Sydney to Perth by train: What to expect on one of the world’s longest train trips

The Indian Pacific train. Matt Munro for Lonely Planet

It all started with an Instagram Reel, sent to me late one night by my friend, Alice.

Set to a jaunty soundtrack of Benny Goodman, it featured Hollywood actress Anna Kendrick with her head out the window of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. The wind whipping her hair, she grinned as the train zipped through mountain peaks.

“This could be us,” suggested Alice, suddenly swept away by the romance of rail.

I, however, was lured by the idea of a set itinerary with excursions, fuelled by all-inclusive food and beverage. We wouldn’t need to plan activities, figure out where to stay, or decide what to eat. A train holiday, it seemed, would be the antidote to decision fatigue. We could simply go along for the ride.

So, with our 20-year friendship anniversary on the horizon, we boarded the southern hemisphere’s version of the Orient Express: Journey Beyond’s Indian Pacific train journey across Australia.

One of the longest railway lines in the world, the 4,350km (2,704-mile) trip from Sydney to Perth cuts across the southern girth of Australia with plenty of stops along the way. Over 4 days, we met outback drag queens, crossed the legendary Nullarbor Plain, and explored long-abandoned ghost towns in the middle of the desert.

Thinking of choo-choo-choosing the Indian Pacific? Here’s what you can expect – and how to prepare for your journey.

The essentials

Departs: Sydney or Perth
Journey time: 4 days, 3 nights
Fares: Begin at AU$3,190 for the economy (“Gold”) class

What do I need to pack?

Heavily influenced by Anna Kendrick, I was convinced that I needed to pack three cocktail dresses – one for each night on the train.

The reality? I wore the same pair of yoga pants nearly every day. It didn’t take long before I realized that overstuffing my bag was a grievous error in judgement. Because unlike Kendrick’s plush suite, space was at a premium in our cabin.

Here’s what I would actually recommend packing for the Indian Pacific.

Pack everything in a soft-sided bag

Unless you’ve booked the new-in-2026 Aurora Australis Suites (which feature a separate bedroom and butler service), you’ll only have enough room in your cabin for a carry-on bag. Choose one with soft sides, as you’ll want to shove it under the bed or into the tiny closet so you have space to move around freely in your cabin.

If you are holidaying in Sydney beforehand or Western Australia after your train trip (like I did), you’ll be able to check a large suitcase onto the train – but you won’t have access to its contents for the duration of your journey.

I used a soft-sided packable duffel bag, which was easy to collapse into my larger bag at the end of my train trip.

Casual clothing and plenty of layers

Australia’s outback regions can reach soaring daytime temperatures, but then drop to the single digits overnight. For our off-train excursions, I was exceptionally grateful to have packed a scarf and wool sweater, both of which got daily use.

With most of your time spent sitting or walking between your cabin and the bar car, comfort is key, as are flat shoes. (You are going to be walking around a moving vehicle, after all.)

On the final night, you’ll be attending an off-train barbecue at Rawlinna, Australia’s largest operating sheep station. So feel free to break out your Akubra and be sure to pack a jacket that you don’t mind getting smoky.

If you do want to dress up for an evening meal, save your nice outfit for your excursion in Adelaide.

Earplugs and motion sickness medication

The first portion of the train journey from Sydney to Broken Hill is notoriously rocky. And I mean that quite literally – it was so bumpy in the top bunk that I dreamt I was stuck in a never-ending earthquake. If you, like me, are a light sleeper, don’t expect to get much shut-eye on night one.

Although the evening nightcap delivered to your room might help, I’d recommend arriving with good earplugs to block out the din, as the train clickety-clacks its way up through the Blue Mountains and beyond.

By the morning of day two, the journey smooths out considerably, but if you’re susceptible to motion sickness, make sure to pack medicine. (I don’t usually get sick when riding the rails, but I felt a particular creeping malaise that could only be attributed to the sway of the train.)

What excursions can I expect?

Owing to the distance and the remote nature of outback Australia, the Indian Pacific traverses landscapes and stops in towns that few travelers will see in their lifetime.

Our first excursion was in Broken Hill, filming location of the 1994 film Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, which is pretty much a required watch before any trip to Australia.

I was fully expecting that the train would be greeted by drag queens – what I wasn’t anticipating was that it would be at 7:30am. (You haven’t truly lived until you’ve played drag bingo before the sun has even cracked over the horizon.)

Then, in Adelaide, we visited a winery in the Adelaide Hills and had a meal with live entertainment in the cute German town of Hahndorf.

Our favorite stop, though, was the ghost town of Cook. Once a thriving railway town responsible for train track maintenance, it was all but abandoned with innovations in railway engineering. Today, the remains of a school, golf course, and filled-in swimming pool create an eerie setting that train passengers get to roam, like something out of a post-apocalyptic film.

Ultimately though, be prepared to spend minimal time off the train (two hours or less at each stop), with the exception of Adelaide, when the train’s staff changeover.

If you’re looking for a journey with more robust off-train excursions, The Ghan expedition – which includes full-day excursions in Alice Springs and Coober Pedy – may be more your speed.

What kind of things are there to do aboard the Indian Pacific?

Like any great train journey, the main source of on-board entertainment aboard the Indian Pacific is gazing out the window at the passing scenery, including massive wind and solar farms, and occasional wildlife like eagles, emus and kangaroos.

The main selling point of this journey, though, is Australia’s vastness. Perhaps nothing gives you a better sense of the country’s scale than crossing the Nullarbor – a 200,000 sq km (77,000 sq mile) flat and nearly treeless plain.

It’s considered a rite of passage to travel across, although I’d describe it more as a test of endurance. Absent of landmarks, you soon lose sense of time and whether you’re traveling backwards or forwards through the expansive scrub-filled landscape.

When the scenery is more about the absence of something, and you have limited connectivity (WiFi and cell phone reception on the journey are spotty as you’re traveling across the outback), chances are you’ll find yourself deep in conversation with total strangers in the club car or over breakfast.

(To maximize space, couples are seated with other passengers on the train for meals, which can sometimes feel like real-life chat roulette, usually with positive results.)

Other than hanging out in the bar car sipping wine, playing board games, and listening to the on-board musicians (an absolute don’t-miss), most guests spent their days lounging in their cabins.

The exceptionally attentive staff will convert your bunk beds to a couch while you’re at breakfast, creating a cozy daytime space for reading, daydreaming, or having deep conversations with your travel companion.

The verdict

“In a world of mediated digital experiences, it’s very low-fi. A lot of it is just sitting in a bar car with people you don’t know,” said Alice on our final day. “It’s amazing to see Australia – but the lasting impact is the people you meet.”

12 of the Prettiest Towns and Villages in Spain

Writer Kerry Walker picks 12 of Spain’s prettiest towns, from Andalucía to the Pyrenees.

For Moorish history, head to pink-stoned Albarracín in Aragón; for Pyrenean views, try Aínsa.

Dreamy Deià clings to a Mallorcan hillside; Frigiliana blazes dazzlingly white in Andalucía.

Valldemossa’s monastery hosted Chopin; Calatañazor, with just 43 souls, feels like another era.

Spain canters through every epoch and architectural style to deliver some of Europe’s most beautiful backdrops, including the Mediterranean views of Andalucía’s pueblos blancos (white towns), the cliff-hugging hill towns of Mallorca, and hamlets in the shadow of Mt Teide on Tenerife.

We’ve combed every inch of this lovely, feisty, sun-scorched land to bring you our pick of the most stunning towns and villages in Spain.

To begin planning your trip, download the Lonely Planet app and check out our Spain guidebook.

1. Deià, Mallorca

Best village in low season

Deià, Mallorca. Tain Nattapong/Shutterstock

Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana mountains are sprinkled with pretty villages that send Instagrammers into raptures, but Deià, clinging to a hillside on the island’s northwest coast, is arguably the most gorgeous of the lot. Honey-hued, terracotta-tiled, bougainvillea-draped houses peek above palm and cypress trees.

Hovering between the glittering blue Mediterranean and the thickly wooded mountains that ripple along the island’s northern spine, this village is in an Edenic setting of orchards, almond and olive groves, vegetable gardens and vineyards.

Deià’s beauty is no secret – whatever you do, avoid the peak summer crush if you want to tune in to the village’s romance as the former haunt of artistic souls like British poet Robert Graves.

He built his dream home here in 1929, which you can now visit. Or you might be inspired to pen a verse of your own on the mountain-facing Poets’ Walk at Belmond La Residencia.

Planning tip: While you’re here, make the 10-minute drive to Son Marroig, a grand mansion once owned by Habsburg Archduke Ludwig Salvator. The gardens have sublime views out to sea. Ask for permission to walk the 3km path through olive groves and pine trees down to Sa Foradada, a bizarre hole in the rock that resembles an elephant from certain angles.

2. Albarracín, Aragón

Best village for Moorish history

Albarracín. Alejandro Vicente/Shutterstock

Albarracín, in the mountainous reaches of Aragón in Spain’s east, is a knockout. Prettily perched 1182m above a loop in the Río Guadalaviar, it’s a vision in soft pink stone – never lovelier than when sunset makes the rugged cliffs and medieval half-timber houses blush.

Back in the 10th century, the Moors left their stamp on the steep fortress walls (hike up them for soul-stirring views), the dominating castle, and the medina-like, shadowy alleyways.

For the inside scoop on regional history, dip into the Museo de Albarracín.

But Albarracín’s real magic lies in kicking back and absorbing time-lost Spain over a tasting platter of local charcuterie and cheese (like the superb cave-aged Albarracín sheep cheese) and Aragonese wines at Alizia, just off the Plaza Mayor.

Planning tip: Pair a stay here with a visit to nearby Teruel, a UNESCO-stamped marvel of Mudéjar architecture, with 14th-century towers modeled on minarets, a staggeringly ornate cathedral and Fundación Amantes, complete with the mausoleum for the tragic amantes (lovers) Isabel and Juan Diego, the town’s very own Romeo and Juliet.

3. La Orotava, Tenerife

Best town to linger in

If you’ve got Tenerife down as merely a fly-and-flop package holiday, you’re missing out. In the shade of the cloud-wreathed volcano Mt Teide, Spain’s highest peak at 3715m, La Orotava catapults you back to the 16th century in a tangle of streets and flower-dotted plazas.

The atmosphere here is thoroughly Canarian – a refreshing contrast to resorts on the coast.

Get a feel for the place by ambling along the showstopping Calle San Francisco, where immaculately preserved mansions catch your eye with carved balconies. At the unmissable Casa de los Balcones, stop by the courtyard cafe to sip a coffee before heading to nearby Casa Lercaro, with its baroque wooden gallery.

Check out La Orotava’s old-fashioned tascas (bars) for drinks and tapas, or buy hand-milled gofio (flour made from toasted grains) at the historic La Maquina mill. Go for a tasting after a vineyard tour (try Bodegas Tajinaste), then ask your way to a nearby guachinche (a small, simple family-run eatery) for a cheap-as-chips Canarian feast with local wine.

Planning tip: La Orotava is too good to rush. Dream about the town’s heritage in the beautifully converted 17th-century mansion that’s now Hotel Rural Victoria.

4. Santillana del Mar, Cantabria

Best town for medieval charm

As the saying goes, Santillana del Mar in Cantabria in northern Spain is a town of three lies: it’s not holy (santi), flat (llana) or by the sea (del mar) – well, the latter is debatable, as it is only a wave away from the Atlantic coast. One thing is true, however: Santillana is a beauty. History is writ large in this well-preserved medieval time capsule, where cobblestone streets lead past 15th- to 18th-century houses of tanned stone and brick, with balconies festooned in flowers.

There are sights to hold you for a spell, including the 12th-century monastery Colegiata de Santa Juliana and its striking Romanesque cloister, but you’ll soon be itching to head out of town to visit the Museo de Altamira. The stunning recreation of the Cueva de Altamira’s Polychrome Hall chamber captivates with bison paintings made using the natural rock relief.

Planning tip: For a true flavor of Santillana del Mar, stay overnight in one of the lovingly restored posadas (historic guesthouses), such as the revamped medieval Santa Juliana.

5. Malpartida de Cáceres, Extremadura

Best town for slowing down

In Spain’s wild western region of Extremadura, nudging the Portuguese border, time slows, and history is deeply etched into the crumbling walls of medieval cities, villages and hamlets. One of the fairest of all is the whitewashed, terracotta-roofed town of Malpartida de Cáceres, famous for its sizeable stork colony.

Once you’ve had a jaunt around town, you’ll be drawn to nearby Los Barruecos, a natural monument of bizarrely shaped granite boulders, sculpted over millennia and reflected in reservoir waters. These fantasy landscapes starred in battle scenes in the TV series Game of Thrones.

Planning tip: From May to September, the Plaza Mayor is at its photogenic best, shaded by more than a thousand brightly colored parasols. Admire them over drinks and tapas from the terrace of LosPuri 1978.

6. Vejer de la Frontera, Andalucía

Best village for history

Ask a local to divulge Andalucía’s loveliest village – no mean feat as the competition is stiff – and Vejer de la Frontera invariably makes the list. With its bone-white houses stepping down a rocky hillside and piercing blue skies, the town looks as though it was plucked from a cubist painting.

Beyond, orchards and olive groves spill onto the sandy beaches of the Costa de la Luz.

Kick off any visit with a romp around the historic center: the striking 15th-century walls, gateways and former judería (Jewish quarter); the Moorish castle, with its original rainwater aljibe (cistern); and the palm-fringed, cafe-rimmed Plaza de España, with its Seville-tiled fountain. Round out with dinner at El Muro, where chefs riff imaginatively on the freshest seasonal ingredients.

Planning tip: May, June and September are terrific months for dodging the biggest summer crowds but still catching fine weather at surf-smashed beaches like El Palmar.

7. Medinaceli, Castilla y León

Best town for Roman ruins

You could forever roam the vast plains and mountains of Castilla y León in Spain’s north and not find a prettier pueblo than Medinaceli. Strung along a ridge 1204m above sea level, this hill town seduces with its mix of Roman ruins, quiet alleys and warm stone houses that recall the families who lived here when the village was captured during the Christian Reconquista of 1124.

If you’re up for a historic deep dive, top billing goes to the Arco Romano, the Roman triumphal arch that’s one of Spain’s best preserved; the Puerta Árabe, one of the four original gates to the Roman settlement, with dreamy views over rolling countryside to boot; and the Roman mosaic on display in the 17th-century Palacio Ducal, which crowns the colonnaded Plaza Mayor.

Planning tip: Can’t choose between city and hill town? Medinaceli is just a 2-hour train ride or drive from the capital, Madrid, so you can easily combine both.

8. Frigiliana, Andalucía

Best village for pueblo blanco charm

On a day when the summer sun burns in flawless Andalucian skies, the pueblo blanco of Frigiliana is so dazzlingly white that you’re forced to shield your eyes from the glare.

Slung high above the sea on the slopes of the Sierra Almijara, the town is a jigsaw of Moorish alleys, with blue doors, brick arches and shocks of floral color.

For an unbeatable panorama over the village – to the mountains and out to the bright blue sea – clamber up to the highest point, the medieval ruins of the Moorish Castillo de Lízar. Get an early start to beat the heat. As you wander through the village’s mazy heart, keep an eye out for 12 ceramic panels recounting local history.

Frigiliana is terrifically placed for exploring the wider region. Alternate time spent here with lazy beach days on the Costa del Sol. The golden sand coves, crystal blue waters and cathedral-like caves of Nerja are just 8km down the road.

 Granada, with its mighty Alhambra, and the snow-tipped peaks of the Parque Nacional de Sierra Nevada are also just an hour away.

Planning tip: Frigiliana is less than an hour’s drive east of Málaga, meaning you can easily combine a trip here with a visit to the soulful city where Picasso grew up.

9. Aínsa, Aragón

Best town for hikes in the Pyrenees

You can tick off medieval towns and Crusader castles like rosary beads as you wend through the rocky hills of Huesca province in northern Aragón, but few can hold a candle to insanely lovely Aínsa, a beauty with entrancing views of the Pyrenees.

The mountains whoosh above its golden stone houses, cobblestone streets and plant-bedecked alleys, eliciting little gasps of wonder from first-time visitors.

And you won’t be able to take your eyes off the buttress-like 2295m crag of Peña Montañesa soaring above town.

Start at the Plaza Mayor, a gracious square rimmed by arcades, then swing over to the Castillo for mesmerizing vistas from the ramparts. The town is also a fabulous springboard for hikes in the sky-scraping peaks of the Pyrenees in the 156-sq-km Parque Nacional de Ordesa y Monte Perdido, a 20-minute drive north.

Planning tip: Dodge the busier summer months to really feel the magic and bring walking gear for high-level mountain hikes.

10. Begur, Catalonia

Best town for Modernist architecture

Begur in Catalonia. Mazur Travel/Shutterstock

Capped off by the eye-catching ruins of its medieval castle, plonked high on a wooded crest, and with views over rolling hills to the brilliant blue sea, Begur, on Catalonia’s Costa Brava, is an instant heart stealer. First, you’ll want to hoof it up the 1km track to the castle, which looks much as it did when it was destroyed by Spanish troops to stop Napoleon’s advancing army in 1810. Film-set worthy? You bet. The film Suddenly, Last Summer, starring Elizabeth Taylor, was shot at the castle in 1959.

Beyond this, you can spend a sun-drenched morning wandering through lanes stacked with Modernista mansions like Casa Vicenç Ferrer Bataller, stopping for a seasonal lunch or predinner cocktails in the garden of the Cuban-style mansion Aiguaclara. Many such neoclassical mansions were built on the riches of the 19th-century tobacco, flour and cork trade with the West Indies.

Planning tip: Pack for the beach, too, as roads from here corkscrew down to some of the Costa Brava’s dreamiest coves, such as Cala d’Aiguafreda, Cala de sa Tuna and Sa Rieira.

11. Valldemossa, Mallorca

Best village for classical music

Valldemossa in Mallorca. ddRender/Shutterstock

The ragged, thickly wooded slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana range rise like a natural amphitheater above the improbably pretty village of Valldemossa on Mallorca’s north coast. If you have the good sense to avoid the peak summer months, you will find a lot to love about its tan stone alleys. The village is less about ticking off sights and more about soaking up the atmosphere from a cafe like Orígenes.

There is one exception to this rule: the Real Cartuja, a grand Carthusian monastery that was home to kings, monks and 19th-century composer and legendary pianist Frédéric Chopin and his partner, the French novelist George Sand. The pair spent the winter of 1838 here. Time your visit for one of the 15-minute piano recitals.

Planning tip: The Pianino Festival, which kicks off in March and runs through summer. Performances of Chopin’s works (some on his original piano) are held in the Real Cartuja.

12. Calatañazor, Castilla y León

Best village for romance

Calatañazor in Castilla y León. chekyfoto/Getty Images

A cat’s cradle of uneven lanes and rough brick-and-timber medieval houses topped off with conical chimneys, the hilltop Calatañazor in Castilla y León fits the romantic Spanish village bill perfectly.

That’s if you can even call it a village. With a population of just 43, this hamlet was the backdrop for Orson Welles’ 1965 tragicomic drama Chimes at Midnight and the 1965 romance Doctor Zhivago.

For stirring views from walls and watchtowers, make a beeline for the one and only sight: Castillo de Calatañazor, a ruined Muslim fortress. That done, you might want to strike out into the surrounding countryside.

A 30-minute drive west brings you to the Parque Natural Cañón del Río Lobos, a dramatic limestone canyon where you can hike in forests of juniper and pine and spot birdlife like griffon vultures, golden eagles and falcons.

Planning tip: Experience Calatañazor at its silent best after the day-trippers have departed by staying the night in one of its historic casas rurales (rural homes).

Find the Best Airfares with This Guide to Booking Budget Flights

Contributor Harriet Baskas shares tips on flight timing, price tools and passenger rights.

Set price alerts and aim to buy international tickets at least three months ahead of travel.

Use Hopper, Kayak or Google Flights to compare, then buy directly from the airline.

Fly Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday, when airfares are often 30% to 40% cheaper.

Since the global pandemic grounded most of us in 2020 and 2021, air travel has certainly rebounded. In fact, airlines flew more people than ever last year, nearly 5 billion passengers, and with fewer accidents, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) global safety data.

Higher demand can often signal higher ticket prices. But experts tell us that with a bit of patience, persistence, and good timing, you can find fair, even inexpensive, airfares for your trip — leaving more money in your account to have the best experiences while you’re away. Here’s how.

Book when the price is right

If you can, start your hunt for the best airfare well before the date you want to fly. That will help you recognize and respond when fares dip or begin to rise.

“For international trips, that means starting to monitor fares up to 6 to 7 months in advance and purchasing 3 to 5 months in advance”, says Haley Berg, Lead Economist at booking site Hopper.

For most US domestic trips, “start searching fares 3 to 4 months before you plan to take a trip”, says Berg, “and purchase 1 to 2 months before takeoff”.

For those who cannot plan that far ahead, “the main thing to remember is the 21-day rule,” explains Scott Keyes of airfare search site Going.

“Most fares include in the fine print an advance purchase requirement, which says that the cheapest fare is only available if booked at least, say, 21 days before travel. On day 20, that previously cheapest fare expires, and the new cheapest fare is often $100 or $200 more expensive,” he says.

Set up alerts to monitor fares

You don’t need to dedicate hours to checking airfares every day on your own. Price-tracking tools, services and apps, such as Google Flights, Kayak, Hopper, Skyscanner and many others, do a good job of monitoring fares for you and alerting you to deals and ideal times to buy.

“A key point to remember is that you don’t have to book where you search,” says Going’s Keyes, “In fact, the best place to search is rarely the best place to book.”

“Use one of the flight search engines to compare flights across many airlines”, says Keyes, “but once you find the flight you want, buy your ticket directly from the airline.”

There are at least two good reasons for heeding that advice. “Certain legal protections only apply when you book directly with the airline,” says Keyes. Most notably, the US federal government’s 24-hour rule requires airlines to give you a full cash refund within 24 hours of purchase if you change your mind about a ticket because you found a better fare.

Also, not using a go-between can mean fewer hassles if there is a delay or some other problem on the day of your scheduled flight.

Fares change all the time

Do not bother staying up till 1am on Thursday to grab that cheap fare. The days when airlines uploaded their fares all at once are gone. Airlines constantly alter fares according to myriad algorithms that can change in seconds, minutes, or hours as they respond to demand.

While there may not be a cheapest time or day to book your flight, there are some best times to take your flight, says Keyes, “Business travelers tend to avoid flying Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, so airfares are often 30% to 40% cheaper on those days.”

Hopper’s Berg agrees. “Flying over the weekend comes at a significant price premium,” she says, while Hopper’s research finds that flying midweek can offer savings of 17% on a US domestic flight and about 9% on those more costly international flights.

Cheap fares can come at a cost

There are a few things to keep in mind about some of the cheap fares you may find. Many of the airlines’ cheapest fares come with multiple stops, super long layovers, and stricter rules for refunds and rebooking.

Others may impose extra fees for everything from choosing your seat to printing out a boarding pass or putting a bag in the overhead locker. Be sure to check the fine print so you do not get a costly surprise after the initial joy at a discount airfare.

Who has your back if things go wrong?

Once you have your ticket in hand, it is good to know your rights if things go wrong. For flights that depart from an airport in the EU, or which are operated by an EU airline, European Regulation EC 261 mandates compensation for flight delays and cancellations.

In the US, if an airline cancels your flight, the carrier must offer you a full cash refund, although you may instead accept a voucher or a rebooked flight.

The US Department of Transportation’s “Fly Rights” guide offers more details in its Consumer Guide to Air Travel. Some additional benefits and reimbursements may be available to passengers via insurance provided automatically by the credit card you used to purchase the ticket.

As summer winds into autumn, the shoulder season is perfect for a last-minute adventure. Fall trips are the best time for leaf-peeping, road-tripping or soaking in the last rays of sun by the water. This is the season when the world slows down, encouraging us to savor every moment of our travels.

Whether you are looking to get cozy close to home or go off the grid somewhere completely new, here’s where to travel this autumn. And if you’d like expert help in planning an autumnal escape, reach out to our experts at Lonely Planet Journeys for bespoke trip planning.

Seoul, South Korea

Best for leaf peeping 

In fall, the country’s trees reach full flaming glory and provide a beautiful natural back-drop to even Seoul’s hightech-ery. Take a walk along the city’s Cheonggyecheon Stream and find it bright with both autumn color and the illuminations of the Seoul Lantern Festival. It’s also kimjang season, when friends and family gather to make massive batches of kimchi to last through the winter.

Seoul holds a Kimchi Festival (usually the first week of November) where you can make the famed fermented cabbage with hundreds of locals.

Southeast Turkey

Best for beaches

Turkey’s Mediterranean shore is much quieter in the fall after the school holidays have ended, but the water is still balmy and the historic sites remain open. In Southeast Turkey, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Lagoon-side Ölüdeniz is great for paragliding. Head to Patara’s endless-seeming swathes of golden sand or go to sleepy Çıralı, a protected area where sea turtles nest – from mid-September you might see the hatchlings emerge.

Nara, Japan

Best for fall foliage 

More than 1000 sika deer roam freely in Nara-kōen (Nara Park), and they have become a symbol of the city. Many of these deer have even learned to bow to visitors for deer crackers, which you can buy around the park. Japan’s famous autumn colors, along with these friendly, gentle animals, make Nara an absolute delight in fall.

You’ll also find Tōdai-ji, one of Japan’s best-known temples, which is home to one of the largest bronze Buddha images in the world.

Alta Via, Dolomites, Italy

Best for an epic trek 

The Dolomites are some of Europe’s best-looking peaks, and every footstep opens up another gorgeous view. Alpine summer, which runs until late September, is really the only time to walk the classic Alta Via 1 route.

Over the course of 10 or so days, this trek yields a bit of everything.

There are dramatic ramparts of limestone and dolomitic rock, passes reaching up to 2752m (9029ft), meadows festooned with wildflowers, welcoming rifugi (mountain huts) dishing up hearty portions of fine food, and even thrilling sections where metal handrails help you negotiate the wild terrain.

Oaxaca, Mexico

Best for Día de Muertos 

According to Mexican tradition, Día de los Muertos – the Day of the Dead – is when the deceased may briefly cross into the world of the living. While celebrations are thrown around the country from October 31 to November 2, the state of Oaxaca – known for its strong indigenous culture, unique cuisine and flourishing arts and crafts – is an excellent choice.

Families construct grave-side altars, adorned with photos, candles, marigolds and sweets; skull masks are worn and everyone feasts. Visit the city’s workshops, baroque plazas and busy markets.

At night, attend festivities at any of the region’s many cemeteries.

North Island, New Zealand

Best for road trips 

There are few better ways to explore New Zealand than by camper van, and hiring a camper in New Zealand’s spring can be up to 50% less expensive than in summer. If gets a little chilly, warm up at Rotorua and Lake Taupo’s hot-spring complexes, or find wild-and-free thermal pools such as Kerosene Creek (near Rotorua), which has a hot waterfall.

There’s also plenty of warmer weather fun: blackwater raft through Waitomo’s glowworm caves, shelter amid the Hobbiton film set or walk beneath Waipoua Forest’s towering kauri trees.

New Mexico, USA

Best for art 

New Mexico, often called the Land of Enchantment, is especially enchanting in sunny, mild autumn.

Sites such as 1000-year-old Taos Pueblo nod to the region’s Native American roots, while capital Santa Fe (founded by Spanish missionaries in 1610) combines old adobe houses, Romanesque architecture and a slew of modern-art galleries.

Then there’s the plentiful wilderness, from the Sangre de Cristos mountains of the north to the blinding-white dunes of the south. Visit in early October for the iconic Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Bocas del Toro, Panama

Best for water sports 

Slow-paced but well-developed, Panama’s Bocas del Toro is a longtime hangout for backpackers making their way around Central America. In fall, this archipelago is dry and sunny with calm seas.

This is a prime location to chill out and work on your tan, but there’s also plenty to discover away from the beaches and hammocks: watersports, wildlife-spotting and an inspired culinary scene.

Fez, Morocco

Best for stepping back in time 

Stepping through Fez’s blue-tiled Bab Bou Jeloud takes you on a journey back 1200 years to the most mesmerizing and extensive medieval city in the Islamic world.

Visit in the fall to explore (or, more likely, get hopelessly lost in) the tangled skein of 9400 alleys in Fes el-Bali. The oldest section of the walled medina is romantic and relentless in equal measure.

You can admire glorious Moorish zellij tilework before feasting on pastilla (pigeon pie), tagines and a traditional glass of mint tea.

Northern Kenya

Best for safaris without the crowds 

North of Mt Kenya stretches the Laikipia Plateau and eventually the Samburu National Reserve. Never heard of them? Exactly – that’s why this area of kopje-studded plains and acacia-clad hills is a dream.

In the reserves and community run conservancies of northern Kenya you’ll probably be alone with the wildlife (and local Maasai and Samburu peoples). That’s especially true in fall, when safari-goers flock to Kenya to see the Great Migration and prices fall.

As well as the biggies – lions, cheetahs, elephants and rhinos (black and white) – you might spot endangered species such as wild dog and Grévy zebra.

Menorca, Spain

Best for warm weather 

After the heat of high summer abates, hardcore beach-loungers depart but the sun hasn’t quite finished with the easternmost Balearic.

In the first weeks of autumn – sometimes dubbed primavera l’hivern (winter’s spring), tourist outposts are yet to close up shop and the Mediterranean lapping Menorca’s glorious beaches remains delightfully pleasant, yet you’ll have many places to yourself.

Discover the Anglo-Spanish heritage of charismatic capital Maó (Mahón) and former chief settlement, Ciutadella.

Marvel at four-millennia-old megalithic monuments, and hike or bike the undulating 185km (115 mile) Camí de Cavalls coastal circuit.

The Seychelles

Best for honeymooners 

The Seychelles is probably how Pixar would draw paradise: swaying palms, supernaturally blue seas, diamond-white sand, artfully smoothed and scattered boulders…and a few cute turtles wriggling ashore.

All it in all, it’s fantasy made real. Given the otherworldly beauty and the balmy 25–30°C (77–86°F) year-round temperatures, there’s no such thing as a bad time to visit this Indian Ocean archipelago.

In fall, the water hovers around 29°C (84°F), visibility is around 30m, and migrating whale sharks have arrived. It’s also cheaper than the peak timeframe of June to August.

Isle Royale, Michigan

Best for getting off the grid 

Isle Royale is one of the least-visited national parks in the United States, largely because it’s closed completely for almost half the year and is only accessible via floatplane or non-car ferry.

The park consists of one large, forest-swathed island and some 450 smaller ones. You’ll spot otters, moose, wolves, herons, hawks and loons.

September is less busy and less buggy than peak summer, but still warm enough to paddle, trek and wild camp. There are plenty of hiking trails to explore; kayakers will love the eastern shore’s inland lakes and fjord-like bays.

Nepal

Best for a long trip 

Fall is perfect for exploring all of Nepal, from its mountain highs to its jungly lows and the culture-rich ripples in between. In the Kathmandu Valley, 22°C (72°F) days are comfortable for temple touring in Patan and Bhaktapur. Down on the steamy terai (plain), it’s 27°C (81°F) and mud-free, so it’s easier to search for rhinos, tigers and other creatures that lurk therein. And then there are the mountains: 8000m (26,000ft) peaks soaring into clear blue skies; myriad hiking trails open for business.

Red Sea, Jordan

Best for scuba diving 

As the stifling heat of the Jordanian summer begins to drop, things really heat up along the Red Sea coast.

September and October are among the best months to dive here, with the air temperature hot but bearable, and the oh-so-clear water around a balmy 26°C (79°F) and jam-packed with activity.

Look out for eagle rays, moray eels, seahorses, turtles, lion fish and an array of other colorful fishes – more than 510 species have been recorded. Dive sites along the coast range from shallow coral gardens and gaping canyons to shipwrecks.

Cusco Region, Peru

Best for hiking 

The ingenious ancient Peruvians constructed a vast network of highways – the Qhapaq Ñan, spidering some 30,000km (18,641 miles) throughout the Andes – much of which remains intact today.

Visit in October, after peak season but before the rains set in, and explore far more than Machu Picchu. The Salkantay Trek traverses thrilling Andean wilderness: snow-clad peaks, glaciers and mezmerising lakes.

The Lares Trek, north of the Sacred Valley, boasts fewer Incan sites but ample interaction with local communities. And Choquequirao rewards with another ridge-top citadel – a mini Machu Picchu, with tiny crowds to match.

Namibia

Best for wildlife

Desert-dominated Namibia is a pretty arid place at the best of times, and fall is the perfect season to look for the country’s big game.

There likely hasn’t been a drop of rain for months, meaning that the wildlife is congregating at an ever-decreasing number of water sources. Spotting everything from elephant to the long-nosed elephant shrew, from cheetah to rare black rhino becomes a doddle in these conditions – especially in game-packed areas such as Etosha National Park. You don’t even need a guide:

Etosha’s excellent road network makes a self-drive safari simple; just park next to a waterhole and wait for the wildlife to arrive.

Boyne Valley, Ireland

Best for Halloween 

Halloween’s roots reach back thousands of years to the pagan harvest festival of Samhain, celebrated across Ireland and the pre-Christian Celtic world as the year darkened. Ireland’s Boyne Valley is home to the Hill of Tlachtga near Athboy (where a fire festival was traditionally held to honor a sun goddess during Samhain).

It’s where you’ll also find a passage tomb on the Hill of Tara, built so the main chamber is illuminated by the rising sun around Samhain.

Samhain customs have recently been revived in the Boyne, and the all-October Spirits of Meath Halloween Festival is a fun way to celebrate, mixing modern and traditional activities.

Fiji

Best for couples 

Fiji is paradise made easy.

The most accessible and tourism-attuned outpost of the South Pacific, Fiji has an idyll to suit everyone across its 333 islands. There’s white-sand-blue-sea magnificence across the archipelago – the dreamy Yasawa and Mamanuca groups are the most developed, but even still, no buildings are taller than a coconut palm.

You could happily swim, surf, snorkel and loll about at a lively or low-key resort here for weeks.

Fort Worth, Texas

Best for cowboy core 

Famous for being “Where the West Begins,” Fort Worth still has the cowboy feel. It first rose to prominence during the great open-range cattle drives of the late 19th century, when more than 10 million head of cattle tramped here along the Chisholm Trail.

These days, the legendary Stockyards are the prime visitor destination, hosting twice-daily mini-cattle drives, rodeos every weekend and Billy Bob’s, the world’s biggest honky-tonk.

Taiwan

Best for foodies 

Taiwan has managed to preserve Chinese traditions while forging a distinct cosmopolitan culture. The food – Chinese and Japanese dishes, Hakka specialities, sizzling street food – is sensational, too.

Autumn is the best time to visit. It’s cooler and less humid, and maple leaves are starting to turn. Start in capital Taipei, to visit the National Palace Museum; add on Sun Moon Lake, Taroko Gorge, old Lugang and Foguangshan (a huge Buddhist monastery where you can stay overnight).

The water is still warm enough for snorkelling in coastal Kenting National Park, while the mountains of Alishan offer good hiking.

St. Cuthbert’s Way, United Kingdom

Best for a spiritual experience 

St Cuthbert’s Way winds through the wild uplands of the English–Scottish border region, following in the footsteps of its namesake early medieval saint. Most sublime of all is its last stage, in which pilgrims must walk across an intertidal zone at low water to reach the Holy Island of Lindisfarne.

The trail takes hikers to places associated with the saint’s life – and hikers of religious faith (and none at all) spend days stomping its wildflower-strewn miles, returning to society every evening with soft beds in village pubs.

Prince Edward Island, Canada

Best for biking

On Prince Edward Island, the trainspotter’s loss has been the cyclist’s gain. Abandoned train tracks were repurposed into the Confederation Trail, a 435km (270-mile) network of well-surfaced, car-free, largely level paths (gradients never exceed 2%) that provide a great way to get around Canada’s smallest province.

And September, when summer crowds have gone and maximum temperatures average 20°C (68°F), is well suited to gentle cycling. The scenery is idyllic: expect rolling fields, wildlife-rich woodlands and wetlands, farmers’ markets, fishing communities and plenty of railway history – 250 interpretive panels line the way, adding color and context.

Adrenaline-pumping activities, pristine beaches, untamed forests, showstopping wildlife and a culture of welcoming visitors all serve to make Costa Rica an irresistable destination for adventurous travelers. It all starts from – and rolls up into – a philosophy of pura vida (“pure life”), a phrase you‘ll hear throughout the country.

Visitors find it hard to resist its tenets of living in the moment, finding joy in simple things and respecting nature.

Before you set out, consider these tips about packing, local etiquette and safety concerns. Here’s all you need to know before traveling to Costa Rica.

Trip planning

Best time to visit

Costa Rica is a fantastic year-round destination, with December to April the best time for clear skies and beach weather. Officially, there are two seasons. The dry season runs from December to March, the last the driest and hottest month, when the temperature hovers around 35°C (95°F). The rainy season runs from May through to November, with September and October being the wettest months.

But the country has a multitude of microclimates. Rainforest trails tend to be hot and steamy, but it can get chilly when you ascend to Costa Rica’s lofty, shady cloud forests. Even one excursion can deliver several different types of weather.

How many days to visit

You could easily spend weeks (or even months!) in Costa Rica, though you can also squeeze a lot into a week if time is short. If you’re traveling to this accessible corner of Central America from the US, you can enjoy even shorter trips of 5 days or so. But remember that though the country appears to be small, getting around will take longer than you think.

Best areas to stay

If you’re short on time and looking for memorable outdoor adventures, make a beeline to either La Fortuna and the Arenal volcano, or to the dense cloud forests of Monteverde. If you’re craving a beach break, fly into Liberia – close to the beaches lining the Pacific Coast – rather than San José.

On the Pacific shore, you can combine surf and jungle adventures in as little as a week; if you have more time, go off the beaten track on the remote, biodiverse Osa Peninsula, or explore the wild beaches along the Caribbean coast.

What to pack

Alongside t-shirts, shorts and flip-flops, pack a raincoat and a fleece or warm jacket, waterproof hiking boots, closed-toe hiking sandals, a rash guard, and lightweight, quick-dry clothing. Rain can arrive without warning, so bring a dry bag or other waterproof gear to protect your valuables. Don’t forget high-factor, water-resistant sunscreen and bug spray; both will be cheaper to buy at home.

What to book in advance

Book your accommodation well in advance if you plan to visit Costa Rica at peak times such as Christmas, the New Year, Easter or the USA’s spring break. Prices also rise during major festivals and events; be sure to book high-end restaurants and popular tours well ahead of time.

Bring two currencies and cards

The colón is Costa Rica’s official currency, though US dollars are widely accepted. Carry a mix of both currencies, with a stash of small bills for tipping, taxis, small shops and local restaurants. You should be able to pay for most everything else with credit and debit cards.

Etiquette in Costa Rica

Tipping in Costa Rica

While tipping is optional in Costa Rica, a little extra is much appreciated by hard-working guides and drivers. Aim for around 10% of the tour price, more if the service is exceptional. Restaurants are required to add a 10% service tax to your bill as well as a 13% sales tax, but top it up if you feel your server went the extra mile.

Aim to speak some Spanish

English is widely spoken in Costa Rica, though a little Spanish always goes a long way. Indeed, rolling out a few polite phrases will be met by big smiles from locals. Add the phrases buenos días (good morning), por favor (please) and gracias (thank you) to your lexicon.

Another useful phrase is pura vida – a sort of Tico “aloha” that can mean everything from “hello” and “goodbye” to “what’s up?” or “that’s great.”

Respect Costa Rican flora and fauna

Famed for its dazzling biodiversity, this small Central American nation is home to an astonishing 5% of the world’s plant and animal species, with around 28% of its landmass under protection. Locals take conservation seriously: Costa Rica generates 99% of its electricity from renewables and aims to be carbon neutral by 2050.

To play your part, choose lodgings with sustainable practices (look out for the Certification of Sustainable Tourism), travel with ethical tour guides and eat local. Always keep your distance from wild animals, and use a zoom lens or binoculars to see wildlife up close. Costa Rica was the first country to launch a #StopAnimalSelfies campaign, so always decline offers of photo ops with animals. National parks have banned single-use plastics, so carry a reusable water bottle instead.

Safety in Costa Rica

Keep your belongings safe

Street scenes in San José. David Cabrera for Lonely Planet

Costa Rica is generally safe, although petty crime can and does occur. Take the usual precautions and don’t flash expensive possessions. Avoid carrying all your credit cards together in one place, and if you need an ATM, try to use one inside a bank during the daytime. Foreign visitors are asked to carry their passports at all times, though the police will usually accept a photocopy.

Watch out for pickpockets in busy areas such as bus stations and markets, and keep an eye on your belongings on buses and beaches. Steer clear of poorly lit streets and avoid wandering around dodgy neighborhoods alone after dark, and seek local advice on spots to avoid.

If you visit bars and clubs, don’t leave your drink unattended, as there have been reports of spiking. In case of emergency, call 911.

Health care is good

The United Nations and the World Health Organization rank Costa Rica’s health-care system as among the best in the world. But since but you’ll have to pay for needed treatment, it’s always wise to take out travel insurance with cover for medical care.

Avoid bug bites

Malaria is rare, but local mosquitoes can carry other nasty diseases such as dengue and Zika, particularly in low-lying urban areas and along the coast. The best way to avoid bug bites is to use insect repellent containing at least 20% DEET (diethyltoluamide) and covering up bare skin, particularly in the evenings.

Don’t climb Arenal volcano

Until 2010, Volcán Arenal’s lava pyrotechnics thrilled onlookers. Now in a resting phase, its picture-perfect cone may look ready for climbing, but resist the temptation unless you’re a permit-carrying volcanologist. For doing so is illegal and could get you fined.

Instead, you can crunch over its lava-covered lower slopes on a variety of hiking trails or get active in the surrounding national park. The roads near Arenal abound with opportunities for outdoor activities. Make time for mountain-biking, horseback riding, rappelling, zip-lining, kayaking and windsurfing on nearby Lake Arenal – then soothe sore muscles in the region’s natural hot springs.

Be careful on the roads

Driving a rental car in Costa Rica offers the freedom to travel at your own pace, but there are a few precautions to consider. Most rental agencies require drivers to have comprehensive insurance in addition to purchasing mandatory liability insurance.

A 4WD is a must if you’re planning to tackle dirt roads. Before you set out, always check the vehicle’s condition and ensure it has all the necessary safety equipment, including a functional spare tire. On the road, drive slowly and defensively. In case of a breakdown, call the rental company or 911, as it can be risky to accept unsolicited help from strangers.

Never leave valuables unattended in your car, and try to use public parking lots with surveillance. Road trips always take longer than you think, so carefully think through your journey ahead of departing to avoid driving after dark.

Stay safe in the surf

Costa Rica is a great place to surf, with cool surf camps and year-round rollers along the Pacific Coast. Playa Hermosa on the Nicoya Peninsula was declared Central America’s first World Surfing Reserve in 2022.

However, rip currents are common, and you won’t always find lifeguards around.

So look out for warning flags – a red flag indicates a danger zone, while a black flag means stay out of the water in all circumstances. Don’t swim or surf alone. If a current starts to drag you out to sea, try to keep calm, shout for help, and swim parallel to the shore until you escape the current. Always check that rivers and lagoons are crocodile-free before diving in.

Tap water is usually safe

With Costa Rica’s heat and humidity, it’s important to stay hydrated, especially if you’re doing anything active (which you will be). The country’s tap water is normally safe to drink, but if you’re going to remote rural areas or you’d rather not take the risk, invest in a water-filter bottle such as the LifeStraw Go.

The 7 Best Places To Swim in Copenhagen, Denmark

Writer Caroline Sølver picks seven of Copenhagen’s best swimming spots.

For sunny harbor dips downtown, try Ofelia Plads, Havnebadet Islands Brygge and Kalvebod Bølge.

Families head to sandy Havnevigen; Christianshavn’s La Banchina draws a cool crowd to the pier.

Swimming is a big part of Danish culture, and Copenhagen, Denmark‘s seaside capital, offers plenty of opportunities for a dip. From urban decks to harborside platforms and even sandy beaches, the best places to swim in Copenhagen draw swimmers all year long – yes, even in winter!

You can stick to the center and lounge in the sun at Ofelia Plads or Havnebadet Islands Brygge, or you can venture north along the shore to catch some rays with a side of Bauhaus architecture, or head south for dunes and a view of Sweden. Be sure to pack a towel, swimsuit and something warm to change into after your swim.

The changing seasons have a big impact on the Danish swimming experience. Families gather in summer on the sandy shoreline at Amager, when the water temperature can reach 18ºC (64ºF), but you can plunge through a hole in the ice in the same location in mid-winter, or chill (the other kind) on the pier in the hip neighborhood of Christianshavn at any time of year.

Alongside the city’s fabulous food, swimming is one of the reasons locals love their capital so much, so grab your swimsuit and dive into our guide to the best places to swim in Copenhagen.

1. Ofelia Plads

Best place to relax by the water downtown

In the Indre By district in the heart of Copenhagen, just north of the historic harbor at Nyhavn, Ofelia Plads is the most central spot to chill out by the water – perfect if you’re looking to rest between sightseeing stops. This man-made wooden sundeck has views of Amalienborg and the Operaen, and it draws locals in droves on warm days.

Swimming is not officially encouraged, but people often take a dip in summer. The huge wooden deck is set up with lots of lounge chairs, and waiting food trucks can satiate your hunger before or after a plunge. On a fine summer evening, Ofelia is a lively place to grab a few drinks and watch Copenhageners unwind.

Planning tip: If you don’t feel like an unauthorized swim, head south to Havnebadet Islands Brygge, a 20-minute walk to the south.

2. Bellevue Beach

Best beach for architecture fans

Located 10km north of Copenhagen, Bellevue is a proper beach, and it offers the best of the Danish Riviera experience. The shore is lined with nearly a kilometer of white sand, the water is clear and good for swimming, and it’s easy to get here on public transportation – just take the train toward Klampenborg.

As well as enjoying the sea and sand, keep an eye out for some important examples of 1930s Danish architecture. The Danish Bauhaus-style lifeguard tower and the apartment complex Bella Vista were designed by famed architect Arne Jacobsen. For lunch, take a 1.5km stroll to Olivers Garage, a lovely cafe serving sandwiches and ice cream in a former gas station – also designed by Jacobsen.

Planning tip: If you want to dip your toes in the sand without traveling out of the city, sandy Svanemøllen Beach sits in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, about 4km north of the center.

3. Havnebadet Islands Brygge

Best outdoor swimming spot in central Copenhagen

Probably the most popular swimming spot in Copenhagen, Havnebadet Islands Brygge, to the south of Christianshavn, is an excellent hangout if the weather is warm. There are five outdoor swimming pools at the harbor baths, with an open lawn where locals gather to picnic, play games, enjoy music and catch some rays.

There are tons of activities on offer, including volleyball, an outdoor gym, a play pool for kids and diving platforms of different heights. If you dare, you can jump off the 5m-high diving board, the tallest one here, but warm up first on the lower platforms.

Planning tip: The baths are open year-round, including in winter, when the diving area is reserved for the local winter swimming club. If you feel like a wintery dip, there’s a smaller marked area for the general public.

4. Kalvebod Bølge

Best spot for downtown sunbathing and diving

Directly opposite Islands Brygge, Kalvebod Bølge at Kalvebod Brygge is another good spot for a quick dip in the harbor waters. This broad wooden promenade is a popular spot to enjoy the sun in summer, and there are swimming areas for kids and adults.

Feel like a daredevil? Try diving from one of the towers or the roller-coaster-like wooden ramp – a popular test of bravery for young Copenhageners. Kalvebod Bølge is also a popular launch point for kayaking, with rentals and lessons available through Kajakhotellet, which also operates at Amager Strand.

Planning tip: The Kalvebod Bølge baths are open 24 hours – ideal for the long evenings of the Danish summer.

5. Havnevigen Harbor Bath

Best beach for families

Loads of parents with young children meet up at Havnevigen, a wide sandy stretch of artificial beach located in the modern part of Islands Brygge, about 2km south of Christianshavn. Beyond the sand, the man-made swimming lake is 2m deep in places, with kid-

friendly shallow waters at the edges. Havnevigen’s family-friendly vibe is a reminder of the value that Denmark places on recreational activities for the city’s inhabitants.

Planning tip: After a swim, top up your energy levels at Nöa’h, a cute cafe nearby.

6. Amager Strand

Best beach for an active day out

With sand dunes and grassy lawns, the huge beach park on the island of Amager, about 5km southeast of the center, is a haven for nature lovers, as well as being a top spot for water-based activities such as paddleboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing and kayaking. The beach is easily reached from central Copenhagen on the metro, and if you’re here to swim, there are several platforms at different heights to jump off.

Amager’s long beach stretches for 4.6km, with views toward Sweden and the Øresund Bridge, which connects the two countries. Architecture lovers will want to swim at the Kastrup Sea Bath, which is shaped like a huge, curling wooden snail, hence its Danish nickname, Sneglen (Snail).

Planning tip: In winter, Amager Strand is a popular destination for ice swimming, with people taking a frosty dip at the Amager Helgoland bathhouse. For summertime windsurfing and kitesurfing lessons, contact the Copenhagen Surf School, or try Kajakhotellet for kayak rentals and classes.

7. La Banchina

Best swimming spot in Christianshavn

Located in Christianshavn – a former industrial area that has evolved into an alternative enclave and one of the hippest areas of the city – the La Banchina snack shack is right on the water, luring locals all day long with its wooden swimming pier, delicious all-day dining, wine, beer and great coffee.

Banchina means “pier” in Italian, and a cool crowd of Copenhagen locals hang out on the wooden jetty, chatting and lolling in between dips in the cool harbor waters. If that sounds a little too cold for you, book a spot at La Banchina’s sauna, but be sure to book in advance.

10 best places to visit in September

September is a superb time to hit the road. The great shoulder season of travel offers prime conditions at an array of big-name destinations for food and drink, culture, relaxation or simply an incredible journey.

So laze on uncrowded Mediterranean beaches, venture through South American rainforests or explore incredible experiences in Central Asia because this list of the 10 best places to go in September 2026 has sun, wildlife, culture and everything in between around the world.

1. Isle Royale, Michigan, USA

Best for getting well and truly away from everyone

Isle Royale in Michigan is the least-visited national park in the USA‘s lower 48. It’s closed completely for almost half the year, and when it opens, it is accessible only via floatplane or passenger ferry. For visitors keen on a wilderness immersion by boat, by kayak or on foot, it’s well worth the effort.

The park is largely a wetland, made up of one large forest-swathed island and some 450 smaller ones jutting into Lake Superior. A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, it’s the realm of otters, moose, wolves, herons, hawks and loons.

September is less busy and less buggy than peak summer (July and August) but still warm enough to paddle, hike and wild camp.

There are 272km (169 miles) of trails, and kayakers can paddle the eastern shore’s bays and inland lakes – Malone Bay to McCargoe Cove makes a good multiday adventure.

2. Southwest Türkiye

Best for a final summer fling

As the northern hemisphere’s summer segues into fall, what could be more alluring than a last shot of sunshine on the tantalizingly named Turquoise Coast? Türkiye’s Mediterranean shore is much quieter in September once schools are back in session, but the water is still balmy, the air still warm and the historic sites – of which there are many to lure you off your lounger – are still open.

Where you head depends on your taste. Lagoonside Ölüdeniz is the top choice for paragliding. At Patara, combine swaths of golden sand with a hint of Christmas: this was the birthplace of St Nicholas (aka Santa). Or head for sleepy Çıralı, a protected area where sea turtles nest – from mid-September, you might see hatchlings emerge.

To really get away from it all, opt for the stretch of coast east of Alanya. It was once the refuge of pirates, but few foreign tourists make it here. The seaside resort of Kızkalesi has an authentically Turkish feel, plus fine beaches, caves to explore and an imposing 12th-century castle floating out at sea.

3. Namibia

Best for wildlife

Desert-dominated Namibia is a pretty arid place at the best of times. And September is the best of times – at least if you’ve come looking for the country’s big game.

Temperatures are on the up this month (those early safari wake-up calls are less chilly), but there likely hasn’t been a drop of rain for months, meaning thin vegetation and wildlife congregating at an ever-decreasing number of water sources. Spotting everything from elephants to the long-nosed elephant shrew, from cheetahs to rare black rhinos, becomes easy in these conditions, especially in areas such as Etosha National Park.

You don’t even need a guide: Etosha’s excellent road network makes a self-drive safari simple; just park next to a water hole and wait for the wildlife to arrive.

4. Guyana

Best for roaring waterfalls and rainforest wildlife

Guyana is an extraordinary land, where turtles nest on shell beaches, jaguars stalk the rainforest, giant otters frolic and huge harpy eagles soar over thundering waterfalls.

Its climate is also extraordinary, with multiple rainy seasons hitting the coast and interior at different times. September is a junction month, when most of the country is dry after heavy rains, making road travel easier and life more comfortable in general while the jungles are at their lushest.

The big-ticket attraction is Kaieteur Falls, which plummets 226m (741ft) in a single drop into the depths of the rainforest. Add to that the canopy walkway and wildlife of Iwokrama, ecolodges offering encounters with the Makushi Indigenous peoples, the otters of the Rupununi and the cowboys of vast Dadanawa Ranch and you have an epic adventure in the making.

5. Dublin, Ireland

Best for a taste of the city on the Liffey in the mellowest season

Dublin in September, often the sunniest month, sees a diminishing number of tourists after the crowds of July and August have dispersed. This city is many things to many people.

Yes, you’ll find lively pubs (and they deserve detailed examination), historic sights, humor and national pride, but Dublin is also a cultural powerhouse, boasting magnificent galleries and museums, notably Dublin Castle’s Chester Beatty Library, one of Europe’s finest. During September, Ireland‘s capital welcomes hundreds of arts performances during the 2-week Dublin Fringe Festival.

6. Altai Mountains, Mongolia

Best for learning about the skills and lifestyles of traditional eagle hunters

In the breathless Altai Mountains at the very center of the Asian landmass, four borders converge – this is where Russia, China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia lean in toward one another. And among those peaks in western Mongolia, Kazakh nomads maintain the ancient tradition of hunting with golden eagles – a legacy celebrated during festivals in Altai, Ülgii and Sagsai in September and October, when eagle hunters don customary garb and display their prowess with the majestic raptors.

During the festivals, dozens of hunters clad in animal skins, wearing huge fur-lined hats and colorfully embroidered clothes, demonstrate their skills between bouts of wrestling, archery contests, camel races and boisterous horseback goatskin tug-of-war.

This pleasantly cool, dry season is also ideal for exploring the mountains of Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, hiking between waterfalls, ancient petroglyphs and glistening lakes; either trek with Bactrian camels or ride Mongolian horses, bedding down in gers (yurts) as local people have for millennia.

7. Nova Scotia, Canada

Best for filling up in fall

The start of the season of mellow fruitfulness is ideal for a foodie tour around Nova Scotia, the most delicious of Canada‘s Maritime provinces.

First, seek out succulent seafood: try scallops from the Bay of Fundy (where summering whales may still be spotted), or eat a lobster roll by the beach (head to Barrington, the Lobster Capital of Canada).

Then as the harvest gets underway, sample local wines at boutique vineyards, from the Annapolis Valley’s Domaine de Grand Pré, the forerunner of Nova Scotian wine (open daily June to September), to Benjamin Bridge, which produces acclaimed fizz in the Gaspereau Valley.

And don’t forget the fruit: this month brings loads of blueberries and apples, which find their way into delicious pies provincewide.

8. Red Sea, Jordan

Best for diving into delectable waters

As the stifling heat of the summer begins to drop, things really heat up along Jordan‘s Red Sea coast.

September and October are among the best months to dive here, with the air temperature hot but bearable and the oh-so-clear water around a balmy 26°C (79°F) and jam-packed with activity: look out for eagle rays, moray eels, seahorses, turtles, lionfish and an array of other colorful fishes – over 510 species have been recorded.

There are 30-plus dive sites near Aqaba, most close to shore and many good for snorkeling too.

These range from shallow coral gardens to gaping canyons and shipwrecks, including that of the Cedar Pride, which sits at a depth of 7–25m (23–82ft). Diving courses are available in Aqaba and at resorts along the coast.

9. New Zealand

Best for ravishing views from the rails

With snow still sprinkled on the mountaintops but lambs cavorting in the fields, spring-green September can be a month of natural splendor in Aotearoa (New Zealand’s Māori language name), with few other tourists around.

If you’re worried the weather might still be a little cool and unpredictable, explore by Rail New Zealand’s scenic lines so you’re insulated from the chill and free to gaze out the window as the countryside glides by.

Start aboard the Northern Explorer, which connects Auckland and Wellington via fertile farmland, Tongariro’s volcanoes and the Raurimu Spiral – an impressive feat of rail engineering.

Take the ferry to the South Island, then pick up the Coastal Pacific to trace the shoreline from Picton to elegant Christchurch. Join the TranzAlpine to cross the Canterbury Plains and Southern Alps (via lofty Arthur’s Pass) and finish at Greymouth on the west coast.

10. Catalonia, Spain

Best for warm weather and natural adventures

While Barcelona is often used as a byword for overtourism, the surrounding area is a beacon of travel done well. 

Catalonia was the first region to obtain UNESCO’s Biosphere Sustainable tourism certification, in recognition of the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. That nature is certainly a lot of fun – nestled between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, Catalonia is a varied outdoor playground, perfect for exploring in not-too-hot September weather, with average highs of 25°C (77°F).

Water babies will love kayaking between the 500m-high (1640ft) walls of the Mont-rebei Gorge, paddling across the bird-flocked Ebro Delta (looking for autumn migrant birds) and rafting the wild Noguera Pallaresa river.

Landlubbers can hike amid the 200-odd lakes of Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, cycle the volcanic landscapes of La Garrotxa or climb the sheer rock faces of the Val d’Arran.

8 best places to visit in Slovenia in 2026

Bled Castle. Vladimka production/Shutterstock

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

For proof that good things come in small packages, one need only visit Slovenia. This Central European country packs breathtaking mountain scenery, lively coastal resorts, fashionable cities, crystal-clear lakes and rivers, and isolated villages into an area that can be driven across in around 3 hours.

Better still, because of its compact size, you can take in most or all of the top places to visit within the course of one trip. In the span of a few days, you can walk in the Alps, kayak a glacial waterway, visit some world-class winemaking regions and take a dip in the sea.

Don’t worry if you’re not able to name many cities, regions or landmarks in this stunning country. Slovenia – hiding in plain sight – is waiting to be explored.

To explore more about Slovenia and start planning your trip, download the Lonely Planet App.

1. Ljubljana

Best for architecture

All roads in Slovenia lead to the capital, and not just because it’s situated in the center of the country. Ljubljana buzzes with cycling residents, alternative culture and eclectic restaurants, museums and cafes. However, the setting alone is worth a visit – every square’s architecture reveals the city’s history in stone and eye-catching ornamentation.

Start your investigation at the fairy-tale Ljubljana Castle, an ancient hilltop fortification whose origins date back to the 12th century. You can either hike a short but steep path to the top or take the funicular. Once there, poke around old medieval rooms that have been preserved and take in attractions like the Exhibition of Slovenian History or the Museum of Puppetry.

Make your way to the Old Town to admire the main square, Prešernov Trg, and its baroque, salmon-pink 17th-century Franciscan Church of the Annunciation. Several buildings here sport beautiful art nouveau and secessionist facades from the early 20th century.

Fans of early modern architecture will want to scout out the works of native son Jože Plečnik, a gifted architect who bequeathed several breathtaking bridges and buildings to the city during the first half of the 20th century. Many of his creations, including the dazzling Triple Bridge and the interior of the National and University Library, are UNESCO sites.

Planning tip: Central Ljubljana is closed to car-vehicle traffic, so stow your car on arrival and walk or take public transportation. Within the center, walking is a delight. The main promenade follows the Ljubljanica River, which is lined by restaurants and cafes. Another popular pedestrian route threads its way through the atmospheric Old Town.

2. Lake Bled

Best for romance

Whether you know it or not, you’ve likely seen Lake Bled before. The image of a seemingly mythical church standing in the middle of a turquoise lake is Slovenia’s most iconic image. Even in two dimensions, this magical place pulls at your heartstrings. When you see it in person, with that special someone by your side, get ready for fireworks.

Begin with a sunrise walk around the lake, about 5km and almost entirely flat. Three footpaths signposted “Grad” lead toward Bled Castle; each one involves a climb, but it’s worth it for the views. Then visit magical, tiny Bled Island in the middle of the lake. Board a pletna, a wooden boat that resembles a Venetian gondola, and head over to climb the 99 stairs into the Church of the Assumption.

No romantic outing here is complete without an easy hike to Vintgar Gorge, around 4km from the center of town. Boardwalks and bridges take visitors on an intimate journey across the magical 1600m-long ravine.

Planning tip: Buy tickets for Vintgar Gorge in advance. Entry is staggered to protect the gorge; pets are also welcome with a special ticket.

3. Maribor

Best for history

Maribor could fit into several “best of” categories. Slovenia’s second-largest city anchors the country’s Podravska wine region and has a thriving gourmet scene, including some of the country’s best restaurants.

Plus, because it sits on the Drava River, it’s a hub for adventure activities like rafting, cycling and hiking. But Maribor is, at its heart, a treasure chest of historic layers.

Settled time and again during the Stone Age, the Celtic period and the Roman era, the modern city dates back to the Middle Ages. First, stop in at Maribor Castle, home of the regional museum, to get a historical overview; then explore the main medieval market square, Glavni Trg, where you’ll see the 16th-century town hall.

Take a seat to enjoy a glass of wine at the Old Vine House – the world’s oldest producing vine, at more than 400 years old, climbs the facade and still produces fruit. If you want to stretch your legs some more, hike 30 minutes to the 12th-century castle Piramida.

Planning tip: Two excellent restaurants to try are Hiša Denk and Restavracija Mak. Book a table well in advance, particularly during the high season.

4. Lake Bohinj

Best for local culture

For a small country, Slovenia presents a surprising amount of regional variation. The communities surrounding pristine Lake Bohinj – Slovenia’s largest natural lake, tucked into the Triglav National Park – truly lean into their regional identity. Makers produce everything from distinct dairy and cheese products to meats, honey, jam and even gin. To find the genuine article, look for the “Bohinjsko” (from Bohinj) label, signifying it’s locally produced.

Hike out into the rural hamlets north of the lake to learn more about local lifestyles. At the Alpine Dairy Farming Museum in Stara Fužina, exhibits explain how farm-to-table is more than just a dining trend – the locals are passionate about their heritage. Give in to the temptation to sip on whatever is handed to you and just listen.

Bohinj comes into its own in summer, when you can swim or sail on the lake and hike or bike into the national park. Once you’re ready to travel again, board the scenic Bohinj Railway and ride it from the station at Bohinjska Bistrica all the way to Italy.

Planning tip: Lake Bohinj is lovely in springtime, when the annual International Wild Flower Festival allows you to experience the region from the roots up.

5. Bovec

Best for outdoor adventure

At the edge of Triglav National Park, squeezed between the Julian Alps and the crystal-clear turquoise Soča River, Bovec is a haven for water-based activities. The frothy river, boasting unimaginable cerulean shades that come from the underlying bedrock itself, is just as stunning as you’ve heard, and neither picture nor rumor does it justice.

The best way to experience the river is to join a white water rafting or kayaking tour (they run from March to October). Canyoning – during which groups make their way down a mountain stream in a gorge with techniques like abseiling, climbing, sliding and jumping – is gaining ground too. Bovec offers zip-lining over the Julian Alps, with more than 3km of lines at the Adrenalin Park Bovec.

Planning tip: Several rafting companies have excursions for beginners and experts, including Nature’s Ways and Kayak Soča.

6. Karst

Best for caving

Slovenia’s Karst region, which takes its name from the area’s porous limestone foundations, is home to some of Europe’s largest cave systems. Two caves in particular, Postojna and Škocjan, stand out, but the region is riddled with dozens of underground attractions. Postojna Cave, one of the world’s largest, features unparalleled stalagmite and stalactite formations. Take a 1.5-hour tour that unveils 5km of the expansive cave. More than half the journey is covered by a cool electric underground train.

The immense complex of the Škocjan Caves, 20km southwest of Postojna, is, if anything, more spectacular. The entire system was created by the Reka River, which carved its way over the millennia through a gorge beneath Škocjan village.

Planning tip: Aside from underground treasures, the Karst’s deep green hills are rich in fruits, ruby-red teran wine, pršut (dry-cured ham) and lots of picturesque villages with old stone churches.

7. Piran

Best for the coast

Such is the bounty of Slovenia that you can play in the mountains in the morning and lounge on the beach in the afternoon. When that urge strikes, Piran is the spot to soak up the rays, splash in the Adriatic and discover a unique destination along the country’s 47km coastline.

Often called the most beautiful town along the Slovenian Adriatic, Piran predates the Romans but got its present look in the Middle Ages as part of the Venetian empire. Get a panoramic overview by climbing the stairs to the top of the bell tower, next to the 17th-century baroque Cathedral of St George. From here, you’ll be able to see three countries at once.

Come down from your perch to Tartinijev Trg, the town’s nerve center, before heading to the Mediadom Pyrhani for its multimedia take on Piran’s history. But don’t forget the reason you’ve come – a 15-minute walk takes you to Fiesa Beach for your cooling plunge into the sea.

Planning tip: The nearby Strunjan Landscape Park, east of Piran, offers two secluded (and harder-to-reach) beaches: Moon Bay and Bele Skale.

8. Goriška Brda

Best for wine

Straddling the Italian border, Goriška Brda (or simply Brda) is an absolute charmer: rolling hills lined with grapevines and sun-kissed orchards topped with small settlements and churches.

The area is one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. From one of the many perched villages scattered across the fertile hillsides, you’ll see a seemingly endless expanse of vineyards disappearing over the horizon.

A paradise for cyclists, the hills of Goriška Brda have dozens of scenic trails that are great for exploring on two wheels.

Wineries to look out for include Klet Brda, the largest wine producer in Slovenia, with a well-stocked wine shop at its Dobrovo estate and excellent daily tours; Vinoteka Brda; and Edi Simčič, a third-generation family estate with tastings almost every day.

Planning tip: Like elsewhere in Slovenia, most local wine producers require visitors to call or book ahead to arrange a tasting.

Chic shops, world-class restaurants and deluxe hotels make it easy to take a getaway to cosmopolitan Mexico City over the top, cost-wise. Yet the city’s heart resides far from its ritziest districts – and it’s very possible to have a marvelous time here on a tight budget. Indeed, you can enjoy much of what makes Mexico City so memorable for no cost at all.

Free experiences range from first-rate museums and inspiring public art to invigorating nature walks and live music. What’s more, you won’t pay much to get around town – at a mere 5 Mexican pesos a ride, the metro is one of the world’s great transport steals.

Here are the best free things to do in Mexico City.

1. Queue to see the Rivera murals at the Palacio Nacional

Mexico’s imposing presidential residence takes up one side the Zócalo, the core of the capital of Mexico, and of the Aztec capital before that. The complex also houses dazzling Diego Rivera murals – dramatic renderings that visually narrate the nation’s most transformative class struggles, from the brutal Spanish conquest up to the 20th-century post-revolutionary period.

The National Palace is also home to the Museo Nacional de las Culturas, a free museum that exhibits the art, dress and handicrafts of the world’s cultures.

Planning tip: You can’t reserve a spot to visit the Palacio Nacional; for the best chance of gaining entrance, we recommend arriving at 9am to queue for a first entrance at 10am.

You’ll need to show your passport and go through a security check to enter the building. Since this is a working government building, hours can change and visiting hours can be suspended on short notice.

2. Take a stroll through Bosque de Chapultepec

For a free day of urban leisure, join countless chilangos (Mexico City residents) in Chapultepec Park’s 1700 acres of wooded grounds. Here you can gaze at Diego Rivera’s larger-than-life mosaic sculpture of the rain god Tlalóc, stroll through a botanical garden (free to enter) with rare orchids and marvel at the Voladores de Papantla (Papantla Flyers) as they enact a high-flying rainmaking ritual in front of the world-class Anthropology Museum (which requires a paid ticket to enter).

You can also just pack a torta (sandwich) and plop down for a few hours in a grassy picnic area below the imposing Chapultepec Castle.

3. Explore Mexico City on two wheels

Riding a bike in the chaotic capital can feel like an adventure sport at times – except on Sundays, when the broad, tree-lined Avenida Paseo de la Reforma is closed to traffic from 8am to 2pm. Expect a relatively carefree ride between Chapultepec Park and the city’s Centro Histórico.

“Bicigratis” kiosks near the Angel of Independence, Chapultepec Park’s Anthropology Museum, and several booths dotting the Roma, Condesa and Centro Histórico neighborhoods, loan free bikes that you can take out for 3 hours if you leave a passport or driver’s license with the operator.

Planning tip: The free bikes are on a first-come, first serve basis, so you may miss out. Poray Bikes on Paseo de la Reforma offers hourly rentals and bilingual guides.

4. Hike the city’s highest peak at Parque Nacional Cumbres del Ajusco

Mexico City, a hiking destination? You should never underestimate the capital’s capacity to surprise. For an exhilarating climb up the city’s highest peak, head for the fragrant pine forest of Cumbres del Ajusco National Park.

The hike to Pico del Aguila will take you to the summit of an extinct volcano range that affords expansive views of the Valley of Mexico.

Planning tip: Try to visit on a weekday, when the park has far fewer guests.

5. Go on at art crawl at Museo Jumex and Museo Soumaya

The exhibits and architectural styles of these adjacent museums in the affluent Polanco district – both of them free to enter – couldn’t be more different. On one end of Plaza Carso, Museo Jumex showcases contemporary art and exhibitions from leading creators in an austerely geometric building, by architect David Chipperfield, seemingly made of children’s blocks.

Just across the plaza, you can’t miss the shiny Museo Soumaya, an undulating six-story structure plated with 16,000 hexagonal aluminum tiles. The free museum exhibits the art collection of Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim – a hit-or-miss affair featuring lesser-known works by such renowned artists as Picasso, Van Gogh and Dalí, and a considerable number of Rodin sculptures.

6. Experience the underground scene at Tianguis Cultural del Chopo

And you thought punk was dead. Well, it’s very much alive and kicking at the Saturday flea market fondly known as El Chopo.

Every week, mohawked punks, tatted headbangers and avid stoners gather at this tianguis (outdoor market) to browse for cult videos, rare music and vintage clothing as young-and-hungry bands jam on the market’s rear stage. It’s a cool spot to tap into the city’s underground scene and get word of live-music events.

Planning tip: Keep an eye on your bag, for pickpockets are known to target music fans who are focused on the band.

7. Take a self-guided tour of the historic city center

With more than 1500 historic buildings, some as old as the city itself, downtown’s Centro Histórico – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – offers a crash course in Mexico’s past. Start your stroll by contemplating the ancient ruins of Templo Mayor, a sacred temple that once stood at the heart of the Aztec Empire.

Next, take in the colonial architecture on the nearby Zócalo. The ornate cathedral and presidential palace that frame the plaza were constructed some 500 years ago by Spanish colonizers using stones they’d stolen from destroyed Aztec buildings.

After that, wander a half dozen blocks west to Alameda Central, the oldest urban park in the Americas. On the Alameda’s east side, send off a postcard in the Palacio Postal, whose interior is a confection of wrought iron and gilt.

Planning tip: You don’t need to buy a ticket to visit the Templo Mayor ruins and museum (though we recommend it): the site is visible through a viewing fence next to the cathedral.

8. Make a pilgrimage to the Basílica de Guadalupe

Legend has it that in 1531, the Virgin Mary appeared four times to a peasant named Juan Diego up on a sacred hill near the present-day Basílica de Guadalupe.

According to Juan Diego’s account, after the last sighting, her image was miraculously emblazoned on his cloak – which now hangs behind the church’s main altar (and can be seen from a surreal moving walkway looking up from underneath).

Since the Virgin of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico (and all of the Americas, in fact), the basilica is one of the world’s most important Catholic pilgrimage sites, meaning crowds of believers always throng the plaza outside the huge modern church.

Things reach a peak on December 12, when up to a million visitors arrive for the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

9. Listen to free music in Plaza Garibaldi

It doesn’t cost a thing to stand in the background and listen to the hired musicians working the crowds at Plaza Garibaldi, Mexico City’s famed mariachi square. While mariachi ensembles take center stage, you’ll also hear regional musicians belting out classics, such as white-clad son jarocho trios hailing from Veracruz and accordion-driven norteño bands from northern Mexico.

Planning tip: The atmospheric plaza really comes to life at night. Although the square itself is considered relatively safe, avoid exploring Garibaldi’s dodgy periphery after dark.

10. See how the city is slowly sinking

Mexico City is sinking rapidly, due mostly to excessive groundwater extraction. Experts estimate that some areas of the city sink as much as 51cm (20 inches) a year as the water table continues to drop.

You can see a stark illustration of this alarming phenomenon at the Catedral Metropolitana, where the floor slopes visibly toward the front of the nave. One block east is the free-to-enter Ex Teresa Arte Actual museum, a former convent with wildly inclined floors. Even the Angel of Independence monument on Avenida Reforma, yet another important landmark, requires regular repairs due to ongoing sinking and earthquakes.

North of the Caribbean but tucked far away from other shores in the North Atlantic, Bermuda has the type of relaxed, joyful approach to life that will make you never want to leave.

These islands are surrounded by the calm Sargasso Sea – the only sea in the world without a land border – and boast a stunning sweep of sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, jewel-blue waters and pastel-colored houses fringed by fragrant frangipani and bougainvillea.

And don’t forget those legendary pink-sand beaches. Come here for the tiny secluded coves and long sandy stretches framed by dramatic cliff formations and stay for the kind of tropical beauty that feels like a fairy tale.

Here are the beaches you can’t afford to miss in Bermuda.

1. Elbow Beach

Best beach for calm waters

A mile-long stretch of white sand lined with palm trees and home to three of Bermuda’s most exclusive resorts, Elbow Beach is the closest to the island’s busy cruise ship port.

Just a short ride from the city of Hamilton, the beach is predictably popular, with lots of places to grab a Dark ‘n’ Stormy cocktail, one of Bermuda’s signature drinks.

A protective barrier formed by offshore reefs keeps the waters calm, and impromptu beach parties take place here during spring break when the beach is at its busiest.

Planning tip: Elbow Beach attracts active travelers with a range of water sports, from snorkeling and kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding. Divers can investigate the wreck of the cargo steamer Pollokshields, which sank offshore in 1915.

2. Astwood Cove

Best beach for solitude

Accessed via a steep, winding trail from Astwood Park, this intimate sandy cove surrounded by jagged limestone cliffs is a spot you’ll likely have all to yourself.

Eroded boulders jut out from the sand, and there’s decent snorkeling around the rocks just offshore. Enjoy sweeping ocean vistas from the park above the cove, with parking for easy access and picnic tables beneath the trees.

3. Warwick Long Bay

Best beach for a long stretch of sand

The star of Bermuda’s South Shore, Warwick Long Bay is the island’s longest beach – a half-mile stretch of pink sand, backed by sand dunes and cedar trees and shielded from the Atlantic waves by an offshore reef.

Come here to swim with blue angelfish, parrotfish, trumpetfish and other reef inhabitants. Snorkeling equipment is available for hire from beachside concession stands during the summer.

Planning tip: Warwick Long Bay gets crowded on weekends; for a quieter experience, check out the many coves just west of the beach, accessible via a coastal trail through the dunes.

4. Horseshoe Bay

Best beach for beautiful views

If there’s such a thing as a perfect beach, then this long sweep of pink-white sand could well be it.

Arguably one of the top beaches in the world and certainly one of the most popular beaches in Bermuda, Horseshoe Bay is well worth visiting early in the morning (before anyone else arrives) to catch the sunrise from one of the rock formations, bookending the beach.

The northern side of the beach gets rather busy with sun loungers and cruise ship passengers, while the southern side is quieter.

You can rent snorkeling equipment and beach umbrellas, and there are usually lifeguards on duty during the May to October peak season. The bar above the beach serves burgers and other snacks.

Planning tip: If the main beach is busy, enclosed Horseshoe Bay Cove, just south of the main beach, has particularly calm waters. It’s ideal for small children, and the caves in the limestone cliff provide a natural playground for older kids.

5. Jobson’s Cove

Best beach for proposals

If you were going to propose to your significant other in Bermuda, you’d probably do it here, at the prettiest of the island’s many pink-sand coves.

Surrounded by a horseshoe of jagged volcanic rock formations, the waters at Jobson’s Cove are deep, clear, calm, and good for snorkelers as well as bathers.

The nearest facilities are several minutes’ walk east through the dunes on Warwick Long Bay.

6. Church Bay

Best beach for snorkeling

Rated the top beach in Bermuda for underwater wonders, this small pink-sand beach and its aquarium-like waters attract snorkelers in droves.

Bring your own gear, or rent a mask and snorkel from one of the beachside concession stands, then float out to the reef to see why Bermuda is known as the parrotfish capital of the world. The deep water makes this beach less suitable for younger kids.

7. West Whale Bay

Best beach for privacy

Looking for privacy? Romantic seclusion is the big draw at this small pink-sand beach on Bermuda’s west side, just below Whale Bay Park. West Whale Bay is fringed by coastal pines, and relatively few people venture here.

From March to April, it’s also an excellent place for spotting pods of humpback whales as they migrate from the Caribbean to their summer feeding grounds near Greenland and Iceland. Bring binoculars and keep watch from the top of the cliffs to spot breaching leviathans.

8. Somerset Long Bay Beach & Daniel’s Head Beach

Best beaches for water activities

Just north of the town of Somerset, these two crescent-shaped beaches are relatively isolated and offer a welcome escape from crowds.

While the waters are sometimes choppy and not ideal for swimming, both beaches attract kitesurfers when the wind conditions are right.

Daniel’s Head Beach has water sports centers renting out snorkeling gear, glass-bottom kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.

Planning tip: Snorkelers may wish to check out the shipwreck of the HMS Vixen, a former British navy ship lying just offshore and best reached by boat.

9. Shelly Bay Beach

Best beach for families

Together with Smith’s Parish, Hamilton Parish forms a ring of land around the saltwater lagoon of Harrington Sound. Shelly Bay Beach, partially shaded by palm trees on Bermuda’s north shore, is the only beach to speak of in the parish, but it’s a great stop with kids in tow.

Quiet on weekdays, it tends to get busy with families at weekends, as its waters are shallow and calm even at high tide.

Nearby, a park with a playground and picnic tables is a favorite for alfresco lunches and football and cricket games. One of Bermuda’s best hikes, the Railway Trail, can also be picked up from Shelly Bay.

Planning tip: If you’re traveling with kids, swing by the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo at Flatt’s Village on the way, or take a guided tour of the dramatic stalactites and stalagmites at the Crystal and Fantasy caves, both a short drive away in Hamilton parish.

10. Tobacco Bay

Best beach for colorful reef fish

On the northern shore of St George’s Island and accessible on foot or by bus from the Unesco World Heritage-listed town of St George’s, this appealing, sheltered bay is one of Bermuda’s top spots for snorkeling.

The offshore reefs between Tobacco Bay and Achilles Bay teem with shoals of colorful reef fish, and it’s also a good spot for paddleboarding and kayaking.

Planning tip: You can make a day of it at Tobacco Bay. Waterfront kiosks have paddleboards, kayaks and snorkeling equipment for hire, while the bay’s eponymous restaurant serves burgers and other light bites. Come here on summer evenings for live music.

11. St Catherine’s Beach

Best beach for history

Flanked by a row of palm trees at Bermuda’s northernmost tip, this small, quiet beach lets you combine sunbathing on the sand with some local history – a visit to Fort St Catherine, built in the early 17th century.

Bermuda’s largest naval fortress houses a worthwhile museum that displays artifacts from the 1600s onwards, and you can climb its towers and wander through its tunnels to get a sense of the island’s maritime past.

12. Clearwater Beach

Best beach for small children

You’ll find Clearwater Beach – a long stretch of powdery white sand – just south of the international airport, sharing a peninsula with Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve.

The shallow, calm waters are family friendly, and the park behind the beach features a kids’ playground, several nature trails and vistas of Castle Island.

Planning tip: Over the headland, Turtle Bay is a smaller sandy cove with a lifeguard on duty in summer, while the nature reserve, a few minutes’ walk south, is home to nesting loggerhead turtles and numerous species of tropical birds.

13. Long Bay Beach

Best beach for bare essentials

In the middle of Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve, near the tip of the peninsula, this secluded sandy beach is accessible via a dirt trail from Clearwater Beach car park.

There are no facilities here, just teal waters, very little shade, and pink-white sand you’re likely to enjoy in complete solitude.

A short stroll south takes you to Cooper’s Island Wildlife Observation Tower. Scale it for expansive views of the coastline, occasional whale sightings and displays on the US Air Force and NASA base that used to occupy this piece of land.

14. John Smith’s Bay

Best beach for nature lovers

Popular with local families due to its shallow, limpid blue waters and bathroom and changing facilities, John Smith’s Bay is a compact, half-moon of pale pink sand.

From May to September, there’s a lifeguard on duty – an additional bonus for families – and the surrounding park is ideal for picnicking.

Planning tip: Nature lovers can visit Spittal Pond Nature Reserve, a 10-minute walk west along the shore. Walking trails through its marshlands, freshwater ponds and woodlands offer sightings of herons, hawks and several species of wading birds.

For one of the most beautiful stretches of Mediterranean coastline, with glittering islands, wonderfully well-preserved medieval towns, pristine national parks and fabulous cuisine, head to Croatia.

Starting in Zagreb and ending in Dubrovnik, this seven-day itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors. You’ll explore the Croatian capital as well as UNESCO World Heritage-listed old towns on the Dalmatian coast, hopping on a catamaran or ferry between exquisite islands along the way.

We’ve included some gorgeous beaches, breathtaking architecture, delicious food and wine, some outstanding museums, and sunsets to swoon over. What are you waiting for?

• When to arrive: Late spring and early fall are great times to visit Croatia, thanks to pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds. However, for the smoothest connections out to the islands, you’ll want to visit Croatia in the high-season months of June to August, when ferries are running the most frequently.

• How to get to/from the airports: It is a 40-minute bus ride from Zagreb’s airport into the city center bus station and tickets can be bought online or from the driver. Taxis are available outside the terminal. In Dubrovnik, jump on the airport shuttle bus at the main bus station, Grawe station, at the Old Town cable car stop or outside One Suite hotel. Buy tickets at the stops or online.

• What to pack: Swimming shoes are highly recommended for beach visits. It is not acceptable to walk around beach towns in your swimwear, so be sure to pack non-beach clothes. Include some smarter outfits for evenings out and clothes that will cover bare shoulders and thighs when visiting religious sites.

Before heading to Croatia’s world-famous coast, spend a day exploring the capital city of Zagreb. Dreamer4787 / Getty Images

Day 1: start your week in Zagreb

Many Croatian itineraries just stick to the coast and islands – but missing the Croatian capital would mean you’re really only seeing half the country. Zagreb has excellent museums and galleries to visit, fabulous bars, cafes and restaurants, and a beautifully preserved old city center filled with Secessionist-style architecture.

How to spend the day: Start with a walking tour of the Upper Town (Gornji grad), which centers on the iconic St Mark’s Church.

Don’t miss the excellent (and unique!) Museum of Broken Relationships. Then head downhill and visit the big open market and the beautiful Gothic cathedral. From bustling Ban Jelačić Square, wander through the parks and squares that run down toward the main railway station.

Take a break: When you feel like a coffee or a drink head along Tkalčićeva, a narrow, pedestrianized street teeming with vibrant cafes.

Day 2: watch the sunset from the waterfront in Zadar

Morning: Take an early bus to Zadar, around a 3.5-hour journey down to the coast. If you’re driving on your own, consider stopping at the unforgettable Plitvice Lakes National Park on the way.

How to spend the day: Zadar’s old town is a beautiful cluster of narrow streets and medieval churches, all arranged along a narrow peninsula with jaw-dropping sunsets from its waterfront. Visit the Cathedral of St Anastasia and the distinctive Church of St Donatus, beside the Roman Forum.

Take a break: Stop for an ice cream, or sit on the seafront by the remarkable Sea Organ (a quayside stone “instrument” that makes haunting noises powered by the tide), as you admire the view over to the islands.

Dinner: Before settling in for a standout dinner at Foša, which serves top-notch seafood and has a lovely waterside terrace (bookings advised), watch the sunset from the Greetings to the Sun installation on the waterfront.

Day 3: soak up the atmosphere in Split

Morning: It’s around 2.5 hours by bus to your base for the next couple of nights: Split, a coastal city with incredible architecture and popping nightlife.

How to spend the day: The lively heart of Split is Diocletian’s Palace. This UNESCO World Heritage site was built in the 4th century as a truly magnificent retirement palace for the Roman emperor Diocletian.

The complex is packed with hundreds of buildings that have been added throughout the ages and today is home to around 3000 people. Start your sightseeing here and don’t worry about getting lost – that’s half the fun.

Find your way to the center of the palace to admire the well-preserved colonnaded Roman Peristil (courtyard), and the octagonal Cathedral of St Domnius, which was originally Diocletian’s mausoleum.

Below ground, the palace’s substructures are a wonderfully atmospheric place to explore. Don’t be surprised if you get the feeling dragons might be lurking: when filming Game of Thrones, these substructures stood in for the home of Daenerys’s… er… children.

Dinner: You’ll find plenty of cafes, restaurants and bars in the old city for when you start to feel peckish. Nostromo, across from the fish market, is one of the best places to enjoy fresh Adriatic seafood.

In the evening, take a stroll and grab a drink on the city’s Riva waterfront promenade.

Day 4: relax on the iconic Zlatni Rat beach near Bol

Morning: Take a fast catamaran from Split to Bol on Brač Island. This pretty little town is most famous for Zlatni Rat beach, a glorious spur of smooth white pebbles and shingle that extends 500m (1640ft) straight out into the Adriatic, reached by a mile-long stroll along a pine-shaded waterfront promenade.

How to spend the day: The beach is hugely popular, and is also a great spot for windsurfing thanks to its steady winds. For astounding views across to Hvar and beyond, take a two-hour hike up to Vidova Gora. At 778m (2552ft), this is the highest point in the Adriatic Islands. Don’t forget to take water, sunscreen and a sun hat, as there’s virtually no shade on the trail up.

In the evening: If you have time in the evening, take a local bus to see UNESCO-listed Trogir and its amazing 13th-century cathedral.

Planning tip: If you’re traveling outside of high season, you can’t get to Bol via direct catamaran because they only run from June to September.

But no worries: you can take the regular ferry from Split to Supetar and then the bus across the island to Bol – just allow enough time on the way back, as the bus sometimes gets stuck in traffic waiting for the ferry outside Supetar.

Day 5: chill out in Hvar Town, and explore Korčula’s old town

Morning: In high season (June to September) you have several choices of catamaran when traveling from Split to Korčula Town.

It’s easy enough to stop off at Hvar Town, the glittering capital of Hvar Island, for some chill-out time on the way. (Note that catamarans between Split, Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik in the summer do get fully booked up, so make sure you buy your tickets in advance. )

How to spend the day: Hvar Town is one of the most glamorous spots in Croatia, famous for a vibrant nightlife scene combined with historic architecture in a stunning setting. Wander the narrow streets of the old town past pretty churches and squares; if you fancy a swim, take a boat ride out to the Pakleni Islands.

Then take an afternoon catamaran to Korčula – or if you fall in love with Hvar and can’t bear to leave, count on taking a catamaran direct to Dubrovnik the next day.

Korčula Town is a picture-perfect walled settlement on a boat-shaped peninsula jutting into the Adriatic. Tightly clustered within a ring of walls and towers, the old town centers on the 15th-century St Mark’s Cathedral, which houses artworks by Tintoretto and Ivan Meštrović.

The island is known for its wine; sample some at one of the wine bars in the lanes near the harbor.

Dinner: There are plenty of choices for food and drink in Hvar Town. Macondo on the harbor serves fresh-off-the-boat fish and steaks stuffed with seasonal and local ingredients like olives.

Your first glimpse of the walled city of Dubrovnik might just take your breath away. Vasylisa Dvoichenkova/Shutterstock

Day 6: prepare to be wowed by Dubrovnik’s old town

Morning: Catamarans run from Korčula Town to Dubrovnik in high season (June to September), but at other times of year you should catch a car ferry from Dominče to Orebić (on the Pelješac Peninsula) and continue to Dubrovnik by bus.

Your first glimpse of Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-listed old town – its magnificent white limestone walls standing proud above the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea – will take your breath away.

You’ll want to spend at least two days exploring this remarkable city and its surroundings.

How to spend the day: Wander the marble streets within the walls, stopping by the city’s various palaces, churches and museums. It’s best to walk the walls first thing in the morning, so keep them for the next day if you’ve just arrived from Korčula.

The War Photo Limited gallery is a particularly powerful experience, with a permanent collection of images from the war in former Yugoslavia, as well as temporary exhibits on other worldwide conflicts.

Dinner: Join locals at the taverna-style Glorijet by the water for a hearty seafood meal or try Nishta with its creative vegan and vegetarian menu that makes the most of Croatia’s abundance of fresh produce.

In the evening: Finish your day with a cable car ride up Mt Srđ, which rises directly behind the old town, to watch the sunset glint off the rooftops, then dip into the Adriatic.

You could head out from Dubrovnik to nearby Lokrum island for a swim. trabantos/Shutterstock

Day 7: walk the city walls of Dubrovnik, and head to Lokrum for a swim

Morning: Start your second day in Dubrovnik with a walk around the top of the old city walls; it’s best to go as soon as they open to avoid the crowds.

This is the classic Dubrovnik experience, and it will take you at least a couple of hours to check out all the various towers, taking in views of the old town rooftops and glittering Adriatic on the way.

How to spend the day: In the afternoon you should have time to head out of town for a refreshing swim, either on Lokrum Island, a 10-minute ferry ride away, or at one of the local beaches.

In the evening: Bring your journey to a close with a sunset drink at one of the tiny bars on the rocks outside Dubrovnik’s city walls.

The nearest facilities are several minutes’ walk east through the dunes on Warwick Long Bay.

6. Church Bay

Best beach for snorkeling

Rated the top beach in Bermuda for underwater wonders, this small pink-sand beach and its aquarium-like waters attract snorkelers in droves.

Bring your own gear, or rent a mask and snorkel from one of the beachside concession stands, then float out to the reef to see why Bermuda is known as the parrotfish capital of the world. The deep water makes this beach less suitable for younger kids.

7. West Whale Bay

Best beach for privacy

Looking for privacy? Romantic seclusion is the big draw at this small pink-sand beach on Bermuda’s west side, just below Whale Bay Park. West Whale Bay is fringed by coastal pines, and relatively few people venture here.

From March to April, it’s also an excellent place for spotting pods of humpback whales as they migrate from the Caribbean to their summer feeding grounds near Greenland and Iceland. Bring binoculars and keep watch from the top of the cliffs to spot breaching leviathans.

8. Somerset Long Bay Beach & Daniel’s Head Beach

Best beaches for water activities

Just north of the town of Somerset, these two crescent-shaped beaches are relatively isolated and offer a welcome escape from crowds.

While the waters are sometimes choppy and not ideal for swimming, both beaches attract kitesurfers when the wind conditions are right.

Daniel’s Head Beach has water sports centers renting out snorkeling gear, glass-bottom kayaks and stand-up paddleboards.

Planning tip: Snorkelers may wish to check out the shipwreck of the HMS Vixen, a former British navy ship lying just offshore and best reached by boat.

9. Shelly Bay Beach

Best beach for families

Together with Smith’s Parish, Hamilton Parish forms a ring of land around the saltwater lagoon of Harrington Sound. Shelly Bay Beach, partially shaded by palm trees on Bermuda’s north shore, is the only beach to speak of in the parish, but it’s a great stop with kids in tow.

Quiet on weekdays, it tends to get busy with families at weekends, as its waters are shallow and calm even at high tide.

Nearby, a park with a playground and picnic tables is a favorite for alfresco lunches and football and cricket games. One of Bermuda’s best hikes, the Railway Trail, can also be picked up from Shelly Bay.

Planning tip: If you’re traveling with kids, swing by the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo at Flatt’s Village on the way, or take a guided tour of the dramatic stalactites and stalagmites at the Crystal and Fantasy caves, both a short drive away in Hamilton parish.

10. Tobacco Bay

Best beach for colorful reef fish

On the northern shore of St George’s Island and accessible on foot or by bus from the Unesco World Heritage-listed town of St George’s, this appealing, sheltered bay is one of Bermuda’s top spots for snorkeling.

The offshore reefs between Tobacco Bay and Achilles Bay teem with shoals of colorful reef fish, and it’s also a good spot for paddleboarding and kayaking.

Planning tip: You can make a day of it at Tobacco Bay. Waterfront kiosks have paddleboards, kayaks and snorkeling equipment for hire, while the bay’s eponymous restaurant serves burgers and other light bites. Come here on summer evenings for live music.

11. St Catherine’s Beach

Best beach for history

Flanked by a row of palm trees at Bermuda’s northernmost tip, this small, quiet beach lets you combine sunbathing on the sand with some local history – a visit to Fort St Catherine, built in the early 17th century.

Bermuda’s largest naval fortress houses a worthwhile museum that displays artifacts from the 1600s onwards, and you can climb its towers and wander through its tunnels to get a sense of the island’s maritime past.

12. Clearwater Beach

Best beach for small children

You’ll find Clearwater Beach – a long stretch of powdery white sand – just south of the international airport, sharing a peninsula with Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve.

The shallow, calm waters are family friendly, and the park behind the beach features a kids’ playground, several nature trails and vistas of Castle Island.

Planning tip: Over the headland, Turtle Bay is a smaller sandy cove with a lifeguard on duty in summer, while the nature reserve, a few minutes’ walk south, is home to nesting loggerhead turtles and numerous species of tropical birds.

13. Long Bay Beach

Best beach for bare essentials

In the middle of Cooper’s Island Nature Reserve, near the tip of the peninsula, this secluded sandy beach is accessible via a dirt trail from Clearwater Beach car park.

There are no facilities here, just teal waters, very little shade, and pink-white sand you’re likely to enjoy in complete solitude.

A short stroll south takes you to Cooper’s Island Wildlife Observation Tower. Scale it for expansive views of the coastline, occasional whale sightings and displays on the US Air Force and NASA base that used to occupy this piece of land.

14. John Smith’s Bay

Best beach for nature lovers

Popular with local families due to its shallow, limpid blue waters and bathroom and changing facilities, John Smith’s Bay is a compact, half-moon of pale pink sand.

From May to September, there’s a lifeguard on duty – an additional bonus for families – and the surrounding park is ideal for picnicking.

Planning tip: Nature lovers can visit Spittal Pond Nature Reserve, a 10-minute walk west along the shore. Walking trails through its marshlands, freshwater ponds and woodlands offer sightings of herons, hawks and several species of wading birds.

North of the Caribbean but tucked far away from other shores in the North Atlantic, Bermuda has the type of relaxed, joyful approach to life that will make you never want to leave.

These islands are surrounded by the calm Sargasso Sea – the only sea in the world without a land border – and boast a stunning sweep of sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, jewel-blue waters and pastel-colored houses fringed by fragrant frangipani and bougainvillea.

And don’t forget those legendary pink-sand beaches. Come here for the tiny secluded coves and long sandy stretches framed by dramatic cliff formations and stay for the kind of tropical beauty that feels like a fairy tale.

Here are the beaches you can’t afford to miss in Bermuda.

1. Elbow Beach

Best beach for calm waters

A mile-long stretch of white sand lined with palm trees and home to three of Bermuda’s most exclusive resorts, Elbow Beach is the closest to the island’s busy cruise ship port.

Just a short ride from the city of Hamilton, the beach is predictably popular, with lots of places to grab a Dark ‘n’ Stormy cocktail, one of Bermuda’s signature drinks.

A protective barrier formed by offshore reefs keeps the waters calm, and impromptu beach parties take place here during spring break when the beach is at its busiest.

Planning tip: Elbow Beach attracts active travelers with a range of water sports, from snorkeling and kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding. Divers can investigate the wreck of the cargo steamer Pollokshields, which sank offshore in 1915.

2. Astwood Cove

Best beach for solitude

Accessed via a steep, winding trail from Astwood Park, this intimate sandy cove surrounded by jagged limestone cliffs is a spot you’ll likely have all to yourself.

Eroded boulders jut out from the sand, and there’s decent snorkeling around the rocks just offshore. Enjoy sweeping ocean vistas from the park above the cove, with parking for easy access and picnic tables beneath the trees.

3. Warwick Long Bay

Best beach for a long stretch of sand

The star of Bermuda’s South Shore, Warwick Long Bay is the island’s longest beach – a half-mile stretch of pink sand, backed by sand dunes and cedar trees and shielded from the Atlantic waves by an offshore reef.

Come here to swim with blue angelfish, parrotfish, trumpetfish and other reef inhabitants. Snorkeling equipment is available for hire from beachside concession stands during the summer.

Planning tip: Warwick Long Bay gets crowded on weekends; for a quieter experience, check out the many coves just west of the beach, accessible via a coastal trail through the dunes.

4. Horseshoe Bay

Best beach for beautiful views

If there’s such a thing as a perfect beach, then this long sweep of pink-white sand could well be it.

Arguably one of the top beaches in the world and certainly one of the most popular beaches in Bermuda, Horseshoe Bay is well worth visiting early in the morning (before anyone else arrives) to catch the sunrise from one of the rock formations, bookending the beach.

The northern side of the beach gets rather busy with sun loungers and cruise ship passengers, while the southern side is quieter.

You can rent snorkeling equipment and beach umbrellas, and there are usually lifeguards on duty during the May to October peak season. The bar above the beach serves burgers and other snacks.

Planning tip: If the main beach is busy, enclosed Horseshoe Bay Cove, just south of the main beach, has particularly calm waters. It’s ideal for small children, and the caves in the limestone cliff provide a natural playground for older kids.

5. Jobson’s Cove

Best beach for proposals

If you were going to propose to your significant other in Bermuda, you’d probably do it here, at the prettiest of the island’s many pink-sand coves.

Surrounded by a horseshoe of jagged volcanic rock formations, the waters at Jobson’s Cove are deep, clear, calm, and good for snorkelers as well as bathers.

The nearest facilities are several minutes’ walk east through the dunes on Warwick Long Bay.

İn Costa Rica, misty northern mountains blanket the highlands, while dreamy beaches and dense forests line the Pacific coast. The capital city of San José keeps it cool with museums, indie cafés and trendy bars, while the Caribbean side is lined with laid-back surf towns where you can find coconut-infused everything. Planning a trip to this idyllic Central American country is a bit like shooting fish in a barrel; no matter where you start, something good is sure to follow.

Whether you’re chasing waterfalls, spotting sloths or hunting down the perfect spot to hang your hammock and drop into a yoga sequence, these four itineraries make the most of any time spent in Costa Rica.

1. A catch-all route with country highlights

Allow at least 10 days
Distance: 600km (373 miles)

Left: A street scene in San José, Costa Rica. Right: Buildings in San José, Costa Rica. David Cabrera for Lonely Planet (2)

If it’s your first trip to Costa Rica, hit the country’s most famous destinations in a little more than a week. Touch down in the edgy, artsy capital; explore the wilds and spy on creatures in both the rain and the cloud forests; finish up with some well-earned beach time.

San José: 2 days

Don’t sleep on San José; the capital has plenty to offer. Any great day in the city starts with a traditional breakfast at Mercado Central and a visit to the Teatro Nacional, before stopping for a caffeine fix at La Mancha. Spend an afternoon learning about pre-Columbian history at the Museo del Jade, and then stroll along Calle 33 in Barrio Escalante for dinner at a bistro and drinks at one of the many trendy bars.

Next stop: Drive from San José to Tortuguero (2 hours and 45 minutes)

Tortuguero: 1 day

Journey up to the Caribbean coast to the tiny village of Tortuguero and eponymous national park, to cruise the jungle-drenched canals in search of sloths, crocs, caimans, manatees, monkeys and more. Venture out after dark to witness the incredible ritual of sea turtle reproduction, including (if you’re lucky) the scramble to the sea by newly hatched tortuguitas.

Insider tip: Hire a guide from the Asociación de Guías de Tortuguero, an organization of certified guides offering tours in English, Spanish and French.

Next stop: Drive from Tortuguero to La Fortuna (3 hours and 15 minutes)

Arenal and La Fortuna: 3 days

In the shadow of Volcán Arenal, La Fortuna is a major activity center. Spend a day hiking (or biking or horseback riding) on the volcano slopes and soaking in hot springs. On subsequent days, there’s plenty more adventure on offer.

Detour: Take a day trip to the lakeside village of El Castillo for hiking, farm tours and views of the volcano.

Next stop: Drive from La Fortuna to Tilarán (90 minutes)

Tilarán: 1 day

You’ll skip this stop if you take the jeep-boat-jeep transfer (four hours) from La Fortuna to Monteverde (or if you hike!). But if you’re driving, Tilarán offers several options to break your trip with a wonderful waterfall hike. Here is the perfect opportunity to stop for lunch, stretch your legs and take a refreshing dip beneath a powerful shower at El Salto waterfall.

Next stop: Drive fromTilarán to Santa Elena (1 hour 30 minutes)

Monteverde and Santa Elena: 2 days

Feel the temperature drop and see the mist start to swirl as you climb into the Cordillera de Tilarán to Santa Elena. Spend one day at a cloud forest reserve, either in Santa Elena or Monteverde. A great option is the Reserva Biológica Bosque Nuboso Monteverde, home to 425 species of birds (including the local celebrity, the resplendent quetzal). On your second day, climb a giant strangler fig at Finca Modelo Ecológica, hike to hidden waterfalls or tour Café de Monteverde, a sustainable coffee farm.

Next stop: Drive from Monteverde to Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio (3 hours and 45 minutes)

Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio: 2 days

End the trip with Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio, the country’s most visited national park – and for good reason. Hike through the rainforest to pristine beaches and spy on monkeys from the sand. Do it again on day two – or discover one of the many “secret” beaches in the area.

2. A compact run along the Caribbean coast

Allow at least 4 days
Distance: 250km (155 miles)

Pack a lot of enjoyment into a short time on the compact southern Caribbean coast. After a few days of thrill-riding on the Río Pacuare, find your way to the Caribbean blue, where Afro-Caribbean vibes and indigenous culture take over the rugged streets and jungle-backed beaches.

San José (arrival)

Fly into San José for the easiest access to the Caribbean coast. But if you’re short on time, skip the stop in the capital and make a beeline for your first destination.

Río Pacuare: 2 days

On your way to the Caribbean coast, psyche yourself up for a wild river rafting trip on the Río Pacuare, ideally with an overnight stay at the fabulous Pacuare Lodge. Get ready for Class III-IV rapids, with plenty of stunning scenery and swim breaks along the way.

Next stop: Drive from Pacuare to Cahuita (2 hours)

Cahuita: 1 day

Spend the next few days exploring the wild and jungly southern Caribbean coastline, starting in the chilled-out village of Cahuita. By day, hike and snorkel in Parque Nacional Cahuita to marvel at the vast variety of life. By night, feast on grilled seafood and spicy Caribbean fare, jam to reggae and calypso beats, and soak up the Caribbean vibe.

Next stop: Drive from Cahuita to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca (20 minutes)

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca: 1 day

You’ve earned some downtime, so continue south to Puerto Viejo de Talamanca and choose among half a dozen glorious palm-dotted beaches. If you can’t decide, rent a bicycle cruiser and spend a day beach-hopping, from Playa Cocles to Manzanillo, with a final stop for nourishment at Cool & Calm Cafe, a Reggae-style bar and grill by Playa Manzanillo.

3. A variety of landscapes along the North coast

Allow at least 7 days
Distance: 350km (217 miles)

In northern Costa Rica, experience an impressive variety of habitats within a relatively short distance. Cut across the top of the country and travel from cloud forest to rainforest to wetlands to beach, with plenty of creature encounters and other adventures in between.

Volcán Poás: 1 day

Fly into San José airport for your first destination at Volcán Poás, an active volcano with a steaming crater lake. Get an early start for the chance at a clear view of the crater. Afterward, there are hiking trails through the cloud forest to Botos Lagoon in the nearby extinct crater.

Next stop: Drive fromVolcán Poás to Sarapiquí (2 hours)

Sarapiquí: 1 day

Spend the night at an ecolodge in Sarapiquí on the edge of Parque Nacional Braulio Carillo. If you have the energy, take a night tour to spot bugs, bats, frogs, snakes and maybe even a kinkajou (a small tree-dwelling mammal that’s part of the raccoon family). By day, ride the rapids on the Río Sarapiquí or do a floating safari to spot wildlife along the Río Puerto Viejo.

Local tip: Sarapiquí is a good budget-friendly destination in Costa Rica, with riverside hostels and dorm-style eco-retreats that provide an immersive rainforest experience without busting your budget.

Next stop: Drive from Sarapiquí to La Fortuna (1 hour and 15 minutes)

Arenal and La Fortuna: 2 days

La Fortuna is a tourist hub with countless adventures on offer. If you only have a few days here, be sure to spend one of them hiking the lava flows and soaking in the hot springs on the slopes of Volcán Arenal. Dedicate your second day to wildlife-watching, rappelling waterfalls or exploring the rainforest canopy.

Next stop: Drive from La Fortuna to Caño Negro (2 hours and 10 minutes)

Caño Negro: 1 day

Travel north – almost to the Nicaraguan border – to Caño Negro, a fishing village and wildlife refuge, home to diverse and abundant bird 

 

life (not to mention caimans, monkeys and sloths). If possible, spend the night at an area ecolodge so you can take a boat tour early in the morning, when the animals are most active.

Next stop: Drive from Caño Negro to Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio (1 hour and 20 minutes)

Río Celeste: 1 day

You could easily spend several days exploring the farms and forests of Río Celeste. If you only have one day, go to the Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio: hike the trails and ogle the iconic ethereal blue waterfall, or hire a guide for the challenging hike through the cloud forest to the crater lake Laguna Danta.

Next stop: Drive from Parque Nacional Volcán Tenorio to Playa Conchal (2 hours and 45 minutes)

Playa Conchal: 1 day

At last, spend a day relaxing on the white-sand beach at Playa Conchal. Snorkel off the beach, book a tour for spearfishing or investigate the nearby deserted beaches. There’s also always the option to just plant yourself on the sand with toes in the water and a cocktail in hand.

Insider tip: If it’s a beach nap you’re after, arrive early at the snowy white, shelled expanse of Playa Conchal to claim the best spot. Or wander nearby to the quieter Playa Brasilito.

4. A string of surf towns and yoga hubs on the Pacific coast

Allow at least 10 days
Distance: 460km (286 miles)

Here’s an overview of Costa Rica’s epic Pacific coast surf, from easy-does-it Tamarindo all the way down to the daunting waves of Dominical. Besides the surf, there are yoga classes, waterfall hikes, turtle-nesting areas, tantalizing restaurants and beach party scenes.

Liberia (arrival)

Liberia International Airport is the easiest arrival point for accessing these northern Pacific beaches. Skip a hotel stay and drive, bus or shuttle straight to your first destination in just over an hour.

Tamarindo: 2 days

Surf all day and party all night in the lively beach town of Tamarindo. This city beach is great for beginners, thanks to easy waves and plenty of surf schools. More experienced wave-riders might prefer the challenging surf and more pristine beach nearby at Playa Grande. Come back at night to spy nesting leatherback turtles from a respectful distance.

Insider tip: Tamarindo has plenty of international dining options, but they can be expensive. Instead, visit locally owned sodas for traditional Costa Rican fare. A hearty meal of rice, beans, protein and salad will cost just a few thousand colones (about US$6).

Next stop: Drive from Tamarindo to Nosara (1 hour and 45 minutes)

Nosara: 2 days

Surf town and yogi haven, Nosara is spread out along three beaches. Playa Guiones is the best bet for surfing, although these swells are not for novices. Recover in a post-surf yoga class.

Detour: Take an evening side-trip to Playa Ostional to marvel at the arribada (arrival) of bales of olive ridley turtles. Allow at least four hours.

Next stop: Drive from Nosara to Santa Teresa (2 hours and 20 minutes)

Santa Teresa: 2 days

It’s not easy to get to effortlessly chill Santa Teresa, but it’s worth the trip for the miles-long strip of sand, with consistent swells and beach breaks all along (and varying degrees of difficulty at four different beaches – if you’re a beginner, head to Playa Hermosa). Wander the length of Santa Teresa, and you’ll find top-notch spas, excellent dining options and plenty of surf shops to explore.

Detour: Take a break from the waves to sail to Isla Tortuga, hike in Cabo Blanco or explore the nearby village of Montezuma. Allow a full day.

Next stop: Drive from Santa Teresa to Jacó (4 hours and 30 minutes). Or, take the ferry (see below).

Jacó: 1 day

From Santa Teresa, drive to Paquera (about an hour) to hop the ferry to Puntarenas (a roughly 75-minute journey – you can take your car on board, but you’ll need to purchase your ticket online) to reach the mainland. If you don’t have a vehicle, take a boat taxi directly from Santa Teresa to Jacó for gentle, surfable swells, top-notch food and party vibes.

Next stop: Drive from Jacó to Dominical (1 hour and 40 minutes)

Dominical: 2 days

Dominical is a laid-back hippy village with incredible surf, rough roads and an old-timey Tico vibe. Test your skills on the intermediate surf at Playa Dominical, as well as nearby breaks at Dominicalito and Domi’s Playa Hermosa. When you tire of surfing, there are waterfalls to swim, mangroves to kayak and treehouse breweries to visit.
