Maybe you feel you need to be more adventurous and finally go to Cannes this year? If so, you are not being adventurous enough. Also, these destinations stated above, can be very overrated and overcrowded in the peak season, when tourists from all the way to China and Brazil are flocking to the beaches, and hiking up the prices of the hotel rooms. You don\u2019t want that. You want relaxation and a quieter place to appreciate the love you have for your family, without having the feeling that you are being swindled of your money.

A hidden rival, the city of Ghent, is equally beautiful and perhaps can offer a better Belgian experience. The city\u2019s core attraction is the medieval architecture of the castle and cathedrals. Ghent has the largest car-free area in Belgium, so you don\u2019t have to worry about your children crossing the street, or breathing in the toxic air on your vacation. There are the best museums in fine arts, exhibiting the paintings of the Flemish masters. The food is out of this world! There is an array of restaurants and cafes that dish out Belgian culinary masterpieces, one after another. Don\u2019t forget to taste the red beer- the Rodenbach and eat the Belgian Waffles at Caf\u00e9 Max, in service since 1839.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/travel-news\/10-best-places-to-visit-in-2018-leasuretravel-all-included.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a010 best places to visit in 2018 (Leisure+Travel) All included<\/a><\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"germany\"><\/span>Germany<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Germany.jpg\" alt=\"Germany as a tourist highlight\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Germany.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Germany-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Germany-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Germany-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/><\/h1>\n<p>Germany does not come to mind, as quickly as other places in Western Europe, as <em>the<\/em> destination for some TLC. We also thought so but were pleasantly surprised. The greatest thing about Germany is that things run smoothly and efficiently there. Many times when people go for vacations, they come back tired and even more stressed. In Germany, the trains will come on time, the ferries will not blow their engines, and you will not be promised something that the facilities cannot deliver. We have felt that the services in the country will charge equally for all and that builds a trust. Moreover, the country is gorgeous, especially if you are on a river cruise, which touches the different small towns surrounded by pastures and forests like Koblenz, Regensburg, and Passau. The variety that the country offers, from the museums of Frankfurt to the nightlife in Berlin\u2026 it\u2019s breathtaking.<\/p>\n<p>Also, Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/travel-insight\/things-to-do-and-tops-sights-to-visit-in-sydney.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Things to do and Tops Sights to Visit in Sydney<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kanazawa_japan\"><\/span>Kanazawa, Japan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36642\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kanazawa.jpg\" alt=\"Kazazawa Japan\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kanazawa.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kanazawa-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kanazawa-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kanazawa-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two extremes in Japan: The extreme of the flamboyant Harajuku fashion and culture and then the muted traditional Japanese culture. Why can\u2019t there be a pleasant mix? Kanazawa offers this delicate mix and has a combination of the futuristic techno culture fully reconciled with the Japanese traditions. The new bullet train station of the city that connects the city with Tokyo is a perfect example. The structure looks a lot like the <em>Torri<\/em> (Japanese temple gates) but with an ultramodern touch. On a perfect day, the cherry blossoms fall from the trees, gliding on the breeze, gently settling on a moving creek in the Kanazawa Castle Park. The love of the Japanese people for nature cannot be more elaborate at the Kenrokuen Japanese Garden. Really, one is stunned at the amount of effort, the detail and thought process required to manicure this perfect scenery. Do experience the tea services and sushi at the Higashi Chayagai in Kanazawa.<\/p>\n<h1><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"western_australia\"><\/span>Western Australia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<h1><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36643\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Western-Australia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Western-Australia.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Western-Australia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Western-Australia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelhouseuk.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Western-Australia-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/><\/h1>\n<p>Sometimes there is this desire to lose yourself to the world and let it sway your path in any direction. Western Australia is the place to be if you want to go with the flow and hear yourself again. It is a place to ponder and learn to love yourself again. The vast emptiness of Australia\u2019s western outback encourages your soul to re-grow. There are no impositions there; there is just the soil, the wind, and the ocean. The coral reef is still unbleached and full of life. The people are hospitable and kind.
