Best Travel Destinations Outside the U.S. This Summer

With a world full of adventure, choosing the perfect vacation spot can be a real challenge. That’s why The Balancing Act put together this list, of the best travel destinations to visit outside of the U.S. this summer in 2024.

Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With crystal-clear oceans and perfect climates, Cancun is the perfect destination for your vacation this summer. Flights have been known to be short and cheap in the past. While we love the blue waters, there are outdoor activities, day trips, and tours in the region.

London, England

When you visit London, it feels like another world within itself. This city is filled with beautiful neighborhoods with a blend of historical landmarks and modern-day attractions. A trip to London could last a few days or a few weeks. If it will be your first time visiting, consider joining a tour that will take you past the top spots like Tate Modern Art Institution, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Borough Market, and the British Museum. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon with a cup of tea or check out a local pub.

Tokyo, Japan

Stepping into Japan’s capital city is an experience like no other. Known for its busy streets and flashing neon signs, Tokyo is one of the top attractions to experience. Foodies will not be let down by the variety of options Tokyo has to offer. Try fresh sushi or hearty ramen. Travelers who are seeking nature can check out Shinjuku Gyoen or Yoyogi Park.

Rome, Italy

Prepare to see landmarks and history if you visit Rome. When you visit the capital of Italy you will see the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and so many other of Rome’s greatest treasures. While you’re there make sure to hit up some of Rome’s lesser-known museums, art galleries, and boutiques, or drive up to Janiculum Hill for unbelievable views of the city.

Maldives

This spot is not cheap or easy to reach, but nothing in the world compares to these views. This isolated Indian Ocean vacation spot is located southwest of India and is the perfect ocean retreat. The Maldives are made up of over 1,000 islands. This once-in-a-lifetime vacation will fill your days will pristine beaches, spa treatments, and snorkeling excursions. If you want to explore more of the Maldives outside of the beaches, pay a visit to the capital, Male. There you can find historic mosques and open markets. This is the ultimate relaxation travel destination.

There are so many beautiful destinations in this world, but these are some of our favorites. As summer approaches no matter where you decide to go, remember adventure is out there!
