trip at the top of their list — and for good reason. Eating a croissant beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris, bicycling along the canals of Amsterdam, discovering historic castles in Ireland , and eating gelato while strolling past ancient Roman ruins in Italy are just a few of the incredible experiences that await in Europe. Grab a Eurail pass to hop between countries for a low price with minimal hassle.

See Florida from coast to coast.

The Sunshine State has it all — beaches, the Everglades , Key lime pie, the glamour and exclusivity of Palm Beach, the vibrant sizzle of Miami, and the tropical island vibe of the Florida Keys. Everyone should take time to explore Florida, from St. Augustine to Key West — home to the southernmost point in the continental U.S. — at least once in their lifetime. Of course, you'll want to hit the central city of Orlando for attractions like Walt Disney World, Epcot, and Universal Orlando. Plus, there are spectacular stays all across Florida, from seaside resorts to charming inns to all-inclusive idylls. 

Take a cruise.

It's hard not to have a good time on a cruise. Meals and drinks are typically included, your ship comes equipped with a wide range of activities, and you sail from port to port, hitting a multitude of new destinations while only having to unpack once. What more can you ask from a summer vacation? For an even more refined and intimate take on cruising, try a river cruise through Europe .

Travel through the Wild West.

Put on your pioneer pants and head out for an adventure in America's Wild West. With history, wide-open spaces, and cowboy lore from centuries past, you'll feel as free as it comes in places like Colorado or Nevada. And you can’t get more Western-chic than at Amangani in Wyoming near Grand Teton National Park .

Try driving an electric vehicle on the Nevada Electric Highway , which features EV charging stations, including Tesla Superchargers. The route's combination of Gold Rush ghost towns and tomorrow's technology makes it a road trip of the future and the past all at once.  

Drive the Pacific Coast Highway.

On the West Coast, State Route 1 — better known as the Pacific Coast Highway — runs along rugged cliffside terrain and expansive beaches, making it one of the most scenic drives in the country, if not the world. Plan your Pacific Coast Highway itinerary around the spectacular sunsets and plentiful photo ops. The summer weather will be beautiful, if toasty, with an average daily high in the upper 70s or 80s. Spend at least a couple nights in Big Sur at the Post Ranch Inn for classically California cool accommodations and sweeping Pacific views.

Not in the mood for a road trip? Tackle the Pacific Coast Highway by train on Amtrak's Coast Starlight route, which runs from Los Angeles to Seattle and hits spots like Santa Barbara, San Francisco, and Portland along the way.

Backpack in Southeast Asia.

Irjaliina Paavonpera/Travel + Leisure

You've seen the photos — now it's time to explore Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia yourself. Take a cooking class, go temple hopping, visit an ethical elephant sanctuary , and live it up — even on a budget. Prices for food, hotels, activities, and excursions are often much lower than in many other parts of the world. Those looking for luxury can also find high-end accommodations such as Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor in Cambodia, the Six Senses Con Dao in Vietnam, and Amanpuri in Thailand.  

Get Adventurous in New Zealand.

For those who prefer the snow to the shore, beat the heat and travel to New Zealand, which experiences winter from June to August. You’ll be happy for the 50- to 60-degree weather when the country’s epic hiking, climbing, and bungee jumping get your blood pumping. And make no mistake: You will be spending all of your time outside. New Zealand is renowned for its gorgeous landscapes, from beautiful beaches and the fjords of Milford Sound to the wonder of the  Waitomo Glowworm Caves and charming locations used in The Lord of the Rings . 

Sip rum swizzles in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Americans don’t need a passport to enjoy these three islands in the Caribbean. Whether you choose St. John, St. Croix, or St. Thomas (or hop between the three), you’ll find white sand, world-class snorkeling, and tropical surroundings in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Each has its own vibe. Go to St. John for a luxurious, private island-like atmosphere; St. Croix for the food ; and St. Thomas for the lively atmosphere of a tourist hot spot. Stay at a beachfront all-inclusive resort for a stress-free escape.

There are several rum distillers on the islands, so you can sip a locally sourced rum swizzle while you enjoy average summertime temperatures in the low 80s.

Golf in Scotland.

The U.K.'s northernmost nation is known for its gorgeous lochs, beautiful castles, and the windswept Highlands. From whisky distillery tours to walking the magnificent  West Highland Way to exploring the cosmopolitan centers of Glasgow and Edinburgh, there’s no shortage of things to do in Scotland . Plus, the sun doesn't set until around 10 p.m. in the Highlands in June and early July, so you'll have even more daylight for exploration.

But the real reason to take a summer vacation in Scotland is found on the green. This country is a golfer’s dream with more than 550 courses and a long legacy of seaside links. There are plenty of coastal spots for the ultimate summer game, like the Fairmont St. Andrews , where you'll have two courses to play and a chic room to return to at the end of the day. Pack your clubs, favorite golf shoes, and comfortable golf pants for great times on the green.

Snap your way through Japan. 

You might miss the spring cherry blossoms, but there are still plenty of beautiful places in Japan to photograph in the summertime. Pose in front of the country’s tallest peak in the Fuji Five Lakes area or capture Tokyo's frenetic energy at Shibuya Crossing. In Kyoto, you’ll get plenty of pictures of temples, shrines, and bamboo forests for your scrapbook. From enjoying white-sand beaches in Okinawa to seeing the wildflowers in Hokkaido's national parks, these are moments you'll want to remember.

Go island hopping in Greece.

Nothing says summer vacation like the Greek Islands. From sipping ouzo by the Aegean to snapping a few windmill pics for Instagram, this is the perfect Mediterranean getaway. Of course, you’ll have to deal with more crowds and hotter temperatures in July and August, but it’s a popular time to visit for a reason. More restaurants and bars are open and you’ll find more available ferry routes, opening up the entire archipelago for your summer vacation. Start in the Cyclades (where you'll find the famous islands of Mykonos and Santorini) before moving on to lesser-known Greek Islands like Antiparos, Symi, or Syros.

Disneyland hotel deals — plus kids Disney tickets as low as $50

(Photo by Sally French)

Planning a summer vacation to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure in Anaheim, California? Here's a deal to save on Disneyland hotels and theme park tickets.

Stays on certain nights that span four nights or longer at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, the Disneyland Hotel or The Villas at Disneyland Hotel are on sale for 25% off. The deal is valid for most nights between June 10 and Sept. 26, 2024.

The deal gets even sweeter if you're traveling on weekdays and want to visit the Disney theme parks. Disneyland's 2024 summer ticket deal means big discounts on 3-day, 1-park tickets for visits starting June 10 through Sept. 26, 2024. Under the deal, 3-day tickets start at $149 for children and $249 for adults. That breaks down to as little as $50 per child and $83 per adult.

The late summer is one of the best times to visit Disneyland . That's because Halloween Time, which is one of the most popular Disneyland events , kicks off on Aug. 23.

The catch? The discounted tickets are only for visits on Monday through Thursdays.

Up to 50% off cruises in the Arabian Gulf

The Celestyal Grand Dream Suite

Boutique cruise line operator Celestyal has launched new Arabian Gulf voyages — and they're ringing them in with a huge sale.

Though it's technically for bookings made during summer 2024, you don't have to scramble to actually take the trip. Here's the deal. Bookings made through Aug. 31, 2024 are on sale for up to 50% off. Eligible sailings run as far out as 2027, so you can really plan ahead. Certain trips might even net more than 50% savings once you take advantage of further deals, like putting more than two guests in a cabin.

For example, the seven-night “Desert Days” cruise, which departs from Doha starting in 2024 on Celestyal Journey, now starts at $609 per person (down from $1280 per person).

So what do the cruises actually entail? Itineraries var by sailing, but stops include Doha, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Bahrain, as well as hidden gems such as Sir Bani Yas Island, Fujairah, Muscat and Khasab. Ships are small, only accommodating up to about 1,000 passengers.

Kimpton The Forum Hotel (Charlottesville, Virginia): The Adventure With Us package includes valet parking, a picnic backpack filled with wine, a blanket, two sandwiches, bottled waters, chips and a map highlighting nearby hikes and picnic spots around town.

How to save money on summer vacation packages

Summer travel deals can save money, but you still have to get to the destination. Using an airline's companion ticket gets you there for a fraction of the cost.

The Southwest Companion Pass can be used an unlimited number of times, and you can change your companion up to three times per year.

Other airlines, like Alaska Airlines , Delta Air Lines and American Airlines , offer this benefit once per year through their credit cards. However, some credit cards require meeting spending requirements to earn the companion ticket.

Bonus points for travel purchases

When paying for your summer vacation package, use a credit card that offers bonus points on travel purchases.

While this won't save money on this reservation, you'll earn extra rewards toward your next vacation.

Compare flexible points options

Travelers often get the most value when transferring flexible points (like American Express Membership Points , Chase Ultimate Rewards ® or Citi ThankYou Points ) to airlines and hotels, but that isn't always the best option.

Compare the cost of an award reservation versus using your points like cash. Some cards, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card , offer high redemption values when booking travel through the bank's travel portal.

The 26 Best Places to Travel This Summer

Adventures in Banff? Serenity in Ojai? Châteaux of the Loire? We've got you covered.

So what will it be this year? Will you be spending three months flitting between seaside hotspots along the Mediterranean? Or will it be a European cultural grand tour? Maybe you'll revisit classic American destinations for old time's sake, or journey to the farthest reaches of Earth? From adventures in Jackson Hole and Banff, to wellness in Ojai and on Ischia, to the ultimate geo-tag brags of Fiji and the Galapagos, a T&C -curated guide, below, to 25 of the best destinations to consider for summer 2023.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Jackson Hole is a year-round playground for the rich and adventurous, but come summer, the list of things to do expands exponentially. Proximity to two national parks—Grand Teton and Yellowstone—means plenty of warm weather activities like hiking, paddle-boarding, kayaking, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, wildlife tours, biking, fishing, camping, you get the idea. Plus, the spectacular mountain scenery and perfect summer temperatures really can't be beat. Stay at the Amangani , whose in-house naturalists will lead private tours through the national parks.

Athens & Mykonos, Greece

Summer in Greece really needs no further explanation. There are so many places to visit, from the ancient wonders of Athens to the islands dotting the Aegean and Ionian Seas. For plush digs in the country's capital, book a room at the year-old xenodocheio Milos , the city's first-ever luxury boutique hotel, located near upscale Kolonaki. As for seaside havens, the Kalesma Mykonos is a paragon of serenity and zen on an island famous for its thumping party scene. A sleek design aesthetic also differentiates this 27-key hotel (12 suites, 13 villas, two grand villas) from its peers. Think Rick Owens furniture in the lobby, custom artwork in each room, and horsehair sconces in a nod to the Greek god Apollo, who was said to have kept his horses in the area. Oh, and best of all, 360-degree views.

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

With pleasant spring-like temperatures pretty much all year long, there really is no bad time to visit this charming, historic town. While summer is technically its rainy season, here's the silver lining: arid hills bloom into a rainbow panoply of wildflowers. Make the Rosewood San Miguel de Allende home base from which to explore the colorful UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel's 67 rooms and suites are a study in hacienda chic, with wood-beam ceilings, hand-carved artisan furniture, spacious terraces, and a palette of warm tones. With six restaurants, clay tennis courts, a spa, and activities from movie nights to lavender workshops, you'll find plenty to do.

Read Reviews Rosewood San Miguel de Allende

Mallorca, Spain

Ancient honey-hued stone cottages, fragrant olive trees, the cobalt blue of the Mediterranean. The charms of Mallorca, crown jewel of Spain's Balearic Islands, are innumerable. So are the picturesque villages to discover, from Valldemossa, where composer Frédéric Chopin famously found refuge, to artsy Deià, which helped British author Robert Graves escape the psychological ravages of World War I, to polished Palma, where the Spanish royal family has their summer residence. For your very own Mallorcan idyll, head to La Residencia , a Belmond Hotel snugly nestled between mountain and sea in Deià. In keeping with the town's creative spirit, the property features eccentric design touches throughout, plus more than 800 works by local artists. The activities list is equally inspired: art and sculpture classes are on offer, including the option to paint by the sea under morning's dreamy light.

Banff National Park, Canada

Stunning turquoise lakes fed by glaciers. Grand, snow-capped Rocky Mountains. Blankets of emerald-hued pine forests. Canada's oldest national park certain doesn't disappoint—it's a constant feast for the eyes (not to mention for mind, body, and soul). As far as lodging goes, the Fairmont Banff Springs , a 757-room Châteauesque grande dame that dates back to 1888, is in the center of all the action (and in the charming town of Banff) and near the main attractions, like Lake Moraine and Lake Louise, and the Upper Hot Springs. As for activity and sport, the list is endless: think horseback riding, tons of hiking, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, a Via Ferrata, ATV tours, and visiting the Columbia Icefield. For those who want to hit the links, the Fairmont has an 18-hole championship golf course—just imagine the views.

Montecito, California

Maybe leave the kids at home for this one. Arguably the most romantic hotel on the west coast, the 130-year-old San Ysidro Ranch has quite a storied history—Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier were married here, while Jackie and John F. Kennedy honeymooned at the resort. Just 38 standalone cottages—decorated with antiques and appointed with stone fireplaces, outdoor rain showers, deep soaking tubs, and private decks—are sprawled out over 500 acres of lush gardens and hiking trails lined with lavender, jasmine, orange blossoms, and eucalyptus. Need we say more?

Read Reviews San Ysidro Ranch

Watch Hill, Rhode Island

It's not hard to see why A-listers from Clark Gable to Taylor Swift have found refuge in Watch Hill. And for a classic New England vacation, the answer is always Ocean House . The grand hotel, constructed after the Civil War, epitomizes a bygone era when "summer" was popularized as a verb by members of the one percent. But that's not to say that this hotel is dated. The 154-year-old Ocean House masterfully toggles the line between respecting history and embracing modern comforts—all the windows are in their original position, for example, but the rooms have been whittled down from 159 to a much more spacious 67. Then add in 13 acres of prime oceanfront landscape, plus a private beach, tennis courts, a croquet lawn, and a shuffleboard court.

Read Reviews Ocean House

Zurich, Switzerland

Basel may be considered the art mecca of Switzerland but don't sleep on Zurich. After all, this is where the Dada movement was born. The city is brimming with more than 50 museums, more than 1,300 public installations by the likes of Augusto Giacometti and Niki de Saint Phalle, and hundreds of galleries, which annually host tours, events, lectures, and studio visits during the 3-day festival known as Zurich Art Weekend in June. What's more, British architect David Chipperfield recently completed an extension of the Kunsthaus, making it the largest art museum in Switzerland. The city is also the home of Pavillon Le Corbusier, the iconic architect's last finished work and now a museum dedicated to him. Even the hotels have architectural bragging rights: not too long ago La Réserve Eden au Lac underwent a restoration by Philippe Starck.

Read Reviews La Réserve Eden au Lac

Ojai, California

Ojai is famous for its New Age, woo woo vibes—and what's wrong with a heaping dose of positive energy (delivered via its seven spiritual vortexes)? A few years ago the Ojai Valley Inn completed a renovation of its renowned, award-winning Spa Ojai, upgrading all treatment rooms, public spaces, and even the two 1,500-square-foot penthouse suites. There are ample opportunities to continue the wellness journey elsewhere on the hotel's 200-acre property. The vast activities and classes list includes aromatherapy oil blending, beekeeping, spiritual counseling, crystal healing, and floral design. Or you could just laze about in one of the hotel's four pools all afternoon, then enjoy an alfresco dinner while admiring Ojai's iconic pink sunsets.

Read Reviews Ojai Valley Inn

Ischia, Italy

Skip uber-touristy Amalfi Coast for dreamy Ischia, an island that has long attracted a certain set of in-the-know jetsetters in search of peace, healing, and true barefoot luxury—Truman Capote chose the town of Forio for his self-imposed exile in the '50s, while Ischia provided the backdrop for scenes of la dolce vita in The Talented Mr. Ripley . Thanks to an abundance of natural thermal springs, a holiday here can be that perfect blend of wellness and Italian indulgence. Stay at the Mezzatore , a 16th-century terra-cotta jewel perched on the edge of the Gulf of Naples. The historic property began its life as a watchtower before seducing the Italian elite, including the legendary director Luchino Visconti, who owned a villa, La Colombaia, on the grounds. Along with sea views in most of its 56 rooms and restaurants that emphasize the freshest daily catch, its spa pools are fed by its own springs. Be sure to double up your daily soak with a treatment—the spa uses products by Santa Maria Novella and Biologique Recherche.

Read Reviews Mezzatore Hotel & Thermal Spa

Montego Bay, Jamaica

Sure, the Caribbean might be really hot this time of year, but does that really matter when you've got pools, beaches, bottomless rum cocktails, a languorous island pace, and fewer crowds? With 27 villas plus 36 rooms designed by Ralph Lauren, Round Hill makes for a chic and blissfully relaxing getaway. Spend your days swimming in the sea, bobbing in the infinity pool, sipping cocktails on the beach, luxuriating in a spa treatment or two, and indulging in delicious Jamaican cuisine. Want to incorporate a little activity? You can take a kayak out on the water, play tennis, or even partake in pickleball —in keeping with the trends of the one percent, the hotel created two new courts for the sport.

Read Reviews Round Hill Hotel & Villas

Mount Desert Island, Maine

Since the Gilded Age, this beautiful coastal region has provided refuge and respite for generations of American gentry. It's not hard to see the appeal: a slow and laidback pace of life, nature all around, heaps of fresh lobster to be enjoyed ad infinitum, and, of course, Acadia National Park, established in 1916 thanks in part to land donated by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (who also financed the construction of an extensive network of carriage roads throughout). For the intrepid, a hike up Cadillac Mountain just before dawn is bucket list-worthy—it's the first place in the U.S. to see the sunrise. And for a taste of how the Rockefellers, Morgans, and Astors used to holiday, book a room at the Claremont in Southwest Harbor. The property dates back to 1884 but worry not: a 2021 gut renovation gave it a modern refresh, complete with Very T&C design touches like Sister Parish wallpaper, Pierre Frey furnishings, and Frette linens.

Read Reviews The Claremont Hotel

Paris, France

Paris is always a good idea, especially in the summer when daylight seems to stretch on forever and temperatures are generally delightful. Plus, this is a city made for alfresco revelry: think picnicking along the Seine, brushing up on your French lit in one of its many pristine parks, people watching from sidewalk cafes, treasure hunting at the Marché aux Puces fleas. As for where to stay, you'll be spoiled for choice with all the magnificent grande dames in town. One of the latest to join the club: Cheval Blanc Paris , which opened last year in a historic Art Deco palace right on the river. Its location and views are phenomenal, but the biggest draw of the place might be that its parent company LVMH also revived OG department store La Samaritaine, on whose hallowed ground the hotel is located—because shopping in Paris, as everyone knows, is an obligatory sport, no matter the season.

Loire Valley, France

France's most popular summertime playground is obviously the Côte d'Azur, but the countryside is just as—if not more—alluring. Take the Loire Valley: under 3 hours from Paris yet seemingly worlds away, sprinkled with more than 300 historic châteaux built as far back as the 9th century and through the Renaissance, when artists, including Da Vinci, were commissioned to design these splendid residences for the French monarchy. Castles can certainly fill up an itinerary—don't miss Chambord, the largest, and Chenonceau (pictured), which was once owned by Catherine de' Medici–but that's not all this UNESCO-listed region has to offer. The valley is also the home of Sancerre, which is as indispensable to a French summer as rosé is to an American one. And where will you stay? In a place with royal roots, naturally. The 55-key Fleur de Loire , which opened last summer, is in a property that was once owned by King Louis XIII's brother. Expect several princely amenities, like a restaurant helmed by 2-Michelin-starred chef Christophe Hay, a Sisley spa, and wonderful gardens.

Read Reviews Fleur de Loire

The Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Galapagos enthusiasts are generally split into two camps when it comes to how best to experience the area's wildlife-strewn marvels—by sea or by land? For those in the former group, there is good news. Last May marked the inaugural expedition of the Aqua Mare , Aqua Expeditions' sleek teak- and mahogany-lined superyacht built specifically for the archipelago. There are just seven spacious suites on board, including an 861-square-foot Owner's Suite, plus a jacuzzi, movie room, library, BBQ area, and two naturalist guides. This may be about as close as you can get to cruising around the Galapagos like Logan Roy.

Hudson Valley, New York

For New Yorkers who prefer the bucolic charms of country life over the sandy scene of the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley is the perfect destination. Its quaint little towns, antique shops, and farm stands are an easy—and best of all, sans traffic—drive away. The region is upping its luxury game, too, thanks to the new Wildflower Farms , an Auberge Resort. Sixty-five cozy cabins dot the 140-acre property, which, true to its name, brim with orchards, gardens, and wildflower-strewn meadows. And as is an Auberge signature, there is plenty to do, from miles of hiking trails to explore to a cooking school where you can learn the art of pickling, preserving, and even making your own floral focaccia.

Read Reviews Wildflower Farms, an Auberge Resort

Hvar, Croatia

It’s time to upgrade your thinking about an island vacation. This summer, the Croatian isle of Hvar is poised to be a destination for travelers looking for a bit of culture (the Hvar Summer Festival has been a landmark for art and music for more than 60 years), some gorgeous scenery (the Lavender Festival, based around the 14th-century town of Velo Grablje, takes place in mid-July), or some serious wine (harvest season kicks off in August, and the Viticultural Museum, which charts wine culture on Hvar back to the 4th Century B.C., has been recently renovated). And, of course, there’s also the chance to just unwind. World-class hotels like the Palace Elisabeth —named for everyone’s favorite Austrian Empress —offer spa treatments and seaside dining, and the nearby Pakleni Islands, a destination for sunbathers and history buffs alike, are a short boat ride away.

Read Reviews Palace Elisabeth, Hvar Heritage Hotel

Vancouver Island, Canada

For glamping with a side of Canadian hospitality, head over to the 25-tent Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge on the edge of Clayoquot Sound, a pristine UNESCO-designated Biosphere Reserve nestled in the wilds of Vancouver Island. The Canadian Pacific Coast's "Big 5"—whales, bears, bald eagles, sea lions, and sea otters—are the star sightings here, with summer being especially promising for witnessing orcas, gray whales, and humpbacks. But even if you miss these colossal mammals, there are plenty nature pursuits to keep you entertained: hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, swimming in hidden glacier-fed watering holes, fly fishing in remote spots accessed only by helicopter, the list goes on.

Read Reviews Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge

Sicily, Italy

According to Greek mythology, the deadly serpentine giant Typhon is said to be buried under Mount Etna, banished there after losing an epic battle with Zeus. Perhaps this is why Etna is one of the world's most active volcanos. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is also a nourishing presence, its fertile soils making Sicily a verdant oasis for lemons and oranges, olives and honey, grapes and wine. Plus, it sets the tone for an Italian holiday that has it all: amazing food, ancient history, plenty of mountain-to-sea nature. As for where to stay, the Four Seasons's San Domenico Palace is an excellent Hollywood-worthy choice—surely you've seen The White Lotus ? — though the Mediterranean's largest island has many options. Villa Sant’Andrea , a Belmond Hotel set in a secluded bay in Taormina is a good base for activities like catching a show at the ancient Greek theater, or sailing to Aci Trezza to meet members of the Rodolico family, who have been building handcrafted boats since 1908.

With its silky soft beaches and crystal clear waters, Anguilla, a perennial T&C favorite, is the utmost in barefoot luxury. All this and more can be found at the Belmond Cap Juluca , well-situated in a secluded spot in Maundays Bay with 66 spacious, terrace-equipped rooms, 42 suites, an infinity pool, and much to do, from snorkeling, sailing, scuba diving, and exploring uninhabited islands, to croquet, volleyball, tennis, and golf. And it's all easier to get to: American Airlines now has direct routes to the island from Miami.

How to plan a holiday like a pro – 88 holiday planning tips

Welcome to our ultimate guide on how to plan a holiday, designed to give you all of the information you need to become a pro at booking holidays. As avid travellers, we’ve been booking 10+ trips per year for some time and have picked up lots of handy tips and tricks over the years. From saving money on your holiday to getting the best car hire and choosing a good travel insurance policy, you’ll soon have the knowledge you need to plan a holiday of your own.

Read on for 88 tips on how to plan a holiday like a pro.

Finding the perfect destination

1. Decide first and foremost whether you want a short city break, a traditional beach holiday, an adventure trip or a bit of everything. The type of trip you’re looking for will narrow down booking options and destinations right away. This is always the first step of your holiday planning journey.

2. How long are you allocating for your holiday? Do you have a set amount of time off work? The duration of the holiday will narrow down destination options. You wouldn’t want a long flight for a short trip. Equally, some destinations need more time to explore.

3. Once you’ve chosen the type of holiday you’d like, decide on a budget for the entire trip. How much are you willing to spend? This will narrow down your destination options further.

4. Take into account overall holiday planning costs when choosing a destination. Some destinations may be cheap to fly to and stay in, but eating out and activities might be expensive. On the other hand, flights might be expensive for another destination but super cheap living costs and hotels will more than make up for the high flight prices.

5. You won’t be able to fly to all destinations from your local airport. Keep convenience in mind when choosing a destination and opt for flying from an airport that’s easier to get to.

6. Where possible, avoid multiple flights and layovers to get to your destination, especially if you have to change plane 2 or more times. It can cause a lot of headaches.

7. A key consideration for how to plan a holiday is short haul versus long haul. Long haul destinations can sometimes be a better deal than short haul due to low costs in your destination. For example, flights to Thailand are more expensive than flying within Europe. However, once you arrive at your destination, hotels, eating out and attractions are very cheap.

8. Safe choices aren’t bad choices. Love a particular place but feel like you should try somewhere new? There’s no harm in visiting a destination you really enjoyed. We personally love to book holidays to new places, but also visit destinations we’ve been to many times.

9. On the other hand, try to be open minded about your destination. Thinking of visiting somewhere completely different to your usual holiday spot? Chances are you’ll enjoy it. If not, you explored a new place and can return to your favourite next year.

10. See what’s on in destinations before you book. Festivals, events and other big occasions happen across the globe every month and visiting during one of these events can make your trip even better. For example, April is a great time to visit Seville, Spain for their Easter parade and celebrations. Songkran is an amazing event to experience in Thailand. April-May is the best time to visit Madeira for its world-renown flower festival.

11. Watch Youtube videos of destinations you’re interested in. Watching a video of a place gives you a much better idea of it compared to browsing website photos and reading about it.

Checking entry requirements, passport and visa information

12. Check the UK government travel advice website here for all you need to know about entry requirements for a particular destination. If you’re in the US, this website is the go-to for government travel advice guide.

13. Look out for visa information. Do you get a visa on arrival at your destination or do you need to apply in advance? How long does it take to be approved? Visas also have specific durations. If you’re planning a longer holiday, check that your visa covers the entirety of your trip.

14. Ensure that you have at least 6 months validity on your passport before travelling. Some destinations won’t let you enter the country with a passport that expires soon. We recommend renewing your passport if you have 12-months before it expires.

15. Double check to see if any vaccinations or other safety precautions are needed for your destination. Immunisations are recommended if visiting at-risk areas. Visit the websites we linked to above and speak to your doctor for vaccination advice.

16. Does your destination require you to be vaccinated against Covid? Verify Covid entry requirements if your destination has restrictions. Many countries are dropping restrictions altogether so this will become less apparent as time goes by.

Booking flights and accommodation

17. Book in advance to save money, especially if travelling during peak times. For summer holiday planning, November – December the year before, or January of the same year is a great time to book.

18. Great deals can also be found for last-minute bookings, especially when travelling outside of peak periods. We often find great last minute deals between October and February. It’s easier to find a last-minute deal if you’re flexible on dates and are able to travel within 1-2 weeks of booking.

19. If you’re going on a holiday with one destination and hotel, compare package holidays versus booking flights and accommodation separately to find the best price. Follow our step-by-step guide here to find the best prices.

20. Consider booking a package holiday for ease and extra cover if anything goes wrong.

21. For extra freedom and the chance to stay in multiple hotels and areas, book your flights and accommodation separately.

22. What facilities are essential for you on holiday? Are you a swimming pool lover? Maybe you like a spa? Are you looking for an all-inclusive experience? Keep this in mind when booking and filter your hotel choices to include must-have facilities. You’ll narrow down your accommodation choice quickly.

23. Not sure about booking Half Board, All-Inclusive or Self Catering? In our experience, you can decide on this when you arrive at the hotel. The hotel sometimes has a special offer for upgrading your package when you check-in.

24. When it comes to any holiday planning, always look at hotel reviews on Tripadvisor or Google Maps before booking. Aim for any hotel with a rating of 4.5 stars+. Anything 3.5 stars or less is more likely to give you a poor holiday experience.

25. Once you’ve decided on a destination, flights and/or a hotel, compare different dates to find the best prices. We recommend using a comparison website such as Trivago or TripAdvisor to compare hotel prices for different dates. Skyscanner is the go-to search engine for finding the best flight prices. Simply select ‘month view’ instead of an exact date.

26. Are you someone that often likes to speak to a travel agent when researching how to plan your holiday? Book your holiday online instead of visiting a travel agent store. It’s almost always cheaper.

27. Search for promo codes, discounts and offers for your chosen booking site before going through the checkout. Popular airlines, hotel booking sites and package holiday travel agents often have money-off deals listed on promo code websites. Simply Google ‘*insert website name* promo code’ and review the top 5 or so results.

28. Sign up for a rewards credit card such as AMEX British Airways Avios or Amex Platinum to claim travel points and cashback on holiday bookings. Search for ‘travel credit cards’ in your country to find the best offers.

29. Do you want to do a lot of sightseeing or be near the main attractions in your destination? Location is very important, especially for city breaks. Research hotels in central areas and you’ll be able to walk to most attractions. On the other hand, if you prefer a more remote, secluded location, look for the opposite. Location is very important!

30. Travel outside of popular holidays to save money. Valentines, Easter, bank holidays, Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year are the most expensive times to travel. Other expensive times to travel are the entire months of July and August.

31. Email the hotel in advance if you’re celebrating a special occasion or just fancy your chances at a free upgrade. It’s not uncommon to get upgraded if you’re celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or another special event. At the least, you’ll probably get a free bottle of wine.

32. Consider paying the small extra cost for seat selection or extra leg-room seats on the plane. On the scale of your holiday costs, these are small fees that will help you have a comfortable start to your trip.

33. Some travel booking websites give you an extra discount for downloading and booking using their app. This can be as much as 10% off! This is a how to plan a holiday tip that’s often missed.

34. If possible, book a refundable hotel over non-refundable. If your plans change or you find a better deal, you can cancel the original booking without losing any money.

35. Look out for travel packages and hotels where you can pay later, either on the day or just before travel. This will give you longer to save money for your trip. Some package holiday booking sites offer a low deposit to secure your booking. The rest is then due 1-3 months before travel.

36. Do you prefer to book in-person at a travel agent store? If so, find a good deal online with the same travel company and ask them if they can price match it in-store.

37. Are you planning on a long stay (over 28 days)? Consider booking a long-stay apartment on Booking.com or Airbnb. It’s a lot cheaper than the hotel option and you’ll have your own facilities to make meals, plus a lot more relaxation space. Many accommodations offer big discounts for long stays.

38. If you’re arriving on an early flight, email the hotel in advance and ask if they can accommodate an early check-in. It never hurts to ask and there’ll be less waiting around on arrival.

Buying travel insurance

39. Always buy travel insurance as soon as you’ve booked your flights and accommodation. You’ll then have cover if anything changes and you need to cancel before your holiday. This is something that’s often missed when thinking of how to plan a holiday.

40. Do you go on a few or more holidays per year? Buying an annual insurance policy can save you money.

41. If visiting the USA or another country with high healthcare costs, be sure to buy a policy with high healthcare coverage value (5 million+).

42. Are you a UK or EU citizen travelling within Europe? Sign up for an International health card for free healthcare abroad.

43. Always be upfront to the insurance company if you have an underlying health condition. If you do and don’t declare it when buying a policy, you probably won’t be covered.

44. Compare the best travel insurance policies for your trip by using a comparison website such as Compare the Market .

45. Planning on doing an adventure activity, winter sports or going on a cruise? Make sure you declare this when buying your travel insurance policy. Check the policy wording to ensure that your activity is covered.

46. Travelling with a partner or your family? Consider a couple or group policy to save money compared to buying separate policies.

47. Is anyone in your group over 65? Be sure to set the correct date of birth when buying your policy. Insurance is usually a little more expensive for older age groups.

48. Get a policy with the lowest ‘compulsory excess’ charge you can find. Usually it’s only a few £/$ more to reduce the excess to a low amount. This is the amount you’ll pay in the event of a claim.

49. Do you travel long-term for over 30 days at a time? Consider long-term travel insurance or ‘backpacker’ cover. World Nomads is a top-rated provider for this type of insurance.

50. Buy a policy with ‘cancellation cover’ in the event that you might have to cancel your trip.

51. Check that your policy has ‘end supplier failure’ or ‘scheduled airline failure’ cover. This will protect you in the event your travel company goes bust.

Booking car hire

52. Always look at reviews for car hire companies in your destination before booking. Simply Google ‘car hire/rental in *insert destination*’, browsing the top-rated companies on Google Maps and reading reviews. The Tripadvisor travel forum is another great resource for finding reputable car hire.

53. In Europe, it’s often best to choose a local car hire company over a multi-national chain. Chain car hire is franchised and they almost always have poor reviews compare to local companies. In the US and Asia, well known brands (Sixt, Enterprise, etc) can be a good option. Always check the reviews, even if you recognise the brand. Not all locations of a multinational car hire company are up to the same standard.

54. Planning a holiday and want great car hire rates? Book online well in advance of arrival for the best prices, especially if travelling during busy periods.

55. Compare prices online. Look at both the official car hire company website for a quote, but also comparison sites such as Kayak or Holiday Autos. You can sometimes save money by booking through a third party.

56. Look for car hire discounts and promo codes for your chosen car hire company before booking. Simply Google ‘*insert car hire company name* promo code*’ and review the top 5 Google search results.

57. Check that full insurance is included with your car hire package. You always need insurance cover and it would be a bad decision to go without it. You’ll also avoid the hassle of being sold expensive insurance policies at the car pick-up desk.

58. Some car hire companies require an excess payment in the event of an accident, which can be as much as £/$1000. Whilst you can pay more to reduce or remove your excess liability, it’s almost always cheaper to buy a separate excess insurance policy online. Buy this insurance separate to your car hire to remove your excess liability. We recommend buying this through CarHireExcess.co.uk .

Getting to and from the airport

59. Make your ‘getting to the airport’ travel plans at least a week before so you feel organised and know what you’re doing.

60. Compare all airport transport options to find the most beneficial way to get there. Buses can be the cheapest, but if it takes hours, it can make your trip that little bit harder. Look at taxis, private transfers, Uber/Lyft, car parking, trains, buses and even seeing if a friend can drop you off.

61. If you’re planning on parking your car at the airport for the duration of your holiday, compare prices online on a comparison site such as Holiday Extras . They offer convenient on-airport options, but also off-airport cheaper parking. Book as far in advance as possible for the best prices. 2-3 months before you travel is ideal. Booking with the official airport you’re flying from is also a good option. Many airports offer discounts.

62. Unsure how to get to or from the airport in your destination? Rome 2 Rio is a great resource that shows journey times and costs for various methods of transport.

63. If you’re planning a package holiday, opt for the free coach transfer option to save money.

64. Plan to arrive at the airport at least 15-minutes before check in. This is usually 2 hours 15 minutes before your scheduled flight. That extra 15-minutes can help you skip the big queue of passengers that arrive to check in exactly 2 hours before.

65. Consider buying ‘skip-the-queue’ security fast pass / TSA approved tickets if you’re travelling during a busy time and the airport is expected to be busy. It’s often cheaper to buy them online in advance on the official airport website.

66. Buy plane and holiday snacks at the supermarket the day before you travel. Airport food is expensive and this can save you a lot of money. You’ll also have more choice.

67. Travelling during a busy period, have a long wait in the airport or want to indulge a little bit? Consider booking an airport lounge. Booking online in advance (as far in advance as possible) is often cheaper than paying on the day. You can also compare lounges, look at reviews and search for discounts and special offers.

Preparing to travel / packing

68. Pack as light as you can for easy unpacking and stress-free travel. If you don’t think you’ll wear an item, don’t pack it.

69. If you’re travelling with checked-in luggage, buy all toiletries such as sun cream, insect repellent, body lotion, etc, at home before you travel. You can compare prices between supermarkets and look online to find the best prices. Essential toiletries such as sun cream are almost always more expensive in your destination.

70. Don’t pack any electronic or fragile items in your checked-in suitcase. They should always go in your hand luggage.

71. Bring a USB cable and portable power bank with you. Some planes and airports have areas where you can charge your devices. Your handy power bank will keep you charged when charging facilities aren’t available.

72. Buy a set of compact travel luggage scales and weigh all luggage to check that it’s under the allocated weight. This will save you the hassle of re-packing at the airport. We personally use these luggage scales from Amazo n.

Planning and booking attractions and tours

73. When planning your holiday, write a list of the top things you want to see in your destination and group them together to form itinerary days. Seeing multiple sites that are close to each other will save you travel time.

74. Some excellent resources to find out the best things to do in your destination include:

• Tripadvisor’s ‘Top things to do list’, which is ranked based on attraction reviews.
• Google ‘things to do in *insert destination*’ and read the top travel blogs links. We’re a little biased, but travel blogs are a great way to read about your destination from other travellers.
• Search Youtube for video guides.
• Ask friends and family who already been to your destination.

75. In addition to the attractions you want to visit, research the best way to get there. Can you walk there from your hotel? Maybe you need to catch a bus or hire a car? Some attractions can only be seen with a tour guide.

76. Take the hassle out of seeing your destination by booking an organised tour. You’ll cover multiple attractions in one day and everything is organised for you.

77. Save an ‘offline’ Google Maps for your destination and add pins/save all of the attractions you’d like to visit. This will give you a good idea of where they are in relation to each other and where you’re staying.

78. Consider booking some attractions online before arrival. Theme parks, water parks, popular museums and other sought-after attractions often have limited spaces. Booking in advance secures your space and you’ll sometimes save money versus paying on the day.

79. Check the reviews for tour operators, attractions and other tourist activities before you go. This will give you a good idea of the best companies to choose and whether an attraction is worth visiting. It’s particularly important when doing a big activity such as scuba diving, rock climbing and paragliding. You want a reputable company that has a good safety record. Checking reviews is as easy as doing a Google search for the company name and viewing their Google Maps reviews.

Budgeting for your holiday

80. When planning your holiday, always have a budget for flights and accommodation, but also for spending money whilst you’re abroad. Although it’s fun to not worry about spending and just enjoy your holiday, ensuring you don’t overspend will put you in a good position financially when you return. Any savings can be spent on another holiday!

81. Consider whether you’d like to use physical local currency or pay for everything on credit card. Sometimes this will depend on your destination; is it a cash-only area that doesn’t really accept card? Do your research before arriving. Some people find it easier to track spending with cash; others prefer card.

82. Sign up for a travel credit card such as the Halifax Clarity. This will give you the best exchange rates and they don’t charge you fees for spending abroad. A credit card also comes in handy when keeping payment on file for your hotel room expenses, or for a car hire deposit.

83. Research restaurants and attractions in your destination to find out how much things cost before you arrive. Noting down the costs of key attractions you want to visit and looking at restaurant menus will give you an idea of a daily budget.

84. Similar to the above, researching and noting down a good collection of top-rated, affordable restaurants has two benefits. 1. You’re more likely to have a good meal. 2. You won’t get a surprise bill after visiting an unknowingly expensive restaurant.

85. Plan a rough daily spending budget and try to loosely stick to it. Some days you might spend more, others less. This way, you’ll have an idea of the total holiday cost before you get home.

86. Look for discounts online for attractions you want to visit. Museums, theme parks and other set-admission attractions often have online discounts, promo codes and offers when booking in advance.

87. Research public transport options for your holiday. These are almost always cheaper than taxis and car hire. With the right research, you’ll be able to navigate local metros, buses and trains without knowing the language.

88. Visiting a destination where you phone data plan won’t work or will be too costly to use? Research a good SIM network in your destination. You’ll then know exactly where to get it and what SIM to choose when you arrive in your destination.

That brings us to the end of our guide on how to plan a holiday like a pro. We hope you found our holiday planning tips useful and can now use them to book your own adventure.

An adventurer at heart that loves anything outdoors. Beaches, mountains and amazing scenery is everything I love about travel! I also enjoy home comforts and need a nice place to relax and re-charge after every trip.

My family and I are going on a trip to South Coast next month, so I need to find a holiday house for us to book for our stay. I’m thankful you told us to consider the facilities that are essential for our trip to help us narrow down our accommodation options quickly. I’ll be sure to do as you said once I’ve found holiday accommodations to consider.

Norway is a stunningly beautiful country. This tour included fabulous locations, stunning scenery along the way, well positioned accommodation. Loved travelling by train which was a great way to see the countryside. The overnight cruise from Ålesund to Bergen on Hurtigruten was a lovely relaxing experience. The fjord trips were magical! Memories of one of our best holidays to date will stay with us for a long time and no doubt we will want to visit Norway again. We will certainly consider Nordic Visitor for this and other potential holidays in the future.

Likewise, the excursions offered, especially the Rib Safari were fantastic and gave us memories we'll cherish forever.

For each destination, the best things to do are highlighted as well as what kind of summer weather you can expect in June, July, August and September.

Boulder, Colorado

By Amber from Amber Everywhere

Nestled at the edge of the Rocky Mountains is the small city of Boulder, Colorado, a perfect place to spend an adventurous weekend summer retreat in the US. Boulder attracts outdoor enthusiasts from around the world, offering the chance to hike, rock climb, cycle, and even float down the Boulder Creek in an inner tube. 

Summertime is peak tourist season in Boulder, with plenty to do for independent travelers, couples, and families.

Don’t miss the Boulder Farmers Market that takes place every Saturday, where you can find local produce, food vendors, and other types of artisans. 

No visit to Boulder is complete without a stroll up and down Pearl Street, the central pedestrian mall in the city. Make sure to check out the Piece, Love and Chocolate and Liberty Puzzles. For a quick bite, try Mountain Sun, a local brewery with great burgers and hand painted murals in the dining room. 

You’ll also want to be sure to squeeze in at least a few hikes while you’re in Boulder. For an accessible starting hike, head to Chautauqua, the park at the base of the Flatirons, and roam the wide open trails.

The more moderate trail to Royal Arch is perfect for anyone with some hiking experience who’d like to stay close to Boulder. As the name suggests, the top of Royal Arch is a rock formation that overlooks the city of Boulder and the Colorado Plains.  

If you have time, or if you’d prefer something a bit more adventurous, try the Fourth of July Trail, which features alpine vistas in the Rocky Mountains. You’ll need to drive to the trailhead, and you’ll want to set off early because it’s important to summit before any afternoon thunderstorms may set in. 

Colorado has characteristically dry summer weather, with daytime highs in the high 80s/low 90s. At night, the temperature tends to drop into the 50s F.

Rainy days are uncommon (expect 4-6 days per month in the summer), but you may see summertime showers in the early afternoon. These bursts of rain are usually short lived, but can be dangerous if you’re hiking above tree line. 

Best Way To Reach Destination

Boulder is an easy 45 minute drive from Denver International Airport, or you can take the bus if you’d prefer.

Accommodation

Amber says, “Choose a hotel near Pearl Street , the home of most of the action in Boulder. The Hotel Boulderado is always a great hotel option in Boulder. Its’ historical charm and central location make it perfect for a weekend trip.”

Malibu, California

By Catrina from 24 Hours Layover

Located along the Pacific Coast Highway in California, Malibu is a lovely coastal city on the west coast of the USA and makes for the ideal weekend getaway in summer. There are many things to do in Malibu, and with the beach and mountains so close, it has the best of both worlds and something for everyone.

Head up to The Malibu Hills for fantastic hikes and glorious views overlooking the city, ocean and mountains. When you’re ready to relax, hit up a vineyard or visit one of the many beautiful beaches.

Malibu has some of the best beaches in California, including Zuma Beach and El Matador Beach – a small and secluded beach known for its stunning rock formations. For a lesser known spot, head to the Leo Carrillo Sea Cave, one of the  best photo spots in Malibu .

Visit Malibu Lagoon Beach and Malibu Pier at sunset – you definitely don’t want to miss that. All of the beaches in Malibu are great for surfing and swimming too.

If it’s mountain views you’re after, set off for the Malibu Hills and visit Malibu Creek State Park. Go for a swim in the rock pools and check out the stunning views of the Santa Monica Mountains. Nearby Malibu Lake and Solstice Canyon are also a must visit and the views are spectacular.

Afterwards go for a wine tasting session at one of the vineyards. Malibu is home to several wineries that offer tastings, with Malibu Family Wines being a popular one.

Malibu is also home to several summer festivals such as the Malibu Fine Arts Festival and the Malibu Annual Summer Block Party. This is a free event with DJs, face painting and caricature drawing which would be fun for the whole family.

The weather in Malibu is perfect in the summer, with average highs of 75°F (but consistent ocean breezes so it never feels too hot) and no rain. It is almost guaranteed great weather!

Malibu is located 30 miles (48km) west of Los Angeles and is incredibly convenient to get to. Fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and drive to Malibu from LAX (which should take just under an hour and is the most convenient way), or take 2 buses (which will take under 2 hours).

Catrina says, “For accommodation, stay in Malibu Beach Inn . Located right on the ocean strip nicknamed ‘Billionaires Beach’ next to Malibu Pier, this is a wonderful place to spend a summer getaway.”

Boston, Massachusetts

By Ella from Many More Maps

If you’re looking to spend a summer long weekend on the east coast of the USA checking out some of the country’s best historical attractions, look no further than Boston .

The city of Boston, Massachusetts is the perfect destination for a summer city break. In summer, the dreary weather the city is famous for is long gone, and you’ll instead get to enjoy long, sunny days. That means more time for sightseeing, and relaxing in Boston Common, the city’s prettiest park.

Obviously, though, you aren’t going to visit Boston just to sit in the park. Instead, kick off your weekend Boston itinerary by walking the Freedom Trail. This 2.5 mile walking route takes you to the city’s most important historical landmarks, including Paul Revere’s House, the USS Constitution and the Bunker Hill Monument. 

As well as the historical attractions, there are plenty of foodie attractions in Boston. From lobster rolls at the world-famous Quincy Market to heaping plates of pasta in Boston’s North End, a weekend getaway in Boston is all about sampling as much of the city’s wonderful cuisine as you can.

Temperatures in Boston in summer reach average highs of 82°F and average lows of 59°F with around 7 days of rain per month.

Boston has its own airport, Boston Logan International. It’s easy to reach the city centre by taking the airport’s free shuttle bus to the airport’s very own subway station. From there, catch the Blue Line into the city. 

Ella says, “The best place to stay in Boston is Moxy Boston Downtown , which has a perfect location within walking distance to all of the city’s main attractions. If you’re a budget traveller, check out the top-rated HI Boston Hostel near Boston Common.”

Seattle, Washington

By Elaina from Mind Over Matter Travel

Seattle is one of the best city getaways in summer on the west coast of America. With its mild climate, stunning natural beauty, and plethora of activities, it’s no wonder people flock to this city in the warmer months. Comfortable weather gives the perfect opportunity to explore Seattle’s cityscape along with the water and mountains that surround it. 

Whether it’s taking a walk along the waterfront, checking out the city’s renowned music and art scene, or relaxing in one of Seattle’s many parks, there’s something for everyone in the city. Whatever you do, don’t miss out on three of the city’s most famous attractions.

Firstly, the Space Needle is the major icon of Seattle and offers the best views of the city from its observation deck. 

Secondly, the Museum of Pop Culture is home to the world’s most immersive pop culture experiences and ranks as one of the best places to visit in Washington .

Lastly, Pike Place Market is considered by many to be the soul of Seattle and is the city’s largest market of small, independent businesses. You can lose yourself for hours in the stalls looking at beautiful handicrafts or eating delicious cuisine locally sourced.

In addition to the city attractions, visitors will likely encounter exciting events like outdoor concerts or festivals in the summer months. If you time your trip right, you may even catch one of Seattle’s famous events like the Capitol Hill Block Party, PrideFest, and Seafair!

Summer offers relief from Seattle’s typical cold, rainy weather. Instead, summer temperatures average between 57 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, and it only rains a few days per month.

Home to one of the west coast’s best connected international airports, Seattle is easily accessible from many cities across the U.S. The airport is also well-situated so visitors travel less than twenty minutes by car to major city attractions. 

Elaina says, “For visitors wanting to explore the major sights of Seattle, the two best areas to stay are Downtown Seattle (near Pike Place Market and the waterfront) or Lower Queen Anne (near the Space Needle and Museum of Pop Culture). Either neighborhood will give several accommodation options ranging from the Holiday Inn to the Four Seasons .”

Chincoteague, Virginia

By Megan from Virginia Travel Tips

Chincoteague Island is a perfect summer getaway: peaceful, relaxing, and fun. Located on the coast of Virginia close to the Maryland border,  Chincoteague  feels far away when you’re there, but is easily accessible to a number of airports.

Gorgeous beaches and acres of wildlife refuges invite one to relax, stroll, and enjoy the slow life. There are tons of trails that circle the island giving you ample room to hike and bike. If you don’t have a bike, you can rent one in town for your stay.

Check out the stunning white and red Assateague Lighthouse, which has great views from the top. Make sure to spend some time at the beautiful beach, relaxing in the sand, splashing in the water, and enjoying gorgeous sunrises and sunsets .

Lastly, don’t miss out on the opportunity to kayak around the island. You’ll get a chance to spot what Chincoteague is most famous for – its ponies! Wild ponies wander the islands of Chincoteague and Assateague, and you can see them on a boat or kayak tour.

If you’re there in late July, don’t miss the Chincoteague Pony Swim. This event, held on the last Wednesday in July, sees the ponies swim the Assateague Channel, and has exciting festivities all week long.

Summer temperatures on Chincoteague are pleasantly in the mid-80s for highs and high 60s for lows. However, be prepared for it to be muggy.

To get to Chincoteague Island, you’ll need to fly into an airport, rent a car, and drive. The closest airport is Salisbury, Maryland about 30 miles away and Norfolk International Airport is 100 miles. Bigger airports within a few hours’ drive include Washington Reagan and Baltimore.

Megan says, “There are lots of hotels, B&Bs, and rental cabins on Chincoteague, but camping is also a popular accommodation choice. Several campgrounds border the beach, so you can wake up to the ponies and a beautiful sunrise.”

The Taste of Chicago is a large outdoor event where restaurants from all over the city set up tents in designated areas and give samples of their menu items. Lollapalooza is a crazy outdoor music festival featuring numerous well known and up and coming artists on various stages all day and evening long.

Summer temperatures range from 72 ° F  –  84 °  F with about 3.3″ of rain per month. You can expect around half of July and August to be humid, but only a few muggy days in each of June and September.

As for logistics, the airports in Chicago are O’Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Both are connected to public transportation. Getting to downtown Chicago from either airport takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

By Alyssa from An Apple a Plane

Shenandoah National Park is located on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Northern Virginia. It is a perfect summer east coast weekend trip in America due to its close proximity to two international airports, scenic views, and treasured hiking adventures for all ages.  

Drive from the airport to Skyline Drive. This is the one narrow, winding, road that leads you through the entire National Park. The entire scenic drive is an experience in and of itself and one that you should leave enough time for stops at the beautiful outlooks. Most hiking trails are also accessed from this road.

Old Rag is the most popular and iconic hike at the park. Visitors tend to begin the hike early in order to have ample time to complete it. 

Permits are now required to hike this trail in order to protect the environment. You can purchase them online in advance through the National Park Service. Be sure to plan accordingly as limited passes are available per day.  

Other popular hikes include Mary’s Rock and Limberlost.  

Temperatures range from an average high of 87 Degrees F and to an evening low of 56 degrees F. There is around 3″ of rain each summer month with about 10-15 days of humidity each month.

Most visitors fly into Dulles International Airport or Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, DC . Both airports are less than a two hour drive to Shenandoah National Park. You should rent a car because it is quick and provides the most flexibility.

Alyssa says, “Summer, without a doubt, is high season at Shenandoah National Park so be sure to make advance reservations. Consider a cozy, rustic stay at Lewis Mountain Cabins or Big Meadow Lodge both located off Skyline Drive.”

Cannon Beach, Oregon

By Jessica from The Uprooted Traveler

Cannon Beach, a charming coastal town located along the northern Oregon Coast, perfectly combines adventure and relaxation for your next short summer trip on the west coast of the United States.

Despite its small size, there’s tons of things to do in Cannon Beach . For example, on the beach itself, you can watch for tufted puffins on its famed sea stack, Haystack Rock or explore colorful sea life in its tide pools. In the evening, you can have a campfire, right in the sand.

For a real showstopper, try to schedule your visit to the beach at sunset. You get to watch as the sun sinks beneath the Pacific Ocean and turns the sky jaw-dropping colors. 

There’s also plenty of incredible parks nearby, with endless hiking trails to be explored. For example, the nearby Ecola State Park has trails leading through coastal forests to secluded beaches. Oswald West State Park has hikes that overlook Short Sands Beach, renowned as one of the best beaches in the state for surfing.

Finally, be sure to carve out time to stroll around the charming downtown, with coastal cottages that house ice cream parlors, eclectic boutiques, and old-fashioned candy shops.

Cannon Beach is always bustling in the summertime, but one of the best times to visit is during its quirky Sandcastle Contest in early June. Closing in on its sixth decade, this annual contest brings together amateur and professional artists alike. They create beautiful pieces of art out of the sand and other materials found along the beach. 

While Cannon Beach is lovely in the summer, it’s unlikely you’ll really run into bikini weather, even then. Daily highs are typically in the high 60s, with a handful of rainy days scattered throughout the summer months. So be sure to pack along some warm layers, especially to wear at night and in the early mornings.

To get to Cannon Beach, fly into Portland and make the hour and 40 minute drive northwest to the city. While it’s possible to get to Cannon Beach by public transit, your best bet will be renting a car, given that the town’s attractions are spread out along the coastline.

Jessica says, “If you want to be close to the action, book your stay at the Hallmark Resort and Spa . There’s plenty of perks, like fresh-baked cookies at check-in and complimentary beach-cruiser rentals. In addition, it directly overlooks (and is actually the closest hotel to!) the iconic Haystack Rock.”

Asheville, North Carolina

By Alanna from Periodic Adventures

Asheville, North Carolina  is the perfect hidden gem in the Southern USA for a few days away in summer if you love nature, great food, craft breweries, and a little history.

In summertime, Asheville is brimming with activity. Each Friday, there is a local drum circle in Pritchard Park that’s free to attend. It’s a great introduction to this wonderfully weird city.

The best thing to do in Asheville is visit the Biltmore Estate, the largest home in America. It was owned by the Vanderbilts and is an all-day affair.

Finally, Asheville is home to over 70+ local breweries so be sure to try a flight (or two). Some popular options include Hi-Wire, Wicked Weed, Green Man, and Eurisko. As an alternative to a beer flight, you can also try a pie flight at Baked Pie Company, perfect for those who prefer dessert!

While temperatures are warmest in the summer with averages in the mid-80s, there is around 9 days each month of rain (around 3.5″ each month) from June through August. There will also be lots of humidity in July and August.

This mountain town is located within a two-hour drive from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in North Carolina.

Third, head to Balboa Park, home to many museums. This includes The San Diego Zoo, Air & Space Museum, Natural History Museum, Museum of Art and The Automotive Museum, just to name a few!

Summer temperatures in San Diego are also why it’s the best place for a weekend jaunt in the summer. Average temperatures range between the 60s and 70s in Fahrenheit with little to no chance of rain.

The closest international airport is San Diego International Airport. Its central location in the city makes it easy for travellers to land and start exploring on the same day.
