Italy is a beautiful country with may possibilities for holidaymakers. It has sun, sea and cities in abundance. People who like a mix of culture and beaches on holiday will find plenty to attract them in Italy.

If you love dramatic scenery and coastlines, why not visit the Amalfi coast? If you are brave enough, take a trip down the Amalfi drive. It was originally built by the Romans and offers some beautiful views, however the roads can be a little precarious in places. Take a bus trip if you don’t fancy driving it yourself.

Rome, the capital of Italy, is a fascinating destination that every culture and history lover should visit. See ancient destinations like the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain, or spend the day shopping and enjoying some of the delicious cuisine. Rome has a reputation as a city of culture for a very good reason – you can easily spend three to four days there and fill them.

Beach holidays can be great if you want to get away, relax and have some sun. However, some people feel that they want to get more out of a holiday. Here are some questions to ask yourself if you can’t decide whether you want to go on a beach holiday:
• Do you feel like you need to relax? If so, a beach holiday could be perfect.

• Do you like the sun? For people who love sunbathing and getting a tan, a beach holiday is ideal. If you burn easily, be very careful in the sun. Beaches might not be ideal as they offer little shade.

Of course, it is perfectly fine to combine a beach holiday with other types of holiday as well. You could compromise by staying in a beach town that has other holiday activities available as well, like museums you can visit and nature trails you can walk along.

Asia can be a beautiful and exhilarating continent to visit. There are lots of reasons why you would enjoy a holiday here and this is not just limited to the price alone – although of course, this is a big factor! Asia has plenty to offer and it should be a serious contender for anyone wanting a holiday that is a little bit different.

The downside to an Asian holiday is going to be the flights. Flights will be more expensive than they would be to European destinations and they will also be quite long. There are some good deals available though, so keep your eyes peeled. The price of your holiday once you arrive at your destination will more than make up for a more expensive flight.

Asia is very beautiful and this is one of the main draws for holidaymakers. There is also plenty for families to do and people of all ages can enjoy trips to places like Thailand, Vietnam and Bali.

Package holidays are a good way to have a vacation on a budget. They will include flights, hotels and sometimes food and drink as well, depending on the hotel you decide to book. There are some things you should bear in mind when booking your holiday, so here are some of our top considerations:

  • Check what level of board it is. If you want everything included, choose a full board option. Half board can be a good way to have the chance to explore the local area and try different foods, whilst knowing that some of your food will be included in the price.
  • Look at flight times. Package holiday deals are often cheap because they include flights at inconvenient times. If you are happy to fly at 5am, this is the best way to get the lowest prices.
  • Read the terms and conditions. Don’t get caught out – understand exactly what you are booking.

One of the hardest parts of going on holiday is deciding where to go. After all, there aren’t many other difficulties when it comes to going on holiday! Therefore, it’s a good idea to put some serious thought into your next holiday to make sure you come to the right decision about your destination.

It may be a good idea to keep a list of places that you want to go to so that you can keep track of your most desirable destinations. Even if you don’t keep it up to date, make a list before you start looking at holidays so that you can search more efficiently. If you are going on holiday with somebody else, you could both make a list and compare your destination choices to see where you both want to go.

Once you know where you want to go on holiday, searching will become much easier. Most search engines let you search for specific destinations, so just enter your preferred dates and the location you want to go to.
