Choosing the right time of year to visit your destination
can really make the world of difference… Get the most
out of your holiday overseas with our
guide to travelling by season
. We'll help you experience the best the world has to
offer.
Spring - Japan
Perhaps no country takes such visible joy in springtime as
Japan, where people track the 'cherry-blossom'
front as it moves northwards, and gradually engulfs the
country in distinctive and beautiful blossoms, or
'sakura'.
Summer - Great Britain
It's a shame the British weather sometimes deters
overseas visitors. In fact, because the Brits don't
get a whole lot of sun, they really enjoy it when it comes
out - you'll feel like you're in a happier
country! It's also a great time to set your sights
beyond London, and explore the Great British
countryside…
Autumn - New England
Head to one of North America's most beautiful corners,
and marvel at the incredible golds, oranges and crimsons on
display. Summers vary throughout New England, and winters
tend to be bitterly cold - so the famous autumn
foliage really is the year's highlight.
Winter - Goa
India's smallest state is bombarded with heavy monsoon
rains between June and September, while summers (from March
until May) can get incredibly humid. Not only does winter
offer perfect temperatures for lounging on the beach, but
there's also a wonderful festival in February -
and colourful Christmas celebrations every year, too.
But whatever time of year you go, don't forget to make
sure you have travel insurance. So you can relax and have
fun, whatever the weather…
