May is one of the hottest months of the year in this part of the country, so sun and heat lovers will find themselves perfectly at home here.

Start your trip with a visit to the coastal district of Colaba, where you will discover impressive landmarks such as the Gateway of India and The Taj Mahal Palace. The first was built in such a way that every traveler who sails into Mumbai from the sea can see this magnificent monument. It is also a meeting place and a center of leisure for local residents - join them and spend your May vacation right here!

Right next to the Gateway of India, you will find a small harbor from where you can sail to one of the city's most beautiful attractions, the UNESCO World Heritage Site - The Elephanta Caves. Not far from the port you will also discover another UNESCO-listed monument, and that is the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. It's worth considering railway transportation if you're planning a longer trip around India. From here you will set off to many corners of the country and at the same time learn about the customs and daily life of the locals.

PS Did you know that Mumbai is the birthplace of Indian cinema and the home of Bollywood, India's largest film studio? Being in this city, it is not difficult to come across the set of one of the super-productions filmed here. Who knows, you may even be able to act in the film? Your vacation in May will be unforgettable!

Vacation in May in Chisinau? Yes! This is another example of a less popular destination, but the attractions will surprise many travelers. In May, the weather tempts with sunny days that are ideal for walking and exploring sights, and there is plenty to discover in Chisinau!

Start with a stroll around the campus of the Moldovan University and climb to the top of the tower - beautiful views from the terrace for free! In Moldova's capital you'll find more than a dozen parks, each inviting you to relax surrounded by green vegetation. Visit the famous complex of lakes in the Valea Morilor park, reached by the Scara Cascadelor staircase. Also, make an extended stop at Moldova's oldest park - Ștefan cel Mare Central Park. This is one of the citizens' favorite walking destinations. Join them and observe local customs.

What buildings are still worth seeing on a walking tour of Chisinau? Plan to visit the Palace of the Republic, the Triumphal Arch, Nativity Cathedral, Saint Pantaleon's Church or Parliament Of The Republic Of Moldova. In the country you also have the opportunity to visit one of the vineyards and taste the famous local wine. Not far from Chisinau there is a family winery - Asconi. A trip to this area is the perfect culmination of an unforgettable vacation in May!

Popular places are not your fairy tale? Want to explore non-obvious places? Take a vacation in May to Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan! Although it's not the destination that first comes to mind when thinking of a vacation, it's definitely worth flying here. Especially since May marks the beginning of the perfect weather season, which lasts until October.

What do you must see in Baku? Be sure to visit the old part of the city, or İçəri Şəhər, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Narrow streets, intimate alleys, oriental atmosphere.... Here you will be transported back in time and forget about the world around you. Also climb to the top of the Maiden Tower, from where you will see the Old City in all its glory. The modern part of Baku will also delight you. Highlights include the Flame Towers, whose glass facades are illuminated by the colors of fire, the Baku Crystal Hall and the architectural gem - the Heydar Aliyev Center.

And at the very end, save yourself a leisurely stroll along the nearly 4-kilometer-long seaside promenade. Whether you prefer to walk during the day or in the evening, at any time the views fascinate. On one side the calm waters of the Caspian Sea, on the other the bustle of restaurants and pubs. During a relaxing stroll you will see Mini Venice, a cactus garden, a Baku Ferris Wheel and the famous Azerbaijan Carpet Museum. Baku, although still unknown, has much to offer - discover this charming city during your vacation in May!

Wondering where to go in May? Belgrade will work perfectly for you! A city break in the Serbian capital is a great idea, all thanks to temperatures that are conducive to sightseeing. Belgrade is also an incredibly intriguing city, where you will encounter a variety of architectural styles and notice urban contrasts!

Start your tour with a visit to the Palace of Serbia (Palata Srbije), which, although it has little in common with a palace, functions as the seat of government and is impressive in its size (it is as large as 60,000 square meters!). Next, head to the Kalemegdan Fortress, located on a hill (within the Kalemegdan Park), which is part of a cultural and historical complex and one of Belgrade residents' favorite recreational spots. See the Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel, which is the most important temple not only in the city, but in the whole country! Built in the Neo-Baroque style, it has a classicist interior and impresses with its splendor and rich decorations.

The weather in May in Belgrade is favorable for walks, and be sure to plan these around the main meeting place of the locals, the Republic Square. There you'll find the National Museum, the National Theater and the 19th-century monument to Prince Mikhail. In the evening, once you've discovered all the city's nooks and crannies, head to the bustling Old Town. We especially recommend strolling down the historic Skadarlija Street, a gathering of all Belgrade's artists! Don't think any longer about where to go in May and plan your dream vacation in Belgrade!
