Best Places for Vacation in August

Summer has been in full swing in many countries in past few months, but still on its way in others. How about you? Have you been wondering where to spend the rest of your vacation days in August? You might want to check out the following destinations and find your next go-to vacation.

1. Boracay in the Philippines

 

It may sound ironic, but most travel-savvy tourists would opt to visit Boracay, one of the top-rated islands in the world, during the rainy season of August. Their primary reason is the fact that airfare and hotel/resort accommodations are cheap and less tourists are visiting the island since summer has just culminated. But the winning surprise awaiting you at the island is its brooding view as the rain clouds hover above the sea. Isn’t it awesome? Tranquility at its best, should I say.

2. Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida

 

Riding a roller coaster for an annual tradition during summer is a good idea despite the aggravating crowds and long queues at Walt Disney World. Just be brave with the hot weather and humidity to mingle with your favorite Disney character.

3. Westman Islands in Iceland

 

The 20-hour sunlight in the island allows you to visit some of its most spectacular attractions and do activities like the Westfords, the Highlands, horseback rides, and mid-day hikes at its rolling green landscapes.  You may also try to pick some berries in late summer when they offer ideal sweetness.

4. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean

 

The threat brought by rain in this month is actually the time when the Caribbean is at its most lush. It’s the perfect time to go island-hopping through yacht and join some cruises. You will then keep a lookout for different events at its Breadfruit Festival that pays homage to its own heritage.

5. Sturgis, South Dakota

Are you a motor rider or enthusiast? Be one of the bikers converging on bars and campgrounds to participate in the Sturgis Bike Rally. The event starts from the first week of August. This is also a great time to groove with the music concerts of the event along with its bike shows.

6. Vancouver in British Columbia

 

Evergreen forests, tranquil Pacific Ocean, and snowcapped peaks framed the Canada’s Pacific Northwest jewel, Vancouver. The western coast haven of the town is ideal for a pleasant and crisp summer days. Hiking mountain trails, kayak, odyssey across the country, and visiting modern art galleries are just a few of the activities to do here.

7. Berlin in Germany

August is the best month to score for the lowest hotel rates in Europe’s buzzy capital. You will be welcomed by its International Beer Festival and the Dance in August festival. International chefs are now in the city for a more innovative food options for locals and visitors alike.

8. Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya

 

If you are into safaris, Kenya‘s sprawling natural landscapes is ideal for your vacation. Wildlife spotting here is even heralded as the eighth natural wonder of the world.

9. Galapagos Islands in Equador

 

The undercurrents of summer in Galapagos during August brought much nutrients to its water surface, which spawns a feeding frenzy for its local wildlife. Make the most of your weeklong cruises with onboard naturalists and with stops at smaller islands this month.

10. Ljubljana in Slovenia

 

Ljubljana is regarded as the official European Green Capital in 2017. You will be amazed of the downtown area with more trees than you would expect from a large city and free of bumper-to-bumper cars.  Parks and botanical gardens are the best attractions here.

11. Amsterdam in the Netherlands
