Portugal's pleasant weather is famous, getting more sunshine on average than California! You'll find this true in May, which offers a balmy climate for beach-hopping, Port sipping, or getting lost in Lisbon: one of the best European cities to visit in May.
With vibrant cities, samba rhythms and diverse landscapes, Brazil is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places to travel in May. Enjoy the balmy weather and immerse yourself in Brazil's rich culture and natural beauty.
South Africa is one of the best May travel destinations for wildlife spotting. As it's the winter dry season, the foliage thins out and animals come to the waterholes - making it ideal for an exhilarating safari in Kruger National Park.
