There are plenty of factors to consider when you identify your next holiday destination. Which city’s flight price can your budget forgive? Which scenic landscapes are the most aligned with the vision you have in mind for your Instagram photos? Which locale has the most spots on your dream restaurant list?
As you assess where you might jet off to based on those fickle logistics, might we suggest also consulting your zodiac sign? Whether you’re a daily horoscope loyalist or still somewhat of an astrology skeptic, the fact remains that there are widely accepted personality traits and behaviours attributed to each of the 12 signs. And because of those shared qualities, each sign has certain clothing styles, makeup looks, and even daily routines that line up best with their core traits. Travel destinations are no different.
Suppose you think about it, on any given trip. In that case, you’re exploring a city’s landscapes, historical sites, nightlife scenes, food offerings, vintage shopping options, and whatever else your stamina has the capacity for. (Though if you’re a piña colada and beach sit for 12 hours-type of holidayer, you’re beyond valid too.)
So if you want to make the most of your OOO time, why not pick a spot where local qualities are the most aligned with your zodiac-destined traits? If you’re a fire sign who lives for a 48-hour party town getaway, or a water sign who wants to explore the depths of a foreign city’s history, look no further. We have spots for you. And if you desire a range of travel options, be sure to check the locations for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign. Then come back to us when it’s time to plan out your vacation looks.
Aries

You’re confident, bursting with energy, and most often spontaneous. A trip to Brazil’s capital will provide you with ample opportunities to explore Rio’s vibrant nightlife scene (Espaço Hall is a hit) or get outdoorsy and adventurous (in stereotypical Aries fashion) at the beach or on a hiking trail (like Corcovado Trail). The city is filled with adrenaline.

Venus-rules Tauruses will always gravitate toward the most luxurious situation available. So the Amalfi Coast, with all of its gorgeous landscapes, indulgent local cuisine, and upscale stays, is the perfect destination for any Taurus looking to unwind, which this sign always is.
Gemini
Amsterdam, Netherlands

No other sign has more of a thirst for knowledge and variety. Amsterdam’s more intellectual staples, like its art galleries and historical sites, will satisfy your desire to leave every trip with a new sense of understanding. And its walkability and active nightlife scene will allow you to naturally find a new hidden gem each day of your journey. This isn’t somewhere you’ll get bored.
Cancer
Cotswolds, England

This region is perfect for Cancers, a sign that’s all about comfort and preserving the peace. The Cotswolds’ charming villages and picturesque atmosphere will leave this emotionally tapped-in water sign with a renewed sense of serenity. Stop by a tearoom or go for a stroll that overlooks the signature rolling hills. You’ll probably feel like you’re in your favourite comfort fantasy movie.
Leo
Barcelona, Spain

The sign ruled by the Sun deserves a trip that’s as energetic as they are. So, a jam-packed itinerary in Barcelona will fulfil you. Leos are the most comfortable around creativity and shameless self-expression. Barcelona’s constant festivals, street performances, and iconic landmarks make it the perfect getaway spot for thrill-seeking Leos. It also welcomes the opportunity to recreate the ‘Strut’ scene from The Cheetah Girls 2 if you’re someone who feels like they’re life’s true main character (which is every Leo).
Virgo
Athens, Greece

A trip to the city named after the goddess of wisdom feels almost too right for thoughtful, knowledge-hungry Virgos. You’ll be able to peruse through the city’s museum and ancient ruins, but you also might appreciate how laid back this city is. This is a sign that truly hates feeling overstimulated, and while Athens has a bunch going on, from yummy Greek cuisine to iconic architecture, it won’t make you overextend yourself.
Libra
South of France

Harmonious and aesthetically-oriented Libras will truly feel at home in this area of the world. There are almost too many famous vineyards and relaxing Mediterranean beaches in Nice and Saint-Tropez to pop by. The entire region is easy on the eye (Libra’s preferred setting), plus its perfect blend of French and Italian architecture really represents this sign’s love for balance.
Scorpio
Tokyo, Japan

You crave depth and transformation, and in my experience, no one leaves Tokyo the same person they were beforehand. Spend one day exploring Omoide Yokocho Memory Lane, or even lounging in one of the city’s scenic spots, and you’ll feel energised by all of the culture, innovation, and gorgeous settings that this corner of the world has to offer.
Sagittarius
Mamanuca Islands, Fiji

One of your sign’s hallmarks is the love of travel, so your next trip should be somewhere both out of the box and awe-inspiring. There’s endless exploration available in the Mamanuca Islands. You can spend your mornings surfing (or attempting to) in the South Pacific, and your afternoons relaxing in a sick resort with private beachfront villas. There’s simply no way you can feel down in Fiji, perfect for this sign’s naturally optimistic spirit.
Aquarius
Papagayo Peninsula, Costa Rica

You are someone who always wants to go against the grain, and your desired vacation is no different. This escape has got well-secluded beaches, sprawling luxury accommodations, and diverse wildlife exploration opportunities. You can zip-line through the treetops one day and sail on a catamaran the next.
Pisces
Yosemite, California

Not to pick favourites, but you’re a truly dreamy sign who can appreciate Mother Nature’s magic on a deeper level. I can so see Pisces people being entranced by Yosemite’s mystical natural environment (but when are they not in a daydreaming state). Trust that the gorgeous waterfalls throughout will rejuvenate this water sign’s soul.
