One of the most exciting ways to learn about the world is to travel. Celebrities travel to many places to forget about the stress of being a public figure. Here are some favorite travel destinations among the famous.
6 Favorite travel Destinations of Celebrities
Paris, France – The City of Light
Paris, beautifully historic and culturally rich. It is a romantic, fantasy city that many people would love to experience. Many stars love the city for its luxury, privacy, and cultural flair. Celebrities such as Rihanna and other A-listers enjoy the city’s shops, cafes, and nightlife, and some even have homes there. You’ll enjoy strolling along the Seine River and watching the Eiffel Tower light up in the evening.
What to See and Do:
- Eiffel Tower: You can go up to the top for a beautiful view over the city.
- Louvre Museum: Home to the Mona Lisa as well as countless other pieces of famous art.
- Notre-Dame Cathedral: A beautiful old church with amazing architecture.
- Cafes and Food: Sample French pastries such as croissants and macarons at charming cafes.
Paris tends to be busy, particularly in the summer. I would suggest visiting in spring or autumn, when the weather is pleasant but the crowds are fewer. And knowing a few basic French phrases will help make your trip easier.
Malta – Mediterranean Hollywood
This tiny island nation has become a big deal, not just for its sun-drenched beaches and historic cities, but for its starring role in countless films.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filmed their movie “By the Sea” in Gozo.
While many stars like Russell Crowe and Angelina Jolie have been in Malta for work, taking advantage of its reputation as a “Mediterranean Hollywood,” the island is also a favorite for pure leisure.
Celebrities such as Tori Spelling have shared their love for the island on holiday, while A-listers like Sofía Vergara, Ricky Martin, and Kendall Jenner have even been spotted on yacht getaways that briefly dock in its beautiful harbors.
What to See and Do:
- Valletta: This capital city is a beautiful mix of history and modern life. It’s also where scenes from Jurassic World Dominion and World War Z were filmed.
- Gozo: Take a short ferry ride to this smaller sister island. It’s a peaceful escape with a more laid-back feel.
- Popeye Village: A truly unique spot! You can visit the actual film set from the 1980 movie Popeye, starring Robin Williams.
- Blue Grotto: The colors of the water here are incredible. You can take a boat tour to explore the sea caves.
Malta has hot, sunny weather most of the year, so don’t forget to pack your swimsuit and plenty of sunscreen. While the bus system is efficient, renting a car gives you the freedom to discover quiet, hidden coves and villages at your own pace.
Kyoto, Japan – A Blend of Tradition and Nature
Visiting Kyoto is like going into a time warp. It boasts many temples, gardens and old-style tea houses. It is calm and a great place to unwind and learn about Japanese culture.
Kyoto and Tokyo attract many celebrities. Kim Kardashian visited Kyoto’s famous bamboo forest with her family, while actress Disha Patani enjoyed a healing trip to Kyoto with Japanese actress Sumire. Other stars like Lily Collins and Matt Bomer have also been spotted enjoying Kyoto’s serene beauty and cultural sites.
What to See and Do:
- Fushimi Inari Shrine: Known for its many thousands of red torii gates.
- Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion): A beautiful temple covered in gold leaf.
- Arashiyama Bamboo Grove: Walking amongst towering bamboo is otherworldly.
- Tea Ceremony: Try a tea ceremony, a Japanese tradition.
Kyoto is at its best in the spring for cherry blossoms or in the autumn for colored leaves. The public transportation is great, so it’s easy to get around without a car.
Cape Town, South Africa – Nature and Adventure
Cape Town has it all, with stunning landscapes, wildlife viewing, and exciting city life. I like to be outdoors, and I like to get to see animals in their natural environment. Liam Hemsworth enjoys its beaches and hikes and Leonardo DiCaprio has filmed movies there while supporting environmental causes.
What to See and Do:
- Table Mountain: Ride a cable car to the top or hike for stunning views.
- Robben Island: Learn about South Africa’s history and Nelson Mandela.
- Cape Winelands: Sample some of the greatest wines around.
- Beaches: Kick back on beaches, such as Camps Bay and Clifton.
The weather can be up and down, so dress in layers. Renting a car is handy if you wish to venture farther away from the city. Also, be mindful of safety and follow local advice.
ROME, Italy – History and Food
Rome itself is one big open-air museum. There are ruins, fountains, and churches everywhere you look, telling stories that go back thousands of years. Plus, the food is amazing! Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, and George Clooney have been spotted enjoying peaceful retreats in Rome’s Villa Borghese Gardens.
What to See and Do:
- Colosseum: Step inside the ancient arena where gladiators battled.
- Vatican City: Head to St Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel.
- Trevi Fountain: Throw a coin, make a wish.
- Italian Food: Sample pasta, pizza and gelato from local eateries.
Rome is popular and can be crowded; purchase tickets ahead of time for popular sites. Put on your walking shoes because you’ll be walking a ton. I also suggest venturing to less touristy areas for authentic experiences.
Sydney, Australia – Sun, Surf and City Life
Sydney has a nice balance of the city’s hustle and natural beauty. I love the beaches, the people, and the iconic landmarks. Stars such as Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr have been spotted enjoying Sydney’s sights and dining at popular spots like Chin Chin in Surry Hills. Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter also dined at Pellegrino 2000, and Zendaya was spotted at Yellow in Potts Point and Sean’s in Bondi.
What to See and Do:
- Sydney Opera House: Join a tour, or watch a show.
- Bondi Beach: Ride the waves, swim, or just relax on the sand.
- Harbour Bridge: Bridge climb or walk over it for great views.
- Royal Botanic Garden: A tranquil city escape to get in touch with nature.
Since Sydney is sunny most of the year, you’ll want to include sunscreen and a hat too. Public transport is fine, but renting a car can be useful if you want to explore nearby regions like the Blue Mountains.
