Tired of fighting through packed attractions? The best way to dodge crowds is to visit during shoulder season—those sweet spots between peak and out-of-season times. Think April-May for Europe or September-October for tropical beaches. Guess what, fewer crowds often mean cheaper flights and better hotel deals too!
Want another trick? Explore early in the morning or just before closing time. Many landmarks are busiest midday, so setting your alarm a little earlier can give you a more peaceful experience. What are some of the most crowded places you’ve been? What are some of your tips?

Airport security doesn’t have to be a hassle! Follow these simple tips to make your experience smoother:
✈️ Keep essentials handy—Boarding pass, ID, and electronics should be easily accessible.
✈️ Dress smart—Slip-on shoes and minimal accessories mean less time at security.
✈️ Know the 3-1-1 rule—Liquids must be under 3.4 oz and fit in a single quart-sized bag.
✈️ Enroll in TSA PreCheck or Global Entry—Skip long lines and keep your shoes on!
✈️ Arrive early—Better to have extra time for coffee than to rush through security!
