With a winter that is seeming to last forever, you may have started thinking about booking your next holiday to give yourself something to look forward to. Given the circumstances of the last few years, this year could be the first time many of us have had the opportunity to get away and travel in quite some time. As a result, you may be stuck for where to choose for your next trip. But fear not, this guide complies some of the best ideas for your next getaway, whether you’d love an adventure or just want to relax!
Holidays for the adrenaline junkie
We all have that friend or family member who is an adrenaline junkie, maybe that person is you! The good news is that when it comes to holidays and travel, the world was made for you! There are many options for destinations and activities if you are adventurous.
For somewhere close to home, a great option to get your adrenaline kick is a ski holiday. Many different areas in Europe boast beautiful ski resorts and this can be perfect for a short trip. A ski holiday provides you with the perfect combination of being active and on the go but also having a more relaxed, peaceful atmosphere in the evening. Many resorts have other activities you can take part in such as snowboarding, sledging and snowmobiling.
Holidays for the sunworshipper
After many months being stuck inside, all you might want from your next holiday is a bit of sunshine. In Europe alone we are spoilt for choice when it comes to sunny destinations with countries such as Spain, Portugal and Turkey being the go-to for sunworshippers and families alike.
This summer if you are looking for something a little different, why not give somewhere like Croatia a go? You may not think of it as a summer destination but with 12 hours of sunshine in May and June it could be ideal for a sunny getaway. The main tourist destinations have much more to offer than just beautiful beaches, the country also has a rich culture, is a coffee lovers paradise and prices are very reasonable.
Holidays for the culture vulture
Lastly, many of us choose to travel because we want to learn more about another culture and see things that we wouldn’t get to see at home. If you’re a culture vulture the perfect trip for you could be a city break. This allows you to see a city in a short space of time and if you’re lucky maybe you could do a few weekend trips every year!
If you love cramming as much into one trip as possible it may be worth stopping off at multiple cities. For example, destinations such as Vienna are well placed to be able to take short bus or train rides into neighbouring cities such as Bratislava, Budapest and Prague. This means you can experience the culture and history of more than one country during your holiday.
If you’re thinking about booking a holiday, it’s time to get planning. After so long spent indoors, think about what you want to get out of your trip and choose a destination that can provide you with the things you want to see and do. Whether that’s lie on the beach all day or go sightseeing until the sun goes down, make sure to research each destination to see what it has to offer. Many cities and countries can provide something for all the different personality types mentioned so don’t worry if your travel companion does not have the same taste as you.
