There’s plenty of sunshine, sand, and celebration to go around in July. You deserve a vacation this month, and we have four places that are well worth visiting this July.

Antigua, Guatemala

Antigua is the onetime capital of Guatemala, a colonial-era city that earned UNESCO World Heritage site status more than 40 years ago for its extraordinary baroque architecture. There are grand buildings, cobbled streets, and, notably, ruins that were left after the last major quake in 1976—see the Cathedral of Santiago, for example.

Aix-en-Provence, France

The 75th Festival International d’Art Lyrique is happening in Aix-en-Provence, which runs from July 4 to 24. This is a world-class celebration of classical music, with a heavy emphasis on opera. Performances this year will include Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte, Kurt Weill’s Threepenny Opera, and Verdi’s Otello. It’s determinedly affordable and egalitarian, since the event is state funded, with tickets for performances starting at €37.

San Diego, California

From July 19 to 23 this year, costume play’s spiritual home returns to San Diego: the original, and still largest, Comic-Con, which first took place here in 1970 and was canceled due to COVID-19 for the previous two years. Last year, more than 135,000 people attended the event and we expect this year’s number to more than match that record.

Calgary, Canada

For 10 days this month, Calgary is the rodeo capital of the world. It hosts the Calgary Stampede from July 7 to 16, 2023. The world’s largest outdoor rodeo will take place at GMC Stadium. Here you will see people show their skills at riding wild horses and catching cattle with ropes. Programming will ensure that the native Indian stories of this region aren’t overlooked.

1. Why is the 75th Festival International d’Art Lyrique affordable?
A.Because tourists there are very rich and lead a good life.
B.Because the performers charge low to save money for the event.
C.Because all French citizens have easy access to the musical feast.
D.Because the tickets are priced reasonably due to government funding.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了南非的克鲁格国家公园,它是世界上最大的国家公园之一,对于喜爱野生动物的人来说是一个必去之地。

【推荐1】Kruger National Park is, in a word, life-changing. One of the top attractions in South Africa, and one of the largest national parks in the world, Kruger National Park is a must for any wildlife lover.

Kruger National Park Animals

Nothing will prepare you for the huge volume of wildlife that you’ll be able to see in Kruger National Park. The park is home to 114 different species of reptiles; more than 500 species of birds; and 147 mammals. Not only will you have the opportunity to see the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), but you’ll see tons of other mammals like zebras, giraffes, hyenas, hippos, impalas, and many more.

When is the Best Time to Visit Kruger National Park?

The driest months being June, July, and August are the best time of year to visit the park, when the days are sunny and warm and the nights are cooler. Many trees and shrubs have lost their leaves, and water sources dry up, making it easier to spot game around the remaining waterholes.

Driving in Kruger National Park

What makes Kruger National Park unique from other parks is that it is accessible via self-drive. Many people who come to the park come with their own vehicle because it’s considerably more affordable than taking a guided tour.
