While there are some evergreen travel destinations that are great for a vacation each year, there are also some that have become the centres of attention in recent years. As such, why not consider some of the following places for your travel plans?<\/p>\n

Chile (Above)<\/h3>\n

Geographically, Chile is a fascinating country, sometimes called a \u201csliver\u201d of a nation in South America. In fact, it is somewhat isolated, lodged between the Andes to its east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The capital, Santiago, is Chile\u2019s largest city and its most cosmopolitan. It provides a good mix of attractions, with a plethora of dining options, museums and galleries, vibrant markets and an exciting night-life scene.<\/p>\n

Chilean wine, one of the so-called \u201cnew world\u201d wines, has gained so much popularity in recent years that a visit to one of the many wineries is a must-do. And, thanks to Santiago\u2019s close proximity to the countryside, the Pacific-facing beaches and the majestic Andes, it\u2019s a perfect base for day trips that would offer a wide range of holiday experiences. If you plan to visit during winter in the Southern Hemisphere (June to August), you\u2019ll be able to fit in some skiing too.<\/p>\n

Northern Ireland<\/h3>\n

This is a destination that is a hot favourite with travellers, its popularity having been given a further boost by on-location filming for the popular TV series Game of Thrones. Once an industrial town with a colourful and painful history of conflict, Belfast has emerged as another vibrant capital city in Europe, with a good mix of culture and a bustling food and drink scene. Go for a pub crawl in the Cathedral Quarter, explore the Titanic Quarter (where the famous ship was designed, built and launched), and check out St George\u2019s Market, where you can try Northern Irish staples such as Belfast baps (round bread sandwiches with hearty, savoury fillings) and a mix of cuisines from all around the world.<\/p>\n

Belfast is also where you can enjoy a scenic coastal drive, taking in some of the Game of Thrones locations and the beautiful Giant\u2019s Causeway, which is Northern Ireland\u2019s first UNESCO Heritage Site.<\/p>\n

Bhutan<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s one of the most remote kingdoms in the world \u2013 tourism was only initiated there in 1974 \u2013 and a lot of what goes on is a mystery to many. But Bhutan is an excellent choice for a holiday, especially for trekking enthusiasts. The mountainous region of the Himalayas makes it ideal for hiking and climbing, with your route lined with natural attractions such as pristine mountain lakes and imposing glaciers.<\/p>\n

There is a variety of treks to choose from \u2013 depending on your level of experience and how much time you have \u2013 and they range from a day\u2019s hike to 25 days of adventure (and everything else in between too). Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit, but they are also the most popular periods, so do try to book way in advance. It does get cold in December and January, and the monsoon season between June and August sees a lot of rainfall, so leave vigorous outdoor activities out of your programme during these months.<\/p>\n

Within the capital of Thimphu, you can also have a nice meal, go to the cinema, and even visit a local discotheque. It could turn out to be quite an enjoyable experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
