Why not spend your summer holiday in Europe. With reasonably prices last minute flights there are many options from the United Kingdom to mainland Europe.
Why not get an all-inclusive package deal if you are on a budget and spend the rest of your money on sampling local delights.
If you wanted to try something a little different, why not plan a backpacking trip. Use local transport and Interrail to ensure you see as much of the country as possible. Each trip will be different so you can plan your own adventure.
Interrail gives you the option to travel through 30 countries at your leisure. Accommodation will not be included in this service but it gives you the choice to pick where you want to stay and when.
While your out in Europe there are many music festivals, local festivals and tourist attractions to keep you occupied.
