Where to Travel in July

The best place to travel in January depends on your wanderlust: if you’re in search of sun, conditions are excellent in the southern hemisphere, but to witness the aurora borealis, head northwards.   

We may be nearing the final months of dreary weather before spring hits, but it is still very much winter in Finland perfect for catching the Northern Lights. New Zealand is also one of the best places to travel to in February, thanks to its dry, warm weather which is ideal for trekking.  

March is an optimal time to visit the Middle East before the summer heat sets in. While further east, the hot and sunny weather in Vietnam makes it one of the best places to travel in March.  

Spending time in Japan to see the cherry blossom makes it one of the best places to travel in early April. It’s also when Everest treks are in full flow and Jordan isn’t too hot for hiking and biking.  

May is a great month to visit Europe before the crowds arrive during the peak summer months. Or head to South America for the start of the trekking season in Peru. 

The Arctic is the best place to travel in June, with perpetual daylight and the chance to see polar bears. Elsewhere, temperatures are rising across Europe, making an early summer getaway appealing. 

With the Masai Mara migration season in full swing, it’s arguably one of the best places to travel to in August, but with summer festivals in Croatia and great game viewing opportunities on boat safaris in Brazil, you have plenty of choice on where to go this month.  

For those who don’t like crowds, Europe is the best place to travel in September when it’s still warm but much quieter. Elsewhere, Canada is enticing, and things are warming up in South Africa. 

While Madagascar is one of the best places to travel in October to see baby ring-tailed lemurs, it’s also a terrific month to head to Albania or witness the beautiful autumn colours in South Korea. 

Mexico is the best place to travel in November if you want to get swept up in the Day of the Dead festivities. You can also savour the last of Europe’s fine weather or head to South America for the start of its summer.  

For a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime adventure, the best place to travel in December has got to be Antarctica. But if you’re eyeing warmer climes, the Middle East is an excellent option in December.
