For example, the 1830s saw the beginning of steam trains in the US, which enabled Americans to flock to Florida and California for beach vacations. Although this started out solely for the wealthy, by the 1900s a growing number of people could afford short vacations.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This era finally made destinations further afield more accessible with the use of the steamboat (a lot of steam was involved back then). Travellers could now go to Egypt and visit the Pyramids &#8211; even climbing on top of them, now outlawed &#8211; and Africa to ride zebras (not advisable now) and visit native tribes. The route from New York to London was a popular one, and took 9 days. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women started travelling, and although it was very restricted and often had to travel with men, they still had the beginnings of guide books written for them. Mary Shelley\u2019s Frankenstein is said to be inspired by her travels in Switzerland and the beginnings of the book was written in Geneva.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Best cities in\u00a0Europe\/Africa in 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>London, UK<\/li>\n<li>Paris, France<\/li>\n<li>Rome, Italy<\/li>\n<li>Cape Town, South Africa<\/li>\n<li>Essaouira, Morocco<\/li>\n<li>Lamu, Kenya<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p><em>Travel to: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/j\/durban-to-cape-town\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cape Town from Durban <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2>1920s\/1930s Top Vacation Destination: <a href=\"\/b\/caribbean\">Caribbean<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6927\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6927\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6927 lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Havana-1-900x600.jpg\" alt=\"Havana, Cuba\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Havana-1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Havana-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Havana-1-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Havana-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Havana-1.jpg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/600;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6927\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pedrosz\/33688469012\/\">szeke<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re\/8632df\">Visual Hunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"> CC BY-SA<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is where things get wild. 1928 was when the first ever commercial flight took place, from Germany to the US (New Jersey).

With more people travelling, societal trends changed &#8211; a suntan became popular and the sought-after look (previously, the pastier skin you had, the more upper class you were).
