MOMENTS
Choose the moment you want to travel for.
Sometimes you don’t choose when to travel. The moment chooses for you.
Some journeys begin with a reason: a New Year’s Eve you want to remember, Christmas experienced differently, an escape for two, a few days away, or a special occasion that deserves more than a gift. MOMENTS starts with the occasion that makes you want to go and helps you discover where you could travel and how to turn it into an experience.
New Year's Eve
Sometimes a new year deserves a new setting.
New Year’s Eve can feel completely different depending on where you choose to spend it. You can welcome midnight on the shores of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, surrounded by the lights and energy of a city that bridges two continents; choose Edinburgh, where Hogmanay turns the city centre into one huge celebration; or head to Madeira for its famous night of fireworks over Funchal Bay.
If you’re looking for a true winter escape, New Year’s Eve can continue in the snow in Tyrol, the Dolomites or Val d’Isère, with days on the slopes and evenings in a chalet. For a completely different start to the year, swap the snow for sunshine in Dubai, the ocean in Zanzibar, or the Arctic landscapes and the chance to see the Northern Lights in Lapland.
You can travel for the celebration, for the snow, for the warmth, or simply for the feeling of starting the year somewhere you’ve never been before. The destination changes the setting. You choose how you want the story to begin.

Easter
Easter can be a familiar celebration experienced in a completely new setting.
In Bologna, spring unfolds among porticoes, piazzas and trattorias, in a city where food itself can become the main reason for a getaway. Munich brings parks coming back to life, traditional beer halls and the possibility of continuing on to Bavaria’s castles and landscapes, while Madrid combines museums, markets, tapas and evenings that begin to stretch longer with the arrival of spring.
On the Mediterranean coast, Valencia means sunshine, gastronomy, architecture and the sea, while Marseille can be the starting point for a journey through the ports, villages and calanques of Provence. They are ideal choices if you want a few days of European spring without the pace and crowds of summer.
But the Easter holiday can also be the perfect opportunity for a journey further afield. In Bali, temples, rice terraces, beaches and island rituals create an entirely different experience; Thailand can combine Bangkok with its islands and Asian cuisine; while Singapore brings spectacular gardens, architecture, multicultural neighbourhoods and one of Asia’s most fascinating food scenes together in a single journey.
If you simply want to swap spring for the tropics, Jamaica means the Caribbean, beaches, lush vegetation, waterfalls and local rhythm. Dubai, meanwhile, can bring together beaches, resorts, desert experiences, shopping and attractions for children in one family holiday.
At Easter, you can stay close to home or travel halfway around the world. What matters is that those days off give you exactly what every journey needs: time to go.
Valentine's Day
Sometimes, the most beautiful gift doesn’t come wrapped. It’s an experience shared by two.
It could be Venice, discovered without the summer rush, with almost-silent streets in the morning, an aperitivo by the Grand Canal and a gondola ride as the lights begin to shimmer on the water. Or it could be an island in the Maldives, where a few days in a villa over the ocean mean beaches, spa time, private dinners and almost nothing between the two of you and the horizon.
In the Seychelles, romance has a different setting: secluded coves framed by granite rocks, tropical vegetation and islands you can discover together. In the Azores, the choice is wilder — the Atlantic, thermal springs, volcanic lakes, nature trails and evenings when the destination feels a world away from everyday life.
And if Valentine’s means energy, Miami can combine ocean and beach with Art Deco design, rooftop bars, gastronomy and nights in South Beach. Or you can leave the idea of a single destination behind altogether and choose a cruise: the Mediterranean, the Caribbean or the Emirates, with each day beginning in a different port and evenings spent together at sea.
It can be a three-day escape or the journey you’ve been dreaming about for years. For Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to choose the most romantic destination in the world. You have to choose the place that says something about the two of you.
Sometimes, the calendar gives you the reason. You choose the story.
New Year’s Eve can mean fireworks in Edinburgh, sunshine in Dubai or a few days on the slopes. Easter might find you in Bologna or thousands of miles away in Bali. A school holiday can begin at Disneyland and continue through Paris, while a special occasion can become a villa in Tuscany, an island in the Maldives or a road trip along the West Coast.
The same time of year can lead to completely different journeys. The moment gives you the opportunity to go. The destination, the season and the way you choose to travel turn that opportunity into your experience.
Women's Day
Spring can begin with flowers. Or with a plane ticket.
At the beginning of March, Nice brings the light of the French Riviera, long walks along the Mediterranean and day trips to Èze, Menton or Monaco. Further south, Seville means orange trees, tapas, sun-filled squares and Andalusian evenings, at an ideal time to discover the city before the summer heat arrives.
For an energetic urban weekend, Berlin can mean contemporary art, galleries, design, shopping and nights that end late, while Prague offers a completely different atmosphere: architecture, historic cafés, spas and walks through the streets of the Old Town.
In Istanbul, a few days can combine a hammam, shopping in the Grand Bazaar, gastronomy, rooftop bars and a cruise on the Bosphorus. In Rome, spring can be savoured among piazzas, museums, trattorias and the first long meals out on a terrace. And if you want to head even further south, Palermo opens the door to Sicily through colourful markets, street food, palaces, the sea and excursions to Monreale or Cefalù.
It can be a trip with your mother, your daughter, your friends, as a couple, or simply a few days you give yourself. In March, you don’t travel only in search of spring. Sometimes you travel to begin it your own way.
May Day
The first long weekend of spring is a very good reason to see just how close summer already feels.
You can start on the Island of Elba, among small coves, coastal villages and roads that invite you to explore the island at your own pace. Or choose Sardinia, where early May brings light, nature and spectacular beaches before the summer season changes the island’s rhythm. In Corsica, the sea meets the mountains, and a few days can combine scenic drives, port towns and trails through a surprisingly wild landscape.
In Santorini, May Day can mean whitewashed villages, sunsets over the Caldera and discovering the island before the busiest months arrive. Mallorca offers even more possibilities in a single escape: Palma, Mediterranean coves, villages in the Serra de Tramuntana, gastronomy and spectacular roads across the island.
But a short break doesn’t necessarily have to mean an island. On the Atlantic coast, La Rochelle can be a base for exploring the harbour, enjoying seafood, cycling and taking a trip to Île de Ré. For families, Bergamo can open the door to a completely different few days: the old town, Lake Garda and a day at Gardaland.
And if you simply want the energy of a city as spring moves towards summer, Milan brings design, shopping, aperitivo and the possibility of an escape to the Italian lakes, while Barcelona combines architecture and gastronomy with the first long days spent by the Mediterranean.
For May Day, you can look for an island, a city, a road trip or that first feeling of summer. A few days off are enough to make the travel season start a little earlier.
School Holidays
When the children are on holiday, the whole world can become their playground.
For the sea and days spent outdoors, Egypt can mean family resorts, swimming pools, water parks, snorkelling and their first encounters with the spectacular underwater world of the Red Sea. Tunisia combines beaches with resorts, excursions and the adventure of a day in the desert, while Greece offers islands, peaceful coves, villages, simple Mediterranean food and holidays where parents and children can easily find their own rhythm.
At other times, the destination can be chosen around the very world children dream of discovering. Disneyland Paris for stories and characters, Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando for an entire holiday built around imagination, Europa-Park for attractions and themed worlds, LEGOLAND for play and building, PortAventura World for a few days of adrenaline near Barcelona, or Gardaland to combine the theme park with Lake Garda and northern Italy.
For other kinds of adventure, there is Efteling in the Netherlands with its fairytale world, Phantasialand in Germany, Puy du Fou in France, where history becomes a spectacle, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi and Ferrari World for a holiday in the Emirates, or Tivoli Gardens to combine fun with discovering Copenhagen.
The school holidays can mean the seaside, a theme park or a journey that gives them a little of everything. For them, it’s an adventure. For you, these are the days that become the family stories you’ll be telling for years.
Halloween
At Halloween, some cities reveal a side you won’t see at any other time of year.
In London, the city’s darker stories, night tours and old streets create the perfect setting for a few atmospheric days. Dublin adds the Celtic traditions from which modern Halloween was born, while Cologne can combine the city on the Rhine with castles, legends and escapes into the surrounding region. In Warsaw, history, old neighbourhoods and cold autumn evenings give a city break an entirely different character.
But for a truly Gothic story, you can head straight to Transylvania. Brașov and Bran Castle inevitably bring the legend of Dracula into the journey, while Sighișoara, with the towers, passageways and streets of its medieval citadel, seems almost made for a Halloween weekend.
In France, Halloween can become the perfect reason to discover castles, theme parks and medieval towns, while Austria offers fortresses, palaces, Alpine landscapes and autumn traditions in a setting that feels more mysterious than frightening. For something unexpected, Bilbao brings the Basque Country, gastronomy and the Atlantic, while Lisbon and Porto can turn Halloween into a city break among old streets, palaces, legends and Portuguese evenings.
And if you want to go somewhere Halloween becomes a spectacle, San Francisco celebrates it American-style: costumes, parties, decorated neighbourhoods and themed events, in a city where the journey can continue to Alcatraz and its stories.
Halloween can mean Dracula, castles and legends, but it can also simply be an autumn city break chosen for its atmosphere. Sometimes, the best destination is the one that tells you a story after dark.
Special Occasions
Some moments aren’t meant to be simply celebrated. You want to turn them into a journey.
It could be your honeymoon, a proposal, your anniversary, an intimate wedding or simply that moment worth bringing the people you love together somewhere extraordinary. A villa in Tuscany, surrounded by vineyards, long dinners and Italian villages, can become the setting for a celebration that belongs entirely to you. In Santorini, a terrace overlooking the Caldera can host an intimate ceremony, while Mykonos or a party at Ushuaïa Ibiza changes the mood completely: music, friends and a night worth crossing Europe for.
For a honeymoon or an anniversary for two, you can disappear into an overwater villa in the Maldives, among the lagoons of Mauritius or onto a secluded beach in the Seychelles. Provence can mean lavender, wine, villages and a romantic stay at a slower pace, while Capri and the Amalfi Coast bring the Mediterranean, boat trips, spectacular hotels and Italian evenings that seem made for celebrating.
If the occasion calls for a journey you may never repeat, you can choose the almost unreal nature of Madagascar, the islands of Hawaii or the turquoise waters of the Bahamas. You can turn an anniversary into a road trip between Los Angeles and the West Coast, a luxury experience in Mexico or a journey through Cuba, between Havana, music, classic cars and cities that seem suspended in another time.
And for those who want to retreat from the world, Bali can offer hidden villas, temples, spas and tranquillity, while the Philippines mean nature, islands and secluded bays where the journey can become almost entirely about the two of you.
Some anniversaries are measured in years. The ones you never forget are measured in places, people and stories experienced together.
