After months of lockdown and a series of travel bans, the world has slowly begun opening up to travel again. But it’s not all within reach just yet. The UK’s travel quarantine rules continue to change frequently as cases around the world spike and dip, leaving travellers wondering more than ever, where to go on holiday?
WHERE TO GO ON HOLIDAY RIGHT NOW?
The most obvious option right now is a staycation, so for Brits that means a holiday in the UK. While some cities and counties have restrictions in place, much of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are available to explore, with UK hotels, cottages, restaurants, spas and campsites eager to welcome back travellers.
