Summer is arguably the best and easiest season for travel.
The season practically begs you to get outside and explore the glorious world around you. Narrowing down options for travel can almost seem impossible, so we chose the best options for this summer season:
Big Cities
Those skylines seem to shine a little brighter in the summer sun.
Whether you have your sights set on New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, go where your heart desires and where you haven’t been. Beware of the sweltering summer temperatures and limit your outdoor time if you need to. Spend time in a museum, shopping or traveling to the top of a skyscraper for adventure without the heat. This is perfect for a trip with your best friends.Beaches
How can you talk about summer travel and not mention beaches? Soaking up the sun and sand are some of the best parts of the season. Make your way down to your favorite beach or venture off to a new one. Beach trips are arguably the most relaxing, so take advantage of the time off and make the most of it. This trip is the most versatile, allowing you to go with a group of friends, family or a significant other. Grab your swimsuit, some sunblock and a good book and dig your toes into the sand.
Cruises
Cruises are considered the ultimate getaway. All of the fun and sun you can take are crammed into one convenient location. The prices in the summer can be a little steeper than in other seasons, but if you dig enough, you are bound to find a great deal. Many cruises take you to several locations, so you can knock more than one place off your travel bucket list. This trip is a great romantic getaway with your significant other.
Amusement Parks
Packing all the thrills and adventure you can handle, theme parks make a great day trip or extended trip if your heart so desires. Whether are you heading to Disneyland, Universal Studios or your nearest Six Flags, make sure to do some planning beforehand to get the most out of the experience. Research deals online to make sure you get the most bang for your buck. This is a good trip for friends or family.
Road Trips
Nothing beats rolling down the window, breathing in the summer air and hitting the open road. Always wanted to take a cross country road trip? Now may be the best time in your life to do it. Pack your friends in the car and head across the country. This trip is guaranteed to be one to remember for a lifetime. Even though the idea of a spontaneous road trip is exhilarating, try to do some planning in advance to make the road a little less bumpy along the way.
Our summers may not be as free as when we were younger, but that doesn’t mean that they have to be any less glorious. Take this summer season to go where you have always wanted to and make memories that are you’re not soon to forget.
