Astrology: The ideal 2024 travel destination for each star sign named | Travel News | Travel

As exciting as the ‘there’s so much to see, so much to do’ life is, it can often be a decisive nightmare to pick your travel destination for the year.

As travel magazines publish lists of ‘top destinations’ of 2024, Destination2 has paired the best holiday destinations with their perfect zodiac sign match, based on astrology charts, personalities and preferences.

Aries (March 21-April 19) 

Chiang Mai in Thailand is the perfect balance of adventure and architecture, with its mountainous terrain complementing ancient temples.

While the night markets and vibrant street food culture would appeal to the ‘foodie’ vein of Aries, the natural grandeur of the city encourages treks and jungle walks, providing enough stimulation to the energetic Aries.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Ashley Cramer, the Founder of Lunar Alignment, has identified the luxurious, ultramodern city of Dubai to be the destination for Taureans. “Taurus, the bull, has two speeds – standing still or charging – and Dubai’s mix of golden beaches and modern city life gives Taurus many options for either mood,” she says.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

For the social, extroverted Gemini, Bali is the destination for the year. With plenty of opportunities to soak in the sun, swim, dance, and socialise with friends and locals alike, Bali offers a unique experience of partying and going out, while being drenched in art, culture, and natural allure.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Spending quality time with family and friends is at the heart of every Cancerian’s holiday. Turkey, a cultural hotspot which caters to tourists across ages and interests, is perfect for those born between June 21 and July 22.

Activities that can be pursued are wide ranging, from shopping, going to the beach, trying local cuisine, to partaking in adventure sports and exploring the nightlife.

Leo (July 23-August 22)

Inbaal Honigman, celebrity psychic and astrologer, believes that Las Vegas is the best destination for Leos. He explains: “Leo is the ‘king of the zodiac’, the lion, and Leos love living life on their terms.” With a taste for the finer things in life, the glamous and grandeur of Vegas’s casinos and luxury resorts will not disappoint the Leos.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Virgos love a good detox from their professional lives, when on holiday. For this reason, the beach city of Cancun in Mexico is a great getaway for this zodiac.

Their devotion for organisation and planning can really shine, as the beach town offers a myraid of activities for tourists, from exploring ancient Mayan ruins to following natural trails and taking a dip in a cenote.

Libra (September 23-October 22)

As one of the most romantic signs, it is only right that the Libras travel to the romantic country of Italy this year. A quintessential summer holiday that involves beaches, fine-wine and decadent food is bound to impress the passionate Libra.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)

New York City- the Big Apple, is where the bold Scorpios will best enjoy their time off. The bustling city which is a global landmark and a hotspot for the performing arts waits to be explored.

From soaking in the pop culture at theatres, jazz clubs and cinemas, to jaw-dropping views atop the Empire State Building, and a serene stroll at Central Park, there’s a lot to be experienced for the Scorpios.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)

The traveller of the star signs, the perfect holiday for Sagittarius is Marrakesh, Morocco. Home to exquisite medieval architecture, the mosques and palaces echo with historical accounts, while the hills and mountains offer a different kind of adventure altogether.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

The South Asian country of Sri Lanka will best satiate the Capricorns, who crave new experiences during their holidays. With enough room to unwind while also soaking in culture, Sri Lanka offers an incredible experience of local food, vast beaches, humbling temples, and a scenic countryside.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)

The Aquarius are explorers- they love carving their own paths while travelling, like discovering natural trails and understanding different lifestyles. Siem Reap in Cambodia offers enough and more fodder for this star sign, with spiritual monuments like Angkor Wat paired with mystifying natural landscapes waiting to be traversed.

Pisces (February 19-March 20)

Pscieans enjoy a holiday by the waterside – be it the ocean, a lake, a waterfall, or a river. For this reason, Maldives is the perfect getaway for the water sign, who like to good swim in a faraway country to recharge their batteries. Pisceans enjoy a break where they can “feel solitude and bother about nothing and connect with their inner voice, away from the hustle and bustle of the world around,” says Alice Alta, resident astrologer at the Futurio App.
