A weekend away lets you recharge, experience a mini-adventure, and spend quality time together. Start planning your weekend getaway now:
Planning
Everyone’s “ideal” weekend is different. It depends on your interests, desired destination, and the season. Plan out your vacation. Action or chill? Faraway or nearby? Trains, planes, taxis, or cars? City or country? Choosing the right destination depends on the type of trip you want.
What’s Your Budget?
Set a budget before choosing a weekend break. Travel, housing, and spending money needs vary greatly by place, so settling on a budget will help you narrow down options. Bigger isn’t always better. A city break within a few hours of a home might be a great weekend getaway on a budget.
Choosing Your Destination
Depending on your destination, this could be the easiest or hardest step. If you want to visit a specific city or attraction, skip the planning stage. Pick a type of vacation (city, rural, ocean, theme park, etc.) and study possible destinations. If you’re flying, start with your local airport. The ultimate weekend getaway isn’t only about where you go, but also what you do there. You may find a cheap motel but nothing to do nearby. For a great weekend getaway, balance location and activities.
When To Go
When you have time off and money to spend is the obvious solution. Holiday weekends are busier and more expensive than others, and certain destinations are different depending on the season. If you can avoid school and holiday breaks, do so. Cheaper and less congested travel is probable.
Research Your Destination
After deciding where to go and how to get there, it’s time to research. Do your homework now to benefit later. First, study the best places to stay (areas, hotels, apartments, etc.) and nearby transportation. Pedestrian-friendly? A terrific hotel price won’t seem so great if it’s not convenient and you spend a bundle on taxis or Ubers. Next, include your must-sees and must-dos. Make a list of must-do items and optional extras. You can also research restaurants, cafes, and pubs. Research parks, beaches, walks, and other free activities.
Book In Advance
Even though you like to be flexible and spontaneous when traveling, you don’t want to waste a weekend choosing a place to stay. Staying in one area for the whole weekend will make your weekend more pleasant. Moving reduces fun. Depending on your destination, you can avoid hotels. Cottages, guesthouses, and campsites are ideal options for rural or seaside travel. Airbnb is offered almost everywhere.
What Are Your Daily Plans?
With only a few days, a general strategy for each day will help you maximize your time. If you have a list of activities, trips, restaurants, and attractions, this should be straightforward. Consider opening/closing timings and travel time. If your plans depend on the weather, check the forecast the day before you travel.
