\nWhether you\u2019re travelling as a couple or with the family, it\u2019s understandable that a routine summer holiday can often be uninspired and potentially boring, with you opting to travel to the same place over and over. Break the cycle and consider the many other destinations on offer \u2013 from city breaks to luxurious beach escapes, here\u2019s just six alternatives to the typical summer holiday.
\n <\/p>\n

A city escape in New York<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ditch the beach and explore the concrete jungle, instead. New York City is indisputably one of, if not the best city in the entire world \u2013 the possibilities here are endless, the wondrous architecture and vibrant culture making for one of the most unique experiences you\u2019ll likely ever have. And although some may presume it\u2019s a location best suited to couples or solo travellers, it\u2019s just as perfect for the little ones. From the bright lights of Times Square to the sprawling scale of Central Park, the kids will be overcome with sheer awe and wonder around every corner. Be sure to check out one of New York City\u2019s museums too, before heading to a Broadway theatre to catch a world-renowned show.

Laying on the beach\u2026 in Thailand<\/h1>\n

A beach holiday may be considered the norm when it comes to a summer trip, so why not take it to the next level? Thailand has some of the world\u2019s very best beaches, from the renowned beach town of Krabi<\/a> to the luxurious sandy shores of Phuket \u2013 bring your family along to experience the sheer splendour of this beautiful country.<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re here, be sure to do a spot of island hopping.

Depending on what you and your family want, this will be a beach holiday like no other.

Road tripping in New Zealand<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve always wanted to embark on a family road trip, New Zealand is the place to do it. No country can compare in terms of natural beauty \u2013 from Rotorua to Lake Wanaka, there\u2019s so many places to discover here that you\u2019ll have a hard time planning a route that doesn\u2019t include the entirety of the country.<\/p>\n

Consider hiring a campervan and hitting the roads<\/a>, as you\u2019ll then be able to pitch up practically anywhere. Audley\u2019s New Zealand specialist suggests places such as Orewa to pitch up and explore the surroundings. From mountains to waterfalls, islands to cities, New Zealand truly has it all \u2013 and it\u2019s down to you to discover it.
\n <\/p>\n

Safaris in India<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You may not have been aware of India\u2019s safari opportunities, but they\u2019re plentiful and rewarding \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s the only country in the world where you\u2019ll see tigers and lions co-existing in the wild.<\/p>\n

Visit parks such as Ranthambore and Bandhavgarh to discover the best safari opportunities perhaps in the world. From the aforementioned tigers and lions to rhinos, giraffes and even elephants \u2013 which you can often clean and ride in many different places \u2013 you\u2019ll have just as much unadulterated fun as the little ones.
\n <\/p>\n

Exploring England<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Why not stay at home and embark on an adventure? Despite being overlooked by many in favour of going abroad, England has so much to offer \u2013 from the sights of London to the rambling hills of the Peak District, there\u2019s a diverse range of potential destinations to consider.<\/p>\n

The latter location is perfect for the active family, looking for adventure from their holiday as opposed to relaxation. From climbing to the summit of Kinder Scout<\/a> to meandering through the fields amongst the district\u2019s wildlife, this is a destination many unfairly overlook.
\n <\/p>\n

Historical fun in Rome<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For an educational family holiday \u2013 which may not sound appealing \u2013 head to Rome. This Italian city, despite its recent status of romance, remains full to the brim with historical value. From Vatican City to the Colosseum, the renowned sights of Rome are some of the best in the world.<\/p>\n

Your little ones will likely be awestruck by just how wondrous and majestic the relics and ancient buildings are here. The Sistine Chapel is one such place of significance, being the official residence of the Pope. Be sure to look up once you\u2019re inside \u2013 the ceiling really is a feat of engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
