Where to go by region and month

Pick a destination by region when you already know which part of the world you want, such as Africa, Asia, Central America or the Caribbean. Pick by month when your dates are fixed or your travel window is narrow, and see which places suit that time of year. Region pages group countries that share a part of the world, which helps when you compare routes or decide how many countries fit one trip.

Start with the month to narrow the list, then compare countries inside a region. Once a country or city is on your shortlist, its page is set up to cover entry rules, money, the best months to go, what to see and where to stay. Check entry rules and seasonal conditions for your dates before you book flights or a hotel.
