The 10 Best Holiday Destinations In The World - Part 1
Everyone has a different view of what constitutes the ideal holiday. While some think that a lively destination full of clubs and bars is the perfect way to unwind, others may prefer to make like Robinson Crusoe and stow away to a desert island for a couple of weeks. Whatever floats your holiday boat, the following destinations are well-known for being the best in class when it comes to offering a specific type of holiday perfection…
Alghero, Sardinia: The quiet retreat
For those of us who like a quiet life, there are few places more suited to relaxed living and unspoilt scenery as Alghero in Sardinia. As yet undiscovered by the tourist masses, this beautiful Italian island offers gorgeous coastlines, wide open spaces and a distinct lack of development. With no busy nightlife to contend with, there are enough quiet bars and restaurants to cater for all preferences, without plunging the harried traveller in to the thick of a throng of people. Cycling, sailing and hiking your way through a holiday here will be guaranteed to leave you feeling as stress-free as it gets.
Benidorm, Spain: The clubbers hub
Sun, sea, sand and a wealth of entertainment still marks Benidorm out as one of the most popular destinations for people looking for a vibrant nightlife with amazing weather and great beaches. The Costa Blanca may have received a bad rap over the past few years but it remains a fabulous place for dancing, socialising and relaxing with plenty of great restaurants and over thirty discos to choose from.
Split, Croatia: The architect’s dream
Croatia is an unrivalled holiday destination for those looking for breathtaking buildings and superb architecture. Wander the palace walls during the day, spending time in comfortable cafes or small bars, before heading off to the bustling markets for an afternoon of bargain hunting. If you’re at a loose end by nightfall, wander among the many monuments on your way to an intimate and friendly restaurant to finish off your day.
Paris, France: The heart of romance
No matter what your views on France may be, romance is always going to be the first word that comes to mind. Paris, the home of decadence, chic and architectural elegance, is still the first word in romantic getaways for couples of all ages. Visiting the Louvre and climbing the Eiffel Tower are just two of the must-have experiences in Paris, in between sampling the great cuisine, or simply wandering hand in hand through the busy streets absorbing the French culture.
Albufeira, Algarve: The jack of all trades
No matter what you are looking for from your ideal holiday, the chances are Albufeira in Portugal can provide it. With some areas dedicated to dancing, music and bars, other areas lend themselves to historical architecture and true traditional Portuguese hospitality. Friendly people, a great range of activities and generally great weather means that Albufeira endures as one of the most welcoming and rewarding places to visit.
