Top 20+ Summer Vacation Ideas That Are on Every Design Lover's Bucket List
16) Tour Gilded Age Estates in Newport, RI
Indulge your inner history buff and take an educational vacation this summer. Newport is famous for its historic mansions, the grandest of which is The Breakers, the Vanderbilt family's summer "cottage." If you time your trip wisely, you can catch a glimpse of Newport's famous sailing regatta in the harbor, too.
18) Attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Each August, performers, actors, and comedians flood every venue (and street) in Edinburgh, Scotland. Tour the city by day and grab tickets to take in your pick of the more than 600 shows by night.
19) Visit the Pope's Summer Residence
If you're planning a trip to Italy, be sure to hit the lakeside town of Castel Gandolfo, an hour's train ride from Rome. With stunning views and quaint, quiet streets, we can see why the Pope chose this spot for his summer home and observatory back in the early 1600s.
