* ''Series/TheMarvelousMrsMaisel'': Season 2 sees a three episode arc covering the Weissmans' and Maisels' annual summer vacation to Steiner Mountain Resort in the Catskills (in the 1950s, rich Jewish families would leave the city to BorschtBelt resorts like this in the summer months).

* How about [[UpToEleven an entire vacation season?]] Spanish SketchComedy ''Series/HomoZapping'' had a summer SpinOff titled ''Homo Zapping Tours'', in which some of the show's characters (parodies of Spanish TV personalities) traveled the world together.

* The U.S. version of ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'' did a series of "World Tour" episodes filmed from the sets of foreign versions of the show. It was suspiciously limited to three countries that had modelled their presentation off the U.S. version, including the Philippines, Estonia, and South Africa.

Also see ChristmasEpisode, BeachEpisode, RoadTripPlot, HotSpringsEpisode, SkiResortEpisode, CampingEpisode, and the {{Episodes}} index. Parent trope to VivaLasVegas. Add {{Horror}} and it becomes a DeadlyRoadTrip. While in another country the characters may be there for a mission, a task, a quest or a search. Watch for the EiffelTowerEffect, where the background just so happens to show off an iconic local landmark.

* The ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' story "Empath's Honeymoon", where Empath and Smurfette spend their vacation on a remote island together.

** The Simpsons have visited many locations over the years, usually because of a quest, a mission or some incident, but they still act like tourists while being there, visiting the country's hot spots, and meeting the locals. All while the creators have fun referencing all the stuff that particular location is (in)famous for, with NationalStereotypes included. Examples of such episodes where usually a large part of the plot is travel related:
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E2MrLisaGoesToWashington Lisa Goes To Washington]]'': Washington D.C.
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E1TheCityOfNewYorkVsHomerSimpson The City Of New York Vs. Homer Simpson]]'': New York City.[[note]]Which they end up visiting a lot more in later seasons despite Homer's horrible experience there. [[LampshadeHanging Bart even suggests buying a house there already]].[[/note]]
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS28E3TheTown The Town]]'': Boston.
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E19KillTheAlligatorAndRun Kill The Alligator And Run]]'': Florida.[[note]]They also visited Florida in "Special Edna" despite having been banned in "Alligator."[[/note]]
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS1E11TheCrepesOfWrath The Crepes Of Wrath]]'': Bart is sent to France as an exchange student, living a hellish life once he gets there. Afterwards the family moves to Paris to escape the U.S. during ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS15E21BartMangledBanner Bart Mangled Banner]]'' and it becomes a RunningGag that Marge's life-long dream is to go to Paris (and she continuously feels bad that the family won't go there), which is ([[NegativeContinuity technically]]) fulfilled for good in ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS27E20ToCourierWithLove To Courier With Love]]''.

*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E8TheItalianBob The Italian Bob]]'': Italy.

*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E15BlameItOnLisa Blame It On Lisa]]'': Brazil.
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS28E7HavanaWildWeekend Havana Wild Weekend]]'': Cuba.[[note]]Earlier, Homer went there without the rest of the family in ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS9E20TheTroubleWithTrillions The Trouble With Trillions]]''.[[/note]]
*** ''[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E12GooGooGaiPan Goo Gai Pan]]'': China.

* ''Series/StepByStep'' had two of these: one in Hawaii and one at Disney World.

* ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventuresHowISpentMyVacation'', where all the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' characters leave Acme Looniversity for various vacation-related hijinks.

** The Classic Series had at least one of these, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E2CityOfDeath "City of Death"]]. The plan was to mock up Monte Carlo, but the producer in charge of making best use of budgeting, John Nathan-Turner, calculated they could shoot in UsefulNotes/{{Paris}} for real with a skeleton crew for almost the same cost. As a result, what was to have been a 1920s casino-themed parlor drama became a contemporary Paris romp, with long stretches of Tom Baker and Lalla Ward goofing around on Parisian streets and [[EiffelTowerEffect atop the Eiffel Tower]] before meeting the resident [[CityOfAdventure maniac alien]]. (Weirdly, they also filmed in-studio scenes back in London featuring the most contrived Parisian stereotypes imaginable -- striped shirts, berets and neckerchiefs, haughty artists, etc.) They even had special guest stars: Creator/JohnCleese and Eleanor Bron as art critics at the Louvre.

* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', Season 8, episodes 14-15. No sharks were jumped, literally at any rate.

Not to mention the [[MadeForTVMovie TV movies]] ''Sabrina Down Under'' and ''Sabrina Goes to Rome''.
