Where to go between January and April 

If you’re looking for where to go in January, consider escaping the chill and soaking up the sun on a beautiful beach in Thailand or hit the slopes at a ski resort in Europe or closer to home around Montreal or Calgary. If you fancy a romantic beachside getaway, Playa del Carmen or Honolulu are some of the best places to visit in February. For a cheap vacation in March, you could experience the St. Patrick’s Day festivities in Chicago, when the river turns green. Experience the springtime magic of an April vacation in Paris as you cruise along the Seine. 

Great places to visit between May and August 

Rome is a popular vacation destination in May, with the city covered in a floral splendour. Among the best places to visit in Europe in June are Amsterdam and Greece.

In July, you might want to experience the island magic of the Azores, or, closer to home, the thundering magnificence of Niagara Falls. A vacation in August could take you to destinations as diverse as Venice, the Bahamas or Reykjavik

Where to go between September and December 

September’s an ideal time for cruising Alaska’s fjords or sipping ouzo in Santorini. Consider a shopping trip to Dubai in October, or spending some time on the beach in Bangkok in October. Germany’s Christmas markets make it an ideal December destination.
