Just looking at booking a week somewhere warm early May, maybe the Canaries with my husband. Also looking to book a cheap city break in Europe for Feb/March with friends.
Where is everyone going on holidays this year? I need some inspiration.

I agree with the person above, a day was plenty of time there.
It can be a bit of a rough boat ride though, it was very choppy on the way back. People were throwing up all over the place!

Loved staying in Porec, we also did a day trip to Lake Bled which was absolutely stunning and I enjoyed that much more than Venice.

Ditto to all you said, when we got on the catamaran and there were seatbelts I was concerned and was popping mints the entire way to try and take the edge off that sick feeling.
Also we spent a week in Slovenia and we went to Lake Bled and the Julian Alps which were both fat nicer than Venice. I found Slovenia in general a beautiful country and would love to go back.

Going to my siblings wedding abroad to Greece for 10 days, will try and squeeze in a cheap city break towards autumn.

I love Italy, obsessed with the food, would love to go to Florence or Amalfi Coast!

Will probably end up in Budapest though!

I am going to London in May for my birthday and New York in November. I'm so excited, I have never been to the USA and have saved like mad for this holiday!

We went on a day trip to Venice when we were on holiday in Porec, Croatia. It was start of October a few years ago and it was heaving then, I can't imagine what it must be like in August.

It was a lovely place and I'm glad I've been but I wouldn't go back. I didn't really enjoy it because of the crowds, beggers and people selling tatt on every bridge and corner.
I kept saying it's nice but it's a shame that it's been ruined by tourists (fully self aware that I was there as a tourist!)

Canary Islands in Feb half term and Filey in August.
The kids are completely indifferent to the Canary Island holiday and are watching Filey videos on YT.
Can't work that one out!
They have already said they would rather do Center Parcs next year, because the airport is boring and they like the bike rides and big pools better. Fair enough! 🤷‍♀️

I've literally just booked for Budapest and i'm hoping for a little uk getaway towards the back end of the year (Newcastle because i love it there!) and maybe an xmas market abroad in dec.… but if anyone has any recommendatiions for Budapest i'm all ears! :)

Also, wanting to look into getting married in Vegas in a few years so any suggestions for things to do/see/where to stay will be GREATLY welcomed. I've found a photog and a few hotels I like but that's all so far haha!

I had my hen do in Budapest and it was amazing!

as people have recommended- caravan street food is amazing. Szimpla Kert is cool, and thermal bath spa place is lovely! We didn’t do much touristy stuff but the castle is meant to be good! There’s also a lot of nice rooftop bars!

I am going to Tenerife in 2 weeks for 4 nights. I start a new job soon after and would love a mental break. Supposed to be hot but not too hot, and isn't as expensive, either. Booked it all through Easyjet as half-board for 500pp

We went mid February last year. Had mainly lovely weather during the day, but a bit chilly at night. Love Tenerife.

Haven't planned anything yet, but I like travelling by train a lot. Hoping to go to Germany, Aystruz and Holland by train from the UK, have taken the Amtrak from Seattle down to San Diego. There is a woman on Instagram called MominZurich who travels a lot in Europe by train. She raved about Budapest.
