Sometimes it can seem like all holidays are geared towards families with kids. There are the kiddy pools with water slides, the kid's menus in the restaurant, and that oh so fun entertainment selection designed for the little ones that the children steadfastly ignore while sliding around on the dancefloor on their knees. However, if you are looking for a break that is more grownup and sophisticated in nature, then you have come to the right place. Keep reading to find out more.
Ireland
Steeped in culture this green and pleasant Isle is an excellent choice for those that are looking for a grownup break. It doesn't hurt that the place is so famous for its alcoholic offerings either. With things like Guinness and Irish Whisky being regarded the world over as at the top of their field. Something that brings me onto discussing tours like Guinness Storehouse and the Old Jameson Distillery in Dublin. Of course, there is bound to be a few samples as well. So if you look under 25 don't forget your ID! There are some great urban areas in Ireland to visit as well. Especially cities like Cork and Galway. Perfect for experiencing the nightlife and restaurant scene. If you are in Cork, you have to try Fred Zeppelin's a slight on traditional rock and roll joint. As well as The Old Town Whiskey Bar at Bodega for a sample of the local nectar. While Galway boasts the RóisÃn Dubh where you can catch regular live music acts. Making Ireland truly a perfect place for a grownup getaway.
Lapland
You might be surprised to discover that Lapland is also a fantastic choice for a adults' holidays. Probably because it's so often associated with Santa Claus and giving the kids a magical Christmas. However, there is much more to this fine country than that. In fact, there is a great range of adult snow holidays in Lapland that you can choose from. Try dog sled racing in Jeris, celebrating the New years with fireworks on the ice at Sörbyn, or even sipping a cocktail at the bar of an ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi You see, not a Santa or bauble in sight!
USA
Lastly, if you are looking for some grownup and sophisticated fun you could do a lot worse than heading on over to the ol’ US of A. Of course, you have the Disney theme parks in California and Florida which are actually great fun for grownups as well. Although, if you looking for a similar feel minus the mice, then why not try Las Vegas? Las Vegas or Sin City as it’s known is a place that has certainly earned its name. There you can check out some of the raunchier Cirque Du Soleil performances, shoot an automatic weapon or bet your life savings on red.
However, If you are looking for a little more sophistication then why not visit the gorgeous city of San Francisco on the West coast. There you can revel in the super hip nightlife. Bar hopping or attending tiny, intimate, gigs in dive bars. You can even check of the Oktoberfest by the Bay if you are travelling in the autumn. Making is a great choice for a break that is more geared towards grownups.
