Where will you fly, though? You’ve no shortage of choice anyway, with destinations including…
Faro
If you want a real taste of Portugal, this has to be one of the best spots to experience.
With its perfect beaches, sensational seafood and charming old town, you’re in for a holiday that was made for the ‘gram.
Do yourself a favour: try a pastéis de nata while you’re there. They’re absolutely unreal.
Distance from airport to city centre: 7km
Lisbon
Of course, if you want a more cosmopolitan Portuguese experience, your destination needs to be Lisbon.
With all its hills and old-timey trams everywhere, it’s essentially the San Francisco of Europe. Only cooler.
We can guarantee you won’t regret seeing this city with your own two eyes.
Distance from airport to city centre: 6km
Alicante
Get yourself to this Spanish city if you’re loco for an auld fiesta.
With history dating all the way back to the Middle Ages, this culturally significant spot is home to the Fogueres de Sant Joan, a massive festival of fireworks, bonfires and all things pyrotechnic.
As if Spain wasn’t hot enough already.
Distance from airport to city centre: 12km
Gran Canaria
Gran Canaria may be an island, but don’t think that limits the amount of activities it has on offer.
It’s an ideal spot for hiking, mountain biking, geeking out on history, waterskiing, or just plain old sunbathing somewhere on more than 60 kilometres of beach.
Any of those options sound like decent holiday activity to us, TBH.
Distance from airport to city centre: 25km
Nice
The spelling of this destination is apt, but it’s also a bit of an understatement: it’s a whole lot better than simply nice.
It’s the very definition of a classy French city, with its abundance of aesthetically pleasing streets, contented tourists lounging outside cafés, and the sea providing a stunning backdrop for all those holiday snaps.
For a more relaxed city break, choose Nice.
Distance from airport to city centre: 8km
Lyon
If you love to eat, I mean really love to eat, then this is the spot for you.
Indulge in the very best of traditional French cuisine, with innumerable local eateries offering up fresh pastries, St Marcellin cheese and, for the true gourmands, blood sausage.
Drooling yet?
Distance from airport to city centre: 19km
Toulouse
This lovely location is also known as ‘The Pink City’… and once you visit, you soon see why.
As you stroll through the winding cobbled streets of Toulouse, you’ll see rose-coloured buildings everywhere. This simple little quirk gives the city a charm that’ll make it stick in your memory for a lifetime.
Definitely a destination worth adding to your bucket list.
Distance from airport to city centre: 9km
