DESTINATIONS GUIDE | FESTIVE BREAKS 11


PARTY IN PRAGUE The sight of sparkling fireworks dripping into the Vltava River is a marvel. Whether your clients are seeking a romantic riverside


break or are keen to experience Prague’s party scene, the city delivers: jazz boat trips along the river and traditional dancing rank alongside nightclubs and pub crawls as the best things to do on New Year’s Eve. With easyJet holidays, agents can build a customised short break to suit any budget. A stay in the Hotel International Prague, a Czech cultural monument, provides a taste of the Czech capital’s Soviet-era grandeur and is close to some stunning green spaces – perfect for


when clients need a little peace on New Year’s Day. BOOK IT: EasyJet holidays offers four nights’ room-only at the four-star Hotel International Prague, for £724 per person, flying on December 30. easyjetholidays.com

Snow-covered Lapland

LAST-MINUTE LAPLAND Few can resist the remote appeal of Lapland. Reindeers roam between the evergreen pines, their hooves sinking into the snow, while savvy


snowshoers leave lighter tracks. The polar night – the 24-hour darkness that lasts from mid-December to the end of the month – means clients will maximise their chances of seeing the aurora borealis by travelling at this time of year too. Staying in the ski resort of Ylläs puts clients close to beginner-friendly slopes. On New Year’s Eve, locals ski down them wielding torches, before


watching the fireworks over a frozen lake. Book it: Inghams offers seven nights’ self-catering in the Äkäs Alp Apartments from £819 per person, based on two adults and two children sharing, including flights from Bristol on December 31. inghams.co.uk
