Avoid hurricanes and high prices: The best time to visit the Bahamas revealed
The best time to visit the Bahamas for every type of traveler
The Bahamas

The Bahamas is one of my all-time favorite places. What I wouldn’t give right now to be lounging at Atlantis Paradise Island, drink in hand, soaking up that turquoise view. Whether it’s the powder-soft beaches of Nassau or the crystal-clear waters of the Exumas Islands, this tropical escape has something for everyone. But as magical as it is, not every month delivers the same postcard-perfect experience.

If you’ve ever tried planning a trip to the Bahamas, you’ve likely run into the big three questions: Will it be packed? Will it rain the whole time? And why is everything so expensive? Like many dream destinations, timing is everything, and choosing the right season can make or break your vacation.

Looking for adventure and culture? This city is the best in the world for urban hiking
Here's the world's #1 city for outdoor lovers
Rio de Janeiro

As an outdoor enthusiast, one of the top things I look for in a travel destination is proximity to the outdoors. I'm certainly not averse to pitching tents, but sometimes it's nice to mix in a bit of urban excitement to my travels. Sports Shoes, a UK running retail brand, just completed a study that analyzed the top urban areas for hikers on break. My personal favorite hiker-friendly city is Seattle, which squeaked in at number 12. The number one spot goes to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

The winner was decided through two primary variables: the number of hikes in the area and the average rating and reviews of those hikes. This was averaged out into a hikeability score out of 100, and the only one to get a perfect score was Rio de Janeiro. With a total of 334 hikes averaging a rating of 4.8 stars, this city is officially the world's number one urban area for hikers.
