Are you tired of the same routine and in need of a break? Planning a weekend getaway can be a great way to escape from the daily grind and recharge. Whether you want to explore a new city, relax on the beach, or go on a hiking adventure, a weekend getaway can be the perfect opportunity to do so.

Choose Where To Go

To start planning, first, decide on the destination. Consider the amount of time you have and the budget you are working with. If you have a limited budget, consider locations that are closer to home and offer affordable accommodations. If you have more time and a larger budget, you may want to venture further away and splurge on a luxury hotel or resort.

Choose What To Do There

Once you have chosen a destination, make a list of the must-see sights and activities. This can help you maximize your time and make the most of your trip. You can also do research on local restaurants and nightlife to get a feel for the area and plan out your meals and entertainment.

Pack Efficiently

It’s also important to pack smartly and efficiently. Bring clothes that are appropriate for the weather and any planned activities, but try not to overpack. Stick to the essentials and bring versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched. Don’t forget any necessary medications or toiletries, and always bring a reusable water bottle and snacks for the road.

January may be behind us, but that doesn’t mean we can say goodbye to winter just yet. In many locations, the forecast is likely to include lots of cold and snowy weather for at least six more weeks. In an ideal world, we’d prefer to spend this time in our own little version of hibernation, but, as for most of us that’s not really possible, we have to find other ways to make the most of the season. Sometimes, a weekend getaway is all we need to relax and recharge, and proper packing can mean the difference between an enjoyable trip and a weekend wasted. Here are some things we always make sure to bring when traveling in winter.

Long Underwear

Whether you plan to hit the slopes or stay snuggled up by the fire indoors, wearing layers will help you to stay warm and comfortable all weekend long. We recommend packing long underwear made from moisture-wicking materials to provide a layer of insulation and keep you dry.

Proper Shoes

Nothing will ruin your experience more than cold, wet feet, so be sure to come prepared with a pair of water-proof, insulated shoes that you can wear over some warm and fuzzy socks. You’ll especially want to choose comfortable shoes if your plans include a lot of walking.

Accessories

While a good quality jacket is necessary for staying warm, you may be surprised to know that a hat, scarf, and gloves can be just as important. Our bodies lose heat through the hands and head quickly, so keep them covered and dry to stay comfortable and prevent frostbite.

As much as we enjoy slow travel and look forward to those times when we’re able to relax on longer vacations, sometimes it’s just not possible. Between families and full-time jobs, the hustle and bustle of life can often make taking a break feel like a far-off dream. Travel doesn’t need to be all or nothing, though. Sometimes one night can be enough to leave you feeling refreshed and recharged, and for those times when you are able to make it work, you’ll want to travel in style. We’ve rounded up some of the best weekender bags that are perfect for your next quick getaway. 

Herschel Novel Duffel Bag

This bag features a simple, classic design and is made of water-resistant fabric with synthetic leather straps. It comes with a removable shoulder strap for added comfort and has an exterior compartment for packing shoes.

Béis The Weekender Bag

Actress Shay Mitchell’s take on a weekender bag as part of her BEIS luggage brand is made from canvas and faux patent leather. It looks seriously chic and has tons of pockets as well as a bottom compartment for shoes.

Paravel Fold-Up Bag

This bag is perfect for a weekend getaway or to throw in your suitcase for longer travels just in case you need more space to bring home laundry or souvenirs. It’s large enough to serve as a regular duffel with the added benefit of being able to fold up super small.

Weekend getaways are one of the best ways to explore the world if your schedule is constantly packed and the holiday season is out of sight. Hitting the road for two or three days is a great way to keep your passion for travel alive as long as you make these three important choices before your trip.

No. 1: Destination

The destination you choose can make or break your trip. If you’re traveling by car or bus, it’s important to stay close to home, so you wouldn’t spend most of the time on the road. If you’re catching a plane, look for a low-budget flight and opt for a destination you can easily explore in a few days.

No. 2: Company

Unless you’re traveling solo, the company you keep can make all the difference when it comes to short trips, such as a weekend getaway. Make sure you’re on the same page about your budget and plans because you won’t have enough time to figure things out and get into arguments as you go along.

No. 3: Places of Interest

It’s also crucial to know what exactly you want to see in the city you’re visiting so you wouldn’t miss out on anything. It comes in handy to book tickets for ultra-popular attractions in advance or avoid them altogether so you wouldn’t spend half of your trip waiting in long lines.

Quick weekend getaways are becoming more popular because they are easy to organize since we don’t need to take any vacation days to go always for the weekend. In case you’re still not sure whether or not you like the idea of weekend trips, here are a few more benefits to consider.

They’re Affordable

Since you’re going away for only two or three days it’s only logical that you won’t need to break a bank in order to afford a weekend trip.

Connect With People

Traveling is a great way to meet new people or bond with your loved ones, and that’s why weekend trips are great for spending more quality time with your friends.

Improve Mental Health

Traveling is great for reducing stress levels and improving mental health, and using your weekends to go on a short trip is a great way to unplug and use this time for relaxation.

Travel More Often

People who work a full-time job usually don’t have enough time for traveling, but organizing at least two or three weekend trips in a year is a great trick to travel more often.

Explore Your Own Backyard

Weekend getaways are perfect for exploring the beauties of your own country because there are probably many nearby places that you still haven’t visited.

If you’re looking for somewhere to spend a weekend getaway, the historic Spanish town of Granada is a great choice. It is rich in culture, steeped in beautiful architecture, and is the perfect place to reach a number of exciting activities. Here are some of the highlights of Granada.

Alhambra Palace

This is the most famous destination in the region. A medieval palace, castle, contemporary summer resort, and walled town, it really is a sight to behold. But you need to ensure that you have booked well in advance because it is immensely popular.

Albayzín

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is the traditional Arab quarter of the city. It is a maze of winding streets and whitewashed alleyways.

Granada Cathedral

Spain’s second-largest cathedral, this magnificent construction was built on top of a pre-existing mosque. It is famous for its mix of Moorish, gothic, and renaissance elements.

Alcaiceria

This quaint little street is full of independent artisan and earthenware stores. If you’re looking to buy a souvenir, this is the place to go.

Generalife

These are the stunning gardens of the Alhambra Palace. They are one of the best examples of classical European gardens, with endless topiaries, geometric lawns, fountains, and pools.

Getting outside from time to time is vitally important for the body and mind. It creates a sense of well-being that, well let’s face it, no other activity can. Here are just some of the reasons you need to get outside:

It recharges the body

Being outdoors gives the body a break from the day to day routine. When you’re outside on a sunny day you give your body a vitamin D boost. If you’re a city dweller, breathing in a lungful or two of fresh air will also give your body an oxygen boost.

It reminds you of who you are

Outdoor activities take many of us back to the fond memories of our childhoods, where responsibilities were few and opportunities for fun were many. It also gives us a chance to reconnect with the person we were which is connected to the person we are.

It challenges you

Being outdoors and doing activities you are unfamiliar with will challenge you and make you dig deep to find the courage and strength to complete them. This boosts your self-confidence.
