7 of the Best Places To Travel if You’re a Pisces

Romantic to a fault, Pisceans will feel right at home in the crisp mountain air of Canada's Rocky Mountains. We recommend Banff, a ski resort town that serves as the gateway to the surrounding national park. After a day photographing glaciated lakes or exploring majestic peaks (ride the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain), soak in the warm, mineral-rich waters of Banff Upper Hot Springs, or live your Rocky Mountain cowgirl fantasy with a horseback ride along the Bow River.

An almost supernatural level of intuition earns many of our “swimming” friends a reputation as old souls. In Tulum, the archaeological ruins of a 13th-century Maya city provide a window into the past—and vistas over the shimmering Caribbean—that will fascinate any of you with this water sign. Then, if kicking back on the iconic Playa Paraíso with a margarita in hand sounds a little too basic for Pisces, try Riviera Maya for sailing or snorkeling, or go manatee-spotting at the UNESCO–listed Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve nearby. The surrounding Yucatan Peninsula is also packed with cenotes and colorful colonial cities; a guided day trip is an easy way to experience it all.

One of the most exclusive destinations in the world, Havasu Falls is magical enough to bring even the most ethereal Pisces back down to Earth. Getting to this waterfall at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, however, is not for the faint of heart; it requires a strenuous 10-mile (16-kilometer) hike from Hualapai Hilltop down to the village of Supai. First, you’ll need to secure a permit from the Havasupai Tribe to access the reservation. Visitor numbers are extremely limited, so nab your spot early when permits go on sale on February 1 each year—just in time for the stars to align in your favor. Rather go with the flow? Get reflective on a helicopter tour within the national park, including the Grand Canyon West Rim or the South Rim, or relax with your inner romantic aboard the Grand Canyon Railway.

The Southern Alps dominate the South Island of New Zealand, a destination renowned for its scenic lakes, glaciers, and mountain peaks. Reclaim your energetic self in Queenstown, the country’s capital for adventure sports. Bungee jumping, jet boating, ziplining, paragliding, and skydiving cater to Pisces’ impulsivity. With so many options you might feel your indecisive nature arise. Trust your intuition! A day trip to Milford Sound—or wine tasting—will get you back in touch with your fluidity.

Plitvice Lakes National Park should be at the top of any water baby’s bucket list. Croatia’s crystal-clear lakes and dramatic limestone cliffs are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a specific type of algae causing the striking blue color of the water. Unfortunately, swimming isn’t allowed, in order to protect the delicate balance of the environment, but nature-loving Pisceans can still marvel at the views. This sprawling system of lakes, caves, and waterfalls can be reached from Split, Zadar, or Zagreb.

Sarajevo’s long and complex history makes it the perfect destination for Pisceans looking to lose themselves. The city has been through countless evolutions since it was founded as part of the Ottoman Empire. Of course, due to the tragedy of the 4-year Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, wandering its peaceful streets today can be an emotional experience, especially for sensitive and compassionate Pisces. Use the hilly city as a base to explore gorgeous lakes and waterfalls scattered across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

If you’ve ever wondered how the iconic Giza Pyramids were built, a visit to Cairo will likely leave you contemplative Pisces signs with more questions than answers. A tour of the pyramids and a Nile River cruise are essential Egyptian activities of course, but vibrant Cairo has plenty more to offer Pisceans. Dining under the stars, shopping at a bazaar, and visiting the largest museum in Africa should all be on your radar in the so-called City of a Thousand Minarets.
