Best Destinations for Travel in May
Need some inspiration to put together a travel wish-list? Here's a sneak peek at some of the best places around the world to get away in May.
-
1. Calgary, Alberta
is best known for the Calgary Stampede, bull riding, carnival rides, and fireworks at night. The historical sites and natural beauty around the city make it ideal for indoor and outdoor adventures at any time of year, but May is a particularly special month here.
-
2. Brighton, United Kingdom
Make the best of spring here during your May vacation. Just an hour south of London, enjoy the colourful, bohemian vibe of the British seaside. For some art and culture, catch the illustrious Great Escape music festival or the quirky Brighton Fringe. Take in the cool, mild appeal of the pebble beaches and feel like a real global citizen in this cosmopolitan destination. And, the city is home to some of the best and most authentic fish and chips in the whole of the UK!
-
3. Sicily, Italy
This is the largest and arguably the loveliest Mediterranean island. Take a tour of the lush wine lands or stroll through the ancient city ruins. There's enough sensory delight in Sicily to keep any ardent traveler stimulated. In May you can expect warm, gentle waters and blossoms. Visit the coastal city of Syracuse and walk among the bustling stalls and little restaurants. The Porto Palo is a great place to try local fish and the villagers are quite engaging.
-
4. Memphis, USA
The Memphis in May Festival is a treat for the ears and taste buds as it celebrates the best of the South's music and cuisine. Check out the legendary blues clubs in Beale Street if that's your vibe. Or experience Elvis Presley fanfare up close in Graceland, including a museum full of his cars. There are also more than 100 barbecue restaurants inside the city so expect to taste ribs prepared in every imaginable flavour.
-
5. Munich, Germany
Munich might be famed for a certain fest that happens in October, but May is a fun, cheaper and far less crowded month to visit Munich. Come in May and you’ll visit just in time for Springfest in May. You'll find plenty of carnival rides, music and beer gardens here. Expert surfers will enjoy the warm weather and swell of the Eisbach wave in the Englischen Garten. Watch out for the nudists when the sun comes out in full force!
