Summer Travel

Summer is the perfect time to pack your bags and hit the road for some well-deserved vacation time. With the warm weather and long days, there are so many amazing destinations to choose from.

Whether you’re looking for a relaxing getaway to an exotic beach, an action-packed adventure in the jungle, or a cultural immersion experience, there’s something waiting for you. And it is never too late or too soon to start planning your next vacation.

🏖️ The Beach

One of the most popular summer holiday destinations is the beach. Places like Hawaii, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean offer beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, and plenty of sun. These locations are perfect for travellers soaking up the sun, or trying their hand at water sports like snorkelling, diving, or surfing.

⛰️ The Mountains

Another popular summer destination is the mountains. For the ones trying to escape the heat, the Swiss Alps, Rockies, and Andes are a summer paradise.  Spectacular landscapes, challenging hiking routes and refreshing temperatures, make these holiday places ideal for outdoor enthusiasts.

🏛️ City Exploration

For those looking for a more urban experience, cities like Rome, Paris, London, and New York are the ideal mix of culture, history, and nightlife. These destinations are the right choice for those who want to explore museums, shops, and restaurants, and experience the hustle and bustle of city life.

🎎 Cultural Immersion

And last but not least, there are also summer destinations that offer a unique blend of culture and adventure. If we think about Bali, Japan, or Morocco, these places do have acceptable temperatures in summer. And, at the same time, they provide a chance to cultural immersion and experimentation: yoga, meditation, samurai training or even camel trekking.

These are just a few of the many fantastic places you can visit this summer!

Because your air conditioning needs a vacation too…

With a mild weather and endless sunshine, Rome is another great place to spend your summer vacation.

The bohemian Italian city is home to some of the most iconic landmarks in the world, such as the Colosseum and the Vatican. After visiting those two, you can also take a stroll through the beautiful streets of Trastevere, pass the famous Trevi Fountain, or enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the Tiber River. On your way make time for pasta and gelato.

If you’re searching to combine the adventure of an urban jungle with just lazing on a beach, Rome is just 30 km away from the sea. In this regard, you can head for Ostia Antica, an ancient Roman port town located just outside of Rome.
