This time last year, we were delighted to start the summer holiday season with many of our Members traveling to some of Europe’s most popular destinations. For this year, under new government guidelines, entry restrictions have now broadly been lifted* for many destinations.
Here are the top ten European destinations to travel to this summer as selected by our Members.
Nice offers a perfect blend of a calming seaside with the vibrancy of a cosmopolitan city. The Southeastern French town, built on the seashore, basks in the warm Mediterranean climate and offers culture, museums and galleries aplenty. As one the best transportation hubs in Europe, Nice offers easy and unrivalled access, including Monaco and the Corniche.
Cannes is the place to experience the glamour and tranquility of the French Riviera. With one of the most famed marinas in France, life in Cannes revolves around its harbor and its stunning views. Synonymous with A-listers and the iconic film festival, Cannes hosts beautiful beaches, boutiques and a trendy night life.
Undoubtedly known for its turquoise blue waters and exquisite beaches, Sardinia’s rugged coastlines offer a private retreat among stunning scenery. The island’s inlands offer just as much beauty, with forested mountains, valleys and Neolithic sites nestled within. Boasting sophistication and medieval charm, Sardinia offers the most iconic take of the Mediterranean island experience.
Naples is a vibrant and chaotic city, full of wonderful historical, artistic treasures and narrow, winding streets. With countless generations of culinary know-how, the city has some of the best cuisine, including Pizza, one of Italy’s most famous foods. With its close proximity to Pompeii and the Bay of Naples, and Capri a mere boat ride away, Naples is a great base for exploring.
Ibiza is surely the renowned home of the most famous DJ residences, spinning tunes until the sun goes down at the legendary clubs. Away from the late-night life though, there is a quiet side to the island. Blessed with sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, alluring coves and exquisite sunsets, Ibiza is a paradise to explore.
