Where to go
Where to go for culture in August
Indonesia, Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro
- IndonesiaBali. Ubud is temples, rice terraces, and yoga. A volcano sunrise and the waterfalls are a separate outing. Seminyak is beaches and beach clubs, and Uluwatu is cliffs and surf.
- TurkeyIstanbul and Antalya. Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque share Sultanahmet. The Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market sit toward Eminönü, and the Bosphorus is the crossing to the Asian shore.
- SerbiaBelgrade. Kalemegdan and Knez Mihailova are the center of Belgrade. Skadarlija is the bohemian quarter, the splavovi are floating clubs on the river, and Zemun is the quarter across the water.
- MontenegroKotor. The walled old town and the fortress climb are Kotor. Perast is a boat stop on the bay, Budva is the beach day, and Durmitor is a mountain trip, not a walk in the old town.
