Every traveller has a travel style! Some travellers feel invigorated by the hustle and bustle of a city, while others experience their greatest sense of freedom among palm trees and waves. So, what holiday style suits you? In this travel blog, we will break down the City vs. Nature Travel Style and highlight beautiful travel destinations for those who love the city and for those who love nature.
Some people dream of travelling to amazing cities with dizzying architectural beauty like Rome and Barcelona, while others want to lie on stunning sunny beaches of Fuerteventura and the Caribbean. Whatever your soul desires, this travel blog will inspire you to plan your next amazing holiday.
City Lovers: The Heart of a City is Alive with Culture and History.
City holidays appeal to travellers with boundless energy who savour every cultural, gastronomic, and sensory experience that presents itself them- human experiences in diverse communities. If you enjoy visiting museums, shopping, and seeing old historic architecture, then a City holiday style might be your travel style.
Rome: Where History Comes Alive
An 8 night visit to Rome is 8 days in an open air museum. Including accommodations, coach, transfers, and tours, this is not just a city break. It is a historical journey.
From the Colosseum to Vatican City, and charming cafes to fashion shops, Rome is a seamless blend of ancient heritage, intertwined with modern living, and watercolours of layered culture lurking around every corner for everyone from history buffs to art lovers.
Barcelona: Artistry and City Life
Barcelona is an intertwining of beach culture, urban culture, and nightlife. Popular destinations including the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and La Rambla are a traveller’s dream, jam packed with enough life to satisfy the most passionate city lover.
Along with the coach and included tours, Barcelona offers an unmatched rhythm of life and an abundance of tapas — the perfect city for those who love energetic street scenes!
Venice: Love by Water
If you are keen on slow cities, and visual beauty, Venice is a great option. It offers gondola rides on peaceful canals, and is the quintessential romantic urban escape.
With 8 nights of accommodation and excursions available, Venice offers the best of both worlds for culture lovers and romantics.
For Naturalists: Peace of Mind and Nature Adventure
Natural getaways allow an opportunity to reset and reconnect. These types of trips provide an opportunity for anyone looking to unwind, breathe in fresh air, and take in some beautiful scenery. Let’s take a look at some options for anyone that hears the siren call of nature.
Caribbean? North America?: Tropical getaways, reimagined.
7 nights in the Caribbean, and North America, for flights, accommodation, transfers, and excursions — an essentially all-inclusive tropical trip.
The Caribbean is the sun-seeker and snorkelers’ tropical paradise! Turquoise water, sandy beaches, and the laid-back Caribbean culture is perfect for those that want to be in the sun. Whether you sway to the rhythm of reggae or palm trees, tropical getaways are synonymous with paradise.
Tenerife: A Volcanic Island.
7-night nature getaways with flights, accommodation, excursions. This island gets you into nature, with its volcanic landscapes and exotic plants, as well as great beaches if you enjoy lying on a beach.
When not enjoying a beach day at Playa de las Américas, you can hike Mount Teide, the highest point in Spain, or explore the island’s vibrant marine life.
Lanzarote: Wild beauty and peace
You could easily take a 7-night holiday to Lanzarote which offers a smaller, quieter and equally amazing volcanic island. The surreal surroundings of the lava landscape and white-washed villages make for a lovely antidote to the intensity of city life.
Combined experiences: Both worlds
Not everyone wants or fits into one category of traveller. Some people, perhaps purely for practical reasons, will be seeking a combination of experiences and enjoy the vitality and input of a city with the beauty of the natural world. Here are a few options.
Dubai: Urban luxury meets desert dreamland
If you want the ultimate hybrid holiday, Dubai brings luxury urban skyscrapers and golden sand dunes together. Make space for shopping malls, marina cruising, desert excursions, and plenty of choices to eat.
Costa Brava: Coastal gems with urban options
Costa Brava is a brilliant mix of wild coastline and idyllic towns of Spain. You can chose between sandy beach comfort or browsing local markets and seeing architectural spectacles.
Cyprus: History and geography served together
Cyprus certainly gives you the two-for-one opportunity of history rolled into cultural and the natural world. Spend some time wandering an archaeological marvel before dipping a toe or two into the Mediterranean.
Costa Del Sol: Wall to wall sunshine and culturally rich
A 7 night break to Costa Del Sol will provide wall to wall sun and quite a bit of culture or charm. You can just do a walking tour of various historical sites and then spend time relaxing beach side or at an all-inclusive resort.
Making The Choice: City Or Nature?
In the end, your choice between city lights and nature comes down to personal preference. Do you love to visit museums and thrive on the movement of a busy city? Or are you more in your element with palm trees and toes in the sand?
Consider your responses to these questions:
Do you enjoy gallery hopping or hiking trails?
Do you prefer to eat at a rooftop restaurant or have a picnic by the seaside?
Do you find your energy from people or solitude?
Answering these questions honestly will help you choose your travel style.
