Santa Susanna

Discover Teen Friendly Santa Susanna

Teenagers can often be surprising, and sometimes I don’t think we give them enough credit, especially when it comes to choosing a holiday destination. While we can be accused of assuming that all they want to do is lay about being moody, I know lots of kids today who have grown up quickly and developed a mature attitude to life that is sometimes overlooked. Instead of being the stereotypical teens we believe them to be, many are keen to explore, discover and make the most of a week away with the family. Santa Susanna is an ideal family holiday destination

Irlande

Country Profile: Ireland

Rugged, picturesque and remarkably diverse; Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries in all of Europe. A very small island found in the North Atlantic with Great Britain to its east, Ireland is packed with rolling plains, weaving rivers, low-lying mountains and beaches – all of which are easily explored due to the small size of the country. This stunning scenery, coupled with a relaxed, fun and rural way of living, ensure that this is an enchanting and romantic country which is perfect for exploring by bike or foot. With a rich history of mythological traditions, fantastical literature and

Liechtenstein

Country Profile: Liechtenstein

Introduction If ever the words “small but perfectly formed” were apt, it would be when describing the tiny Alpine principality of Liechtenstein. This diminutive micro-nation nestled between Austria and Switzerland is home to some of the most staggeringly beautiful scenery in Europe, with rolling Alpine meadows, lush forested hillsides, the silver ribbon of the Rhine and castles from the pages of a fairy tale. But all that eye candy is actually just the beginning. The country has one of the most important industrial histories in the world, with roots dating back to the Stone Age. Encompassing an area of just

Lido di Jesolo

Lido di Jesolo With Teens: What to See and Do

Teenagers, by their very nature, can be hard to please, especially when it comes to holidays. My kids are still tiny, but I already anticipate that finding holiday destinations that will keep the teens happy is going to be a challenge. That said, I have a list of places I think will be just perfect, and Lido di Jesolo is one of them. Located on the coast in the Veneto region of Italy, this tourist town is home to one of the longest beaches in Italy – which in itself is a huge draw! Apart from being in the ideal

Bratislava

Bratislava Shore Excursions

In 1993 the former country of Czechoslovakia was divided into the independent sovereign states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Thanks to the magical city of Prague, the Czech Republic was quickly able to become a popular tourist destination with Slovakia lagging well behind in terms of visitor numbers. Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, has seen a growing number of visitors in recent times but remains a secondary attraction when compared with the great cities of central Europe such as Prague, Budapest, Warsaw and Vi

Lourdes

A Guide to the Sacred Sites of Lourdes

Lourdes, today the most visited Christian pilgrimage site in the world, is a small town in southwest France nestled into the foothills of the Pyrenees. More than 5 million pilgrims and tourists travel to Lourdes every year to worship in the place where, in 1858, a young visionary named Bernadette saw visions of the Virgin Mary. The pilgrimage season continues from April to October, with the main day, known as the Marian Feast of Assumption, taking place on 15th August. The actual sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes covers 52 hectares and is home to 22 places of worship that

Country Profile: Ireland

Introduction With a culture woven from legend, rich Celtic mythology and fiercely-held tradition, the enchanting spirit of Ireland can work its way into even the hardest of hearts. The Emerald Isle so romantically described in 18th century poetry lives up to its name, with a landscape so diverse it’s hard to believe so much beauty can exist in one small island. But alongside the breath-taking terrain and storied relics of an intrinsically important civilisation, perhaps the most enduring symbol of the country is her people. In a nation where everyone’s a storyteller and every stranger is a friend waiting to

With Germany to the south and fellow Nordic countries Sweden and Norway to the north, Denmark links Europe with Scandinavia and this fusion is noticeable throughout the country.

Polen

Country Profile: Poland

Introduction With an evocative history and a culture with its roots deeply embedded in the past, the vitality and contemporary energy of Poland’s major cities comes as a delightful surprise. The country wears its juxtaposition of eras with a comfortable charm; the stunning Renaissance, Art Nouveau and Baroque architecture of Kraków sitting comfortably alongside the ghosts of its Gothic past, and the medieval ruins of hilltop fortresses and crumbling castles dotting the vast tracts of unspoiled landscape ideal for hiking, cycling and kayaking. This resilient country’s very own Renaissance as a much sought-after holiday destination is undeniable. What To Do
