As summer is approaching fast, many of us pencil in the dates for our travel itineraries. Some cities are very popular since they are heavily advertised, so a visit to this place for a couple of social media shoots would be nice.
However, some places fall off the radar and they become a delightful journey for an untrained eye.
Below we cover 5 cities that may hold life changing surprises upon visiting.
1. Split, Croatia
When we think of the Roman glory days, we directly link it to Rome, Italy. However, many glamorous sites of the Roman heyday fall in Croatia.
Diocletian’s Palace is a magnificent structure that engulfs more than half of the old town. History enthusiasts will fall in love with this place, as it provides them with the opportunity to plunge themselves into a historical walk around this magnificent roman fortress and showcases many flashbacks on the personal life of Emperor Diocletian.
2. Victoria, Seychelles
For coconut and vanilla treats, this could be the ultimate place to indulge in healthy sweets after a seafood nutrient rich meal.
Many activities are available in Seychelles to stay fit and amazed simultaneously. Walking in the dazzling nature, diving in the clear blue ocean, yachting, dining, sunbathing, are few of the available activities around the archipelago.
3. San José, Costa Rica
Costa Rica is one of our favourite countries when it comes to ecotourism. San José is ranked among the safest cities in Central and South America. This is heavily the result of governmental efforts in establishing the city as a hub for tourism, and creating an atmosphere for prosperity and success.
The city has come a long way to abolish its colonial past and emerges as tourist hotspot and safe haven for relaxation. San José infrastructure is impressive and offers a lot of attractions, museums, theaters parks and many more. A visit to this place is surely a satisfaction for curiosity and just the beginning for a series of recurring travels to the country.
4. Strasbourg, France
Fancy a vacation on the border between Germany and France? Look no more as Strasbourg is an ultimate stay for the mixed flavour.
The city used to serve as the formal seat of the European Parliament which gives it a strategic importance. In addition for being a center for culture and architecture, the city occupies a prestigious position in manufacturing and engineering.
Cathedrals, palaces, theaters, museums, and botanical gardens are the main attractions in the city, not to mention that a walk in the street can suffice as an open air museum.
5. Perth, Australia
May is considered by many travellers as one of the best months to visit West Australia for having some relaxation.
Picnics on the riverside parks of Swan River are a common theme in Perth. Other more adventurous activities include kayaking, hiking and biking along the many trails.
It’s no secret that Australia’s beaches are tourists’ gems; however it can get quite hot during summer. Consequently May becomes a very convenient time to enjoy the shorelines without having to worry about sunburns, though a sunscreen can always find its way to your beach bag.
