Holidays In Europe

[Zezti]

I second this (As a serious reply this time)

Went to Gran Canaria myself a couple of years back and it was great. It's got a bit of everything there. Nice beaches, fun nightlife without 'too many' obnoxious Brits, old buildings and some stunning countryside once you venture inland and a bit higher in altitude. Las Palmas is great if you love the old buildings (The Cathederal is amazing) and a trip up to the top of Pico de la Neves is a must-see:

Similarly, Fuerteventura. Lots of resorts, good restaurants and beaches. Wasn't too pricey when I last went there.

Go to Blackpool for all your :

Anywhere nice to take an 8 year old around October time?

Already had our 'sunlounger' holiday so was looking for something a bit interesting, but hopefully good weather too!

Barcelona? It's got tons of Museums, zoo, good weather, and is just a bit of a visual feast. Depends what you like doing and what your young un would be interested in.

We went to Corfu a few years ago with 3 similar age kids. They just loved playing in the pool and going to Greek bars in the afternoon and the weather was perfect. Hired a 30cc boat and went along the coast a bit. Sea was warm good time of year to go.

The resorty places might feel a bit deserted like Blackpool in November but warmer. Lovely old town as well in Corfu town.

South Spain/ Portugal. Cheap flights to Malaga or Faro. Not guaranteed good weather but is often 25 plus degrees.

I concur

Nerja for Spain or Carvoeiro in Portugal.

Been taking my daughter both places for the last 7 years, we love both of them.

Been to Ibiza and Mallorca in October and weather has been decent. Good deals on nice hotels as it's winding down for the season.

The area around Sylinfarfell in southwest Iceland is quite spectacular

Barcelona, Malaga & Valencia are all cool cities worth a visit, easy to fly to, warm with a beach and great to look at architecturally.

haven’t been abroad since before the pandemic, but I might start saving up to go somewhere next year

Would love to go hiking in somewhere like Switzerland or Austria

If you stay in Zurich there are apparently good hiking opportunities about an hour away and you’re also only 90 minutes away from Lichtenstein, which I’d love to visit just for the novelty
