England’s capital promises one of the best summer vacations in the world because you can see its famous landmarks with a cloudless sky behind them. London evenings are gloriously long, too, with the sun setting after 9 p.m. in July. Enjoy historic sites such as Downing Street, Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament; browse fancy shops in Knightsbridge; and get lost in acres of green space — hello, Hyde Park. You don’t have to rely on the Tube to get around, either. Many of London’s top sites are within easy strolling distance from each other, and walking will give you an even better feel for the city. Want a perfect summer scene that Londoners love? Spend an early evening on Parliament Hill. The panoramic view arcs west from St. Paul’s Cathedral to the financial center’s gleaming skyscrapers.

Take the whole family on an all-inclusive getaway to Cancun this summer. Spend your days lounging (or playing) by the pool, building sandcastles on the beach, joining a group fitness class or exploring a nearby cultural site. At Hilton Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort, the comforts of home — like two-bedroom suites, kids and teens clubs and a variety of dining options — mean that parents can relax knowing their family’s needs are completely taken care of. The large family pool is great for children of all ages, but toddlers will particularly adore the designated splash pool, located right outside the Kids Club. Should the little ones fancy a treat after a day in the sun, there’s an all-you-can-eat ice cream and churro shop on-site, too. The fun for youngsters doesn’t slow in the evenings either, with pint-sized dance parties, face painting, movie nights and more.

In terms of the sheer variety of attractions and activities, it’s hard to think of a more impressive summer vacation destination than New York. Top of the list for many visitors to New York is seeing a Broadway show, and there’s a good selection that visitors of all ages will love. Many of them offer private, behind-the-scenes tours that come with additional perks such as exclusive merchandise, meet-and-greets with some of the cast and prime seats for the show. Your concierge at Conrad New York Midtown (steps from the theater district) can help arrange these special seats. Explore the city’s diverse culinary scene, including numerous Michelin-starred restaurants, and take a deep dive into the neighborhoods around town like Midtown for Korean food, Lower Manhattan (Little Italy) for Italian bites and the city’s historic Chinatown for some of the country’s best Chinese cuisine.
