Everyone knows the iconic monuments like The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum or Notre Dame Cathedral, and the world-renowned cuisine makes Paris the place to be. The best time to visit Paris is during the shoulder seasons, specifically spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October), when the weather is mild, crowds are smaller, and you can enjoy the city without the summer heat while still experiencing pleasant temperatures.


Santorini, Greece

One of Europe's most iconic destinations, Santorini is a Mediterranean paradise with a breathtaking volcanic landscape, characterized by whitewashed houses with blue domes, dramatic cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea and its unique volcanic beaches with different colours and textures of sand. Many know Santorini as a romantic destination as it has many adult attractions and activities such as wine tasting, which is a big deal because the volcanic soil produces some of the most delicious grapes in the Mediterranean.Β The best time to visit Santorini is any time except winter. The warmer months, especially May-September are perfectly temperate.


Dublin, Ireland

Ever wanted to drink a pint in a traditional pub, listening to some hearty folk tunes, overlooking the emerald hills of a shire? Dublin is a must-visit spot for any traveller who loves beautiful scenery, friendly and exciting people, and a musical culture so rich that you'll be folk-dancing your way back to the airport when it's time to go. Dublin has great connections across the country, so you can see Giant's Causeway, the rolling hills and everything else the nation has to offer on day trips. The best time to visit Ireland is during the summer when it's less likely to rain and the temperature is more enjoyable.
