Questions to ask yourself before you go 

To decide which destination to choose, it will first be necessary to take stock of the type of holiday desired.

If you are going as a family with young children, cultural visits such as museums should not be too numerous.

If you have the soul of a sportsman, you will probably have to go to the great outdoors.

You will then have to set a budget and then compare the offers among the destinations that you like the most.

Another important element: the climate.

It is essential to check that the weather will be adapted according to the chosen period, avoiding, for example, the rainy season.
