With holidays, as with fashion, times are constantly a-changing, with everyone eager to find out what’s the next Big Thing, the up-and-coming and the one-to-watch. And like with fashion, to get ahead of the curve it’s always worth having a look back at previous trends too, vintage destinations if you will, to uncover hidden or [...]
A great game is always worth travelling for – but some host venues are always going to mean more than others. Here we list our top sporting venues, which can give us tingles down our spines simply by stepping through the gates. Wembley Stadium – London, UK Wembley Stadium – Image © Howard Layne It’s [...]
Mother Nature, we salute you. As mere mortals, even with our best efforts we haven’t even come close to reproducing what you’re capable of just by chilling out for a few billion years. Here’s our rundown of her top 10 geological wonders… Pamukkale In Turkish, this name literally means Cotton Castle, and looking at this [...]
It’s happened to all of us: you watch something on TV, you think it looks fabulous, and you start plotting your visit. And nowhere looks more photogenic, has been featured in so many hit TV shows, or has so many sides to it than the one and only New York. If you want to get [...]
Don’t panic, but we’re about to get all highbrow on you. Well, sort of. Today we put to you the question: What is art? The glorious colourful splashes of Monet hanging in the Louvre? Tracey Emin’s unmade bed? Michelangelo’s David? That doodle you just did on the phone to your boss? Yep, these are all [...]
The jig is up, kids. Like toddlers who have been given free run of the sandpit for too long, we’ve run amok, creating more environmental problems than you can shake a (pesticide covered) stick at. The world definitely needs saving, and this time, we’re going to need more than a man in tights and a [...]
Does this sound familiar? “Are we there yet? Are we nearly there yet?” Well get used to it because some of the theme parks in this list are a little bit further away than you’d normally travel – It’s over 24 hours to Australia’s Gold Coast… The parks are more than worth a visit if [...]
Sleepovers to a twelve-year-old me are about all-night gossiping, too many sweets, a cheesy film (or two, or three) and not much sleep, usually partially wedged under a sofa or too close to a table leg. Not much has changed since then I guess, apart from the locations – today you can sleep over in [...]
Not so long ago a trip to Orlando was a once in a lifetime holiday experience. Now it’s more likely to be once a summer. Direct flights depart daily from a multitude of UK airports, the numbers of Brits owning villas in Florida is on the up, and more and more theme park attractions open [...]
It would be a hard-hearted person indeed who’s never wanted to visit one of the Disney resorts, and the ultimate destination to indulge in this (perhaps slightly guilty) pleasure is at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando. With six theme parks on the one site, you’re going to need a magic carpet to fit [...]
If the only kind of ‘remote’ you ever encounter is the one being passed to you when Downton’s about to start, you might want to consider a trip to one of these secluded hideaways. To get away from it all – and properly, not to a beach with twenty other sunburned couples all erm, getting [...]
Things can get a bit monotonous on the tourist trail – one sight after another, more things to look at, more group shots of you, your travelling companions and the view. But all that can change in an instant if the sight you’re visiting needs you to interact with it. And why would you do [...]
The Shard has been a landmark on the London horizon for a while now, but the buzz is well and truly back as The View (that’s the viewing floors at the Shard to you and me) has opened at long last! In honour of this exciting occasion, we’re bringing you our top five views – [...]
We’re always finding great flight deals to the USA, but we’re also dab hands when it comes to advice on what to do there. A road trip is invariably high on our agenda, conjuring up images of cruising down Route 66 (yes, we know it no longer exists) in a Caddy, trying to emulate Jack [...]

January 3, 2013 Comments OffWe’re pretty sure some of you (just like some of us) will have made a New Year’s resolution to visit new places in 2013 – so we’ve put together this list of destinations you’ve probably never heard of, but really should visit, by way of inspiration! Hampi, India A sleepy and relaxed atmosphere pervades [...]
‘Tis the season to be skating, and it seems every city worth it’s winter is kicking up a serious stink in the rink department. I chose my pick of the bunch – these six bad boys are certainly NOT the weakest rink! Rideau Canal, Ottawa, Canada. As the world’s largest ice rink (it’s equal to [...]
Sorry to all the crazy cat ladies (and gentlemen) out there, this isn’t a list of pet-friendly hotels (although some of the featured hotels may indeed welcome pets!) We’re going even more extreme. We’re talking hotels for die-hard animal fans, the kind who think a holiday isn’t complete unless they can have a giraffe over [...]
The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, have unusually been on show over the UK earlier this month. Did you miss them? We did! Light pollution, and being tucked up safely in our beds ready to spend another day tracking down deals, meant that whilst some parts of the UK were being amazed [...]

October 1, 2012 Comments OffIt seems to us here at dealchecker that autumn gets a lot of bad press. Generally, people are disappointed that summer is over (ok, I’ll admit it, that’s me), are waiting for the first snowfall of winter, or are fed up with raking leaves from their lawn. Autumn can be a great time to enjoy [...]
