The 3 best places to travel every month of 2019
[greece tourist traveler]Getty Images * Business Insider has spent a year finding the best best places to visit in the world for each month of the year. * Now, we've taken the top destinations and compiled them into a travel guide for each month of 2019. * The best places to visit in 2019 include tropical paradises, rugged outdoor playgrounds, and vibrant cultural hubs. The new year is right around the corner, which means there's no better time to start thinking about where you want to visit in 2019. Over the course of 2018, I've compiled Business Insider's "Best Places to Visit" series, highlighting 13 destinations that are best for holiday travel for every month of the year. Business Insider considered everything from airfare trends and climate data to local cultural events to determine the optimal month to travel to each destination. February, for example, offers the cheapest airfare to Hawaii, with November coming in a close second. _RELATED: See the entire "Best Places to Visit" series, highlighting 13 destinations each month_ Now, as 2019 approaches, I'm taking three of the best destinations from each month and presenting them below. The following guide can help you plan a year's worth of vacations and cover everything on your traveler's checklist, from famed historic sites to vibrant nightlife, tropical paradises to icy wonderlands. Check out the best places to travel each month of 2019, and enjoy planning. JANUARY — ASPEN, COLORADO Shutterstock/kan_khampanya WHAT WE SAID: "More than 200 inches of snow lure winter sports lovers to scenic Aspen, Colorado, each winter. "Although December through February are the most expensive months to travel to this powdery haven, early January is when rates for hotels and ski lifts are the most affordable of the season. That's the sweet spot on the calendar between December holidays and the start of the annual X Games, which start in late January." FIND OTHER PLACES TO TRAVEL IN JANUARY HERE » JANUARY — HARBIN, CHINA Shutterstock/aphotostory WHAT WE SAID: "Winter temperatures plunge below zero in Harbin, China's northernmost major city. But there's a reason more than 10 million travelers flock there each December, January, and February — the Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival. "The festival — the largest of its kind in the world — centers on a surreal, neon-lit theme park with castles, sculptures, and replicas of monuments like the Taj Mahal and the Sphinx, all carved from ice. It's a scene that needs to be witnessed to be believed — just make sure you bring your warmest jacket." FIND OTHER PLACES TO TRAVEL IN JANUARY HERE » JANUARY — WANAKA, NEW ZEALAND Shutterstock/Martin Capek WHAT WE SAID: "Wanaka is a picturesque town on New Zealand's South Island, and it's the perfect place for outdoor adventure. The town's mountain and lakeside setting, as well as its proximity to Mt. Aspiring National Park, make it the ultimate base for outdoor activities like hiking, bicycling, rock climbing and skydiving. Remember, January means warm weather in this part of the world. "Back in town, you can take in the magnificent scenery from viewpoints, go wine-tasting, and while away the hours at quirky places like Puzzling World and the National Transport and Toy Museum." FIND OTHER PLACES TO TRAVEL IN JANUARY HERE » SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER SEE ALSO: * Photos taken by Google over the past decade show how drastically the NYC skyline has changed in just 9 years * We went shopping at Nordstrom and Macy's to see which was a better department store, and the winner was obvious * All 50 states and Washington DC, ranked from least to most average SEE ALSO: 13 PLACES TO VISIT IN JANUARY FOR EVERY TYPE OF TRAVELER DON'T MISS: 13 OF THE BEST PLACES TO VISIT IF YOU'RE PLANNING A VACATION IN FEBRUARY
