Florida is the ideal holiday destination. It has hospitable local people, white sandy beaches and interesting cultural attractions. With so many sights and activities to enjoy on holidays to Florida, the only difficult part is choosing what to do! There are a huge range of packages available for all tastes and budgets, with some great bargains on cheap holidays to be had!
With a number of cheap flights going to Florida, there is no reason to neglect to visit one of the city’s theme parks. Disneyland isn’t for those looking for hair-raising rides, but it is great for families with young children, who’ll love the parades and fireworks in the park. Harry Potter fans will love the newly-opened Harry Potter’s World of Wizarding theme park at Universal Studios. Here you’ll see Hogwarts castle and Hogsmeade village recreated to exact detail.
Drive down to Fort Myers to enjoy a relaxing beach holiday with a difference. Here you can stroll down the white beaches, relax by the pool or watch one of the spectacular sunsets. If you’re looking for something a little different, book a guided trip of the Everglades to see the local nature or catch a glimpse of the Boston Red Sox baseball team training at Palm Springs.
If you’re looking for somewhere with a lively nightlife and vibrant culture, drive down to Miami. All over Miami you’ll see the influence of Latin America, on its restaurants, culture and bars. To check out some of this Latin culture, listen to a live band, dance at a salsa bar or wander through an authentic cigar factory. If you’re looking for culture, you won’t be disappointed in Miami. The city has 50 art galleries concentrated into a 10 block area, only 20 minutes drive from South Beach. Here you can find the Rubell Family Collection, which is the American equivalent to the Saatchi gallery.
There is so much to do and see in Florida apart from the theme parks. So spend your holidays in Florida exploring beyond Orlando to have a truly unforgettable time.

Relaxing on the beach and letting the cares of daily life drift away is a top pastime for holiday-makers, but it’s often confined to the tourist-heavy peak seasons. If you’re looking to get away from the crowds and save yourself a bit of money, out-of-season holidaying could be the perfect solution. You don’t have to trek half way across the globe either. There’s an appealing variety of year-round destinations much closer to home and some great hotel deals to be had as well.
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are an ideal year-round destination. The climate is warm and dry for most of the year and with so many islands to choose from, you’re bound to find your perfect partner. Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote are the most popular islands and all boast stunning coastlines and varying degrees of action and adventure. The concept of peak season has been slightly distorted here as the islands enjoy great weather and temperatures over 20°C almost all year round. November to mid-December and April to June – avoiding Easter – are good times to enjoy fewer crowds and cheap Canaries hotels. One bedroom bungalows can be found on Fuerteventura at the moment for as little as £10 per person per night during mid-November.
Cyprus
Cyprus is a good early spring option thanks to its favourable Mediterranean climate. Peak season runs from June to September, so avoid these months to experience the slightly quieter side of this popular isle. Visit in April and May and you can enjoy average maximum temperatures of 22°C and 26°C respectively while you laze on the beach, explore historic sites or indulge in some of the country’s delicious cuisine. Temperatures then remain high throughout the summer and into October and November, but heavier rainfall makes these autumn months less appealing. In mid-April, prices for Cyprus hotels in the Paphos area go as low as £14 per person per night.
Egypt
For something a bit different, head to Egypt and prepare to explore the exotic land of the Pharaohs. There are a multitude of attractions both above and below sea level making a visit definitely worthwhile. To avoid the crowds, stay away during the peak season months between October and May and instead visit in June or September. During these months temperatures are regularly over 30°C, though, so you are advised to take it easy. The great Egypt hotels deals available should help take the edge of the heat; hotels in Cairo can be booked for a little as £11 per person per night for a seven night stay in mid-September.
