Holidays: a chance to escape the mundanity of real-life and embark on an adventure you’ll remember for a lifetime. If you’re stuck for holiday ideas this year, have you ever considered traveling around Europe? The continent is home to diverse cultures and some really amazing holiday destinations that you can add to your bucket list. Here are the top four European Destinations that you’re sure to love.

1. London, England

Is a trip to England really complete without visiting the capital? There’s so much to do in London and you couldn’t possibly fit it all into just one weekend. If you consider yourself a shopaholic, then London is a dream destination for you, as it is classed as one of the big four fashion capitals of the world.

Buckingham Palace is truly a majestic sight to behold, and the view from the top of Big Ben will take your breath away. Even a trip on the London underground is a memorable experience, so take it all in as you navigate the city at speeds of up to 60mph.

2. Amsterdam, Netherlands

Many flocks to the city built on the water for its scenic views and riveting culture. Amsterdam is the perfect destination for a European city break, which is ideal for Britons as city breaks are the nation’s favorite type of holiday to take.

Creative people will love the art scene in Amsterdam and can easily spend hours admiring the paintings at the Van Gogh museum. For a more sobering experience, why not visit the Anne Frank Museum? The building serves as a real-life reminder of the horrors of World War II, as you explore the annex that Anne Frank and her family hid in for more than two years.

3. Zürich, Switzerland

For a more luxurious escape, be sure to visit Zürich. The Niederdorf region is a tourist hotspot in Zürich, as it is filled with many fantastic restaurants and independent shops. After you’ve eaten and browsed the stalls, you should definitely go on a boat ride; touring the city on the water is a completely different experience and you’ll also be able to see all of Zurich’s iconic landmarks in half the time.

However, if you’re planning to visit Switzerland (especially for winter sports), make sure you have the correct travel insurance, as a hospital stay could set you back around £6,127 a day.

4. Lanzarote, Spain

Ideal for families, this Spanish destination is packed with many fun activities that the kids are sure to love. Lanzarote is renowned for its beautiful, sandy beaches; parents can relax with a cool drink, while the kids splash around in the ocean. If you’re hoping for a more adrenaline-filled Spanish adventure, try your hand at diving and explore the underwater marine life. Lanzarote is also a place of natural beauty and you could easily spend the day exploring Timanfaya National Park; hike it on foot or hire out some bikes to explore this vast region.
