Make Your Next Trip Extraordinary

Smart Travel Ideas for Every Month

by | July 29, 2025

Have you ever been surprised by how wonderful a place is in a month you never expected it to be?

We sure have. That’s why we’ve created a unique new resource for you: Trip Ideas By Month. We’ve collected experiences that have been road-tested by your fellow travelers in specific months. And the timing they recommend may surprise you.

Turns out, there are plenty of experiences to be had in places outside the months they are considered most popular—and ways to avoid the throngs even when they are: The scene you see above is from Lisa Malecha’s July family trip to an uncrowded pocket of southern France, the Camargue, known for its iconic white horses. Below, under July, are two of Lisa’s crew hiking in the Calanques nearby.

Dubai in August? Sicily in November? Peru in December? Absolutely! Armed with this intel, you’ll never look at the limitations of seasonal climates the same way again.

So, when you know which month you can get away, click to your fellow travelers’ tried-and-true recommendations below. For advice from experts too, go to our Where To Go When page. And if you’d like our personalized input based on your trip parameters, click to GET A PERSONALIZED TRIP RECOMMENDATION.
