Tips for Travelling on a Bank Holiday Weekend
Weekend breaks are perfect for exploring Europe, while bank holidays offer a great opportunity to stack your annual leave and get a longer holiday while taking fewer days off. Keep in mind that bank holiday breaks will book out faster than at other times of the year, so make sure you secure your dates early to avoid missing out. It’s also worth pre-booking key sights you’d like to see so you don’t get stuck in long queues with the crowds – or, in some cases like museums or major hotspots, risk not getting in at all!
As with all busy times of year, allow for longer queueing times at airports, passport control, public transport, and popular tourist sights during bank holiday breaks.
