8 of the Best Places To Travel if You're a Sagittarius

Charming and joyful, you’re known for your outgoing, friendly way with people. You’ll be perfectly at home in France’s city of bonhomie, Lyon. Sagittarius is the zodiac’s gourmand, so you like to splurge on top-notch food and wine, and Lyon delivers the goods. It has a rich culinary tradition and an enviable location in the renowned Beaujolais wine region. In fact, the small city’s 19 Michelin stars are remarkable given its cozy size. Get your dose of culture while strolling around the charming Vieux Lyon and the famous Les Halles marketplace. Don’t forget to indulge your gastronomic side with Rhône Valley gourmet tours galore.

Between the ancient ruins and swim-up beach bars, Belize is a Sagittarian paradise. You’ll indulge in some amateur archaeology and marvel at the skills of the ancient Maya while wondering about their mysterious decline. Then you’ll move on to rum cocktails and mingling with your fellow international tourists. Belize is no ordinary tropical getaway—the small Caribbean country checks all of your boxes because it’s as multifaceted as you are. There’s swimming with nurse sharks and cave kayaking for your adventurous side, archaeological sites and tours for your thoughtful side, and rum-soaked sunsets for your inner party animal.

Both warrior and poet, you’re a study in contrasts. Jordan is a fitting destination for Archers because it teems with history yet blends into the modern world. As the philosopher of the zodiac, you’re endlessly curious about human nature and ways of life that are different from your own. Head to Wadi Rum and camp with Bedouins, whose lifestyle has adapted to the desert for over 12,000 years. You’ll love learning how they utilize desert plants and conserve water. The 2,000-year-old city of Petra magnificently carved into the red cliffs is also an absolute must-see as is the Dead Sea, where you can float in salt-rich waters amid stunning landscapes.

Your horoscope sign is known for its dual passions of knowledge and partying. Nashville is one of the rare spots that fulfills both requirements. You love to immerse yourself in a topic and become an expert, so visits to the impressive Country Music Hall of Fame, Frist Art Museum, and the Johnny Cash Museum are in order. By night, you’ll live your best life, popping from one honky tonk to another in Downtown Nashville and determining who has the best hot chicken. No one will be surprised if you come home from a day of shopping in The Gulch with a pair of vintage cowboy boots.

One of the braver travelers, your open-minded attitude toward destinations that intimidate others finds you in far-flung locations like Sub-Saharan Africa. Signs like Capricorn or Taurus might not be as fearless. Considered the wise sage of the horoscope, your sign also tends to be philosophical about life and comfortable asking the big questions. Set on the Atlantic Coast, the city of Accra speaks to your sign’s curiosity—from the vibrant Makola Market to picturesque Jamestown. Accra is a great jumping-off spot for day trips to the Cape Coast and Kakum National Park where you can brave the rainforest canopy walkway then learn the grim history of the Atlantic slave trade while touring Cape Coast Castle and Elmina Castle on the Gulf of Guinea.

While many are drawn to the unique Khmer sandstone structures of UNESCO–listed Angkor Archaeological Park, home to both Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, you Sagittarians will be especially captivated by a sense of spirituality that infuses these ancient sites. You tend to overdo it, so plan to spend a few days wandering among the more than 1,000 temples as you tour the archaeological complex. Then head to the fascinating floating villages of Siem Reap and the beautiful Kulen National Park.

With its medieval architecture and vibrant arts culture, Edinburgh was magical even before it became known as JK Rowling’s inspiration for locations in the Harry Potter series. Visually, it’s one of the United Kingdom’s most picturesque and well-preserved cities. Plus, a spirited sign like Sag will want to taste the world’s most famous whisky and spend time in Grassmarket's lively pubs. Ever on a quest for knowledge, you must add Edinburgh Castle, the National Museum of Scotland, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse to your packed itinerary.

Ever on the go, you sometimes need an antidote to your ambition. With its laidback lifestyle, Jamaica will force you to take it easy but will also satisfy your trademark curiosity. As you downshift to island time, get to know the local culture and sample some delicious homegrown Jamaican specialties. You get bored with too much beach time, so plan a visit to the Bob Marley Museum and go on a reggae tour or head out on a “Rastafarian” ATV safari. When night falls, your Sagittarian energy will still be buzzing, so book a table at the famous Rick’s Cafe in Negril or check out the waterfront clubs in Montego Bay.
