Today, I’m sharing travel tips on places to travel off season. I love to find travel bargains. First, off season travel gets you the most bang for your travel buck. So, I start planning my summer vacation off season. As a result, planning is essential. Deciding where I want to go, and then coming up with a ball park figure on how much it’s going to cost are essential in my planning. Enduring crowds is bearable, but my preference is for the crowds to be small and the prices reasonable when I travel.
I put together a list of 18 Places To Travel Off Season and when the best deals are offered:
New York in January – It’s the city that never sleeps. You can find great shopping, Broadway shows, sight-seeing, and dining in so many places. For example, Harlem, Manhattan, China Town, Soho and the list goes on.
Montreal in February – Brush up on your French. Because Montreal is considered to be cosmopolitan and is the second largest French speaking city in the world. Also, it is second only to Paris. Montreal is known for its museums, shopping and great food.
Italy in March – Next, Rome, Sicily, Naples, Venice, and Milan are places that I wish to see. Milan is famous for it’s designer shops and Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, The Last Supper. Also, there’s the canals in Venice. Italians are known for great pizza and pasta.
Rio de Janeiro in March – Rio is known for it’s world famous Carnival, beautiful beaches, and the infamous Sugar Loaf Mountain.
Rocky Mountains in April – You can enjoy the Rocky Mountains from British Columbia and Alberta in Canada. This includes Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico in the U.S. The mountains are approximately 3,00o miles from Canada to the U.S. Cross country skiing and snowshoeing are popular in April.
Australia in May – If you like wildlife, Kangaroo Island is the place to go. Additionally, you can meet sea lions on the beach, kangaroos, koalas, penguins and more on the beach. Furthermore, you can also snorkel, dive or swim on one of the beaches. While you’re there, head to the Australian Alps and spend your time hiking.
Lake Tahoe in May – For me, either North or South Lake Tahoe will suffice. The choice is yours. Lake Tahoe borders the Sierra Nevada, state borders of California and Nevada. Tahoe South is great for skiing, boating, bike trails, and bar hopping. Tahoe North is great for biking, hiking and golf. Either way you will enjoy this freshwater lake surrounded by beautiful mountains and alpine trees. Lake Tahoe is the 6th largest lake in the United Sates. Great family vacation spot.
Dallas in June – So, if you’re a Cowboys fan this is a perfect city to visit. And there’s plenty of beef and history in Dallas too. To name a few, Sixth Floor Museum and Southfork Ranch, which is about 25 miles north of Dallas.
Thailand in June – Thailand is located in Southeast Asia’s Indochina peninsula. Known for its tropical beaches, royal palaces, ancient ruins and displays of Buddha. Add Asia to your vacation list.
Palm Beach in July – Great beaches, shopping on Worth Avenue and a tour of celebrity homes. Howard Stern, Tiger Woods, Serena & Venus Williams, and Rush Limbaugh are a few celebrities living in the Palm Beach area.
Caribbean in July – Choose from the Bahamas, Dominican Republic, St. Thomas or Aruba to name a few. Turquoise water, white sandy beaches snorkeling, diving and great food for reason enough to vacation in the Caribbean.
Las Vegas in August – What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. There’s plenty to do in Nevada’s Mojave Desert. Gambling on the Las Vegas strip, catch one of your favorite celebrity’s show, visit Hoover Dam, the Grand Canyon or the Colorado River.
New Orleans in August – Looking for a diverse city with plenty of French, African, and American cultures? Head to New Orleans. It is located on the Mississippi River and near the Gulf of Mexico. It provides plenty of action around the clock. Likewise, if you like it hot, there’s plenty of spicy food to be found there as well.
