Maui, Algarve, Maldives, Gold Coast, and Cancun suit beach-focused family trips, while Orlando, Tokyo, Paris, and Singapore work well for theme parks and city fun. Banff, Costa Rica, South Africa, Yellowstone, Bali, Thailand, and Vietnam add nature, wildlife, adventure, and better value.

Rome, Florence, and Venice are the best first-time Italy stops for Australians, while the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, Tuscany, Sicily, Puglia, Lake Como, and the Dolomites add beaches, food, lakes, and mountain scenery. Plan 2 to 3 weeks, book key attractions early, and use trains for major cities.

Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Budapest, Albania, Mexico, Morocco and Egypt are among the best budget places to travel from Australia. Expect cheaper hotels, low daily costs, strong food value, family options and practical ways to save on flights and roaming.

US, UK, Canadian and Australian travellers can visit Spain visa-free for up to 90 days in any 180-day Schengen period. From late 2026, ETIAS will add an online authorisation step, while longer stays, work, study or non-exempt passports may need a Spain visa.

Florence’s best places to visit include the Duomo, Uffizi Gallery, Ponte Vecchio, Accademia Gallery, Palazzo Pitti, Boboli Gardens and Piazzale Michelangelo. The city also has free viewpoints, hidden chapels, family-friendly museums, local markets and easy walking routes.
