Where to go every month of the year, with the best destinations for weather, wildlife, and value.
May might be the single best month to travel — warm, dry weather across the Mediterranean and Asia, long days, blooming landscapes, and crowds and prices that haven’t hit their summer peak yet.
Why travel in May 2027?
May is the connoisseur’s month: the Med is warm but not packed, Japan and the Caucasus are gorgeous, and northern Europe enjoys long bright days. You get near-summer conditions at shoulder-season prices.
