We’ve done the hard work of finding the sweet spots in the calendar. Here are some of the best upcoming trips that line up beautifully with school holidays:

Girls, if you are looking for an amazing trip that doesn't require a long-haul flight, this is it! This was a Gals Who Travel favourite from 2025, and it really is the Euro summer trip of dreams.

This trip is perfect for teachers who want a mix of culture and stunning spots. It's also amazing for those who want to experience a city break with zero planning and stress. You've spent the WHOLE year planning and organising, we've done the research for the best rooftop restaurants and Aperol spots, so let us take charge so you can unwind and recharge!
