Going away on a break to Europe with your friends is an excellent way to relax and spend quality time together. You can see some amazing sights while having a great gossip. However, vacating in a big group can get stressful if it’s not arranged correctly. Here’s your checklist to ensure all goes to plan when vacating with friends to Europe.
Choose a city you will all love such as Paris or Venice One thing you need to know to ensure your trip with friends goes to plan when you are vacating in Europe is to make sure you all agree on somewhere to go. There are so many beautiful cities in Europe that you will want to go to. It’s best to do some research together to find out which one you would all like to go to. You may decide to do a part beach, part sightseeing trip, so you get to make the most of your trip. For example, you may want to stay in Jesolo and then have a day or two in Venice. That way, you can all chill out on the beach before heading to see all the beautiful sights in Venice.
Stay in a villa together on islands such as Santorini or Corfu Another thing on your checklist when sorting out your vacation with friends to Europe is you need to find somewhere great to stay. You should choose an island with great beaches such as Santorini or Corfu in Greece. They both offer stunning beaches and plenty to do and see. Staying in a villa means you can all split the cost, so it’s a lot cheaper for you all than staying in hotels. It also means you can all spend time together before heading back to your separate rooms in the villa. You can find villas in different countries in Europe such as Villas in Santorini that you and your friends will love to stay in.
Consider hiring a car or traveling around Europe by rail You should also consider hiring a car when you are organizing a vacation with friends in Europe. You can then all go in one vehicle to get around the area. You could then take it in turns to drive when you are heading out. Having a car means you can easily move from one area to the next if you want to visit some other stunning areas. You could also look into traveling by rail. You can often get discounts if you travel in large groups. Check out our previous blog where we talked about traveling by Rail Europe.
Book trips before you go for discounts Another thing you should do when you are sorting out your vacation to Europe with your friends is to look into booking trips before you go. You can often save a lot of money if you book in advance as the best deals are online. You will also save money by booking in such a large group. Therefore, talk to the others about what you want to book before you get to your destination.
Make sure you have plenty of euros with you so you can enjoy your trip. Consider all putting some money in so that you can enjoy meals and drinks without having to keep splitting the bill!
