Ok world travellers, where is your goto place? Where is your zen/happy place?

QuantumLeap53

Oh my dayz. Definitely Venice. On the gondolas. Watching other tourists. Love Italy mate. Would go back there in a heartbeat ?

I'd be voting with my feet and going back Mexico. Love cancun vibe. Party on the beach

Chichen Itza too


Andy89

If I can only have one. It has to be Santorini. The blue caldera

Faded Owen

Ooh yeah please ?. Another vote for Santorini

I am not sure the surface reading is the most interesting one here. There is a bit more nuance to it once you sit with it for a while.

There is a lot more to say about this

Amy96

That is my read on it too. Event viewer is your friend on Windows, most people never look at it.

Give it a go and report back

My dream european city destination

I don't know about that. Proper useful that

Scotland keeps pulling me back. There is something about driving through the Highlands when the weather cannot decide what it wants to do. One minute sunshine, the next mist rolling over the hills.

Even a simple walk feels like an adventure. Just remember a waterproof and something for the midges. :)

Japan would be my pick every single time. The food is brilliant, the trains make life easy, and every city has its own personality.

One day you are surrounded by neon lights in Tokyo, the next you are wandering through quiet temples in Kyoto. That contrast is hard to beat.

RandyOrton04

A quiet cottage somewhere in Wales is enough for me. No packed itinerary, no rushing around, just decent scenery and a good book.

Maybe that sounds boring, but after a busy few months it feels like winning the lottery. :D
Here more than I should be

Italy never disappoints. Great food, loads of history and people who seem to understand that sitting in a square with a coffee is a perfectly acceptable way to spend an afternoon.

The only danger is coming home a few kilos heavier.

People rave about tropical beaches, but give me the Norwegian fjords instead. The scenery almost looks unreal, especially on a clear day.

Photos never seem to capture the scale of the place.

ForumGremlin93

New Zealand is still top of my wish list. Every travel programme makes it look like someone accidentally built a country inside a fantasy film set.

One day I will get there, assuming the flight does not make my legs file a formal complaint. ;)

I keep ending up in Spain. Good weather, relaxed atmosphere and plenty of places where you can wander without needing a strict plan.

Sometimes the best holidays are the ones where very little actually happens.
Undefeated, unless you count every practice match

Iceland surprised me more than anywhere else. The waterfalls, volcanic landscapes and hot springs all felt completely different from anywhere I had been before.

Just be prepared for prices that make your wallet wince a bit. :-\

LegendaryLuca49

Not everyone agrees, but city breaks are my favourite. A long weekend exploring museums, trying local food and getting happily lost suits me perfectly.

Beach holidays leave me wondering what to do after the first hour. ::)

QuantumFoam

Canada deserves more love in travel discussions. The national parks are stunning, and there is so much space that everything feels peaceful.

Seeing wildlife in its natural habitat beats any tourist attraction for me.

Portugal has become my happy place. Friendly people, lovely coastline and some fantastic seafood.

It also seems a bit more relaxed than some of the busier tourist hotspots, which is always a bonus. :)
First post best post

Every trip to Greece ends with the same thought: why did I not book a longer stay?

Between the islands, the food and the sunsets, it is very easy to lose track of time. The extra slices of baklava are purely for research, of course. :P
Somewhere between inspired and overwhelmed

EdgeNodeCoder

Nothing wrong with staying close to home either. There are loads of places people ignore because they are always chasing flights abroad.

Sometimes a weekend exploring a nearby town turns out to be more memorable than an expensive holiday.
Be excellent to each other

BinaryMonk91

Switzerland is spectacular if you enjoy mountain views. Every train journey seems to come with another postcard-worthy scene.

The scenery is free. Recovering from the café bill might take a little longer. ;D

Beach holidays are completely wasted on me. Twenty minutes of lying in the sun and I start looking for castles, markets or hiking trails instead.

Friends call it inefficient relaxing. They are probably right. :D

The Netherlands is brilliant for a short break. Renting a bike and exploring at your own pace makes everything feel so much easier.

Just remember which side of the cycle lane you are meant to be on unless you enjoy angry bells. ;)

Wherever there is great local food, that becomes my favourite destination for the week. Travel plans seem to revolve around the next meal more than famous landmarks these days.

No regrets whatsoever. If the suitcase comes home slightly tighter than it left, that is just part of the experience. :)

Amy96

Croatia deserves a mention. The old coastal towns have loads of character and the water is amazingly clear.

It still manages to feel a little more laid back than some of the classic Mediterranean destinations.

Andy81

Favourite place changes depending on the season. Summer calls for the coast, while autumn makes me want somewhere surrounded by forests and walking trails.

Different trips suit different moods, which keeps travelling interesting.

Storm52

Australia would get my vote just for the variety. Beaches, cities, rainforests and the Outback all in one country is pretty impressive.

Just keep an eye out for anything with too many legs. :o
git commit -m "fixed everything"

Ireland always feels welcoming. Good scenery is expected, but the conversations in little pubs are what stick in the memory.

Half the fun is listening to stories from locals while pretending you are only stopping for one drink.

ForgeWarden15

One unexpected favourite was Slovenia. It has lakes, mountains, lovely little towns and never seemed overwhelmingly crowded.

Lake Bled lives up to the photos, which is rarer than people think.
