Best Destinations by Month

People often ask “When is the best time to visit XXX?” While many destinations can be visited year round, there is always the most desireable time to go. This may mean visiting the area right before or after peak travel season for that area.

January- Antarctica

November- Feburary

In January, it's the height of summer with temperatures averaging 43 degrees F and generally stable weather, with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. Penguin chicks are at their fluffiest, humpback whales are in full force, and leopard seals are are everywhere!

February- Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a Hindu temple complex in Cambodia and is the largest religious monument in the world. It was originally constructed as a Hindu temple but gradually transformed into a Buddhist temple towards the end of the 12th century. The weather in Cambodia is always quite warm, but February is still a bit more milder than the summer months.

October- Italy

May or October

Italy can get very hot and crowded in the summer. Plan your visit in October where crowds how thinned out and the weather is more manageable. Check out the Colosseum, Pompeii, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the canals of Venice. Enjoy the vineyards in Tuscany or just enjoy an Aperol Spritz in an outdoor cafe.

November- Machu Picchu

November is the shoulder season for the rainy months in Machu Picchu. Visiting now will give you sunny days with a chance of rain but will have limited visitors in the area. It might almost feel like you have the ruins to yourself. Grab a bite to eat at the Treehouse.

December- Germany or Austria

Europe knows how to celebrate the Christmas Holiday. The weeks leading up to Christmas cities will set up markets in the streets displaying Christmas goodies and gifts. The best way to visit multiple markets? A river cruise.
