Seeking inspiration for your summer vacation destination? Why not narrow it down by checking out the best places to travel to according to your zodiac sign? Remind yourself of the typical Cancer personality and travel traits and get starry eyed over our Cancer travel horoscope.
Cancer season starts on June 21st and ends on July 22nd, perfect for a spring/summer getaway. Get ready to slip on that swimsuit and take some shellfies…
Cancer is the first water sign in the zodiac and those who fall under it are typically sensitive, gentle, and relaxed. It also means you’re a bit of a homebody, so you may want to book somewhere close to where you live, or somewhere that feels like a home from home.
Of course, as a water sign, Cancers love being surrounded by the wet stuff. Combine that with a need for quiet relaxation, and you’ll find that a beach holiday is perfect. The sun, sea, sand and solitude are what you should be considering for a vacation and we’ve rounded up some of our top picks – as well as some wild cards.
Here’s the five best places to explore for your next summer vacation.

OK, so Honolulu might not be local, but Cancers can really feel at home in this stunning destination. You’ll be surrounded by crystal clear waters along with breathtaking beaches and landscapes. Want to really escape it all? Pick one of the smaller Hawaiian islands and confine in blissful solitude. Hop in your rental and venture to Molokai, which only features a single hotel.

More water-based wonderment for Cancerians here. However, as beautiful as the coastal views of Porto are, this small but stunning Portuguese city has more to offer. If you’re creative, as Cancers often are, there’s an abundance of fascinating museums and art galleries to check out. If you’re in need of a good read on your vacation, park up by Livraria Lello, considered to be the most beautiful bookstore in the world with a magnificent winding staircase and a sense of magic in the air.

The capital of the Netherlands has a reputation as one of the most exciting cities in Europe. But it also has a relaxed side, making it perfect for Cancerians looking to unwind. You can explore its many art galleries and museums, such as the Van Gogh Museum or the Upside Down Museum – that should give you a whole new perspective on things. But we understand if you need a break from the hustle and bustle, so we recommend some gentle sightseeing around the lovely canals too.

Hold up Cancers, don’t scuttle off just yet… Yes, Orlando is noisier and caters for tourists but Cancers are also very family oriented. This means the Florida hotspot for group get-togethers is a no-brainer. You’ve got Disney World, Busch Gardens, LEGOLAND and Universal Studios to explore as part of your road trip – and that’s just the theme parks.
There’s a mind-blowing array of restaurants, featuring global cuisine that the whole family will love. Whether you’re in the mood for Asian cuisine whipped up by a Michelin star chef at Domu or fancy an all-day breakfast at Se7en Bites you’ll find somewhere to satisfy any craving. And when it all gets a bit much and you need to unwind, there are plenty of quiet resorts with pools and spas to relax at.

The famed Italian city on water is tailor-made for Cancerians. Not just because of the aquatic theme. It’s a romantic destination, ideal for couples or if you want to explore on your own. Lose yourself among the cobbled streets and rustic buildings, some of which date back to the 13th Century.
If you’re feeling crabby, fill up on fantastic local food (squid ink risotto, anyone?) before visiting its many museums and galleries. And of course, we can’t mention Venice without talking about the gondoliers on the canals. One serenade and you’ll never want to leave.
We think a compact car is the perfect choice for people born under the Cancer zodiac sign. Cancerians care about the environment and prefer a fuel-efficient car to minimize their effect on the planet.
