Time Out lists Hoi An among best places to travel in July
British magazine TimeOut has placed Hoi An ancient city in the central province of Quang Nam in seventh position among its list of the 13 best places to travel in July.
As the monsoon rains fall in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, savvy travelers to Vietnam tend to head to the central coast, where the weather is dry and warm. Some of the country’s most beautiful beaches are located in the area, along with UNESCO-listed cities and jaw-dropping national parks, the article wrote.
TimeOut suggested a visit to witness the mesmerizing Lantern Festival on July 19, in the historic port city of Hoi An, where lantern-strewn streets reveal Chinese temples and ancient teahouses.
The British media outlet also recommended travelers head out of town to laze on the stretches of white sand that can be found around Da Nang, brave the Hai Van Pass on a motorbike tour, and visit Hue’s Imperial citadel before heading inland to see the gargantuan Phong Nha Caves.
Topping the list is Amsterdam in the Netherlands as July in the European city is all about good food, good weather, and good vibes.
Others places to make the list include Greenland, Cape Town in South Africa, Udaipur in India, South Island in New Zealand, Northwest England, Montreal in Canada, Madagascar, Singapore, West Coast in North America, Japan, and Provence in France.
July is the month for holidays, which means summer, freedom, rising temperatures, and more festivals than tourists can imagine. In order to enjoy plenty of great cities and countries, the seventh month of the year is the best possible time travelers can visit, TimeOut shared.
