Travel inspiration: coastlines and city breaks

Three ideas for a change of scenery. Start with how you want to spend your days, then choose the journey and a base that fit.

ITALY

Salerno or Amalfi: where to stay without a car

Choose one base and leave room for unhurried days. Before booking, check how you will get from your arrival airport to the accommodation and how you will reach other places along the coast.

A sea view does not tell you how easy a property is to reach. Ask about steps, steep streets and luggage access. If you plan to use ferries or buses, check the operator’s schedule for your actual travel dates instead of assuming a summer timetable applies year-round.

Compare a central room with a cheaper stay farther away by adding the transport you would need each day. A rental car is worth considering only after checking parking, access and the trips you actually want to make.

SPAIN

Mallorca without a car: where to stay & what to check

Start by choosing the kind of holiday you want: a beach base, time in the city or days exploring different parts of the island. That decision is more useful than picking a hotel solely from its photos.

For a beach-focused stay, check the actual walking route and whether the approach suits your group. For a city stay, compare walking distances and public transport. Ask about noise and room position if quiet evenings matter to you.

If renting a car, include parking and pickup time in your budget. A few rental days may suit your plans better than a car for the whole holiday. Check seasonal opening times for any attractions you build your itinerary around.

DENMARK

2 or 3 days in Copenhagen: itinerary & travel costs

For a short break, compare how much usable time each flight gives you. A lower fare may be less attractive if you arrive late and leave early. Match your arrival with check-in and ask about luggage storage.

Choose a base around the places you want to walk to, then check the airport connection. Keep a few indoor alternatives in your plan and leave space for neighbourhood walks rather than filling every hour with reservations.

Before buying a sightseeing or transport pass, add up the admissions and journeys you will actually use. Check current opening hours and booking requirements directly with each attraction.
