Whilst holidays are on the table again, many are reluctant to travel until mandatory quarantine periods have been lifted for holidaymakers returning from some of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations.

But even for those who are waiting until the time is right, it’s never too soon to start planning your perfect travel adventure, and that’s just what many Norfolk nomads are doing right now.

Norfolk has three easily accessible airports for travellers to catch direct and connecting flights – Norwich, London Stansted and London Luton. This list features three dreamy destinations flying from these airports that promise you the trip of a lifetime.   

1. Lapland

Take an unforgettable family holiday to the ‘real life North Pole’. Filled with excited youngsters hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa and his reindeer, this special adventure will create family memories to be treasured.

Between November and April, it’s also a hotspot for star-gazers – on clear nights in these winter and spring months, you can see the Northern Lights.

But trips to this festive location don’t come cheap, and if you’re looking to keep the cost down, you can arrange day trips from Norwich airport.

It goes without saying that December is the best time to visit, but no matter when you travel, you won’t be disappointed by this magical destination.

2. Portugal

This understated destination is one of the top European holiday spots, and is perfect for any holiday, whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a family escape.

Amongst its merits are its sunny weather, stunning seascapes and divine dishes which keep many travellers returning year upon year.

And it’s not just a popular holiday location either. In fact, many British travellers have permanently re-located to some of Portugal’s major cities like Lisbon and Porto thanks to the country’s citizenship by investment scheme.

The Golden Visa in Portugal is not the only scheme of its kind, but it is one of the best and most accessible in the world, with real estate gurus like Property Lisbon helping international investors to find their perfect match on the housing market.

Perfect if you decide that you never want to leave!  

3. Cyprus

Flying from London Stansted, Cyprus is a classic beachside retreat for many holidaymakers, and its easy to see why.

Brimming with culture and history, this beloved location is filled with fun activities for the whole family, as well as a few surprises.

The Fairy Tale Museum is based in an old mansion in Nicosia and is a great place to learn about the myths, legends and stories that originated in Cyprus, and is an entertaining afternoon for all ages.

In the meantime?

Until we’re able to travel freely again, why not consider a staycation? The UK has some great destinations for a day trip or weekend escape – capital cities London, Cardiff and Edinburgh are action packed for a prime getaway.

We hope this list inspires your next travel adventure – whenever it may be!
