Did you know that there is new direct flight from Dublin to Larnaca, Cyprus next summer? I found Free Child Places in one of the best all-inclusive family resorts on the island. There is a choice of pools including one with waterslides, as well as a choice of restaurants and onsite activities to keep adults and children happy. Check out the reviews on TripAdvisor if you still need convincing.

The Holiday Inn Belfast is located in the heart of the city and offers great value for a family stay over St Brigid’s weekend. Price for a two-night stay from Saturday the 1st of February is only €274 for a family of four.
Belfast is brimming with family attractions including indoor skydiving at Vertigo and Ireland’s award-winning Science and Discovery Centre, W5. However, there is plenty to do outside the city too.
Make sure you take a spin to Colin Glen Forest Park and enjoy their Gruffalo Trail, ziplines and alpine coaster, and pre-book the Gobbins Cliff Path Walk – it is one of my favourite things to do in Northern Ireland.

Lisbon is one Europe’s top city break destinations, and after my recent visit I now know why! It has a beautiful old town, a host of top attractions, and a great food scene.
I found return flights in January for just €60 return, departing early Saturday morning and returning late Monday evening, which gives you three full days to explore this great city. A two-night stay at the top-rated HF Fenix Music hotel is only €95 per person, making the total just €155. Wouldn’t this make a great Christmas gift?
