Britain is slowly on the mend. Thanks to a slow upward trend after the last two disastrous years, holidaying Brits can finally look forward to going abroad again. That goes for those who are visiting the popular, well trodden resorts in Greece and Spain or for travellers heading slightly farther afield to places like Turkey where the Lira has also gotten cheaper. Cheap holidays are in abundance, so bag yourself a bargain today!
With some 80 million visitors a year, Paris is the world’s top city destination but that is no surprise when considering what is on offer in the French capital. There are world class museums like the Pompidou and the Louvre, with some of the world’s greatest historical artefacts. Tourists can take a walk to the Place de la Concorde to see one of the obelisks from the Luxor temple in Egypt before visiting the Pantheon. No visit to Paris would be complete without a trip up the Eiffel tower. A ride on the RER, Paris’ train system is a cheap way to get to Versailles for a glimpse of the opulence that sparked the French revolution.
If you fancy going somewhere a little further afield, why not consider Portugal as your next holiday destination? Cheap holidays are mostly found in the Algarve, but the capital Lisbon is good for a break away from it all the hustle and bustle as well. The city has a number of interesting tourist sites, especially in the town of Sintra. The sites include the mystical gardens of Quinta de Regaleira, one of Portugal’s most beautiful stately homes. High up on the hills, the Castle of the Moors and Pena palace dominate the surrounding landscape.
If you want to indulge in tapas, go to Barcelona instead! This popular city destination has some similarities to Lisbon. Catalonia’s coastline is popular for tourists on all inclusive holidays because of the abundance of resorts and great beaches.
There is lots to get up to in the south of Catalonia. Port Aventura, Spain’s best theme park and Water Park, is an attraction that you simply cannot miss! In the city of Barcelona there are beautiful city beaches for a spot of tanning before enjoying a lunch composed of fresh regional specialties. Barcelona’s museums are very well stocked and the architecture is sublime.
