Many people like travelling because it is exciting. Travelling gives you the opportunity to learn about different cultures, meet new people, have a lot of fun and see unusual places.

At the world are many possibilities where you can travel and many different types of holiday.

If you go someplace nearby, and only for one day, this is called a day trip, because you leave and come home in the same day. Many day trips are taken by car, but bus or train can be used too. Are you looking to go someplace warm and sunny? Then you will probably choose to go to the beach or seaside and have a relaxing holiday, sun tanning and swimming. . Would you like to do something active, like hiking or skiing? Then you will want to go to the mountains. People can try many types of holiday. How types of holiday are the most popular?

All – inclusive holiday is very popular nowadays. Price includes flights, transfers, accommodation at a resort, entertainment and all our food and drinks. It is very comfortable because all is in one and you don´t worry and you can enjoy your holiday. Sometimes all – inclusive holiday can be quite expensive.

Package holiday is very popular kind of holiday too. Basically, you pay for your flight, hotel accommodation and airport transport before you leave, and then all you need to worry about when you get to your chosen destination are day – to –day expenses. You buy package holiday in travel agency.

Other popular holiday is sightseeing holiday. It is holiday, where you look at interesting buildings and attractive places. With you go tourist guide and he or she helps you with all and talk about country, which you visit and describe attractive sights. I think, it is safe holiday, because tourist guide help you with all and give you all important information.

Now I would like to speak about attractive destination to visit. If you want to go to sea, Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, Croatia, Greece or Spain are the best for you, because there are nice beaches, sea and interesting countryside. If you want to see some interesting cities and their sights, Paris, London, Vienna, Prague or Berlin are very beautiful.

If you can go to holiday, you have to choose some accommodation. So, where you can stay? Hotels are the best known types of accommodation. Often the quality is ranked by the number of stars, with being the best. Hotels generally offer clean rooms.
