Planning a trip to Ireland? Here is a list of the Top 5 things you should include when looking for Ireland vacation packages. 1. A Walking Tour If you love the outdoors and is physically fit, you should consider a walking package in your Ireland tours. They may range from short or long and may last from a day to more than a week. This kind of tour may include accommodation and may include a van to pick you up. You can also do walking individually. This is also a cheaper option than renting a car. 2. Historical Tour Ireland abounds with a lot of history so a trip to the different historical sites. So including a tour to the different sites in your Ireland vacation packages can make the trip worthwhile. Take a trip to popular attractions such as the Blarney Castle, Dublin Castle, Ross Castle, to name just a few. You can also visit the Guinness Brewery in Dublin, the Cliffs of Moher, and St.Patrick’s Cathedral. 3.

Enjoying A Road Trip through France from London by Car
Adventure Travel/Destinations/EuropeWhichever roads you choose to travel on in France take your driving license and insurance documentation with you. It is worth photocopying these so that you have something in case they are lost. Prepare your vehicle for the journey Make sure your car is prepared for the journey with adequate oil and screen wash. It is also a good idea to check your tyres before a long journey on the continent because vehicle inspections there by traffic officers can be more in-depth. Replace the tyres of your car if they are partly worn down and purchase them from a reputable dealer like Point-s. Check your tyres’ tread with an RTG7 gauge and carry an RCT1 emergency kit in case of later problems. This will ensure that you remain street legal under France’s road regulations. The law in many European countries also puts more responsibility on drivers to carry safety equipment with them than you find at home. For example drivers must carry a warning triangle with them, as well as a first-aid kit. It is probably worth buying a travel kit which contains all the items necessary before leaving British soil. You will also need to buy beam adapters in France […]

When spending your days in the one of the world’s most visited cities, you could use a day to change the scenery. Luckily, for those of you in Paris, Bruges is just a few hours away and makes for a delightful day trip. If you are thinking about how to get there, I would suggest renting a car for the day, as it only takes about three hours to drive from Paris to Bruges. If you or someone in your group is able to operate a manual stick shift, it will help you save a few dollars on the rental price. Do not worry if no one is able to drive a manual car; there are automatic options available as well. Make sure you pick up your car as soon as the rental company opens, so you can take full advantage of your day in Bruges. You won’t need to worry about any Customs procedures, making the drive even easier. Upon your arrival to Bruges, make your way through the cobblestone streets towards Market Square. It is here that the Provincial Court and the Belfry of Bruges will greet you at the town center. The Belfry is the beautifully erected […]
A Parisian Winter: Walking Through Christmas on the Champs-Élysées
Destinations/EuropeThe Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France is one of most highly recognized streets in the City of Light, if not the world. Stretching from the Arc de Triumph down to Place de la Concorde, Champs-Élysées is lined with shops, expensive real estate, cafes, and true Parisian architecture. On sunny days, the sun seems to be shining extra bright as it reflects off the old light fixtures and the large display windows of fancy boutiques; at the night, Champs-Élysées shines from the racing car headlights and the glow from those very same vintage lights the sun reflected off of earlier. To make this scene even more beautiful and storybook-like, you must experience the Avenue des Champs-Élysées during the winter holiday months. From late November to early January, the avenue is completely transformed into a winter wonderland. Walking from Place de la Concorde up to the first roundabout, you will find that Christmas has completely taken over this stretch of the avenue, as well as all of your senses. The Christmas Market on the Champs-Élysées is truly one of the best in the city. Not only are you walking on one of the grandest places on earth, but the market is […]
