The top 7 places for your next girls’ vacation
How will you spend next year? 2021 is nearly among us and despite Corona, many of us are already planning out the next year, especially regarding possible trips. In general, it is safer to travel in a group and many of us look for travel buddies we feel we would get on well with. Especially girls like to travel together. That’s why today we have put together the best girls’ trips for 2021. Side note: Of course, these travel tips are not gender-specific, but a must for everyone!
City Trips
We often do not have the time to go on adventures with our girls. Partners, our jobs and other obligations get in the way. That’s why City Trips are just the right thing for those who are too busy for a long trip! City Trips are more fun with your girls because such a trip welds you together, can be tonnes of fun and provides you with unique photos you can keep forever.
Reykjavik, Iceland
The capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, is for all those women who are looking for magic on their girls’ vacation. The panorama with the mountains in the background and the colorful houses alone are impressive. But what can you experience with your girls in Reykjavik? You should definitely visit one of the many swimming pools! Due to the energy policy and the processing factories, water in Iceland is very cheap, so the entrance fee is only about 6 Euro! To get a unique view of the city you should go to the tower of Hallgrímskirkja church. The tower is open for visitors every day except Sundays and during church services. Reykjavik also has many parks and green areas for a relaxing picnic for your group of girls. These include Hallargardur and Hljómskálagardur, which are located by the city lake. Iceland definitely belongs on your list of best girls’ trips for 2021.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City is not yet on your list of the best girls’ trips for 2021? A big mistake! Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world and has a lot to offer. The city in Mexico is located at an altitude of 2,200 meters and is surrounded by high mountains. These include the volcanoes Iztaccihuatl and Popocatépetl. In the old town, around the Plaza de la Constitución, you will find many sights that you can easily reach on foot. These include the Cathedral, the National Palace, and the remains of the Templo Mayor.
In the west of the city center, you will find the Zona Rosa, where you will find many bars, restaurants and hotels. In the south of the city, you can stroll along the numerous cafés and small stores during your girls’ vacation. The Coyoacán district also shows you the story of Frida Kahlo in a museum! In Mexico City, it is recommended to speak Spanish or at least understand some of the language. However, if you don’t have anyone among your friends who speaks Spanish, you will also be okay with English.
New Orleans, USA
New Orleans is probably not even known outside of the US as worth seeing. New York City, Los Angeles or San Francisco are usually on the travel bucket list, but New Orleans is the ideal destination especially for a girls’ vacation. Have you ever heard of Mardi Gras? This carnival takes place on February 16, 2021, and reminds us of the carnival here in Germany. There are big processions that parade through the city and throw colorful plastic bead chains into the air.
If you prefer not to travel in February, there are of course other sights to discover. Among them is the French Quarter, which you probably know best from movies and series. The typical wood and brick houses with their metal decorations are really unique. The quarter welcomes you with small cafés and cute souvenir stores. For an afternoon walk, you should go to the Garden District. Colorful magnolia, camellia, jasmine and azalea trees line the streets and provide shade in the heat. You should definitely spend one of the best girls’ trips in 2021 here with your USA travel partners.
Lisbon, Portugal
The list of the best girls’ city trips for 2021 will end in Europe, more precisely in Portugal. Let’s go crazy in Lisbon! The city on the Atlantic Ocean offers a lot of sights that you should visit during your girls’ vacation. One of the most beautiful districts is Alfama, right in the center and part of the old town. In this part of the city, you will find the typical narrow streets of Lisbon, with small backyards and colorful mosaics on the walls of houses. In Alfama, you will also find one of the best viewpoints, the Miradouro de Santa Luzia. Here you can also explore the surrounding streets or have your dinner with the best view.
In Baixa, you will find an impressive and unique construction because suddenly you will find yourself in front of a high metal tower, the Elevador de Santa Justa. This is an elevator that connects the districts of Baixa and Chiado. It has existed since 1902 and still uses the original construction.
Trips in nature
If you have a little more than a long weekend, you should grab your girls and explore nature around the world. We’ve compiled three locations worldwide that should be on your bucket list for the best girls’ trips for 2021.
Sardinia, Italy
Sardinia is a large Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea and impresses with numerous sandy beaches, sweet places, and a cool water sports scene. On Sardinia, it is really special that you can find both crystal clear water and golden sandy beaches. This results in beautiful bays surrounded by lush green forests. In Sardinia, you should rent a car with your friends, because you can drive to any beach you want to see.
If you want to party like the celebs, you can go to Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia. Here you can experience the Italian culture as well as the nightlife directly on the beach. But Sardinia is also popular among water sports enthusiasts. Many travelers come here for surfing, but if not everyone in your group wants to float on a board, they can also relax on the beach. Sardinia is just perfect for the summer, here you will definitely get the summer you miss out on in Germany!
Bali, Indonesia
What else can we say about Bali that you don’t already know. Especially due to Instagram, Bali is at the top of the list, even high school graduates often have Bali on their bucket list for their trip after graduation. But there are still many people who haven’t been to this beautiful island yet and urgently need to catch up. There is a lot to see in Bali, so we will only look at three of the thousands of attractions in this article. Your journey begins in the city of Seminyak, which will impress you with its beautiful beaches. Here it is rather touristic, there are many hotels, but also nice restaurants and small stores.
For all active girls among you, Batur is the next destination. It is a constantly active stratovolcano, which is very popular especially with climbers and hikers. You should come here at sunrise. Our third attraction is the temple Pura Besakih, one of the many temples on the island. This temple is the most important one on the island and was probably founded in the 8th century. The whole temple complex contains over 200 buildings that you can visit! For Bali, you will definitely need more than 2 weeks to really experience the island. Nevertheless, the island belongs on the list of the best girls’ trips for 2021!
Bodensee, Germany
This destination is for all girls who prefer to stay in their home country and don’t want to fly far away. Here you can get there comfortably by car or by train. Lake Constance connects Germany, Austria and Switzerland, so you can also travel abroad by ferry! A beautiful city on the shore is Lindau, on the German side of the lake. Here you can still find buildings from the 12th century! But Meersburg is also unique. The town is a bit smaller and surrounded by high vineyards.
The city is overlooked by the castle Meersburg, which is definitely worth a visit. The region around Lake Constance is perfect to spend the summer on a boat, but the surrounding area of the Allgäu is also well suited for hiking tours.
The year 2021 will be unique. Make sure it’s also really fun with the help of a girls’ trip! Because no matter where you go, you will make your time an adventure and never forget what you have experienced together. If you are still looking for the right travel group, have a look at JoinMyTrip.
