8 of the Best Places To Travel if You’re a Gemini

From its grand architecture and cultural landmarks to its buzzing pub scene, Budapest has all the makings of a city dreamed up by a never-quite-satisfied Gemini. Whether you’re looking to dive into the whimsical ruin bars (perfect for the social butterflies of the zodiac); peruse the many art galleries; or soak up the minerals of a world-famous thermal spa bath, it’s impossible to run out of things to do in Budapest. For you romantic Geminis, there’s nothing more fairy tale–esque than cruising down the Danube River on a sightseeing night cruise, either, passing by notable sites such as the Buda Castle with a glass of Champagne in hand.

Impulsive Geminis are likely to be well-suited to the youthful vibe and myriad options of Amsterdam, while your wandering soul is bound to feel inspired by the spirit of the Netherlands’ capital city. After all, you could ask a dozen people about their love for Amsterdam and hear just as many different answers. Perhaps it’s the world-class museums and winding canals. Or, maybe it’s the infamous Red Light District, best explored on a private walking tour. But, it could also be the pillowy Dutch pastries, the delicious selection of local brews, or the many sprawling parks. No matter the reason, Amsterdam certainly has enough to satisfy a Gemini's fleeting attention span.

As a Gemini, you ache to learn about the world around you, which is why Cairo—home of the mysterious Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx—is such a compelling destination. Eat your way through the bustling markets of the city’s metropolis and be sure to plan a visit to the Egyptian Museum to discover the largest collection of Egyptian antiquities on the planet. Alternatively, you might wish to shop for hand-crafted goods in the Nubian village or go sand-surfing in the desert. So many options, so little time—but as an expert Gemini juggler, you'll make it work.

Bangkok’s world-famous nightlife scene alone is reason enough for the party-loving Gemini to pack their bags. But there are (give or take) a million other reasons why Thailand’s capital city is a fantastic Gemini vacation destination. Here, you can dive into Thailand’s royal heritage by exploring the Grand Palace and Bangkok’s many Buddhist temples. Then, make your way to the floating markets for a shopping experience you won’t find outside of Southeast Asia, which will certainly appeal to you "always down for new things" Geminis. Or, if you want to embrace your adventurous side, opt for a bike tour through the lush Bangkok jungle.

Lisbon boasts a fascinating history filled with invasions, revolutions, and triumphs—all of which can be discovered on convenient city tours that will really help you schedule-stuffing Geminis experience as much as possible in a short amount of time. Take a city tour to learn about Portuguese history and culture, such as fado music, or a guided food tour so you can combine learning and snacking on Portuguese bites while you explore some of the city’s historic neighborhoods. Plus, Lisbon’s coastal location means that you can start your day with brunch in the city center, then drive just 20 minutes to bask in the turquoise waters of the Costa da Caparica beaches.

Geminis love to travel to a world entirely different from their own and cram as much into their itineraries as humanly possible. For many travelers, Tokyo might just be the place to do that. In the Japanese capital, you can explore incredible museums, elaborate Kabuki shows, quirky vintage shops, impossibly good sushi bars, and crazy street foods. And when you’ve had your fill of the hustle and bustle (if that’s even possible for you), it's easy to embark on a bus tour to Mt. Fuji, Japan’s most notable mountain and an active volcano. The postcard-worthy scenery will give you a chance to capture epic photos that are guaranteed to make all your friends seethe with jealousy.

With a total of 11 official languages, Cape Town is a cosmopolitan city whose diversity is reflected in everything from the culture to the cuisine. The best excursions for Geminis are the ones that pack in multiple experiences, so save time and avoid crowds by taking a small-group tour that brings you to top attractions such as Table Mountain and Boulders Beach, home of Cape Town’s famous penguins. Between surfing at the Clifton beaches, hiking Lion’s Head, and wildlife safari tours, you’re sure to get your adrenaline fix while meeting other globetrotters in the process.

As someone who craves variety, you’re bound to thrive in Mexico City. The historic center has thousands of years of rich history and culture for you to experience through music, food, colorful architecture, and the city as a whole offers an eclectic array of museums, including many under-the-radar gems. When you want to venture out of the Mexican capital, spectacular day trips to hot spots including the Tula Pyramids and the Tolantongo hot springs await. For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, fly over the ruins of Teotihuacán in a hot-air balloon or taste your way through Mexican culture with a hands-on cooking class and market tour.
