Top 5 Destinations to Travel in 2024 - Long Term

Editorial Summary

The creators discuss their top five travel destinations for long-term stays, defined as periods of three months or longer. Having traveled to over 20 countries, they select locations based on a general feeling of wanting to return rather than a strict checklist. Their fifth place choice is Chiang Mai, Thailand, noted for its walkable streets, night markets, and affordable food, though one creator preferred the coastal atmosphere of Da Nang. Their fourth place picks include Split, Croatia, and Brașov, Romania. While Split offered a scenic promenade, Brașov was praised for its mountain views, great craft beer, and accessible grocery stores. The third place destination is Alicante, Spain, which they revisited due to its ease of coastal travel, public transportation, and vibrant farmers markets. Their second place pick is Fethiye, Turkey, a recent addition to their list that impressed them with its friendly atmosphere, coffee shops, and extensive walking paths. Finally, the Algarve in Portugal takes the top spot, specifically highlighting the sandy beaches and the ability to explore various towns like Lagos and Vila Real de Santo António. They conclude by noting that while these locations are suitable for three-month stays under standard visas, travelers should research specific requirements for even longer stays.
