No matter how many times we\u2019ve visited before, we never quite get over the kick of the British accent, obsession with tea, and quaint alleyways nestled within a thriving metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since it\u2019s nearly impossible to see all that London has to offer in a quick trip, it\u2019s a great excuse to take advantage of any amount of vacation days you\u2019ve accrued and extend your trip as long as you can get away with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">London really is one of those cities that has something for everyone. The expansive amount of things to do is just one of many reasons why everyone needs to visit London at least once. A few other top reasons to consider London as your 2026 destination includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visiting famous sites such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the London Eye. See them in true British fashion by hopping on the top decker of a red doubledecker bus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Embracing the lively nightlife at any of the neighborhood pubs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Getting lost in the wide variety of neighborhoods from trendy Camden Town to posh Notting Hill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shopping nearly any brand you could possibly imagine. If you enjoy shopping in cities like New York or Los Angeles, London is the obvious choice for your next vacation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A quick travel note before you go:<\/strong> As of February 2026, US citizens now need an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/eta\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/eta\">Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)<\/a> before flying to the UK, even for short tourist visits. It&#8217;s a simple online application, costs \u00a320, and is valid for two years, but it does need to be approved before you travel, so build in a little lead time when booking your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Cancun_Mexico\"><\/span>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/mexico\/quintana-roo\/cancun\">Canc\u00fan, Mexico<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cancun-drone-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cancun-drone-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cancun-drone-rent-by-owner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cancun-drone-rent-by-owner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/cancun-drone-rent-by-owner.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Shutterstock.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/mariakray\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mariakray<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to understand why this Mexican gem is the 2nd trending destination for US travelers in 2026. Always one of our favorite places to visit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/mexico\/quintana-roo\/cancun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canc\u00fan<\/a> practically guarantees its guests warm weather, welcoming waters, flavorful food, and friendly locals. Situated in the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula, a stay in Canc\u00fan doesn\u2019t just give you access to the city\u2019s amenities but also to the entire thriving region.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there\u2019s nothing underrated about planning a vacation to Canc\u00fan, that\u2019s part of the reason it continues to be so popular year after year. Although in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mexico<\/a>, many locals speak English and are more than accustomed to guiding foreigners through a vacation of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s well known that in Canc\u00fan you\u2019ll have one of the world\u2019s most beautiful beaches just outside your door. Here are a few more reasons to visit than just that:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exploring rich Mayan history. With temples hidden in the rainforest and strewn along the coast, the Mayan roots remained strong here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eating fresh and cheap Mexican food on any corner.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inviting weather all year round. Famed as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/vancouver-snowbirds-travel\">snowbird destination<\/a>, nearly anytime you decide to visit Canc\u00fan, you\u2019ll get plenty of sunshine and warm weather.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A bang for your buck that\u2019s hard to beat. If you\u2019re someone that loves opulent accommodation and high-end amenities (without having to break the bank), you\u2019ll be spoiled for choice in where to stay in Canc\u00fan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Paris_France\"><\/span>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/france\/paris\">Paris, France<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-paris-france-rent-by-owner-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-paris-france-rent-by-owner-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-paris-france-rent-by-owner-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-paris-france-rent-by-owner-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-paris-france-rent-by-owner.jpg 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Shutterstock.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/SosnaRadosna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SosnaRadosna<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">World-renowned as the City of Love, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/france\/paris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Paris<\/a> is high on the bucket list for nearly everyone we know. If you haven\u2019t yet strolled the streets of Paris in the evening with the gleaming lights of the Eiffel Tower in the distance as you sip a glass of wine, this is the year for you to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there\u2019s nothing new about Paris\u2019 popularity, it\u2019s one of those cities you need to visit at least once in your lifetime. Although it gets a reputation for being expensive and pretentious, there\u2019s far more to it than that. But, if that\u2019s what\u2019s drawing you into the city, that bubble certainly exists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For everyone else that wants to see Paris behind the scenes, there\u2019s plenty of reasons to entice you to book your flights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Seeing some of the most famous architectural sites in the world, from the Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having your choice of more Michelin starred restaurants than any other city has to offer. If high-end dining isn\u2019t your scene, you\u2019ll be more than happy with Paris\u2019 bread and cheese selection.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Evaluating the incredible art scene. While you need to start at the Louvre, there are plenty of other museums and galleries for art fans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strolling through the well-manicured parks and gardens. The parks in Paris really take it up a notch with their intricate landscaping. This is a city you\u2019ll want to see on foot.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Planning ahead:<\/strong> The EU is rolling out a new entry system called <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-europe.europa.eu\/en\/etias\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/travel-europe.europa.eu\/en\/etias\">ETIAS<\/a> for visa-exempt travelers, expected to launch later in 2026.

As the capital of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/puerto-rico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Puerto Rico<\/a>, it\u2019s the easiest way to get onto the island and then spread out from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re interested in pristine beaches, jaw dropping nature, and a small town feel, you should consider flying into San Juan but staying in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/puerto-rico\/vieques-island\">Vieques<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/puerto-rico\/culebra\/flamenco-beach\">Playa Flamenco<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/puerto-rico\/rincon\">Rinc\u00f3n<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/puerto-rico\/lajas\/la-parguera\">La Parguera<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If though you\u2019d like to have a wide array of things to do and a more bustling area to explore during your vacation to Puerto Rico, staying in San Juan is a great decision. A few reasons to book your 2026 trip to San Juan include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Exploring the rich history of one of the oldest cities in the Americas in Old San Juan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoying a variety of restaurants boasting traditional dishes. The cuisine here mixes the island\u2019s Spanish, Taino (indigenous Caribbeans), and African influences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Being able to get \u201cabroad\u201d without needing a passport. If you\u2019re a US citizen, you can travel to Puerto Rico without a passport, making it the most accessible place in the Caribbean for all Americans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Taking advantage of the plethora of day trips available to you. Since there\u2019s so much beauty to immerse yourself in in Puerto Rico, staying in San Juan is actually one of the best places to stay to take advantage of a number of different day trips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Toronto_Canada\"><\/span>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/canada\/ontario\/toronto\">Toronto, Canada<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-toronto-rent-by-owner-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-toronto-rent-by-owner-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-toronto-rent-by-owner-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-toronto-rent-by-owner-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-toronto-rent-by-owner.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Shutterstock.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/Dan+Sedran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dan Sedran<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re looking for an underrated gem of a city, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/canada\/ontario\/toronto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toronto<\/a> is what you\u2019ve been searching for. Even though it doesn\u2019t get the same hype as other major cities like London, Paris, or New York, Toronto is an incredible destination with plenty to offer its guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known as a diverse city, in Toronto you really can find anything you\u2019re looking for. If you plan on shopping, you\u2019ll find your style; if you\u2019re craving a certain food, they\u2019ll have plenty of restaurants to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Canadians are notoriously polite and friendly, so unlike other cities whose residents get lost in the hustle and bustle, Torontonians are far more welcoming to strangers, giving you an added pinch of sweetness to your vacation. On top of this, a few other reasons Toronto is a trending destination is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The city is a foodie haven. For any cuisine you can imagine, there will be a budget, mid-range, and high-end restaurant to choose from. Kensington Market is especially worth a visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It offers a great mix of urban jungle and natural spaces. Like any great city, you\u2019ll find plenty of green spaces in Toronto whenever you need a respite from the city buzz.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are cultural events held here all year round. Nearly anytime you visit, there\u2019s likely a cultural event you can take part in, from film festivals to food festivals and everything in between.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It serves as a great base for seeing more of Eastern Canada. While the city itself is worth spending your entire vacation in, if you\u2019d like to see more of Canada while here, there\u2019s a lot of day trips nearby to choose from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Montego_Bay_Jamaica\"><\/span>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/jamaica\/montego-bay\">Montego Bay, Jamaica<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-montego-bay-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-montego-bay-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-montego-bay-rent-by-owner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-montego-bay-rent-by-owner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-montego-bay-rent-by-owner.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Shutterstock.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/col\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CO Leong<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What country possibly epitomizes tranquility and a laid back mindset more than Jamaica? If you\u2019re eager for a vacation to break free from cities and really get as far away from your daily life as possible, there\u2019s no better place than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/jamaica\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jamaica<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/jamaica\/montego-bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Montego Bay<\/a> is one of the best places in Jamaica for tourists to visit. When flying into Montego Bay, you have the same options as you do when flying into San Juan, Puerto Rico. If you\u2019re in Jamaica for tranquility and natural beauty opt to stay in nearby <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/jamaica\/negril\">Negril<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, if you crave more amenities and a bigger diversity of things to do, it\u2019s best to stay in the city. A few reasons Montego Bay is one of the trending destinations in 2026 is because of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The plethora of international and Jamaica restaurants in Montego Bay. For the best restaurants in the city, head straight to the \u201cHip Strip\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The high-end accommodations and amenities at a relatively low cost. Like a visit to Mexico, the dollar stretches farther here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The underwater activities you have to choose from. From snorkeling to scuba diving, the underwater ecosystem around Montego Bay is thriving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The easy going attitude of locals will rub off on you. We\u2019re sure you\u2019ll leave Montego Bay feeling fully refreshed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jamaica saw some storm-related disruption in late 2025, but the island&#8217;s tourism infrastructure has since recovered, and as of January 2026 travel conditions are back to the same baseline level as most popular Caribbean destinations. As always, it&#8217;s worth checking current conditions before you book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Dubai_UAE\"><\/span>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/united-arab-emirates\/dubai\">Dubai, UAE<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-dubai-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-dubai-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-dubai-rent-by-owner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-dubai-rent-by-owner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-dubai-rent-by-owner.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Shutterstock.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/shutterlk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shutterlk<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard the stories: tigers riding shotgun in their owners&#8217; Lamborghinis, man-made islands made in the shape of palm trees, and an indoor ski park that produces snow all year round. Whether it\u2019s simply out of curiosity or because you want to join in on the opulence, a trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/united-arab-emirates\/dubai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubai<\/a> is certainly one for the books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located in the heart of the Middle East, Dubai is the dream destination of the rich and famous throughout the globe and those of us intrigued enough to see it. Don\u2019t worry though, there\u2019s plenty of budget-friendly and free activities to partake in, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few of the top reasons Dubai is a trending vacation destination from the US is:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A handful of US airports now offer direct flights to Dubai, making it more accessible than ever to US residents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s a chance to enjoy a region that not many Americans have decided to visit yet. The Middle East has a shaky reputation on US soil but a visit to Dubai is the perfect chance to toss those stereotypes aside and see the true vibrancy of the region.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019ll never run out of things to do. If you\u2019re a traveler that tends to bore easily, you\u2019ll love your vacation to Dubai. With a never ending list of things to do, no two days of your vacation will feel the same.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can reach new heights by heading to the top of the highest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa skyscraper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Rome_Italy\"><\/span>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/lazio\/rome\/179899\">Rome, Italy<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-rome-italy-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-rome-italy-rent-by-owner-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-rome-italy-rent-by-owner-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-rome-italy-rent-by-owner-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/shutterstock-rome-italy-rent-by-owner.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Shutterstock.com\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/g\/sepavo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sean Pavone<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did someone say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Italy<\/a>?

You\u2019re most likely imagining piles of fresh food (and gelato to top it off), impressive landscapes, and a vibrant culture and long lasting history.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the heart of that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentbyowner.com\/all\/italy\/lazio\/rome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rome<\/a>. As the capital of Italy, you\u2019ll get all of the best aspects of Italian life rolled up into one location.

Regardless of the exact location you choose for your vacation, Costa Rica is a top trending choice because of its:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Incredible biodiversity. From thick jungles to expansive beaches, this country is seriously green and teeming with wildlife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ease of domestic travel. Americans have been flocking to Costa Rica for decades which means the locals are incredibly accustomed to tourists. While their national language is Spanish, many people speak English.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amount of adventurous activities. From surfing to zip ling, Costa Rica is an adventurer&#8217;s dream destination. There\u2019s more activities and excursions you could do in just one vacation, making it a tempting place to go back to year after year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Direct flights from almost anywhere in the US.

Denpasar is the capital city of the island of Bali and will be your starting point to this magical land.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bali has boomed in popularity in the past few years. Made famous by the digital nomads who traveled to the island and never left, it\u2019s a fantastic destination if you can handle the long flight. Nearly as far away from the US as you can get, the travel there isn\u2019t for the faint of heart. Once you\u2019re on the island though, it\u2019ll all be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we\u2019re sure you\u2019ve heard Bali mentioned time and time again, you might not know exactly why this magical island continues to trap visitors in its web. Denpasar, or Bali, is our 10th trending destination because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It\u2019s a haven for holistic practitioners. If you\u2019re looking for a space where people believe in meditation, holistic medicine, and the power of manifestation, you\u2019ll find your tribe in Bali.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Its natural beauty is rivaled by few. Although a small island, Bali\u2019s coastline is full of beautiful beaches and its interior is all about lush jungles and thriving mountains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The local Balinese people are extremely welcoming. Part of the reason people love Bali so much is due to the friendly Balinese people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traveling within the island is easy, so long as you\u2019re OK with tuk-tuks or scooters as your main means of transportation.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you can explore the island, you&#8217;ll need to pay <a href=\"https:\/\/lovebali.baliprov.go.id\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/lovebali.baliprov.go.id\/\">Bali&#8217;s tourist levy<\/a>, a one-time fee of about $10 USD (IDR 150,000) collected on arrival.
