Somewhere, it's always summer.

The world runs two seasons at once — when the north is in summer, the south is in winter, and the other way round. So start with your month, then tell us the season you want to feel and the kind of vacation — beach, mountains, city or wild places — and Algari's own map, drawn and built in-house, turns itself toward the places at their very best. The map carries 84 places tracked across all seasons: the great classics — Paris, Kyoto, the Maldives, Banff, Queenstown and dozens more, tagged Classic — side by side with our ✦ Hidden gems, the 20 underrated places of the Hidden Atlas. One rule runs the whole page: a place is peak only when your month sits inside its best window, a shoulder month is labelled honestly as good, not peak, and off-season places stay visible, faded and labelled — the card, the map and the verdict always agree, because they all read the same best-month data.
