Best Destinations in July

Top 10 Theme Parks in the USA
The month of July is certainly one of the busiest months of the calendar year and with school summer holidays taking place in much of the Northern Hemisphere, you can expect places such as Europe, Canada and the US to be at their busiest.

In the United States, family-friendly destinations such as Orlando Florida and San Diego in California are traditionally popular holiday getaways for families with kids looking to enjoy attractions such as SeaWorld and DisneyWorld.

If you're looking to get away with the family this summer without breaking the bank, Cape Cod in Massachusetts is a great family destination where you can also enjoy theme park-type attractions.

In Europe, you get a similar picture in terms of busy attractions and tourist destinations such as Nice France, Bulgaria, France, Germany and Denmark can get really crowded.

If you are looking to get away with the family this summer and want to avoid the busy US and European summer season, Australia and New Zealand are two of the best destinations in July.

For one, Australia and New Zealand are in the southern hemisphere, which means that their summer months fall between December and February.

Second, you get fewer crowds to enjoy the attractions, cheaper airfare and cheaper hotel accommodation to choose from.

As follows, I’ve put together a few destinations worth considering to getaway around the world this July. They include:

Best Vacations Spots in May

Are you planning to get away this spring and are looking for some of the best vacations spots in May in the US and Europe?


Before I share with you some of the best vacation spots in May, let me tell you why I think early spring might not be the most ideal time to travel to the USA and Europe for romantic couples and families.

If you were to consider a Spring Break Vacation in the US and Europe in either March or April, you’ll find primarily Spring Break college crowds on popular vacation spots in the USA and popular vacation spots in Europe, and because of this, vacation rentals, airfare and hotel accommodation sky rocket.

In the month of April also, there is the Easter Holidays to think about, which means more crowds and busier attractions.


If you want an inexpensive vacation and a pleasant one (weather-wise), the month of May offers the best compromise, as weather is pleasant in continental Europe, as well as in most locations across the US.

Plus, you’ll get much better international airfare and accommodation deals than if you were to travel in early spring or early summer.

Best Vacations Spots in May: Europe

If you are looking to get away to Europe from the US, May is the best month of the spring season to get away in Europe for couples and single travelers:

Advantages

- Shoulder month. Because it’s the last month of spring before the summer holidays, May is a Shoulder month so budget carriers offer very cheap international flights, and hotel resorts offer very good deals to entice travelers.

- Fewer crowds. During May month, you get fewer crowds from both tourists and locals. Summer time in Europe kick-starts in June, and tourists’ crowds are not as big as in July or August.

- Weather. This one of the main reasons traveling to Europe in May, as weather in late spring is great for a beach holiday, without the crowds.

Also, temperatures in the cities are still pleasant, unlike summer time, when walking tours can’t be uncomfortable.

Best Vacations Spots in May: Suggested Destinations

* Czech Republic: Prague

* Romania: Bucharest

* Germany: Hamburg

* Turkey: Istanbul and Aegean Coast

* Belgium: Bruges

* Ireland: Dublin

Best Vacations Spots in May: United States

As mentioned earlier, one of the advantages of traveling to the US in May is that you’ll avoid Spring Break and Easter Holidays crowds and expensive airfare and accommodation. Much of the southeast of the United States offers great opportunities for a wonderful vacation all year around.

If you are planning to explore the north of the US, the month of May is the perfect time to do this, as the north region begins to warm-up offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

If you are an outdoor enthusiast, the northwest of the US is, actually, one of the best regions for enjoying outdoor activities such as camping, hiking, fishing and boating.

Best Vacations Spots in May: Suggested Destinations

* California: Santa Rosa

* Oklahoma: Oklahoma City

* Arizona: Tucson

* Washington State: Vancouver

* Massachusetts: Cape Cod

* Pennsylvania: Erie

* Tennessee: Great Smoky Mountains


* North Carolina: Wilmington 

Best Vacations Spots in May: Helpful Tips

1. If you are planning a trip to Europe from the US, I would suggest considering a lay-over flight in London in England first.

The reason is that direct flights from the US to anywhere in Europe are more expensive, and if you don’t mind flights that include a lay-over, you can get a much better deal.

2. Book your flight time as early or as late as possible and, if possible, book your flight on Wednesday rather than the weekend.

3. If you haven’t got much time to look online for travel deals, it’s a good idea to visit your local travel agent, as they’d be able to help you out find the best deals out there.

4. If you’re flexible with your flying dates, look into booking a chartered flight rather than an scheduled flight.

5. Finally, if you do visit your local travel agent, do inquiry about consolidator tickets, as you can save as much as 70% when purchasing your flights through a consolidator company.

Looking for ideas and suggestions on best destinations in February?

If you've already had a look at warm winter destinations in the US but fancy a trip abroad, consider then, heading to the Southern Hemisphere.

The thing to remember about the Southern Hemisphere (i.e. Australia and Peru) and the Northern Hemisphere (i.e.North America, Europe, China and Japan) is that seasons are inverted so, you'll be vacationing during their low season which means cheaper airfare, fewer crowds and affordable hotel accommodation.

Below, I have for you some of the best destinations in February in the Southern Hemisphere to enjoy a great vacation.

Costa Rica

Tourist Sites in Costa Rica
Top of my list is Costa Rica, one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, especially amongst adventure travelers.


Costa Rica offers great opportunities for fun adventurous activities like canopy tours and jungle treks through the jungle, especially during the dry season, which makes Costa Rica one of the best destinations in February to head to.

If you've ever wanted to enjoy a vacation in Costa Rica vacation, February is truly one of the best times to explore this beautiful country.

A trip to Costa Rica, not only makes for a great honeymoon destination, but it is also a great eco-tourist destination.

In fact, most of the tours in Costa Rica are nature-oriented tours that involve exploring the beautiful rain forest, but you can also take volcano treks and enjoy the ever popular canopy tour.

Apart from nature tours, if you love water sports, the month of February is also a great time to travel to Costa Rica for surfing as coast enjoys strong winds and higher tides this time of the year.

Australia

Best places for hiking in South Australia
Known as the country 'down under', there is no doubt that Australia is one of the best destinations in February in the Southern Hemisphere.

Australia's beautiful beaches are plentiful and amazing, and the coolest thing is that Australia also offers plenty of opportunities for fun and adventurous activities like trekking the Australian outback, or enjoying scuba diving trips.

New Zealand

A general misconception about New Zealand is that it is the same country as Australia.

There are certainly similarities between the two countries, but New Zealand retains many unique cultural differences and traditions that sets it apart from Australia such as the Maori culture.
