Where's the best place to go if you want a weekend getaway abroad?

Even it is no longer unthinkable to fly to New York for a weekend bit jet lag!)
Also consider Marrakesh, Seville, Malaga, ....

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel for a week to ten days?

These days it is increasingly easy to choose a destination far away even for short vacations: taking the car to Italy to go skiing takes as long as a flight to Thailand. Moreover, because of the many new impressions you gain during that time, and the certainty of heat or sun, the return on a short, distant vacation can be a lot higher. In addition, cheap, short vacations to Mediterranean and Canary Island countries have increased dramatically. The danger with these latter vacations is that you go at a time when the water is still freezing cold, the temperature is disappointing or the rain is pouring down.
Taking into account the possibilities of seeing a lot in a short time and traveling little, the flight time and the temperatures, you will get an overview of the best destinations for the “short” vacation below:

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel away for three weeks?

The ideal time for exploring a country or part of a somewhat larger country is three to four weeks. Even world travelers usually don't spend much longer in the same area. In that time you can both travel around, visit cities and rest for a while. Do try to pick destinations where you don't have to travel three days to get from one highlight to the next.

Where is the best place to go if you want to travel for a few months to a year?

How long should your world trip be? Do you need a year, or is a month or four enough? Of course, this depends largely on your itinerary and your budget. In practice, hardly anyone manages to make a real world trip in a year. Often whole continents have to be skipped in order not to run out of time or money.
Anyone who wants to make a trip from Australia through Southeast Asia to India and/or China can basically do it in three to five months. You will then be in a country almost as long as most other world travelers who also have other continents on their schedule.
When you skip expensive countries like Australia, New Zealand, the U.S. and some South American countries, it is a lot more financially attractive to go for a year instead of a few months. After all, your biggest expense, the flight, is already done by then.
The advantage of going away for a year is that you can totally rearrange your itineraries and stay in one place for a long time more easily without throwing your schedules into too much disarray.
