Urge to travel but do not not were to go

When do you want to travel?

Hi

We are quite flexible really , possible October this year or Spring next year . Thank you

Go and see the Northern Lights up in Scandinavia ? You are lucky living near Europe, it is so close for you.

What about a city break...choose somewhere small ....I love valencia...very flat ...good public transport if you need it...beach, old city, new city ...too hot in summer but other seasons would be fine

Santorini is fabulous. My favourite place is Venice.

Why not look at a holiday let or hotel in North Yorkshire, we are there now and have friends coming from Ireland to join us for a few days.

We are spoilt for choice as to where to go and what to do.
After collecting our guests from the airport we are going to Harrogate for a breakfast at Betty’s and a wander around the town, we will then drive to our place in Ripon via Ripley, in the afternoon we will walk around Ripon visiting the Cathedral.
York for the day on Sunday to visit the Minster, walk the City walls and see some Roman ruins, back to Ripon and walk into town to watch the Hornblower at 9pm (this is one of the longest ongoing traditions in the world a nightly ritual since 886AD)
On Monday we will walk around Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal then a whistle stop tour of Wensleydale in the afternoon.

We could also visit Newby Hall, The Himalayan Gardens, Aldborough Roman town, Castle Bolton, Richard 111 castle at Middleham and so it goes on!

We have had our place here for 3 years and we are never short of something to do, the holidaymakers who write in our guest book have found places we had never even heard of.

I can’t guarantee no rain but you shouldn’t be sweltering in the heat!

City breaks are normally quite interesting, Barcelona, Prague or Gibraltar, or if you feel like being a bit more Adventist try Turkey in late September or October, parts of Turkey have the most amazing historical sites and fabulous geography.

Sorry, adventurous!

Why not get some travel brochures and see what takes your fancy?

Barcelona is fabulous..

Or ask a travel agent.

I’ve had European city breaks in Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Vienna, Stockholm … and more. My daughter and I are going to Helsinki in July. Not too far to travel, always plenty to do.

There’s a good idea 😂

Copenhagen. History, accessibility, great food, not too hot. What's not to like!
I'm going there myself next month.

Look out for the peas 😃
Delicious!

Lots of suggestions for Europe already so further afield, India - not expensive and good tourist infrastructure, choose a cooler time of year.

There is just nowhere on earth like Iceland it is so different . It is expensive but well worth the effort to visit and almost eveyone speaks good English .The scenery is unlike anywhere else .
For the best food nothing beats a good Austrian hotel .
For lovely people and good food and scenery go to Lake Garda in Italy .

Why not move into a hotel close to home and visit your own area as if you were a tourist.

We stayed in the next County and visited all the National Trust places which were just too far for day trips.

I will second the Italian lakes just lovely, you can take day trips from there to Venice, Verona and lots of other places.

It's Scandinavia I'd recommend. A bit different, accessible, beautiful and very interesting. I loved Northern Norway in particular.

Some GNers are taking cruises, all the travelling without the packed airports!

I second that

We've had a wonderful short breaks in Riga, Latvia and Bucharest, Romania both far nicer than I expected them to be! Not too "touristy" either.
