Top vacation destinations in May

April 30th, 2017  |  Travel

With the summer months just around the corner, you may want to go on a quick trip to beat the busy season. May is a good time to head out, because soon after everything becomes far more crowded and much more expensive. No matter where you want to travel there are some good options out there this month. Here are some of the top travel options for the month of May.

Resorts in The Caribbean

Since the busy winter season is done, many resorts drop their prices to boost business in May. You can’t go wrong with spending some time on the beach while your friends back home stress out at work. You can shop around for deals to Mexico or Dominican Republic. If you’re comfortable with waiting to the last minute, you can hold out for a deal. Sometimes prices will drop even further when rooms remain vacant.

South America

Have you ever visited South America? You can find a cheap flight to Cartagena, Colombia or Lima, Peru if you look around. You can then look into trying out AirBnB or consider staying in hostels if you’re traveling on a tight budget. If not, you can stay in the usual hotels there. 

Here are some specific options you can try out in May:

  • Learn tango in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
  • Take some salsa classes in Cali, Colombia.
  • Hike the Inca Trail in Peru.
  • Study Spanish in Ecuador.

Europe

There are countries in Europe that are much more affordable in the off-season. You can try to find a flight to Poland or Hungary in May, and then take some time to explore around. Many of these destinations are fully occupied in the summer, so if you get in before the huge swing in tourism, you can see the popular tourist spots without the long lines. In southern Europe, beating the heat of the summer will also make for a more comfortable sojurn. 

Staying in Canada

Have you taken the time to look around Canada yet? You can find a train schedule and start traveling through this beautiful country, or take to the skies. You can go out west or check out what the eastcoast has to offer. Atlantic Canada is beautiful in the spring, and some more northern destinations start to look more appealing.

Take a risk on that adventure in May and come back with some fun stories to tell over summer events.
