Summer's European Holiday Hotspots
If you still
haven’t booked your summer holiday yet, what are you waiting for? Fortunately
for you, there are some great destinations throughout Europe which are perfect
for a late summer getaway for you to consider, and luckily we’ve done the hard
work so you don’t have to. So, throw away that dust-gathering pile of holiday
brochures and check out our pick of the holiday hotspots for this year.
Prague
The capital of the Czech Republic is finally losing
its ‘stag night city’ title, and is being reclaimed by the culture vultures
interested in seeing the city’s amazing architecture, museums, art galleries
and cultural monuments. It’s a perfect stop off for a European inter-railing
trip, or makes a fantastic location for a long weekend away from everything
back at home.
Venice
Venice is having a real comeback this year, but not
just as a romantic
destination for couples. It’s also increasing in popularity with
families and groups of friends seeking a bit of history and some spectacular
views of the canals and bridges. It’s not an especially big city, so it can be
thoroughly explored during your stay, but the must-do activity is, of course, a
ride on the world famous gondolas.
Cote d’Azur
France’s beautiful ‘Azure
Coast’, so called because of its sparkling blue stretch of sea, has
seen a tourism boom in recent years. It’s an incredibly glamorous destination
which attracts the French elite, and if you want to rub shoulders with the
continent’s finest this is the place to be. It lies on the edge of provincial
France with its sprawling countryside, so hire a luxury
villa to complete the lifestyle you will be living during your
stay.
Edinburgh
The spotlight is on this Scottish city this summer.
The Edinburgh Fringe Festival will be over by the time you arrive, but if
you’re lucky you might get to meet some of the interesting performers who may
still be lurking around. Failing that, heading to Edinburgh castle is a must,
and head into some of the picturesque winding streets if you fancy
exploring.
Copenhagen
The Danish capital provides a brilliant gateway to
Malmo in Sweden and is close to northern Germany, but it is, in itself, a
wonderful holiday destination. If you’ve been saving your pennies at work, see
if you’re lucky enough to get a slot at the world’s best restaurant, Noma. If
not, you’ll be able to spot it on the boat tour, starting at the multicoloured
Nyhavn and taking you around all of the city’s best sights, including the
well-known Little Mermaid statue.

Ang saya dito, at puro travel posts. Of the places mentioned in this post, I haven't been to Copenhagen. Hanggang dream muna ako this time. When will I get back my interest (sa travel) kaya? Only time will tell. Ang drama ko these days, pwede akong dalhin kahit saan huwag lang ako mag plan at mag empake. Ma-drama ba Tita B?
Hope your weekend is dry and relaxing. Hugs.
Gets ko ang drama mo J! Eh afford mo naman kasi ang mag-drama kay F! Spoilled gurl! haha..
Go and fly na again to Europe! Weeeh, Copenhagen naman!
