The Five Best Ideas For Fun Packed Activity Holidays You Can Do Without Leaving the European Union
Travel within the EU these days is so easy, with no need for visas, the same currency in most countries, and cheap air fares thanks to all of those budget airlines, planning and setting off on a holiday in the EU has never been more simple, or more fun. From a horse riding holiday to a ski trip or scuba diving, there are all kinds of great activity holidays you can do within the EU too - here we look at five of the best and most popular ideas:
Skiing
If you aren't particularly bothered about tanning or sunbathing on the beach, then a winter snow holiday can be a great fun way to spend your holiday time. Whether you choose Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy or Scandinavia, there are beautiful mountains and slopes to suit all abilities within easy reach of all major UK airports.
Horse Riding
A horse riding holiday allows you to get back to nature and experience the beauty of your destination's surroundings. While good weather is a plus, so the summer months are the best time to go, there are almost no limits to which EU country you want to explore with riding schools everywhere.
Scuba Diving
While diving is usually associated with exotic locations, and if you want crystal clear waters and beautiful fish you are best off looking for a warm water, Mediterranean destination like Cyprus, or the Greek or Spanish islands, you can dive just about anywhere that has sea, lakes, quarries or rivers. Diving school operate all over the place, and whether you want to spend your holiday getting your full license or just want to do a one day supervised dive to get a taste, this is a holiday activity you'll love. Do bear in mind it isn't suitable for children under the age of thirteen, however.
Cycling
Cycling is obviously possible everywhere, but some countries like the Netherlands really embrace cycling and make it easy for cyclists to get around - in many ways, it is easier to explore Hollands towns and cities on a bike than it is by car or public transport! With its flat landscape you also know the ride won't be too demanding, either.
Hiking
Walking is of course, easy and free, however you can go on planned walking tours around cities or in certain beautiful rural areas that can give you an educational and relaxing experience as well as great exercise.
