Trying to figure out your summer plans? If you’re planning an epic trip abroad, add these destinations to your must-see list.
Chambéry, France
In France, there’s an abundance of bucket-list-worthy sights in and around Paris, but there’s an extraordinary list of smaller towns and historical areas that are a little more off the beaten path throughout the entire country. Chambéry is a picturesque village at the foot of the Alps in Southeast France. It is home to a medieval castle, an iconic cathedral and fountain, and the Musée des Beaux-Arts.
Almería, Spain
Looking to hit the beach? Almería is a Spanish province known for the most sunshine in all of Europe. The area hosts a litany of unbelievable beaches, quaint nearby villages, and volcanic cliffs. There’s a variety of resorts and state parks as well, so you can immerse yourself in the local culture, explore the outdoors, or kick back in front of the water and relax in style.
Milan, Italy
Milan is famous for its art, fashion, and architecture. From the Duomo Cathedral to the medieval Sforza Castle, there’s plenty of historical and beautiful sights to behold in Milan. When you’re not learning about Leonardo da Vinci’s legacy, you can hit the massive Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade.
Seoul, Korea
Food, palaces, marketplaces, and K-pop. What more could you ask for from your summer vacation? Seoul is a vibrant city to explore, spotted with beautiful gardens, temples, shrines, and nightlife. It is also home to the Seoul Tower, Lotte World, and the Seoul Museum of History. Soak up as much of the culture, history, and unique architecture as you can!
Wellington, New Zealand
If you’re more in the mood for some winter vibes in the southern hemisphere this summer, Wellington is a foodie and mixology haven perfect for wine or craft beer enthusiasts, and it’s also a great destination for surfers and art lovers. Weta Cave is close by for Lord of the Rings fans, or you can trek the outdoors at the Zealandia wildlife refuge. There’s a little something for everyone.
