It\u2019s the season of travel, and for many of you due to go abroad, you\u2019ll already have your flights booked, car rental secured, and swimsuits at the ready. But if you\u2019re still umming and ahhing on where you want the rest of this summer to take you, take a peek at which alternative destinations are hot on our radars compared to this time last year!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Skyline<\/a><\/p>\n

Bucharest (280% increase)<\/h3>\n

Bucharest, or \u2018Little Paris\u2019 as some may know it, is usually an underdog for summer travel. Tourists who visit during other months often miss this fascinating city truly come alive – from the vibrancy of the parks and botanical gardens, to the multitude of festivals and street performances that pop up across the city\u2019s cobbled streets. If you\u2019re wanting to get the full Bucharest experience, now\u2019s the time!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Small<\/a><\/p>\n

Bergen (267% increase)<\/h3>\n

Those of our customers renting a car in Bergen are no doubt gearing themselves up to explore the expansive beauty of the Norwegian fjords – and who can blame them? The above image is enough to make it to the top of our bucket lists (and hopefully yours too!).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"palm-lined<\/a><\/p>\n

Nice (111% increase)<\/h3>\n

It would be impossible to count the number of times the French Riviera has been referenced in films and tv as a symbol of opulence and beauty. And what better way to be introduced to the region than through its capital – Nice. Touch down in this coastal gem, and let yourself be charmed by the promenades, markets, and classically French collection of elegant coffee shops.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/a>\"Aerial<\/a><\/p>\n

Girona (100% increase)<\/h3>\n

If you’re after the Goldilocks city of Spain – somewhere not too big, but not too small – then Girona might be the place for you. Perfect for a weekend away, or a week-long trip with visits to the numerous surrounding towns like Tossa de Mar.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Ljubljana (94% increase)<\/h3>\n

With Lake Bled and the Vr\u0161i\u010d Pass less than 2 hours away, anyone choosing to rent a car in Ljubljana is unlocking a getaway of adventure and unbeatable scenic views. But before you travel beyond the \u201cCity of Dragons\u201d, be sure to make time for the capital\u2019s incredible food scene – especially a visit to Restaurant \u0160estica, one of Europe\u2019s oldest restaurants!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Oporto (92% increase)<\/h3>\n

We can only assume those visiting Oporto (or Porto) like history – and rightly so. This coastal city is a treasure trove of heritage, from its UNESCO-listed Ribeira district to the centuries-old port wine cellars lining the Douro River. Oporto offers a rich blend of the past and present that we know our customers will love!<\/p>\n
