If heading abroad, flight inclusive holidays are usually one of the best ways to book, although the Eurostar can also be ideal. Whichever way you choose to travel, there are some fantastic destinations in the UK and Europe.
Paris should be on everyone's hit list of cities to visit. Even if you've been before, there's plenty just waiting to be discovered still.
Whether you're hoping to visit the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain, or you want to go back to your favourite gelato shop, bella Roma is the quintessential city to explore.
