Swap Dolmabahçe Palace in Turkey for Buckingham Palace London
Friday, 6 May 2011
The holiday season is just beginning, but before you book one of your Dealchecker holidays to Turkey, why not take a look at what they have to offer within the UK.
London has recently been the setting for a momentous occasion in the UK's history. Prince William has finally married Kate Middleton and there are still remains of the big day scattered all over the city, especially at Buckingham Palace.
Something tells us that reminders of the wedding day are going to linger for some time to come, so even if you weren't lucky enough to be there on the day, you will still feel it in the air for some weeks to come.
While we've been dealing with the April showers and temperatures changing quicker than you can say "Royal Wedding" you may wonder why you would want to go online and book a trip to London. There are some great deals available from Dealchecker that you could be laughing and wonder why you hadn't done it sooner.
Of course, Turkey may be warmer than London, and Dolmabahçe Palace might be a place that you aim to visit in your lifetime, it is, of course a magical destination. However, being in the presence of something more patriotic is just as special.
Dealchecker makes booking your trip away so easy; it's just a few clicks and they do all the work for you. They help you with car hire as well as your flights, so getting down to Buckingham Palace this year couldn't be easier. Make yourself a nice cup of tea, take a seat and browse the offers available to you on the website, we are sure you won't be disappointed.
Other reasons to visit London during the upcoming Bank Holiday weekends are:
• The London Eye. You can see for miles on a good day, even take a glimpse of Buckingham Palace from the air.
• Camden Market. Take a stroll around this world famous market if you want a culture difference. The ranges of foods, fresh orange and jewellery are broad. It could easily fill a day, taking a look at what every stall has to offer.
Other Royal hotspots to visit are Windsor Castle, Kensington Palace and Hampton Court, all enriched in English Heritage and Royalty. Why not make this a special royal holiday and take it all in at once. There are black cabs around every corner so you can feel like a true Londoner between stops.
You can rest assured that you will find it quite difficult to be bored in the city of London. Little markets under bridges, a funfair on the riverside or a travelling circus at the next tube stop, you can see it all.
There are many shows to enjoy both evenings and matinee. Wicked has become very popular, along with Legally Blonde and We Will Rock You. All destined to be in the theatres for a long time to come. There are many ways to book your tickets while in London as well as in advance, so have a browse and see what takes your fancy.
Places to stay in London are a plenty, and Dealchecker will know about them. They will advise you on the hotels near the best attractions. It won't take you long to get anywhere in this Capital. Tubes and bus services running at frequent intervals through the day and into the night, although many of the attractions are an easy and beautiful walk on a good day. So if you choose to avoid hiring a car, you won't be stuck with no way back to the hotel.
The wonders of Dolmabahçe Palace summons you to the sun, and buckets of history and beauty, we agree it is a place worth holidaying to. However, this year, making the trip to London will be much more worth your pennies.
The climate may not be much different to back home in Ireland but a long weekend or even a week-long trip to London could save you packets, as well as give you something to talk about for the rest of your life.
We all know, however, that sometimes the weather wins you over, so if Turkey is the place you are eager to visit then of course Dealchecker.co.uk will be able to provide you with a memorable holiday. Wherever you decide to go on your holiday this year, you'll be in safe hands with Dealchecker.
