These nearby destinations let you see even more on one vacation!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Going on vacation is always a treat: time away from work, new experiences, new sights, delicious food, and fun. How could it get any better than that? What about a \u201c2-for-1 travel deal\u201d? Neighboring destinations can really expand your fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve got time to treat yourself to a little longer vacation, here are some of the best spots where you can double down:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Boats
Portland is full of waterfront streets perfect for strolling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Canada & New England<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Sharing a similar coastline, New England and Canada make for an excellent 2-for-1 trip\u2014especially if you\u2019re traveling by sea! Make your way up the eastern seaboard and you\u2019ll find all sorts of<\/span> can\u2019t-miss attractions<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting off in<\/span> Boston<\/span><\/a> lets you appreciate bustling city life. Catch major attractions like the New England Aquarium and Museum of Science, or a baseball game at Fenway Park just 2 miles from downtown. And as one of the oldest American cities, Boston is home to<\/span> \u201cancient\u201d attractions<\/span><\/a> like the Old Statehouse building that survived the revolution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Head North to<\/span> Portland Maine<\/span><\/a> and you\u2019ll find a port with a renowned food scene that punches well above its weight. As an<\/span> emerging food city<\/span><\/a>, there\u2019s more to enjoy than fresh lobster\u2014but don\u2019t leave without trying a lobster roll!\u2014like specialized breweries, oysters, donuts, and even excellent Vietnamese cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Visitors
Incredible rock formations dot the coast in Canada.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you reach our northern neighbor, there\u2019s plenty more to see. Near<\/span> Halifax Nova Scotia<\/span><\/a>, the famous Peggy\u2019s Cove lighthouse is a picturesque stop on a rocky peninsula. The massive Bay of Fundy also boasts incredible formations of the Hopewell Rocks. And in<\/span> St. John<\/span><\/a>, you can see the churning waters of the \u201creversing falls\u201d before strolling past colorful waterfront homes on your way to seafood and delicious international fare along the harbor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The
The famous Sydney opera house overlooks the harbor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Australia & New Zealand\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

On the other side of the world, making the trek to Australia is worth a spot on<\/span> your bucket list<\/span><\/a>, especially because it\u2019s near New Zealand!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the best-known attractions in the Land Down Under is the Australian<\/span> national animal<\/span><\/a>: Kangaroos. But there are other<\/span> wild animals you\u2019ll have to see<\/span><\/a> there, like the cute koala, the famously odd duck billed platypus, and the ferocious predators Australian crocodiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are endless opportunities for exploration near<\/span> Cairns<\/span><\/a>, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef which spans more than 134,000 square miles with colorful corals and vibrant fish species. And surfers will find plenty to love about Australia\u2019s coastline, but especially at \u201cSurfer\u2019s Paradise\u201d beach south of<\/span> Brisbane<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Panoramic
Auckland sits between two harbors, so ferries abound.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But just across the Tasman Sea, <\/span>New Zealand<\/span><\/a> is home to one of the<\/span> best places to travel in 2022<\/span><\/a>: <\/span>Auckland<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 Since the city is between two harbors, it\u2019s no surprise ferries can take you to top attractions like the lava caves on Rangitoto Island. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>And like Australia, New Zealand has a thriving wine industry. Be sure to sample some local pinot noirs in town after taking in panoramic views from the iconic Sky Tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A
Did you know that \u201cBig Ben\u201d is actually the name of the large bell?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

British isles<\/b><\/p>\n

What\u2019s better than a 2-for-1 vacation? How about a 5-for-1!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re headed to<\/span> the British Isles<\/span><\/a>, you can see England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland\u2014all under the same head of state\u2014as well as their neighbor Ireland on the same trip. Or whichever calls to you most. The history and culture of these places converge, but each has their own unique draws.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A
A pub in the famous Temple Bar area of Dublin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In<\/span> Dublin, Ireland<\/span><\/a> for example you can visit the famous St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral named after the country\u2019s most famous saint, or the Guinness Brewery where you can learn to pour a pint from the experts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Neighboring Northern Ireland is a separate country (and part of the United Kingdom). There\u2019s plenty of history in the capital of <\/span>Belfast<\/span><\/a>, such as the Titanic Museum, but the Giant\u2019s Causeway is truly a unique sight: thousands of interlocking columns reach into the North Channel towards Scotland.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Castle
You can see Edinburgh Castle from most parts of the city.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And speaking of,<\/span> Edinburgh<\/span><\/a> Scotland is a must-stop to see castles. In town, Edinburgh Castle sits high on a rock and can be seen from miles, and another called Stirling Castle sits on an extinct volcano!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Dusk
Snowdonia is a massive national park that takes up more than 10% of Wales!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Wales<\/span><\/a> has Snowdonia National Park, that\u2019s unique not just for its rare beauty, but since it covers more than 10% of the country!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And last but not least,<\/span> London, England<\/span><\/a> is home to some of the world\u2019s most famous architecture, like Buckingham Palace, Elizabeth Tower (which houses the bell named \u201cBig Ben\u201d) and the seat of government in the Palace of Westminster.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These nearby destinations let you see even more on one vacation!
