Best places to visit in July...

Every July the city of Calgary plays host to the ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’ - the famous Calgary Stampede. The nine-day festival celebrating the heritage and community spirit of Western Canada is included in Titan’s Calgary Stampede and the Rockies itinerary which offers visitors the chance to be at the heart of this unique extravaganza of live music, parades, exhibitions, fairground rides and a variety of other attractions. Canada itself also boasts incredible natural beauty in July, with a number of idyllic lakes - including Lake Louise and Moraine Lake - sparkling in the summer climate and the surrounding scenery showcasing vibrant green colours and crisp views of the dominant mountains being easy to capture.

Summer is the perfect summer month to flee to a wonderful, tranquil destination, but where to holiday in July? The Seychelles is the ideal paradise-themed holiday. White-powdery sand beaches, a luxurious climate, turquoise waters and surreal snorkeling are just a few of the reasons that this destination is the idyllic, relaxing location that travellers pick time and time again.

The UK’s summery jewel, Devon makes a spellbinding break in July. The national parks, rustic villages and fascinating coastal towns come alive in the summer time and along with the beautiful beaches, and breathtaking countryside scenery, it is the perfect place to reside for a short break. There is also plenty of fantastic experiences to be had in Devon this time of year such as embarking on the longest established steam railway in the south west for an unforgettable scenic rail journey to Totnes Littlehempston, discovering the famous National Trust Carriage Museum and exploring the Dartmoor National Park, a moorland home to forests, pretty rivers, intriguing rock formations and craggy landscapes - and with the warmth of July, all make unforgettable memories for visitors.
