Pull the big suitcase out of storage, dust off your passport and treat yourself to a new pair of sensible (but chic) walking shoes — an overseas trip is calling.

In partnership with HSBC, we’ve put together a series of comprehensive guides to the global cities you should be visiting this season. They might not be the most obvious destinations, but that’s half the beauty of it — you’ll avoid the swarms while still soaking up all the sunshine, culture, history and culinary delights that these stunning countries have to offer.

We’ve done a lot of the pesky itinerary planning work for you, so all you’ll need to worry about is making bookings and getting your spending money sorted. With an HSBC Everyday Global Account, even that part is easy-peasy. You can have up to ten currencies preloaded so you can use your Visa Debit Card for all purchases and ATM withdrawals. You can also make instant transfers between accounts and view exchange rates before you lock them in. The best part? You won’t be stung with international transaction fees.

Be prepared for your overseas adventure by opening an HSBC Everyday Global Account. For more information, head to the website.
