Nothing quite beats the thrill of bumping into someone famous. Many of us long for the day we will bump into a princess or movie star at the grocery store or be sat beside them during a flight. And while many go to great lengths to protect their privacy, there are places you can visit which will increase your chances of catching a glimpse of a celebrity.

With such a wide range of cultures clustered into one area, Europe is an incredible destination to experience different food and traditions. We may not all speak the same words but we share the same beautiful language of gastronomy. Food has a way of bringing people together no matter their culture, religion, or background.

When you’re travelling with kids, a good kids club can make all the difference. Your chances of a few hours to relax go up exponentially when your kids are happy to head off for a few hours of fun. Some resorts take good kids clubs to the next level.
