Budapest has two holiday faces. The older side is characterized by grand buildings, sweeping bridges and ornate coffee houses. And the younger face is made up of boutique hotels, cool bars and a nightlife that caters with abandon to every taste. Situated in central Europe, Budapest is Hungary’s capital city and over the past ten years has experienced a surge of dynamism characterized by up-market establishments, shopping malls and restaurants. Getting around on holiday in Budapest is easy. It is a compact city with the River Danube flowing between the main tourist districts of Buda and Pest. They were only brought together in 1837.

Holiday destination: London Holidays


London is one of the world’s greatest capital cities. You could holiday in London for three months and you still wouldn’t see every attraction the city has to offer. This multi-cultural city can offer value for money as long as you choose your accommodation in London and your entertainment and restaurants wisely. Ethnic restaurants are good value and you’ll find food from every part of the world here. There is also a great selection of free concerts (often in wonderful churches or in theatre foyers) and London’s world-class museums are free. London is less overwhelming once you treat it as a cluster of villages – each with their own style. They include arty Chelsea, buzzy West End, snooty Knightsbridge, leafy Hyde Park, impressive Westminster, intellectual Bloomsbury and happening Soho. History, royalty, theatre, shopping, fashion, classical arts and clubbing: there truly is something in London for every taste and every budget.

Belgium is not a big country so touring holidays are easy and low on stress. If you do travel round, you’ll find interesting landscapes with the rivers, gorges and forest of the Ardennes at odds with the rolling plains that make up much of the countryside. There are well-preserved historic cities, castles and churches dotted all over the place and wide sandy beaches along the northern Flanders Coast. Ostend is the liveliest resort. For local color on your holiday in Belgium you can’t beat Bruges, Ghent and Tournai. Brussels, Bruges and Antwerp are strongest on culture. Ghent and Antwerp have the liveliest and most varied nightlife.

Austria's imperial glories have settled down into a comfortable, safe country blessed by sparkling mountains and lakes. The capital city Vienna resonates to the music of Schubert, Strauss, but above all, Mozart.

Holiday destination: Italy

When it comes to art, history, music, design, fashion, great food and wine, all roads seem to lead back to Italy. It’s no wonder that it is one of the most-visited countries in the world. It does offer a full, deluxe package of everything a traveler could wish for. If your goal is just to see iconic attractions, your journey would take you from north to south, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, to the Doge’s Palace in Venice and the Coliseum in Rome. In between you’d be treated to spectacular scenery along the way.

Imagine driving through the countryside with the windows down. Sometimes you’d smell fragrant orange and lemon blossoms. Other times, the scent of freshly baked focaccia would linger in the air. Italy appeals to all the senses. Touch buttery soft Italian-made cashmere sweaters in the shops of Milan. Taste the freshness of homemade, tomato sauce with savoury pasta, hand dried the old-fashioned way. See the deep shades of crimson as you raise a glass of Tuscan red wine to the light. Hear the crystal clear sounds of a Verdi opera reverberate in a centuries-old theatre.

Even if you’ve been to Italy before, it still holds surprises for even repeat visitors. Take a ferry to explore islands like Sicily off the coast, or go north to picturesque peaks of the Italian Alps. Consider a hands-on experience in Italy to really appreciate its wonders. You can spend a day with a wine master, learning the secrets of wine appreciation, or you may tour Roman ruins with an archaeologist and try your hand at uncovering, ancient artifacts. No matter how or where you go, your holiday in Italy promises to thrill with discoveries old and new.

Malaysia has the best of both worlds with unspoiled islands that are the epitome of paradise and lively cities that sweep you up in their energetic spirit.

It’s been nominated as one of the world’s most beautiful places and its beaches were featured in the 1958 classic film, South Pacific. Redang Island is coveted among scuba divers for its healthy reefs and crystal clear waters. Penang, often called “Pearl of the Orient,” is a popular island with shoppers and gourmet-minded visitors.

Holiday destination: Japan Holidays

Japan both bewilders and bewitches in equal measures. Japan is westernized but quite different from any western country. It is part of Asia but unlike any other Asian society. Japan appeals to the visitor who likes to observe, have their senses stimulated and enjoys difference. Holidays in Japan can embrace the country’s many contrasts, from fast frantic Tokyo to the quiet mountainous beauty of Hakone (best in autumn). From Kyoto with its temples, shrines, gardens and long-standing connection to the imperial family, to the cherry blossom season in early April. The country is separated from the Asian mainland by 160km/100 miles of sea. As much as 70 per cent of the land is covered by hills and mountains with a series of mountain ranges and a very long coastline in relation to its land area.

Holiday destination: New Zealand Holidays

No wonder New Zealand has a clean green image. The best holidays in New Zealand make the most of its great outdoors and the country is now a leading and fashionable eco holiday destination. New Zealand is two islands, conveniently called North Island and South Island. The country measures 994 miles (1,600km) from north to south and is 1,200 miles (1931km) southeast of Australia. The landscape is dominated by mountains and there is a stunning variety of scenery. There are over fourteen national parks and you will find bubbling geysers, tumbling waterfalls, moss filled valleys, forests and golden beaches. New Zealand also has a long ski season from early June to October! The two main islands are relatively narrow so no inland location lies more than about 68 miles (110km) from the sea.

Holiday destination: Cook Islands Holidays





The Cook Islands offer you not one but 15 small islands smack bang in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Look on a map and you will find them north-east of New Zealand. The islands were formed from volcanic activity and are split into two main groups; southern and northern. Rarotonga, the capital, is in the southern group. On holidays to the Cook Islands you’ll wallow in beautiful lagoons and laze on sandy beaches. No building is allowed to be taller than the tallest palm tree. This is about as remote as it gets. The islands are self-governing in free association with New Zealand.

Holiday destination: Australia



The worst part of going to Australia on holiday is going home. It’s such a diverse, large country that you just know that you’ve missed some of the essential sights. No worries. You can always make a return trip and explore a different area. Try as you might, you just can’t see it all on holiday.

First-time visitors are amazed at just how eclectic Australia is. At the northern tip, near Cairns, the weather is tropical, with balmy temperatures and ancient rainforests full of wildlife. On the Gold Coast, surfer dudes hit the waves while sunbathers look on. In the south, rolling hills and dry warm weather in the Barossa region is perfect for producing grapes for Australia’s most famous wine labels like Wolf Blass and Jacob’s Creek. Stretched through the middle of the country, the Outback appeals to nature lovers and stargazers. In the west, there’s a touch of cowboy culture with large-scale cattle and sheep ranches, plus a gorgeous coastline that is perfect for leisurely, sightseeing drives. For those who want to go off the beaten path, make sure your holiday itinerary includes Tasmania – an island that is a small wonder down under.

No matter where you go, the welcome you’ll receive from Australian residents is warm and sincere. The Australians see visitors from Britain like long lost family members. They are among the world’s most hospitable people and before you know it, you really do feel more like one of the family, than a tourist. You’re sure to take home memories of not just what you saw and did, but of the mates you made along the way.

Holiday destination: Turkey





Your exploration of Turkey should include Istanbul, the only city in the world to be located in both Europe and Asia. It was once the capital of three empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman – each has left its mark. The city’s museums, churches, palaces, mosques and bazaars are attractions that hold infinite potential for sightseeing. Don’t miss Tokapi Palace, a maze of grand buildings that was once the home to sultans and their court between the 15th and 19th centuries. Its opulence is truly astounding. Istanbul’s Imperial Sultana met Mosque (better known as the Blue Mosque) is synonymous with the city. In the summer months, an evening light show is a wonderful way to learn more about this cultural landmark.

Take a path to another time by following one of the infamous silk roads of Anatolia. Goods such as porcelain, spices, paper, jewelry and silk flowed along these roads for almost 2,000 years. Today their renewed popularity brings tourists from around the world to witness this important part of history, with visits to ancient mansions, inns, and mosques. Turkey’s Mediterranean coast is famous for mild winters and warm summers. A dip in the Mediterranean, or a visit to a Turkish bath, makes Britain’s sometime chilly weather seem far, far away.

Holiday destination: Mauritius





Mauritius is pretty good destination in Asia for visiting and all these are top tourist attraction which are mentioned by you. The beauty of Mauritius allures tourists and visitors come from around the globe.
