For a
lot of people, life begins for real only after they retire. When kids are all
grown up and work is not a concern anymore, they find that they finally have
time for themselves. Once they are no longer limited by time and practical
concerns, they can truly enjoy life and appreciate all its possibilities. But
what are some of the best places to visit for senior travelers? Take a look at
our top choices.
Seductive Provence and the Loire Valley, France
Have
you truly traveled, if you haven’t seen France? Forgo the tourist traps of
Paris, and instead relax among the vineyards and lavender fields France is
known for all over the planet. The fertile valley of the Loire river is full of
medieval castles, towns and valleys, and the whole region is a World Heritage
site. Head south to the hills of Provence to see the Roman ruins, or even
further, to the Cote d’Azur, where the world’s elite lounges on yachts and
bathes in the dazzlingly blue waters of the Mediterranean.

Lively Sydney
The bustling metropolis might not be Australia’s capital, but it is its
most populous, cultured, dynamic and arguably most beautiful city. The city itself
boasts some world famous golden-sand beaches, like Bondi and Manly. It has also
become a veritable foodie heaven in recent years, with amazing choices for both
fine dining and cheap eats. If you get tired of beach life and numerous events
– a lot of them free – that are organized throughout the entire year, head to
Hunter Valley for Australia’s finest wines, or to the World Heritage listed
Blue Mountains where you can cool off and enjoy spectacular natural wonders. In
fact, some senior travelers enjoy Sydney so much, they decide to stay for good
and invest in comfortable luxury retirement homes.
Mythical Iceland
Although
Iceland does not exactly top many travelers’ lists when it comes to European
trips, it should. This island country in Scandinavia is surreal in its beauty.
It is, in fact so beautiful, the landscape so mystical, and its culture so
steeped in legends and myths, it feels otherworldly. This relatively sparsely
populated country lies on shaky ground: it lies on 130 volcanoes, 30 of which
are active. However, they are exactly the source of one of Iceland’s biggest
attractions – the numerous geysers. Bathing in the mineral-rich Blue Lagoon, an
open-air geothermal lagoon with warm milky blue water is an unmissable
experience. Depending on the season, you can also see the midnight sun (in
June) or the polar lights (August to April). Iceland is also an extremely well
organized country with friendly locals.
Breathtaking Tuscany, Italy
Tuscany
is hailed the world over as the most heavenly landscape on the planet, and the
reputation is well-earned. No description can come close to depicting the
reality of the golden hills, the proud and solemn cypresses reaching to touch
the brilliant blue sky, the sound of crickets in olive groves, and the charming
medieval towns that seem to be perched on every hilltop. With mouthwatering
food, fascinating culture and architecture, fashionable stores, excellent wines
and laidback locals, there’s no better destination for a vacation than Tuscany.
It’s
never too late to discover the wonders of the world. Choose your destination
and opt for the shoulder season to avoid throngs of tourists. And don’t forget
to take advantage of your age: you will find that most locations have numerous
discounts for senior travelers.
