Nicaragua has been a gem location for backpackers for a while now, but Millennials are onto the secret. Very affordable with countless trails that offer mind-blowing views and an intimate connection with undefiled nature, Nicaragua does not disappoint when it comes to offering unforgettable experiences.

Havana

Improved relations between the U.S and Cuba have made the country more accessible, and Millennials are salivating at the opportunity of touring Cuba’s distinctly cultured capital city, Havana, with its grand monuments. Upcoming construction efforts that will change Havana’s sights have made the place a priority destination with many desiring to enjoy the city as-is.

Thailand

Thailand ticks many Millennials’ checkboxes travel-wise. It is generally cheap with excellent accommodation. The cuisine is excellent, security is more or less assured, Wi-Fi is widely available, the society is very accepting, and above all, the country has magnificent sceneries and dozens of exotic trails. The fact that it is also the plastic surgery capital of the world adds more gloss to Thailand’s shiny reputation as a perfect destination.

Cape town

Cape Town offers a non-representative snapshot of the rich, multifaceted African culture from music, dance and food to the African way of life and fine art. It is especially popular for Millennial honeymoon goers looking for top value for their money. The sceneries, also, do not disappoint.

Australia

Budget friendliness is not Australia’s strong suit, but the country delivers on almost everything else. Featuring exotic wildlife, great trails, world-renowned reefs, and a great climate, Millennials are quick to voice their desire for visiting the place. The fact that Australia offers holiday work visas is a plus that activates a work-as-you-play scenario that has proven popular with Millennials.

Colorado

Colorado is replete with fun things to do for youthful travel enthusiasts throughout the year, the climate notwithstanding. Pikes Peak, the Rocky Mountain National Park, Mesa Verde National Park among others make Colorado perfect for hiking, sightseeing, rafting, skiing, cycling, fishing, camping, among a host of other things.

Greece

Greek Islands such as Mykonos, Kos, and Rhodes are known for their off-the-hook parties, and Millennials, with their high affinity for grand, unchained parties, cannot help but want to visit the place. The Greek populace is also very welcoming, and with great food and a rich history, Greece is a prime European travel location considering that it is not that expensive relative to other European destinations.

Indonesia

Indonesia is an excellent budget destination, and with over 17,000 islands, views and graceful spots to discover and unwind in are aplenty. Culinary delights abound, and the locals are quite friendly and accommodating. The place ranks just a bit below Thailand as a Southeast Asia travel destination for Millennials.

Vancouver

Aided by the 150th-anniversary celebrations, Vancouver has skyrocketed into many Millennials’ lists of must-visit places. Surrounded by mountains and the sea, there is no shortage of revitalizing fun activities all year round. Postcard views are in abundance, and the place has even become a favorite for U.S citizens looking to relocate.

Las-Vegas

The gambling capital of the world is a desirable location for Millennials, particularly the Las Vegas Strip. Also known as sin city, the mind-numbing alternatives for having fun make Vegas a haven for holiday seekers. Inexpensiveness is not part of its attraction, but there are unapparent pocket-friendly options that make it relatively affordable.

Mexico

From party destinations such as Cancun to culture-rich places such as Merida, Mexico is throbbing with beautiful places to visit for Millennials. It is also somewhat inexpensive and naturally endowed with excellent beaches, mountains that provide scenic trails, as well as jungles for wildlife lovers. Mayan ruins are also a notable attraction.

Colombia

Colombia is among the few countries lucky enough to enjoy access to both the Atlantic and the Pacific which automatically means great beaches. A visually stunning country that boasts the iconic Andes, and great coffee, Colombia is a beloved travel destination by people of all ages.

Paris

A famed city for enjoying art, heavenly cuisine, a history that dates back to beyond the dark ages, and great wine and cognac, Paris is virtually a permanent fixture on every Millennial’s list of places to visit. The fact that it is neither expensive nor cheap also helps.

Italy

A largely mountainous country, Italy has plenty of amazing sceneries with excellent beaches to boot. Being a country with a rich, historical heritage, Millennials hope to see sights such as the Leaning Tower, the Colosseum, medieval cathedrals, gilded art galleries featuring works of renowned artists, among other things. The great cuisine and distinguished cities such as Venice, Pompeii, and Florence sweeten the deal.

Spain

Spain has a bit of everything which makes it perfect for Millennials of all orientations. In fact, it ranks third on the list of most visited places by all people. For party lovers, there is Majorca and Ibiza; for nature lovers, scenic routes are plentiful; and for adventure lovers, there are many locations to explore.

Tour companies are capitalizing on Millennials’ burning desire to see the world by negotiating cheaper rates in elite travel destinations around the world. This means that cost is consistently ceasing to be much of a hindrance, a factor that is further elevating millennial travel.
