Where To Go When
We have handpicked a selection of our favourite destinations which we recommend for each month of the year
Where to go in January
The depths of winter call for a dose of life-giving sunshine, and there are a surprising number of destinations which offer bright sunny days even in January.
Where to go in April
One of our favourite months for a short break to a European city, April may be famous for showers in Britain, but in much of Europe it brings the beginnings of warmer weather.
Where to go in July
From summer city breaks to coast and countryside escapes, July can be an excellent month to enjoy a short break in Europe whether you are looking for a family holiday or tranquil retreat.
Where to go in October
October is an excellent month to explore European cities – with mild weather perfect for sightseeing, and a full range of cultural events including exhibitions, festivals and concerts.
Where to go in February
The shortest month of the year is an excellent time for a short city break. Many European cities remain relatively quiet and Kirker hotels offer excellent value for money.
Where to go in May
The end of winter and beginnings of spring make for an excellent month to head south for early spring sunshine, or enjoy excellent value for money in many classic cities.
Where to go in August
High summer is of course a peak month in most of the Mediterranean, however, head off the beaten path and you can be rewarded with some beautiful idyllic retreats.
Where to go in November
There are few months which warrant an escape from the routine more than November, when wintry weather at home makes us long for warmer shores and a change of scenery.
Where to go in March
The end of winter and beginnings of spring make for an excellent month to head south for early spring sunshine, or enjoy excellent value for money in many classic cities.
Where to go in June
With the arrival of summer, Europe enjoys long, light-filled days, perfect for sightseeing, and the start of the festival season means art and music events transform the streets, piazzas and galleries of our favourite cities.
Where to go in September
As the summer crowds recede and the heat subsides, September is one of the best months of the year for a city break.
Where to go in December
As the festive season approaches, one of the best ways to enjoy a short break away is to visit one of Europe’s charming Christmas markets.
