Where You Should Vacation This Summer, According To Your Zodiac Sign

by Roya Backlund

Summer is so much more than just sweating in 90 degree weather and enjoying a long, lazy break from school (if you're lucky enough to still be in school). It's a time for making exciting new plans, falling madly and hopelessly in love, opening your mind to new perspectives, and cherishing the spice of life. It's when a fire in your soul is lit. It's when the longing in your heart takes you on the journey of a lifetime. There's a reason thoughts of summer are always brimming with nostalgia. Knowing where you should travel in summer 2018, according to your zodiac sign, will allow you to make sure this season is forever ingrained in your memory.

If you think summer has to be an average few months, you're wrong. The world is sparkling with mysterious destinations, and they're just waiting for you to discover them. If you don't know where to go, the nature of your zodiac sign says a lot about the kind of vacation that would be perfect for you. Some might prefer a more laid-back, luxurious respite at a resort on a tropical beach. Others might want to go somewhere adventurous and exotic, a place that resembles nothing like home.

For an Aries who loves to get their adrenaline pumping on a wild and uninhibited adventure, Cancun, Mexico, is the perfect place. Between snorkeling in undersea wonderlands, zip-lining through tropical forests, and then dozing off on a white-sand beach with a cocktail in hand, the fun is endless.

Taurus: Florence, Italy

The decadence, culture, artistry, and cuisine that a Taurus holds so dearly can all be found in Florence, Italy. They can wile away the days shopping at boutiques, admiring ancient artwork, strolling along gorgeous river scenes, and then satiate their appetites with some spaghetti and a glass of wine.

Gemini: Sydney, Australia

Australia contains everything a variety-loving Gemini could need. Why not start at its glittering capital? The social scene is flowing with energy and positivity, the beaches are full of beautiful people, and when they have a belly full of the city, Gemini can journey through the country's epic natural world.

Cancer: Cork, Ireland

Affectionate, homebody Cancer would love nothing more than cozying up in a cottage along the quaint and peaceful coastline of Cork, Ireland.

Leo: Santorini, Greece

Adventure-loving and free-spirited Sagittarius doesn't want to just go on vacation; they want to go on a journey.

Aquarius: Jaipur, India

Gavin Hellier/Stocksy

Eccentric and individualistic Aquarius is always trying to do things their own way. This is why visiting a city as rich in culture and uniqueness as Jaipur, India, would definitely be up their alley.

Pisces: Kyoto, Japan

Dreamy and sensitive Pisces would be right at home in Kyoto, Japan. The nature here is unlike any other place in the world. Between cherry blossom forests and bamboo forests, their soul will feel completely rejuvenated. This city was basically made for someone spiritually inclined.
