One of the oldest cities in the world, Lisbon is a modern metropolis filled with a rich history, impressive monuments, quaint curiosities and a diverse architecture. Take a look 
We can write about how great Barcelona and its attractions are, but why not just take a peak for yourself:
La Sagrada Familia
Wow springs to mind when you take a tour around this fantastically designed building. Construction first started in 1882 and can you believe they are still trying to finish it!
You don’t have to be a poet junkie to have heard of Robert Burns. Born in Scotland on the 25th January 1759 and dying on the 21st July 1796, he has been dubbed Scotland’s favourite son. Each year the Scottish, along with other nationalities worldwide, spend the evening of the 25th January to celebrate his works.
Throughout the evening’s festivities, you can expect to see lots of men in kilts, listen to various Robert Burn’s poems and taste the famous haggis dish. And let’s not forget the whiskey; it wouldn’t be a Scottish celebration without it!
Interesting fact: did you know that Robert Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne?
If you wish to join in with the celebrations in Scotland, you can arrange an Edinburgh car hire online, or perhaps you want to celebrate in another city? Check out our great UK car hire rates and list of car hire destinations.
The most immediate effect of the sinking of the Costa Concordia was throwing cruise companies everywhere into a panic, fearing there would be a decline in business. And while we understand that people may be a bit more wary of going on boats for a short while, it’s important to point out that while accidents do happen, those are an exception rather than the rule.
Having said that, there are several sea accidents that by their scope or the mystery involving the circumstance in which they happened, have made their way into popular imagination.
Here are the five that made our list!
Is it too early to start talking about Christmas? No we don’t think it is either; let’s all get in the festive spirit! A great way to do that is by planning a trip to some of Europe’s finest Christmas Markets.
When we think of Christmas Markets one place in particular springs to mind; Germany, and that is because the tradition that sees tourist flock to the German cities originated in the Late Middle Ages in the German speaking parts of Europe. During the four weeks of Advent, streets are turned into Christmas Market wonderlands with hand crafted trinkets and locally produced food and drink; all designed to keep you warm through the Christmas period.
It’s the spookiest date on our calendar: 31st October, when the kids dress up as skeletons and witches to go Trick or Treating, pumpkin sales go through the roof, and the TV channels are filled with re-runs of classic scary movies. But do any of us really know what Halloween is all about?
Are you a suspicious person? Will you walk under a ladder or let a black cat cross your path, or more to the point would you drive along some of the world’s spookiest roads on the spookiest date of the year, Halloween?
Here is our pick of the most haunted roads that are only to be driven by the brave:
With the half-term break approaching, it would be a great idea to take the kids out for a more different holiday! Maybe the summer wasn’t as kind to you as it should have been, maybe you weren’t able to offer your family the vacation they deserved so this, my friend, is the right time to do it.
Unlike the high peak season, the Autumn months let you enjoy amazing destinations at a much affordable price, without being cheap on the experience. For instance, why not book a car hire in Turkey to help during this one-week travel? You can stay put in one place, sure, but this country has plenty more to discover so you might as well make the most of it!
The Emerald Isle has always been famous for its stunning scenery which matches the calm of the lush countryside with the dramatic coastal sea cliffs; but did you know that Ireland also has its fair share of tasty vineyards?
