Where to travel in winter

Winter invites you to travel in two very different ways, either leaning into the season or leaving it behind entirely. You could swap grey skies for Southern Hemisphere sunshine in Australia, Chile, or New Zealand. Or, if you’re drawn to winter at its most atmospheric, there’s skiing in Canada and Italy, wildlife-rich journeys to Antarctica, and vibrant city breaks in Singapore during Lunar New Year.

June in full bloom

 

There are so many travel opportunities to explore in June. Dry season conditions improve wildlife visibility in parts of southern Africa. Across Europe, long daylight hours bring festivals, outdoor dining and a lively summer atmosphere. In North America, national parks open up for hiking and wildlife spotting, while the South Pacific moves into a cooler, drier phase that suits island exploration.

If you’re wondering where to travel in June, this is a month that blends nature, culture and coastline with fewer weather extremes in many destinations, such as Fiji and Namibia.

July sun in full swing

July sits firmly in the heart of the Northern Hemisphere summer. School holidays begin, Mediterranean coastlines glow under long sunny days and wildlife viewing reaches dramatic highs in parts of Africa.

Further afield, classic road trips unfold across the United States, while far flung islands in the South Pacific and Indian Ocean like French Polynesia and Sri Lanka offer space and seclusion. If you’re thinking about where to travel in July, this is a month for bold landscapes and big experiences.
