8 of the Best Places To Travel if You’re a Capricorn

Capricorns are the ultimate worker bees, and their already-high ambitions may just go into overdrive when delving into the fast-paced lifestyle of New York City. Home to some of the world's most famous landmarks and attractions—such as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Times Square—this is a Capricorn-friendly destination on a 24/7 basis. Indulge your materialistic side (admit it, we all know it's true) and do some shopping in SoHo, before checking out the art galleries of Chelsea and heading for a few drinks in Greenwich Village. Spoiler: if you're a Capricorn, that'll be just one day's itinerary.

Practical, reliable, and seriously creative, Berlin could pretty much be a Capricorn—and its fashion-forward style will suit this always well put-together sign. The capital of Germany, this city offers a vibrant mix of old and new, where street art sits alongside history museums (perfect for learning-oriented Caps), while famed landmarks and attractions come punctuated by independent coffee shops and quirky restaurants (great for a little instant gratification). In the winter, check out the famous Christmas markets while sipping on gluhwein. In the summer, enjoy a cold beer on the banks of the River Spree. And getting from A to B is a seamless experience in this country where things always run on time, too ... something all Capricorns will appreciate.

While Sydney is known for its stylish restaurants and Brisbane has its beaches, Melbourne offers a little of everything with its own unique charm. Capricorns can be quite artistic, which means they'll adore spending days admiring Melbourne's array of galleries and museums. Check out the street art down Hosier Lane and AC/DC Lane or get lost in the city center, where you'll also be able to dive into Melbourne's famous coffee culture to keep you energized. Capricorns who lean into the competitive nature of the sign will also appreciate the city's wide range of sporting options, including the Australian Open tennis tournament, Melbourne Cup horse race, and endless games of cricket and Aussie Rules footie at the MCG.

Capricorns are renowned for never switching off. But, as any Capricorn will learn in time, taking a break is crucial for long-term success. And where better to spend some time away from everyday life than beautiful Bali in Indonesia? This nature-filled island is a haven for all things tranquil—including activities that will scratch a Capricorn's desire for luxury and self-improvement such as yoga and meditation classes, scenic beaches, mountain hikes, and endless vegan restaurants. Still feel a little restless? Bali's thriving digital nomad community means workaholic Caps will be be right at home, especially when they can't resist connecting to the WiFi and checking their emails after the yoga class ends.

Sure, they're some of the hardest workers around (and just a little uptight), so Capricorns sometimes need a reminder to let loose. Enter: Cartagena, one of Colombia's most fun-loving cities with a go-with-the-flow attitude to life. This gorgeous coastal locale, dotted with colorful neighborhoods, sits high up on the Caribbean coast and is soundtracked by salsa music. There, you can wander the narrow streets of the Getsemaní neighborhood, or sip on a cocktail under the palm trees on Playa Blanca and Isla de Barú. Cartagena is also renowned for its delicious food, with a blend of Spanish, African, and Indigenous influences, ensuring a never-ending “to eat” list that organized and efficient Capricorns will relish checking off day by day.

Practically a full-grown adult since the age of six, a Capricorn arrives at a new destination with an itinerary in hand and an hour-by-hour schedule to follow—which is the ideal approach for getting to know London, England. Known for getting bored easily and always needing something to do, Capricorns will love the pace of the capital city, with its constant flow of activities. Each of London's neighborhoods has something different to offer, from the vintage markets and street-food stalls of the east to the gorgeous parks in the north, the thriving music scene in the south and, of course, all of the tourist attractions in the middle.

Sweden is widely regarded as one of the happiest countries in the world, and when it comes to things like healthcare, education, and wildlife, it rises to the top of the ranks. The hard work and determination taken to keep everything running smoothly in Stockholm—Sweden's chic capital—will appeal to practical and persistent Capricorns, as will the city's relaxing fika tradition (aka taking some time out with coffee and cake). After all, earth signs love the finer (and delicious) things in life. Here, you'll also find a blend of modern and medieval architecture; a lovely archipelago to explore, ideal for outdoorsy Caps; and, of course, that sleek, minimal, Scandi style—be sure to save time for a Swedish shopping spree before you leave.

There's arguably no star sign better suited to a vacation in the Maldives—a nation of islands in the Indian Ocean—than a Capricorn. This destination is almost always an expensive one and, luckily, Capricorns are renowned for being great savers. So, put all that Capricorn cash to good use and indulge in a night (or two) in one of the Maldives' famed overwater bungalows, or make the most of the snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities set against awe-inspiring backdrops. But a vacation to the Maldives isn't all about down-time for go-go-go Capricorns—hit the water in a traditional dhoni boat; dig into local delicacies with Indian, Sri Lankan, and Arabic influences; and explore the colorful shops and architecture in the capital city, Malé.
