Top Travel Ideas For Summer

Summer is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than planning a trip? If you’re keen to take some time off during the warmer months, but you don’t know where to go or what to do, we’ve got you covered. Here are some top travel ideas for the summer holidays. 

Road tripping

Road-tripping is a brilliant way to discover new places, embrace outdoor living and enjoy moving at your own pace. There are some fabulous locations to explore without getting on a plane or boat, but you could also consider planning a road trip if you fancy visiting more exotic locations. Think about what you want to do, how far you want to travel and how much you want to spend and consider transport options. You could travel by car, rent an RV or look for motorhomes for sale if you enjoy camping or you’re eager to travel more in the months and years to come. Research routes and itineraries and customise your plans to suit your interests and budget. From winding coastal paths and quaint seaside villages in the UK to American adventures or family camping trips in France or Italy, there are all kinds of options on offer. 

Adventure holidays

For many of us, holidays are about taking time out to relax and unwind, but if you’re an adrenaline junkie, the idea of basking by a pool for two weeks may not be all that appealing. If you love the great outdoors, or you’re a thrill-seeker by nature, why not plan an adventure holiday? Hike on glaciers in New Zealand or Iceland, go rock climbing in Australia, Switzerland or France, or try river rafting in Croatia, Canada or Norway. You can research organised tours and group trips or create your own itinerary. 

Beach breaks

Summer is synonymous with sunshine and blue skies. For those eager to enjoy a well-earned break, a beach holiday is an ideal option. Being by the sea or the ocean is therapeutic and many of us feel refreshed and energised after a trip to the beach. Research locations and choose a destination based on the type of holiday you want to enjoy, who you’re travelling with and how far you want to venture. If you have kids, family-friendly beach resorts in countries like Spain, Turkey, Malta and Greece are great. If you’re looking to escape it all with your partner or a friend, why not explore locations like Bali, Mauritius, Montenegro, the smaller Caribbean islands or Thailand’s remote islands?

If you fancy combining the best of both worlds and mixing city-slicking with a beach break, head to Lisbon, Valencia, Barcelona, Dubrovnik or Los Angeles.

It’s that time of year again when many of us start planning trips away and fun weekends with friends and family members. If you’re hoping to take a break, why not plan a road trip, an adventure holiday or a beach break? Choose destinations based on your budget, how you want to spend your time, who you’re going with and how far you want to travel.
