Are you an English student looking to travel to an English-speaking country? Or perhaps you’re already there and find yourself struggling to communicate during your museum tours or other travel activities. Fear not, for we have the perfect solution for you – Travel Vocabulary! In this blog post, we’ll provide you with a list of essential words and phrases that will help you speak like a local and navigate through your travels with ease.

Whether you’re asking for directions, ordering food, or simply trying to strike up a conversation with a local, these travel vocabulary words will come in handy and make your trip a more enjoyable experience. So let’s get started and take your English skills to the next level! 

Basic Words Every Traveler Should Know

Are you ready to start your journey into the world of English travel vocabulary? In this section, we’ll provide you with a list of basic words that every traveler should know before setting foot in an English-speaking country. These words will serve as a strong foundation for your language skills and will help you navigate through various travel situations with ease.

First up, let’s talk about directions. Knowing how to ask for directions is essential when you’re in a new place. Familiarize yourself with words like “left,” “right,” “straight,” and “turn.” Combine these words with phrases like “Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to…” or “Which way is…?” to confidently find your way around.

Next, let’s cover food. Food is a universal language, and knowing the basic vocabulary related to ordering food can make your dining experience much more enjoyable. Learn words like “menu,” “bill,” “water,” “coffee,” and “vegetarian” to ensure you can communicate your preferences to the waiter or waitress.

Lastly, make sure you have some essential phrases for general communication. Words like “hello,” “goodbye,” “thank you,” and “sorry” are the building blocks of polite conversation. Adding phrases like “I don’t understand” or “Can you repeat that, please?” will also come in handy when you’re faced with a language barrier.

By familiarizing yourself with these basic words and phrases, you’ll be well-prepared to navigate your way through any English-speaking country. So get practicing and soon you’ll be speaking like a local!

Useful Phrases at the Museum and Tours

Now that you have a strong foundation of basic travel vocabulary, let’s focus on specific phrases that will come in handy when visiting museums and going on tours. These situations can be overwhelming, especially if you’re trying to fully understand the historical or cultural significance of what you’re seeing. But fear not, with these useful phrases, you’ll be able to confidently communicate and get the most out of your museum visits and tours.

When visiting a museum, it’s important to be able to ask questions and seek information. Phrases like “Excuse me, can you tell me more about this exhibit?” or “Could you explain the significance of this artwork?” will show your genuine interest and help you gain a deeper understanding. Additionally, you may want to inquire about the availability of guided tours or audio guides to enhance your experience.

During guided tours, it’s crucial to be an active participant. Phrases like “Could you please repeat that?” or “I didn’t quite catch what you said about…” will ensure that you don’t miss out on any important details. You can also engage with the tour guide by asking questions like “Do you have any recommendations for other museums to visit in the area?” or “What is your favorite part of this museum?”

By using these phrases, you’ll not only communicate with confidence but also make the most out of your museum visits and tours. So go ahead and practice them before your next adventure, and watch as your English skills open doors to a world of knowledge and cultural understanding.

Respond with phrases like “What do you recommend I visit in this city?” or “Have you tried any traditional dishes I should try?” These questions will not only help you connect with the locals but also enhance your cultural experience.

4. Seeking Help : Whether you’re in need of assistance or facing an emergency, it’s essential to know how to ask for help.

By practicing these practical dialogues, you’ll be prepared for any conversation you might have while traveling in an English-speaking country. So get ready to confidently communicate with locals and make your travel experience even more enjoyable!

Travel Words to Learn in English

Reinforcing Your New Travel Vocabulary

Now that you have learned a variety of essential travel vocabulary for English students, it’s time to reinforce what you’ve learned and ensure that it sticks with you. Remember, practice makes perfect!

One great way to reinforce your new travel vocabulary is by incorporating it into your daily life. Try using the phrases in everyday situations, such as ordering food at a local restaurant or asking for directions from a passerby. The more you use the vocabulary in real-life scenarios, the more comfortable and confident you will become.

Another effective method is to engage in language exchange activities. Find a language partner or join language exchange groups where you can practice speaking English with native speakers. This will not only give you an opportunity to use your travel vocabulary in conversations, but also help you improve your overall language skills.

Additionally, take advantage of online resources and language learning apps that offer vocabulary exercises and quizzes. This will allow you to test your knowledge and identify areas where you may need further practice.

Lastly, keep a travel journal during your trips. Write down the new vocabulary words and phrases you encounter along the way, and make an effort to use them in your writing. This will reinforce your learning and provide you with a valuable reference for future trips.

By actively reinforcing your new travel vocabulary, you’ll soon find yourself speaking like a local and navigating through your travels with ease. So keep practicing and enjoy your English-speaking adventures!

Advanced travel vocabulary: a conversation between friends:

Andy: So? You’re just back , right? 

Claire: Yep! …Oh my God, it was amazing!

Andy: Come on then! Tell us all about it. How did this all come about?

Claire: Well, you know me, I often get itchy feet and I have a strong thirst for adventure ,  so when Jen suggested a trekking trip in Bosnia and Montenegro, I was all in !

Andy: Oh! That’s where you went?! That must have been incredible.

Claire: Yeah! I’d been wanting to do something like this for ages, but my partner isn’t really into this kind of holiday. He prefers a more chilled trip, something that includes seeing the sights with a bit of culture dropped in … yeah, he definitely prefers something with lots of chilling, good restaurants and time to recharge the batteries . I, on the other hand, would much rather go on an adventure trip with lots of new stuff to try out. Here was my chance to do it! 

Andy: Oh! I wish you’d told me. I would have tagged along !

Claire: Next time!

Andy: Did you organise it all yourself?

Claire: No, we booked the actual trip itself through an agency who specialise in adventure holidays. Highly recommend them. I’d never usually book a holiday through an agency, but honestly, if we’d done it ourselves we’d have missed out on the best parts of the experience. 

Andy: Yes, I get that. Good for you. 

Claire: Our guide took us right off the beaten path and it was truly an amazing experience to find out about all the history, the stories and culture from that area. I mean look at this view!

Andy: That is stunning!

Claire: That’s what I mean … we’d never have found that on our own. 

Andy: And did the package include flights?

advanced travel vocabulary (1)

Claire: No, we had to sort out getting there alone, which in the end was easier, because I was coming from London, whereas my friend was coming from Berlin. Getting there was a breeze . I used a low-cost airline with a stopover in Paris, which gave me time to catch up with Natalie. 

Andy: Oh brilliant! How is she doing?

Claire: Really well. She is loving Paris. I wanted to stop over there on the way back too, but it was cheaper to go another way. In fact, coming back was awful. What an arduous journey ! 

Andy: Oh jeez, what happened?

Claire: Basically my flight was cancelled, I have no idea why! They put me on standby …  I was in the airport for 19 hours before I got a seat. 

Andy: 19 hours?!

Claire: 19! And even then it wasn’t direct to London. I had to go via Frankfurt, which meant another 4 hours waiting in another airport. 

Andy: That sucks! I’ve been hearing a lot of similar horror stories you know!

Claire: Me too. Anyway, despite that, the trip was brilliant. It really was.  What about you? You’re heading off in September right? 

Andy: Well ……

I always had a thirst for adventure, but I’m not ready to move to another country yet. After 4 years of maternity leave I get itchy feet and could not wait to start my own single journey for a week. The last trip we’ve been together we get itchy feet and now I sort out one trip per month. During our family’s trip what I love more is to go off the beaten track. When we visit Greece we try to book flats off the beaten track to avoid expensive places and services. Our route to Bulgaria was an arduous journey this summer, but we enjoyed a lot the return to our home, it was a breeze.

' src=

Excellent work Aurelia! I love the way you have used the new vocabulary. 👍

Watch out for your past tenses> Here you need the past simple > After 4 years of maternity leave I GOT itchy feet …. And here > The last trip WE DID together we GOT itchy feet and now I sort out one trip per month. This is because you are talking about a specific time in the past that has finished. 👍

Essential Travel Vocabulary – Improve Your English

It’s so much fun to travel, practice your English, and learn new things! Traveling is a lot easier if you know some essential English travel vocabulary. These are words you really need to know before you go! Ryan is going to share 17 of these necessary vocabulary words for traveling.

Hi everyone! Traveling is one of my five great passions. I love:

  • Working with kids
  • Learning new languages
  • Meeting new people

Some of the best things I’ve ever experienced happened while I was traveling! I’ve been to:

  • The Great Wall of China
  • The Fos de Guasso in Brazil
  • I’ve met amazing people
  • I’ve even fallen in love!

All while traveling! So today, I want to share with  you 17 essential travel vocabulary words I use when I talk about my adventures and my travels. Use them to talk about YOUR adventures and YOUR travels, too!

17 Essential Travel Vocabulary – Words 1-5

1. Book (a flight)

A book is something you read (a noun), but the verb “to book” means “to reserve.” If you “book a flight,” that means you reserve a flight.

I booked  a flight to Buenos Aires. Now I need to book  an accommodation.

2. Accomodation

An “accomodation” is a place to sleep. A hotel, an Airbnb, a hostel, even couchsurfing, are all accomodations.

Do you have an accomodation in Buenos Aires yet?

3. Make a Reservation

To “make a reservation” means to reserve the use of something –  this can be anything! You can “book” an accomodation, specifically, a house or a room to sleep in. To “make a reservation” can also apply to a room, but it can also be a rental car, or a tour. You can fly around the city in a hot air balloon, but you need to make a reservation!

For example, I could say:

I want to go on the dungeon tour. I need to make a reservation. If I want to stay at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, I need to call or go online and make a reservation.

So I’ve booked a flight, I’ve found my accommodation, and I made a reservation for a car rental.  Now it’s time to fly!

4. To Take Off

The verb phrase that we use to describe this is “to take off.”

My flight takes off at noon. Has your flight taken off yet?

The verb “to land” is the plane arriving at its destination.  “To land” can also refer to anything that is flying, then comes to the ground. I could say:

The butterfly landed on my shoulder. The plane takes off at 8:00 am and lands at 5:00 pm.

You can also use the verbs “take off from” and “land in” to talk about when and where you are going. For example:

I take off at 7:00 am. I take off from  New York. (I leave from New York.) I take off from Berlin and I land in Singapore.

If you are very lucky, your flight will not stop. It will go directly from “a” to “b” – from Berlin to Singapore. However, sometimes you have to stop. For example, the flight goes from Berlin to Singapore, but it might stop in Doha, Qatar.

Essential Travel Vocabulary – Words 6-10

6. Connection or Layover

When I stop in Doha, it is called a “connection,” or a “layover.” So when you are talking about airplane flights, the word “connection” means a city that your flight stops in before you reach your final destination. There are even more words to describe this!

Do you have a connection, or do you have a direct flight? Yes, I have a connection in Doha.

7. Leg (of a Trip)

If you have two flights to get to one destination, for example, Berlin to Doha and Doha to Singapore, each flight is called a “leg” – just like the legs I have above my feet!

The first leg of my trip is from Berlin to Doha. The second leg of my trip is from Doha to Singapore.

Another word for a connection is a “layover.”  A “layover” is simply when you have to stop for a few hours in your “connecting” city. Either one of these sentences is correct:

I have a connection in Doha. I have a layover in Doha.

9. Stop Over

If your layover is very long, it’s called a “stop over.” This just means that you will stay in that connecting city for many hours – usually more than four hours.

Last year, I had a stop over in Ankara for 12 hours!

10. Travel Backpack

Before you travel, you need a backpack. Not any type of backpack – you need a “travel backpack.” A “travel backpack” is much bigger than a normal backpack. You have room for lots of clothes, a computer, some toiletries, packing cubes – for lots of things!

Travel backpacks aren’t essential, but they are so practical and useful!

Essential Travel Vocabulary – Words 11-17

11. Clamshell or Suitcase Style Opening

A travel backpack can open like a suitcase. This is also called a “clamshell” opening – meaning it opens like a clam – on three sides. This is important because it allows you to pack very quickly, and to quickly access all your things.

12. Packing Cubes

“Packing cubes” are simply little bags to organize your things inside the travel backpack. For example:

I have my shirts in one packing cube. I have packing cubes for my shoes, my socks, and even the clothes I need to wash!

13. Toiletries

Now, the last packing cube you need is for your “toiletries.” “Toiletries” is essential travel vocabulary for things that you find in the bathroom, like a toothbrush.

Toiletries might include mouthwash, toothpaste, lotion, and shampoo. It’s a smart idea to put your toiletries in a clear bag, because that will make the security people very happy.

Let’s Review!

  • You made your reservation.
  • You booked an accomodation.
  • You have a travel backpack with packing cubes and toiletries.
  • You are ready to go!
  • You take off from Buenos Aires.
  • You land in Paris.

Now you are feeling really sleepy. This is called:

14. Jet Lag

“Jet lag” is the feeling of being tired after you travel because your body is used to a different time zone.

Sometimes when I travel from Europe to Asia I get jet lag.

15. Sightsee

This is a simple verb that just means to visit, or to look around. If I just landed in Shangai, I could say:

I really want to sightsee downtown! I really want to sightsee around the People’s Square!

If I’m traveling with a friend, I can ask:

“Hey, Foofy, do you want to sightsee around Stockholm tomorrow?”

You can also say to “go sightseeing,” if you don’t have a particular destination in mind.

“Hey, Foofy, do you want to go sightseeing?”

What’s Next?

  • You’ve been sightseeing;  observing the city and taking it all in.
  • Now you’re ready to go to a new city!

You can book a trip on a bus, or make a reservation for a flight, or you could try:

16. Hitchhiking

“Hitchhiking” is when you put your thumb up and ask people for a ride! I’ve “hitchhiked” almost 100 times in many countries, and I’ve always had great experiences. You can have fun conversations and meet really cool people. It’s not always the most fun way to travel, because the weather might be bad or people might be rude, but it’s worth a try!

17. Bucket List

Hitchhiking was on my “bucket list.” A “bucket list” is a list of things you want to do before you die. It comes from an English idiom “kick the bucket,” which means “to die.” Here are some things on my bucket list:

  • Visit Antarctica
  • Learn 10 languages
  • Become a father
  • Teach sports and English at a kids’ camp

What’s on your bucket list? I’m curious! Let me know in the comments below! I’d love to hear what you think.

Now that you know how to get where you want to go, check out this post to help you save money along the way!

Hello DavidLeonSosa,

I'm afraid there is a technical issue, which we are working to fix as soon as possible. 

In the meantime, I would recommend trying to view the page in an Incognito or InPrivate window. This worked for me yesterday, though it's not working now. It might allow you to see the main exercise as well as Task 2.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

Best wishes, Kirk LearnEnglish team

I have not traveled by air, but I'd like to. I would like to fly to see a soccer world cup.

This topic is insane, it's helpful and help me a lot

A few difficult

I travel many time by air.Usually I travel with hand baggage and put there on overhead locker.I adore feeling when plane take off and lands.The most longer flight was 4 hours.

Great topic many thanks

I do travel by air sometimes. The longest flight I took was from Iraq Baghdad to Iran Mashhad. It was more than three hours flight. Unfortunately we sot at the end of the plane and the seats were very uncomfortable. The meal was so small.

My first travel by air was from Madrid to Huston. I found very strange (and a bit unfriendly) that in the American airport everything was written in English, just English and no other language but English, while in Spain they were even in Chinese.

My longest flight is 3 hours to Mumbai. I like to travel by flight but I hate long lines at the airport.
