Unusual places to go in May

Bhutan

This small Himalayan kingdom is often referred to as one of the most peaceful and unspoilt places on earth. In May, temperatures are mild and the countryside is green after the monsoon rains. You can explore hilltop monasteries, discover unique Buddhist culture and take part in colorful festivals, such as the Paro Tsechu festival.

Madagascar

The island of Madagascar, located off the east coast of Africa, offers incredible biodiversity, with flora and fauna unique in the world. May is the dry season, so it’s the perfect time to explore the island’s national parks, where you can spot lemurs, chameleons and a wide variety of birds.

Tromsø, Norway

For a truly unique experience, why not visit Tromsø in May? Situated above the Arctic Circle, this Norwegian town offers breathtaking scenery and the chance to see the midnight sun. In May, you can also watch the Northern Lights before the sun shines 24 hours a day during the Arctic summer.

The Faroe Islands

This archipelago between Iceland and Norway is a true hidden gem. In May, the scenery is even more spectacular, with steep cliffs, deep fjords and lush vegetation. You can hike along coastal trails, watch seabirds in their colonies and discover the unique culture of this semi-autonomous territory.

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia

The Guinness Storehouse, located in the historic heart of Dublin, is much more than just a brewery: it’s an immersion in the history of Ireland’s most famous beer. Housed in a seven-storey pint-shaped structure, this interactive museum traces the history of Guinness, from its creation by Arthur Guinness in 1759 to its worldwide renown.
