Summer means no more classes, no more exams and lots of time to travel! We believe that you deserve a nice little getaway this summer, so we’re bringing the best summer destinations to you. Spend less time planning and more time travelling! So here are our top 10 destinations to visit this summer!
A MIX OF EUROPE – Barcelona, Spain
Can’t decide on a European city to travel to? We’re thinking about Barcelona. Want rich history? Check. Fabled architecture? Check. Beautiful beaches? Check. And most importantly, a vibrant food scene? MMMM! The tapas! CHECK! Barcelona…it might just be the melting pot of all the Europe you want to experience.
TURQUOISE – Banff, Canada
Is turquoise your favorite colour? Then Banff might also be your favourite destination! Up your photography game because Lake Louise is arguably one of the most picturesque places in the world. Immerse yourself in the pristine essence of the lake by boarding on a canoe or a gondola ride depending on your feel.
CLAIM YOUR THRONE – Dubrovnik, Croatia
It’s no surprise that Dubrovnik made it to our list of top destinations this summer. Thousands of Game of Thrones fans fled to Dubrovnik right after the series finale in April. Fans are keen to live the fictional iconic capital of King’s Landing in real life, which was based on Old Town Dubrovnik. Even if you know nothing (Jon Snow!) about the series, you will still be amazed by the spectacular preservation of its medieval architecture.
CLASH OF THE PAST AND THE PRESENT – Taipei, Taiwan
Taipei is the bustling capital city of Taiwan ran by technologically advanced metropolitan systems embroidered in its deep cultural roots. Dive into a whirlwind of neon lights, temples and night markets. Experience the charm and beauty of the mixture of upscale malls and traditional markets, modern-day engineered architectures like Taipei 101 and historical sites of worship, and the juxtaposition of the swarming city life and relaxed countryside too.
GO LOKO – Los Cabos, Baja California, Mexico
If swimming, eating, drinking, and partying 24/7 is what you are looking for as your summer getaway, then keep reading. Take your lover (or friends) and dive into Playa del Amor. Indulge yourself in fresh seafood and authentic Mexican cuisine. Grab your salt and lime because it’s time for your hourly tequila shot. Lastly, dance the night away by party hopping to several clubs and party scenes in the area, but watch out, you might find yourself partying with a celebrity in Cabo.
MEET ME IN THE MIDDLE – Azores Islands, Portugal
Looking for a serene destination to escape from the bustling and chaotic life of the city? How about an archipelago in the middle of the ocean? And no, it’s not Hawaii. The Azores Islands, located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, serves as a state of tranquility especially for those seeking to unpack and unwind after a wild semester. Engulf yourself in fresh air, majestic beaches, and enchanting wildlife in Azores.
RAIN? SEE YA LATER – Seattle, Washington
Say “See Ya Later” to the unpredictable weather of the UK and jet off to the West Coast of the United States. Nope, not Los Angeles, not San Francisco, but Seattle! Take a sip of coffee from the first Starbucks store, stick your gum on the gum wall and explore. It’s not all just city adventures, Seattle is also home to kayaking, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
HAVANA OOH NA NA – Havana, Cuba
Venture out to its cobbled plazas, bohemian bars, brimming churches, and avante-garde art and see the revived spirit of Havana for yourself. Fall in love with its dumbfounding and alluring architecture and nature. In Havana, you’ll find yourself immersed in a plethora of culture, music, food, and festivals.
THE SOUL SISTER – Osaka, Japan
Did you know that Osaka was once the capital of Japan? Even if it’s no longer the capital, Osaka still holds on to the legendary legacy it once had. Venture through its gastronomic food sites and multitude of shopping centers and discover Japan’s technological advancements (smart toilets!). In Osaka, you can still experience the Japanese adventure you once dreamt of in Tokyo, but more on a budget. After all, Osaka is the soul of Japan.
A NATURAL WONDER – El Nido, Palawan, Philippines
One word: hidden. Island hopping is one of the most popular excursions in El Nido. Embark on a kayaking journey and discover the hidden islands and beaches it has to offer to all those who visit. Adventures await you in El Nido, the power gem of the Philippines.
