Planning on going on a holiday this year but don’t have an idea where to go? Then, keep these wonderful destinations in mind:

 

Brazil

 

If you’ve watched the animated film Rio, you’d know exactly the reasons why you need to visit Rio this year. Brazil offers virgin rainforest, sparkling seas, and empty stretches of beach. If you’re travelling this February, you’ll be able to catch 2013 carnival that is expected to be the most popular and biggest in Brazil’s history. Another must-visit in this country is the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha where powdery white sand awaits you.

 

Philippines

 

Although Philippines is a couple of thousand miles away, it’s definitely worth the long travel. With more than 7,000 heavenly islands, you’ll never run out of wonderful beaches. Visit the archipelago of Palawan if you love palm-fringed white-powder beaches, natural lagoons and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Some of the jaw-dropping islands include Miniloc Island, which is protected by UNESCO, Bacuit Bay, and El Nido Pangulasian Island.

 

Amsterdam

 

If you’re looking for a “good-time” city, Amsterdam is for you. It’s a marvelous place that is greatly enjoyed by cyclist and nature lovers. The city is very open-minded and extremely friendly. Certain neighbourhoods are simply buzzing with creativity. Some offers picturesque on the canals. 2013 is extra special for Amsterdam. This year, the city will celebrate the anniversary of the city’s canals. Rijks museum will also be opened this year after it was closed 10 years ago.
