What better way to beat the winter blues than thinking about planning your next getaway with your best friends? Most people choose to plan a summer holiday with their pals, but opting to go away in the springtime can be the perfect solution if you want to get away earlier in the year.
Here are a few reasons why you should consider heading away for a weekend break with your friends this year:
Hassle-free travel
If you book somewhere in Europe, you can find a whole host of places to visit that are only an hour or two away via plane such as Paris, Amsterdam or Bruges.
To make your journey even simpler and to save time, you could opt to check-in online and only take a small item of hand luggage. You could also use a meet and greet airport parking in places like Manchester Airport to ensure your journey is stress-free from the moment you depart.
Time of year
Choosing to take a trip with your girls in the spring months means you will avoid the usual hustle and bustle of airports during the peak summer holiday season.
Lots of European cities will generally be a lot quieter in the spring months. Travelling in spring means you will be able to visit some of the most iconic and famous attractions and landmarks without dealing with huge crowds and warmer temperatures.
Choosing to travel during spring will also help you keep the costs down, as flights and hotels are generally cheaper. The lack of holiday goers may also mean you can stay somewhere more luxurious for less, as the best accommodations in destinations like Ibiza, Spain or Greece are less likely to be booked up in these months.
Easy to commit to
Heading away for a long weekend break tends to be something more people can commit to in comparison to an entire week during the summer holidays when people usually have other plans such as weddings or spending time with their families.
Booking a short weekend break means you have more chance of getting a group of your friends together, and there are lots of European breaks you can do in a weekend.
Nightlife
If you and your friends enjoy a night on the town, think about picking a destination where you will find plenty of bars and nightclubs to keep you entertained. Cities like Barcelona, Berlin and Amsterdam have plenty of places you can enjoy having drinks and dancing together. The perfect way to spend a weekend with your friends!
Often some of the bigger clubs sell out during the peak summer season, so are likely to find that heading abroad a few months earlier will make it easier to secure tickets for big events.
The above are just a few reasons why you might want to opt for a weekend away in the spring with your girlfriends, but there are so many other reasons to ditch the usual summer holiday and try something new this year instead.
