A lot of people don’t realize it, but summer is a great time to travel. In a lot of places, summer is the off-season, which means that hotels and flights are cheap because no one’s flying to them. That usually means that’s the weather’s hot (which I think we could all live with for deals like these) or it’s a time of the year known for raining. (Have you ever been in a tropical rainstorm? They last about 10 minutes.) If you’re looking to go on a vacation this summer but don’t know where to start, these vacation destinations are perfect for your next big trip!
1 Orlando, FL
There is no better time to visit Disney World than during the summer. It’s not the peak season, which means although the weather isn’t ideal; you’ll get to go for a price that simply can’t be beat. Seriously, if you’ve really wanted to visit the happiest place on Earth but haven’t been able to afford, look at prices for this summer!
Frequently asked questions
2 Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
Looking for a tropical getaway this summer but don’t know where to start? The Dominican Republic has quickly become the ultimate getaway destination, and prices are so much better in the summer that the deals are almost too good to pass up! Believe me, I’ve been there, and it’s one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever visited!
3 Budapest, Hungary
Do you want to visit a big city in Europe but don’t like the hefty price tag that comes along with London, Paris, or Rome? Never fear, Budapest is here! Budapest is a huge city in Europe, but because it’s not exactly one of the biggest tourist destinations, the cost of travel, especially during the summer, is a lot cheaper than you’d expect!
4 Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a great place to travel in the summer, especially if you’re looking to travel to Spain. Spain can get hot fairly quickly, but because Barcelona is on the coast, the temperatures are slightly milder. Obviously, Barcelona is a major tourist destination, which means that you can travel here when you’re on a budget, but it may take a lot of advance planning and maneuvering!
5 Philadelphia, PA
Just like Budapest and Europe, if you’re looking for a big city vacation in the United States without the price tags of New York and Los Angeles, Philadelphia is a great option. It’s not often viewed as a huge spot for tourism especially in the summer, but you’ll get the same taste of city living that you’d get in New York City!
6 Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas is so hot, no matter the time of year. That means that it’s insanely hot during the summer. If you’re willing to brave the heat for a weekend with your girls to see Britney Spears perform live, then this is the vacation for you! Prices plummet in Las Vegas during the summer because of the heat, making it an affordable weekend getaway!
7 The Maldives
Doesn’t everyone dream of going to the Maldives? If it’s been on your bucket list for a while, summer is the time to go. Summer is the rainy season, which means that hotels are basically begging people to stay there. You’ll get hotel deals for a fraction of the price, and even better, the “rainy season” is known to clear up quickly. Although it rains most days of the week, the rain showers are short and quick, meaning that you won’t miss out on your dream vacation!
