The 5 hottest destinations for 2014

01/21/2014

Here’s HostelsClub’s top 5 places to be in 2014 for an unforgettable trip!

Where will your wanderings take you in 2014? It may be hard to tell now… after all, every destination is good, what really matters is travelling. However, we want to share with you 5 destinations that we think will be red-hot for a variety of reasons: decreased costs, less organization required, increased popularity… check them out!

1 - CUBA

Pleasant climate all year round, wonderful beaches and great sea, nice and warm people, culture and history: Cuba is this and much more! Getting to Havana or Varadero is not as expensive as it used and, by booking in advance, you can find some great deals (check out AirFrance, Alitalia, AirEuropa, BluExpress and AirBerlin). HostelsClub.com offers you an incredibly big number of accommodations in Cuba, at super-low prices and with great reviews: everything from hotels to B&Bs, from budget hotels to the typical “Casas Particulares”…

2 - CROATIA AND MONTENEGRO

Trip to Croatia and Montenegro

Croatia is already a well-known summer destination for Europeans. What’s new is that Croatia is now in the Euro, which means that the border is now easier to cross: it will be a lot easier to get to Croatia by car or bus! And once you’re in Croatia, we suggest you also check out the nearby Montenegro: a lot less explored or touristic, but just as good – if not better! The cities of Bar, Tivat and Kotor are hidden gems, still undiscovered by mass tourism. And, both in Croatia and Montenegro, you can sleep at ridiculously low prices!

3 - SINGAPORE

Trip to Singapore

A metropolis with a special charm, with ultra-modern skyscrapers just beside the traditional boroughs, with a mix of Chinese, Malaysian and Indian influences: Singapore is a world apart, to be explored and discovered. Here you can experience both the bustling city life and paradise-like beaches (thanks to the year-round warm weather – we’re close to the Equator, after all), walks in the nature and culture. A bunch of airlines fly to Singapore from Europe: you can find the best deals with Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Saudia.

4 - PORTUGAL

Sintra, Portugal

A north to South trip of Portugal (or vice-versa!) is an unforgettable experience: a great mix of culture, arts, nature, good food and great wines! Our suggestion is to rent a car and enjoy a drive through the main locations in a couple of weeks, enjoying the panoramic roads both on the coast and in the countryside. You can start your trip from Faro, explore the wonderful coast of Algarve ad then go on to cities such as Evora, Lisbon, Sintra, Nazaré, Fatima, and Coimbra, to end your trip in Porto. Germanwings has flights to Faro, while Easyjet and Ryanair fly to Lisbon and Porto. And, on the plus side, Portugal has some of the best hostels in the world, and you wouldn’t believe the prices! Cities like Porto and Lisbon boast some of the coolest design hostels in Europe - book them on HostelsClub.com!

5 - RIGA (LATVIA)

Riga, Latvia

Latvia too has recently joined the Euro countries, making the trip to Riga even easier. Latvia is probably the most interesting of the 3 Baltic countries: still relatively unknown, but full of surprises and fascination. Riga’s city center is part of Unesco’s World Heritage, thanks to the many art-nouveau buildings that earned it the nickname “The Paris of the North”. The main low-cost airlines fly to Riga form all over Europe, but don’t forget to check also Air Baltic. Do not worry about your accommodation: on HostelsClub.com you can find cheap and classy hostels in Riga, for as low as 6€.
