Being a scuba diving lover, I am looking for the best scuba diving places in Europe for the coming weekend. I was hoping you could suggest to me the best scuba diving places in Europe.
I'm off to Atlanta, USA and have almost 48 hours with me. My next flight to Atlanta is from the Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. I'm wondering about bringing these two days to use. I was hoping you could suggest to me some really good and productive things to do on the Asian side of Turkey.
I want to be able to walk to everything and enjoy the nightlife. Where should I stay in Prague?
I have never been to Prague so I am really excited for my upcoming trip. What are the ‘must-see’ activities I need to do?
I have planned to spend summer vacations in Albania and looking for the best excursion options for a seven-day trip. I was expecting you could suggest to me the best options for an excursion in Albania.
I will be travelling to Disney World with young children as well as teens. Which parks are best so that everyone can enjoy them?
I am going to Italy with my family for a short vacation. I have two kids, one is of age 10, and the other one is 12. Since the Covid situation has taken a bad toll on everyone, i’m not sure what to exactly do with my wife and kids in Italy. Are there any amusement parks and if there are, where are they located?
I’m traveling across Western Europe to Spain, France, Germany, UK and Ireland next month, hence it would be great to find some cheap traveling options there.
I have been flying a lot lately and I have realized that, while air travel is the fastest mode of travel, you always miss a lot of sceneries that you get to see otherwise. So, I just wanted to know whether there is a land-based transit like a train from Istanbul to Bucharest?

Whenever I go somewhere, I mostly use public transit and on very rare occasions, have I rented a car to travel. I am planning a trip to Switzerland next year, however, I am undecided between renting a car or using local trains for travel within the country. Given the beautiful terrain, what would be the best mode of transit to enjoy all that Switzerland has to offer?
My family loves Disneyland Paris! Is there anywhere else in Europe that is similar? It would be great to try somewhere new and mix things up a bit!
Since the Coronavirus pandemic, my partner and I are less keen to spend hours in an airport and then masked up on a plane. But we still want to enjoy overseas holidays – what do you suggest?
I strongly feel it’s time to get away from the UK and head somewhere the sun shines a little more consistently. Where would you recommend for a sunny winter getaway?
I’m planning a multi-country trip around Europe – which countries still have their own currency and how easy is it to access cash when I’m out there?
I’m looking to go away for three or four days and I want to feel like I’ve traveled back in time. Where should I go?
Surely the best thing about cruising is the all-day buffet?! I’ve noticed a lot of cruise lines now have multiple restaurants onboard – which cruise line is the best for onboard dining?
Where in Europe is the best place for a Christmas Market and how long do they run for?
We’re taking the kids away on a special holiday and wondered if you have any recommendations of cruise lines for kids?
The difference in rate for a room-only hotel in Barcelona and one that includes breakfast seems to range from a minimum of £15 to over £40 per person per night. I would prefer to book a room only and go out into the city for breakfast. What are the breakfast choices in Barcelona?
Me and my wife have been saving for years just so we could travel and explore different continents as we had always been travel enthusiasts. Recently, we realized that hiking and trekking mountainous terrain is our thing after we had a tour to the Andes. For our next destination, we have decided to explore the Alps, specifically Switzerland and Austria. Although on our Andes's journey, we hired a tour guide that helped us explore the hidden, attractive sites, we have decided to make our next journey without a tour guide, as tour guides usually oversee a group of people and we would like to travel alone. However, we are still uncertain whether it is a good idea to go on an unknown journey without a tour guide?
I’m looking for a European destination to propose to my girlfriend. We’ve been to Paris before (and loved it), but I want to take her to somewhere new so that it will be a uniquely special trip. Where would you recommend it?
I want to travel the Camino Santiago for the holy year but am afraid of traveling as a solo female. Does anyone have experience with this and have they felt safe?
I’ve never been in a hot air balloon and they look like the most mesmerizing way to see a place. Where in Europe is best for hot air balloon trips?
We’re visiting Cornwall this summer, staying in Marazion. I’ve noticed we’re pretty near the ferry port to the Isles of Scilly. Is it possible to do a day trip to the Isles of Scilly from Mainland Cornwall?
We have a holiday booked to Gouves, Crete this summer, staying at the Andreas Apartments. We would like to see Malia too. What’s the best way to get from Gouves to Malia?
We’re visiting Athens this October, staying at the Acropolis Museum Boutique Hotel. What’s the best way to get from Athens International Airport to the hotel?
I’m staying in Heraklion, Crete, this summer. I’ve always wanted to visit Santorini. Is it possible to visit Santorini on a day trip from Heraklion?
We’re planning on visiting Edinburgh soon. At the time, we’ll have a 6-month-old baby. Is Edinburgh suitable? Could you recommend some things to do?
I’ve found some cheap flights to Copenhagen in January. Is January a good time to visit?
I and my 2 other friends have booked a holiday in a hotel in Majorca in September. How much can I expect to pay in hotel tax when visiting Majorca (Mallorca)?
I don't think we will be travelling abroad anytime soon but I want a holiday booked for next year that we can all look forward to. My son goes to a private school and I want to know what the dates are for school holiday in 2022 and 2023.
I would like to take a UK island holiday this summer. However, I want to visit an island off the main island of the UK. Therefore, I was thinking of seeing the Isle of Wight. What attractions are worth visiting on the Isle of Wight?
I thought, for my next vacation, that I would plan a trip to Sicily. I would like to stay several days in the capital of Palermo. What are some top historical attractions to see?
I will be visiting Italy in a few short months and am wondering about the rules of etiquette in a restaurant. For example, I heard that a man and woman should enter a restaurant in a certain way. What is the etiquette I should follow in this regard and what are other etiquette rules should I remember?
I thought it would be unique to visit the northernmost town on the planet and add the journey to my travel bucket list. Where is the town and what are some of the sites or attractions I can visit?
I have been researching ghost towns and wanted to find a unique town to visit. A friend of mine suggested the ghost town of Varosha in Cypress. Could you give me more details about this town?
We’re visiting Exmouth as a family this summer. We’ll have no car with us, but we’d like to see a bit more of Devon. What are the best family-friendly day trips nearby?
My friend and I have always wanted to visit Santorini together. We want to go at the best time of year as this is a once-in-a-lifetime trip. When is the best time to visit Santorini?
I’m planning a little sightseeing trip around Croatia. I’d like to see Zagreb, but the rest of the scheduled destinations are in the south, meaning I’d need to travel from Zagreb to Split. What’s the best way to make this journey?
My husband and I are visiting Fuerteventura this Autumn. We’re booked to stay at the Barceló Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa in Caleta de Fuste. We were hoping to see Jandia during our trip. Is it possible to visit Jandia on a day trip? What is the best way to go about this?
My family visits Cornwall often in the summer. We spend our days at the beach enjoying the sun and going on walks. We’re not able to visit this summer, and we were thinking of going in December instead. What is Cornwall like in December?
I have a holiday to Kos booked for August this year. I’m staying at Atlantica Porto Bello Beach near Kardamena. Is it worth going on a day trip to Kos Town?

I’ve found lots of cheap flights to Athens next year, when is the best time to visit?
