Top destinations from London Stansted Airport
Which of these stunning destinations will you discover this year?
Athens
A visit to this bustling Greek metropolis is a must-see to explore the sophisticated modern Athenian city. In addition to a vibrant street life and stylish, boutique fashion culture, Athens has banished all cars from its historic centre to create a stunning pedestrian promenade; where visitors can stroll in the moonlight at leisure to enjoy the ancient architecture and majesty of this awe-inspiring cultural hotspot.
Barcelona
Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the world's most dynamic and stylish cities, with buildings and art to die for. It's party time in summer, in the centre and on the nearby Catalan coast, but the city fizzes all year round to the beat of cutting-edge food, fashion, style, music and good vibes. Go and you might never want to leave.
Bordeaux
Nestled in the sun-drenched banks of the river Garonne, Bordeaux is a city built on a combination of fine dining and even finer wines. Rich vineyards spread as far as the eye can see in the surrounding countryside, creating a rustic image that wouldn’t be out of place a couple of centuries back. With so much to offer, it’s easy to see why people flock to the city every year.
Budapest
This awe-inspiring Imperial-era capital has it all... monuments and public buildings to inspire, parks to relax in, a wide river to cool off by... and a pulsating nightlife to rival anything the old 'west' can offer. Visit Budapest and discover not one but two cities with culture and civility at their core.
Dubai
Its breakneck speed has taken the world by storm. Today, the ever-evolving Emirate boasts one third of all the world’s cranes in a space the size of a small British city. Dubai has audacity, modernity and quality in equal measure... and although the building work won’t be finished for decades, it’s a spectacular global crossroads.
Ibiza
Take a trip to a Balearic Island that offers huge contrasts. Whether your trip is to be relaxed and peaceful or filled with non-stop partying, you can reach this popular destination in two and a half hours when you directly fly from Manchester to Ibiza.
Lisbon
Lisbon doesn’t need to work too hard to advertise its many charms. With ancient, cobbled alleys, whitewashed townhouses, rustic cuisine and an easy-going reputation, Lisbon is a place to come and lose yourself (and treat yourself) for a long, long, long weekend.
Marrakech
The ‘Red City’ of Marrakech is a fascinating urban hub that mixes ancient ritual with modern high density living. Morocco’s third largest city is now home to a million people – and it shows. Go, expect crowds everywhere, new scents and sensations, a visual feast, over-the-top shopping... and get set for some serious haggling!
Newquay
Head to Newquay on the North Atlantic coast of Cornwall and you’re likely to encounter surfers and water sport enthusiasts, as the town’s population swells to 100,000 in summer. Drawn by ten long sandy beaches (and a healthy tourist economy to go with it) the town has reinvented itself in recent years – with a lively nightlife and decent eateries to boot.
Venice
Exuding old world exoticism, the aqua themed Venice will captivate all comers in its majestic portrayal of Italian culture from a city which gave the world the legendary merchant traveller Marco Polo.The sheer concept of Venice - a city with canals instead of roads - is brilliant enough without the magic of the architecture, the music, the hotels and a carnival unlike any other. No wonder, then, that lovers of this magical place come back time and again.
