Destination of the month: Guanajuato, Mexico. When most people visit Mexico it’s only to visit the coastal regions for a holiday spent on the beach. It’s a shame because they’re missing out on Mexico’s rich history and former colonial elegance all of which is on display in the interior city of Guanajuato. Located halfway between Mexico City and Guadalajara, Guanajuato is a city of old world charm.

Destination of the month: Muscat, Oman. March is a good month to visit Oman as time of year takes on a new level of importance whenever you are visiting the Middle East. Built between the mountains and the Arabian Sea, Muscat is the antithesis of more high-profile Middle Eastern cities such as Dubai. Here the architecture is understated and natural beauty takes precedence.

Destination of the month: Kilimanjaro National Park, Tanzania. My choice for destination of the month is Kilimanjaro.

Destination of the month: Petra, Jordan. Named one of the ‘new seven wonders of the world’ Petra is renowned for its rock cut architecture. This time of year is good for a visit to Jordan as it lets you bypass the scorching heat that plagues the region throughout most of the year. You can expect the skies to be sunny & the people friendly.

Destination of the month: Seoul. Now is the best time to visit Seoul, the hot summer months have passed & the cold winter months are yet to arrive. Seoul is a beautiful city located along the banks of the Han River. Technically the largest city in the world, it’s truly a vibrant metropolis composed of various districts each one unique. I was recently in Seoul & I had an excellent time.

Destination of the Month: With the Olympics starting this month Beijing is the obvious choice but I personally try to avoid cities during the Olympics. Also Beijing in the summer isn’t exactly pleasant. So I’ve decided to go another way & choose St Petersburg, Russia as the destination of the month. I know what you’re thinking, Russia, seriously? But the truth is St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world & with it being so far north there’s no time better than to go than August. Getting there shouldn’t be too hard as you can fly there directly from most major cities in Europe. You can also arrive via train if you happen to be in the Baltic States or Finland. There are even ferry services if you happen to be on the Baltic Sea.

The summer tourist boom is well underway & we’re recommending Mykonos as our destination of the month. The Greek Islands really come to life in the summer months, and there are many great islands such as Ios famous for its nightlife & Santorini famous for its natural beauty. We believe at Travelers Digest however that Mykonos has an excellent combination of nightlife, natural beauty, & culture. There are many ways to get to the Greek Islands, most likely you’ll have to go through Athens and then either take a ferry or fly. There are also chartered flights from other European cities, you can also take a ferry to the Greek Islands from the Turkish coast.
