Culture
Roughly a two hour flight and a short taxi ride from the UK lies the centre of Palma, an underrated weekend break destination that is definitely worth a visit. From culture, history and shopping, to a picturesque waterfront and fantastic food, Palma really does have it all. The current place to stay is the Scandinavian owned Hotel...

Paris is always a great idea. Not only because of the freshly baked buttery croissants but because of the endless art exhibitions that enlighten the city.
