Here are the best last-minute getaways to have an unforgettable summer:

Prague

Prague is bursting with history, art and castles that will make you feel like you're living in a fairytale. Plus, it's the bohemian-beer capital of the world. Prague ticks all the boxes for a perfect summer getaway. Dive into a brand new culture and hang out in some of the best beer gardens, even better than your local (we promise!). You can even have a beer bath if you love it that much. Beer ain't your thing? Explore the gothic capital and immerse yourself in the Czech galleries, museums and fantasy street art. Even better, you can win our long break to Prague, which is an all-expense paid trip! That’s right, your return flights and 5 nights at the luxury Falkensteiner hotel are all covered by us. We’ve even thrown in a river cruise lunch to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. Just make sure you treat yourself to some spa waffles and bohemian keepsakes.

Northern Ireland

Fancy a flight-free trip, so you’re travelling sustainably this summer? It's time to explore magical Northern Ireland and all its hidden treasures. Get stuck in and learn about all the myths and legends of the Giant's Causeway. The perfect time to visit is in the summer when the views are spectacular and it's not too cold from those sea winds. Are there any Game of Throne fans in the house? Then you must head to the Dark Hedges to relive Arya Stark’s journey on the Kingsroad. Those mystical trees are just something you've never seen before. Wanna have a unique experience and sleep in a bubble dome with your fellow traveller? Hell yeah! Win a trip to Northern Ireland for 5 nights to stay in your very own bubble dome surrounded by charming Irish forests.

Stockholm

We can't get enough of the Scandinavian lifestyle, and we're all obsessed with all things minimalist. Why not experience the real thing and head over to Stockholm? The vibrant city is filled with sustainable dining, world-class art and the charming old town of Gamla Stan. Of course, eating Swedish meatballs is on top of our bucket list (no need to visit Ikea to get your fix!). Stockholm has so much to offer, and we're dying for you to go. That's why we've teamed up with LuckyTrip so you can experience Stockholm in style! You could win a luxury holiday with your fellow Scandi fan and you’ll also win tickets for the iconic Fotografiska museum. Experience the best photography exhibition that will make you feel inspired and spark that creativity!

Sintra

Lisbon is vibrant and filled with life, but fancy going off the beaten track this summer? We've got just the gem for you! Head over to the low-key and calming Sintra this summer. The picturesque town makes you feel like you're living in a postcard. We're talking castles (lots of amazing ones!), enchanted gardens and beaches with some of the best waves in the world. Don't worry though, as the beaches match the town's tranquillity. It's a popular summer spot for Português, so you'll get an authentic, local experience. Fun fact: Nazaré, to the north of Sintra, is where the world's tallest wave is, yikes! Wanna enjoy the slow-paced life the town offers? How about winning 5 nights in Sintra, so you're not rushing up and down those castles? We've got you!

Paris

We've got another trip for you sustainable travel fans. Escape to the romantic capital of the world: Paris! You can pop over for the weekend with no flying involve “cheers, Eurostar!”. Some of the best things about the glam French capital are the coffee, croissants, macaroons, baguettes… okay, you see where we’re going with this! If there’s anything you need to go to Paris for, it’s to wine and dine your heart out. You can even have some food to go and have it on the steps with the perfect view of the iconic Eiffel Tower (no reservation required). Discover some hidden gems in the hipster area of Canal Saint Martin and get lost in the endless pretty streets. You can even visit the famous Shakespeare & Co bookstore for some new reads during your relaxing morning at the cafes. Of course, don’t forget to pay Mona a visit whilst you’re there!
