Aries need to be in the middle of the action. Because you're not afraid to step outside of your comfort zone, the best place for you to be is in a bustling and vibrant city. A quiet trip to the countryside or staycation won't have the fast-paced adventure you need to feel fulfilled. When it comes to travel, Aries are looking for good food, extraordinary views, and glittering nightlife to keep you entertained. Take a trip to Tokyo, Japan for an unforgettable experience. This city is known for its delicious cuisine, walkable neighborhoods, and rich cultural experiences. There’s plenty to keep you busy during your time in Tokyo.

You’re a lover of the finer things in life, Taurus. Good food and good company are at the top of your travel list. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, so roughing it on vacation just isn't your thing. You prefer the comfort of silken hotel sheets and all-inclusive accommodations. That's why Milan, Italy is ideal for you. It goes without saying that the food scene is simply to die for, and after sampling all of the pasta and wine available, you can treat yourself to some of the best luxury shopping in the world or take in some eye-catching art in the city's museums.

You tend to prioritize experiences over material things, Gemini. It's not enough to just have breathtaking views, you need mental stimulation as well. A vacation for Gemini is an opportunity to have exciting new experiences and gain a new perspective on life. Consider a trip to historically rich Bavaria, Germany. Your curious mind won't be able to get enough of the landmarks, picturesque medieval towns, and breathtaking views of the Bavarian Alps. And if the countryside isn’t your thing you’re just a cog railway ride away from the capital city Munich, where nightlife and delicious food await.

You’re looking for a vacation that feels like a home away from home, Cancer. Relaxation is the most important thing for you when traveling, so you want to stay somewhere that takes care of the small details for you and allows you to unwind. And as a water sign, it's important that the ocean is nearby for you to soak up some sun. If you’re looking for something all-inclusive with a beachfront view, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic is the place to be. The white-sand beaches and turquoise waters are sure to send you into a state of relaxation. Known for its luxury resorts and tropical views, you’ll enjoy postcard-worthy experiences for the duration of your trip. You won’t want to leave this island paradise.

Barcelona has the best of both worlds: cosmopolitan city living and relaxing oceanfront views.

As the adventurer of the zodiac, it takes a lot to impress you, Sagittarius. You don't vacation, so much as you do travel. Sagittarius has a strong desire for thrilling excursions and mental stimulation. Sticking close to home or revisiting a city you’ve been to simply won’t do. Sagittarius needs freedom and the ability to easily jump from activity to activity in order to be truly satisfied. A trip to Reykjavik, Iceland will offer that once-in-a-lifetime experience. To start, you’ll want to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. From there, you can spend an afternoon (or two) exploring Iceland's many active volcano sights and breathtaking geysers. There’s no shortage of natural wonders to explore here.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For Capricorn, vacation is more than a change of place, it's a chance to leave the worries of work behind. This sign is known for a love of tradition and structure, so you prefer a cozy and comfortable trip over something exotic. A trip to historic Geneva, Switzerland, nestled among breathtaking mountain views and historical sights, is sure to please. Geneva is a center for culture and historical destinations, including a variety of local theaters, museums, and opera houses. And if you’re looking to get away from city life for a bit, you’re just a cableway ride away from stunning views of Lake Geneva, the Alpine peaks, and some of the largest vineyards in Western Europe. You’ll be left in awe by the area's cultural attractions.
