How do I choose the best travel destination for me?

Unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. The best place for you will depend a lot on how you like to travel, what kind of experiences your drawn to.If you’re still figuring that out, our Rough Guide’s destination guides like Italy, Vietnam or Costa Rica, are definitely a great place to start.These pages go over practical things like visas, transport, and safety, plus “must-see” lists that help you understand what’s most worth your time.Browsing through, you’ll get an honest sense of what to expect, from how easy it easy it is to get around, to what makes the country unique. It’s a great way to find destinations you may not have not considered yet. It’s not about chasing the biggest attractions, but finding places that genuinely suit how you like to travel.
