If your travel plans were put on hold by lockdown, you are probably itching to get out and see the world. But things are still not back to normal, and even though you will be able to start planning your trips for 2021, it’s important to stay safe. There are some places, like America, where things are still not under control and travelling there isn’t a great idea. The good news is, there are plenty of countries where the covid situation is much better and you can have a relaxing travel experience without worrying about your safety. These are some of the safest places to visit in 2021.
Iceland
Iceland is a destination that is on most people’s bucket lists for one reason; the Northern Lights. There’s nothing else in the world that can quite match the experience of seeing the Northern Lights and, even though you can see it in other places, Iceland is one of the best. If you want to fly into Iceland in the near future, you will need to get a fit to fly covid test and take proof of your negative result before they let you in. The good news is, you won’t have to quarantine when you get there, so you can start exploring right away. If you stay outside of the major cities, you will be safe and there are plenty of beautiful hiking trails with impressive fjords and waterfalls to explore. If you search on Airbnb, you can find plenty of secluded properties that are perfect if you want to explore the surrounding natural landscape and catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
The Maldives
If you are desperate to get some sun and spend a few weeks living a life of luxury, the Maldives is perfect. They have low rates of coronavirus and tourists are not subject to a lot of the restrictions that the locals are, so it’s the ideal way to get away from it all. You will have to be tested beforehand, but once there, you can stay in a secluded resort that feels very safe. It’s easy to forget all of the difficulties of the last year when you are laying on a beautiful beach or swimming in the clear blue ocean.
Cuba
Cuba is a brilliant destination that often gets missed off people’s bucket lists, which is such a shame. It has been modernized a lot in recent years, so there are plenty of great places to stay. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s lost its charm. Visiting Havana is a once in a lifetime experience, but you should also spend some time visiting the east side of the island, where you will find beautiful forests and secluded beaches.
The UK
If you are really concerned about your safety, there is no need to get on a flight at all. Why not take advantage of the UK instead and explore some of the amazing places right on your doorstep?
Even though things are looking more positive right now, the danger is still there. So, if you want to travel in 2021, these are the best destinations to go for.
