Hot European Deals with roomsXML

EUROPE tried and tested for both the novice and experienced traveller. With millions of tourists heading straight for Paris and Amsterdam (for very good reasons), there is a slight changing of the guard with newer tourism hotspots. Relatively new (a few decades is nothing between friends) as a tourism destination, Prague has been kicking goals especially in the last 10 years. 

Initially a convenient Easyjet flight for younger Brits wanting their dollar to stretch further, #Prague (and the Czech Republic as a whole) is now a legitimate destination in its own right. Aptly named the City of Spires, Prague largely remained in tact, while the rest of Europe was hammered with destruction during the war. Stunning architecture, churches, museums, and a burgeoning reputation for modern cuisine, Prague has it all. As for the Old Town Square, you might even see some familiar gothic architecture. 

Another destination coming in to its own in the last 5 or 10 years is #Croatia; more specifically the beautiful town of Dubrovnik. Restaurants, Bars, cafes, copious hotels, and a kind currency conversion make this a place to settle in and enjoy. From the baroque St. Blaise Church to Renaissance Sponza Palace and Gothic Rector’s Palace, now a converted history museum.

Art, culture and the beach all in one place

WITH the third largest amount of UNESCO World Heritage sites, #Spain is a mecca for historical landmarks and cultural tourism. In the south, Cadiz is one of the longest continually settled cities in western civilisation with copious amounts of Roman ruins and elements relating to this period of time.

Spain’s second largest city, Barcelona, is guaranteed to delight. With evidence of the towns existence dating back thousands of years, its markets, restaurants, shops and museums will keep the traveller busy for as much time as they can spare. An extensive and modern transportation system makes it a treat to get from a to b. Tired of art and culture head to the beach; it will be warm for much of the year. 

For something different, head to San Sebastian for the International Film Festival in Basque county, held every year in late September (see the film themed Astoria7 hotel below to immerse yourself in the experience). Other activities include Climbing in Los Mallos, whitewater rafting in Campo, Hiking in Galicia and even downhill skiing in Northern Spain. 

roomsXML has over 6,700 properties in Spain so you'll be sure to find the perfect place to stay.
