Explore the world in our top five summer destinations

With so many sun-kissed locations to choose from across Europe, Africa and Asia, it’s time to start planning your next adventure. To help you decide where to go, we’ve selected five of our best travel destinations for summer vacations. Whether you’re searching for the best summer breaks for families or the best European cities to visit in July or August, there’s somewhere waiting to be explored.

Portugal

One of the most popular and best vacation spots, Portugal is full of charm. Start your journey in Lisbon, where you can hop aboard a vintage tram and admire the city’s historic neighbourhoods. Next, head north to Porto and glide along the Douro River past terraced vineyards and elegant bridges. From there, take a day trip to Sintra to marvel at the colourful turrets and romantic gardens of the iconic Pena. For a slower rhythm, hire a car and drive along the coastline to discover golden beaches.

Greece

Set off on a trip to Greece to wander through the mainland and islands. Why not begin in Athens, where the Acropolis is a must-see for its ancient reliefs and statues? Then climb the towering Mount Olympus, the home of Greece’s legends and fables, or step inside the huge Melissani Cave near Sami, a fascinating natural attraction. Don’t forget to visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Delphi and Mycenae. The great Greek poet Homer immortalised Mycenaean civilisation in his epic, the Iliad.

Italy

Italy is one of the best places to visit for families and couples. Get started by travelling to Rome and find historic treasures everywhere – from the Colosseum to grand museums and sun-drenched piazzas. Then escape to the rolling hills of Tuscany and savour culinary traditions on a food tour, or roam through medieval towns. In Venice, drift through the canals by gondola before heading north to the serene waters of Lake Como. End off with a boat ride along the Amalfi Coast to swim in the azure sea.

Tanzania

Summer is the ideal time for a holiday in beautiful Tanzania. Go on safaris through the country’s magnificent game reserves to see Africa’s Big Five in the wild. If you’re a true adventurer, join a guided climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, one of Africa’s iconic natural wonders. To enjoy a panoramic aerial view, get up early and ride a hot air balloon in Serengeti National Park. Or head to the coast and go snorkelling and diving in Zanzibar, where you can swim with the imposing yet gentle whale sharks.
