If you’re heading to Europe this summer, chances are countries like France, Italy, and Spain are at the top of your bucket list, and tried-and-true as they may be, we get it. Nothing screams ‘idyllic’ quite like some good old village-hopping down the French Riviera, eating soft lemon gelato in a stone-cut town in Tuscany, …

The downside of vacationing in popular destinations is that prices tend to skyrocket once they become mainstream. That’s why The Bahamas‘ most famous resort, Atlantis, goes for $500 minimum any given night this summer. But, when travelers scope out other Caribbean gems, prices are often a fraction of the price, which is likely a key …

When you think of Spain, places like Barcelona and its world-renowned Gaudí-spawned edifices, like Sagrada Família or Casa Batlló, Madrid and its grand boulevards and lush El Retiro Park, or even Mallorca’s picturesque calas and medieval villages, probably come to mind. That’s not for nothing: these 3 popular spots are Spain’s easiest destinations to reach if you’re flying from the United …

When most people think of a summer in Europe, it’s probably images of Italy’s pastel-and-turquoise Amalfi Coast they conjure up, or maybe Greece’s whitewashed islands of Mykonos and Santorini, rarely the lesser-known island-nation of Cyprus. Tucked away in the Eastern Mediterranean, just south of Turkey, it has always been one of the least-visited destinations by …

Home to iconic landmarks like the Roman Colosseum, the floating city of Venice, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy is probably at the top of your list if you’re flying across the pond in the next few months.

Gulf Shores may be welcoming commercial flights for the first time ever this month, but it’s actually another Alabama city that’s responsible for the state’s biggest surge in tourism. That’s right – there’s more to see in ‘Bama than the vibrant turquoise waters and sugary white sand of its popular beach town. Nestled inland from …

Summer is fast approaching, and if you’re craving some of that Old World allure—you know, the fairytale castles, centuries-old cities, and heritage cuisine you can’t find as easily in our side of the pond—Europe is likely to be on your radar.
