Easter Holidays - 10 Places to Visit This Spring

[Taylorcarter]

With just a couple of weeks to go until the biggest chocolate fest of the year, many of us will be spending this weekend searching for that last-minute Easter holiday.

Whether you fancy somewhere hot and sunny, or cold and ski worthy, there are numerous destinations coming to life at this time of year, and so to give you a little bit of inspiration we thought we would share our top 10 ideas for Easter holidays in 2012.

Skiing in Austria

Yes, we are biased, but Austria is just beautiful right now and if you want to combine beautiful scenery and great skiing with even better après skiing, you will struggle to find a better place than the Austrian Alps! The weather is warm and sunny, the slopes are perfect, and as always, the Austrian hospitality is the best in Europe - Willkommen!

City Tour of London

If you fancy a city break in Europe this Easter, head over to good old Blighty and enjoy the sights and sounds of London. A beautiful city that combines old English charm with the modern twists of a multi-cultural society, London is a great city to visit in spring, and a lot less hectic than it will be once the Olympics arrive in July!

Sunshine in Algarve, Portugal

A great time of year to head south in search of sunshine, why not take your Easter holiday in the Algarve this year? Warm, sunny and just a short hop for those of us living in Europe, Portugal is a great destination to visit and we just love Vilamoura in the Algarve.

Beaches of Miami, Florida

If you fancy heading off over the Atlantic, why not treat yourself to a week of fun in Miami where great beaches, warm sunshine and lively nightlife come as standard. A great destination for those who love the US and it is a mere 8-hour flight from London.

Take a Cruise

If you have never taken a cruise before, this Easter could be the perfect opportunity to do so. Taking advantage of the last-minute deals, you can cruise the Mediterranean, the Caribbean or even the Pacific Ocean - the world, as they say, is your oyster!

Safari in South Africa

Taking a safari in South Africa is one of the best experiences of my life to date, and it costs far less than neighbouring Botswana. With daily flights to Cape Town or Johannesburg you can be in the Kruger Park in no time, or for a Malaria free safari you can head on down to the Eastern Cape, a mere hop from Cape Town.

Wine Tasting in Australia

It may be a long way to go for an Easter break, but Australia is a great place to visit at any time of the year, and if you enjoy New World Wines, you will love the Yarra Valley close to Melbourne or Margaret River south of Perth. Combining beautiful scenery, with stunning vineyards and great wines, Australia is well worth the journey.
