Party Cities of the World

It's Summer holiday season but all you're looking for is somewhere you can get your groove on and enjoy the atmosphere of a great city whilst enjoying some of the World's best night-life. 


This quick list offers you a glance at the most happening of cities for giving you a guide for the perfect, once-in-a-lifetime party night out.


Bangkok
OK, so the flight in itself is around 12 hours, but once there, you will discover one of the greatest parties on Earth. The best place to really immerse yourself in Bangkok's party is on Khao San Road – THE place for meeting fellow world travellers and backpackers. Street entertainments fill the street and locals pedal there wares as you stroll around the hundreds of bars and clubs appealing to inhabitants from around the globe. Once the party is over, take the time to immerse yourself in the Thai way of life by visiting Bangkok's huge floating market or The Grand Palace where you may even catch a glimpse of the King.

Budapest

For somewhere a little different, why not try the Hungarian capital of Budapest? Budapest's many clubs attract a cosmopolitan mixture of world-famous DJs that have party-goers flocking back year after year. If you're a gambler, you will love the strip of casinos along the Danube river- perfect for winning back money spent in the one of the many nightclubs!


Las Vegas

The city that never sleeps provides you with a brash, bold vision of the American dream that should be tasted at least once in a lifetime; so what better place to have one of the greatest parties of your life? There are so many ways of spending your money here – all of which involve having fun. You could spend hundreds playing in the casinos and partying the night away, then in your downtime you could visit the nearby Nevada desert and Grand Canyon for a whole range of activities and sights that are perhaps unrivalled by any other North American city.


Dublin
Visit Dublin for a party containing lashings of the black stuff. During that day the streets are filled with customary Irish friendliness, when night arrives this is amped up to the maximum with everyone looking to get in on the partying. Traditional Irish taverns are open throughout the night and during the day you can suck in Dublin's atmosphere with visits to the Guinness factory and the city's imposing castle.


Flying to your ultimate party is the next step so head to a reputable flight and holiday provider to book your tickets NOW!

Pick the perfect city-break this Wedding season!

Yes! Wedding season is upon us once again.

This doesn't just mean Wedding Crasher esque hedonistic get togethers, family-fallouts and dream-like ceremonies, it also presents the chance for once-in-a-lifetime getaways and vacations that are heightened by thoughts of eternal bliss for newlyweds with their perfect soul mate (or something like that)

In this rundown of honeymooning options we present you with the best city choices where activities are plentiful yet travelling whilst there is minimal.....romance is optional

Las Vegas
The city that never sleeps provides you with a brash, bold vision of the American dream that should be tasted at least once in a lifetime; so who better to visit with than your new Husband or Wife? Hotel rooms are lavished with over-the-top décor and jacuzzis that have been set into the floor, presenting you with the ultimate in hotel room indulgence. Nearby you have the Nevada desert and the Grand Canyon providing you with a whole range of activities and sites that are perhaps unrivalled by any other North American city.

Paris
The most obvious choice on this list but for good reason. You can visit some of the most iconic romantic sites in the world, such as the Eiffel Tower and the Arc De Triomphe. You can bask in Paris' in-built romanticism as you stroll down the side-streets surrounding the Eiffel tower, stopping in one of the slick cafés for a spot of afternoon coffee. Paris really does have the affect of making you feel like a classical film star and as you head out for fine-dining Parisian style, you really will feel like you're living the lives of millionaire starlets.

Venice
The tiny Italian city offers the quintessential romantic trip in Europe. So small that it can be traversed on foot with minimum effort. The city's other major draw is the myriad of marvellous canals and the world-famous gondola trips, presenting you with a clichéd yet undeniably romantic jaunt along Venice's waterways. Once you've conquered the canals, take to the streets for picturesque walks and the Piazza San Marco where the grandeur of the Basilica di San Marco awaits.

Holiday Hardship: 1 Pound to 1 Euro

With the Euro currently matching the Pound almost 1 for 1 in the exchange rate, holidays in Euro zone have never offered such scant value.


Just five years ago the pound was riding high in the currency exchange market with one pound able to buy €1.5. At present the pound is worth around €1.12. This marks a dip in the value of the pound of around 25%.
The recession of 2008 could be largely attributed to this weakness in value. During the recession the pound saw significant losses, but much of Europe was experiencing similar economic turmoil so holiday makers were not affected significantly.


The aftermath of the recession has really hit the pound hardest.With Britain's close economic links with America, the knock-on effect of America's disastrous approach to the credit crunch saw the pound struggle further whilst the Euro began to strengthen. The Euro bank also took a hard-line approach to inflation. Whilst the British banks cut interest rates drastically to encourage spending and boost the economy, the European central bank refused such measures, leading to a quicker recovery.


So, post-recession the pound may not be in as bad shape as the Dollar, but it lags behind the far superior Euro.


For holiday-makers, the struggling Pound does have its plus points.It represents fantastic value for tourists from Europe who can experience savings of around 20%. This also means that holidays at home are perhaps the best choice for Brits themselves wishing to save a few pounds; and lets face it, our economy needs all the help it can get at the moment and what better way than exploring some of Britain's best holiday spots.
