Top Travel Destinations for First-Time Visitors
Traveling to new places can be an exciting experience, but
it’s also easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of things to do and see
that you don’t know where to start! It can be difficult to narrow down your
choices when faced with an infinite list of destinations to visit, hotels to
book, and tours to take. Whether you’re preparing for your first trip abroad or
just trying to find somewhere new and exciting near home, here are the top
travel destinations for first-time visitors, as recommended by seasoned
travelers from all over the world.
If you love nature
Costa Rica is one of Central America’s most popular travel
destinations and for good reason. This beautiful country is blessed with an
abundance of natural beauty, from lush jungles to miles of coastline along both
Pacific and Caribbean coasts.
If you are into nightlife
The entertainment capital of America, New York City is a top
spot for first-time visitors. From Broadway shows to live music performances at
local bars and night clubs, NYC has something on offer every night of the week.
If you’re into partying hard until dawn, don’t forget to catch sunrise at one
of NYC’s rooftops with a nice cocktail in hand. You won’t regret it!
For culture lovers
The Louvre is a great first-time destination because it has
some of history’s most beautiful artworks, including famous works by artists
like Da Vinci, Rembrandt and Michelangelo. If you prefer modern art (or modern
anything), check out New York City’s Museum of Modern Art or London’s Tate
Modern—but be sure to plan ahead, as these museums are always packed.
If you want to sleep under the stars
For many, sleeping under stars is a first-time experience.
You could get lucky and see some stars in big cities if you’re not near any
light pollution, but for serious stargazing it’s always best to book a tour
that takes you away from city lights.
If you like unexpected experiences
New York City’s Broadway is a bustling tourist trap, but
it’s not often called a destination. But if you’re in town and looking to spend
an afternoon or evening seeing a show, try Broadway. You can often find cheaper
tickets than other cities’ top destinations. The shows are Broadway classics
and have done wonders with making New York City tourism more accessible and
affordable to visitors from outside of New York, so it’s an ideal first trip
when visiting on a budget.
If history is your thing
If you’re interested in historic sights and museums, check
out Paris, London, Rome or Barcelona. These cities have attractions such as:
The Louvre Museum (Paris), Buckingham Palace (London), The Colosseum (Rome) and
La Sagrada Familia Basilica (Barcelona). You can also tour iconic structures
like The Eiffel Tower (Paris), Big Ben & Parliament Building (London), St.
