hot spots to travel

Everyone needs a little bit of travel in their lives, why not now while its hot? Check out some of the hot spots of 2011 and why they made the list!

Rome, Italy - a great city to visit at any time of year as it has a warm climate but for travel in 2011, Rome comes highly recommended. When visiting Rome you quickly find that it is the kind of city that keeps surprising you at every corner as there are so many iconic buildings and images throughout the city. It’s a great city to walk around and the public transport is also easy to use.

Melbourne, Australia - This Australian city had long been associated with arts, culture and great entertainment. Those reasons alone make it a great choice for you holidays for 2011. Melbourne also prides itself on its great restaurants and it is often hailed as a ‘foodie’s paradise’. There is also lots of great sightseeing in Melbourne making it the perfect choice for your travel 2011.


Madrid, Spain - Many visitors choosing Spain for a weekend break tend to overlook Madrid and opt for Barcelona instead. However Madrid is well worth a visit and is a great choice for travel in 2011. Madrid is a beautiful city to walk around and it also has some great shops, parks and squares to sit out in. Madrid is probably the best place to experience tapas too. When you go to eat out, this is the way to do it – lots of small dishes and great if there is a group of you. So keep an eye out for some travel offers to Madrid for your holidays for 2011


Galway, Ireland - The west of Ireland has so much to offer and is a great choice for couples or families for travel in 2011. If you base yourself in Galway with a few days to spare you really can make the most of the city. Galway city is beautiful to walk around and also has some great shopping. If you get a nice day then you really can enjoy Eyre Square and the Spanish Arch, or even make the short trip out to Salthill and enjoy the beach and this coastal town.


The Philippines and Thailand - the Philippines is being tipped as a travel hotspot for 2011. This would be a great stop off if you are one of the lucky ones planning a round the world trip or even if you want to try something different and have a couple of weeks to do so.

Thailand has always been a popular choice for those looking to experience another culture while relaxing and enjoying some of the world’s best beaches but this year really could see The Philippines give Thailand a run for its money.

The Philippines is very cheap, just like Thailand, and once you are there, you can get by easily on about 20 euro a day. And there are some beautiful beaches along the Zambales Coast and there are also a lot of islands along the coast so you can do some island hopping as there are plenty of ferry companies offering this service, and again it’s very cheap to do so.

Tallinn, Estonia - Tallinn was up to recently known for its party image and destination as a stag party haven. However, travel in 2011 sees this changing as the city has been selected as a 2011 European Capital of Culture. The bar is being raised on tourism in Tallinn for 2011 to embrace this role, making it an ideal holiday for 2011. Tallinn has a lot to see including some great museums, a waterfront promenade and a great arts venue.
