Our Guide to the Best Places to Visit By Month

No matter what time of year you travel, there’s always a new destination to discover (or an old favourite to see in a new light). Italy shines in February, where 5,000 masks are produced each year for the famous Venetian carnival. July in Sweden is perfect for those who want to squeeze even more out of their day, with its cities and islands basking in up to 18 hours of daylight. In October, head to either New England for over 32 million acres of flame-coloured forest, or golden Egypt, where the sun shines so bright that there's an ancient sun festival that dates back 3,200 years.
