For visitors, the Rock continues to be a stimulating and intriguing destination, where myths and monkeys are only half the story. Escape to Gibraltar Sightseeing At less than 7 square kilometres, much of what you’ll want to see in Gibraltar can be visited on foot. Should you wish to let public transport take the strain out of the steep hills and winding streets, buses will whisk you from the border into town and a cable car will carry you to the Upper Rock where the famously mischievous Barbary apes reside. The Rock as it is colloquially known is home to a number of impressive caves and tunnels. St Michaels’ was carved out of the rock by the neolithic residents of Gibraltar while the Siege Tunnels, built by the British during the 1779-83 offensive, constitute a small part of the estimated 70km of tunnel running internally, much of which is closed to the public. Gibraltar is a hotspot for dolphin watching. Three species – common, bottlenose and striped are widely seen while the waters around the Rock are also a haven for sailing and diving, boasting good winds and a unique set of reefs and wreck sites. Shopping Gibraltar is a haven for shopping and the main street boasts some of the lowest prices on the coast. Gibraltar’s official currency is the Gibraltar pound and while visitors can use British money in Gibraltar, Gibraltan denominations are not legal tender in the UK. As long as they have them, shops and restaurants will generally give you change in UK bank notes, if you request it. Resembling a high street from any British city, many of the well-known brand names are represented. Tax free shopping makes purchases such as cosmetics, tobacco and electronics highly desirable. If you’re in the market for local arts and crafts, visit the Crystal Factory on Casemates Square and watch glass blowers crafting their wares.

You can either walk the short distance (1.5 km) from the border to the town centre or catch one of the local buses which operate approximately every 15 minutes. For travel up to the Ape’s Den, a cable car is the easiest and most popular way although you can take a taxi or tour of the surrounding nature reserve. Eating & Drinking Gibraltar’s shopping area around Casemates Square has a number of cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants which are good for taking in the sun and watching the world go by. Around the marinas you’ll find more exotic restaurants serving local seafood and hearty paella.

Amidst the stunning beaches and delightful whitewashed towns, you’ll find a lively party atmosphere with entertainment and activities around the clock. Escape to The Algarve Sightseeing Once a small fishing village, Albufeira has developed into a thriving resort, thanks to its fine sandy beaches, excellent climate and proximity to bars and restaurants. Fisherman’s beach is one of the town’s main attractions offering a range of water sports such as jet-skiing and parasailing and it’s where the local fisherman bring in their colourful boats each morning. More a complex than a town, Vilamoura sits some 16km east of Albufeira and boasts a marina, a casino, 6 golf clubs, a large beach and a number of 4 and 5-star hotels. In addition, visitors have the option of many excursions including an equestrian riding centre, deep sea fishing and boat trips to caves along the coast. One of Lagos’ most popular attractions, apart from its long stretches of sand, is its dolphin tours. Alternatively, why not try mountain biking across the local rugged terrain, descending 900 metres from the region’s highest peak. Shopping Southern Portugal is famous for its ceramic dishes and tiles which come in all shapes and colours.

Most of Vilamoura’s bars and clubs are concentrated in the Marina area while sports fans should check out the Hole in One sports bar. Many pubs and bars have live bands throughout the week. Nightlife in Albufeira is cheap, fun and plentiful with numerous bars in both the old-town and along the strip. Nightclubs don’t really get going until 1 am and keep going til the early hours.

The charming cobbled streets and intimate terraces with views of the sea are the ultimate romantic getaway. Escape to Lisbon & Porto Sightseeing Rising from the river, the steep streets and thoroughfares lead to the heart of Lisbon’s shopping area on Avenida da Liberdade, a leafy boulevard complete with designer boutiques and upscale hotels. Towering over the city is the statue Cristo Rei, reached by ferry from Cais do Sodre followed by bus 101. Ponte 25 de Abril, is the sister bridge of the Golden Gate in San Francisco while the district of Belem holds many of the city’s cultural treasures including Belem Tower, Jeronimos Monastery and Museu Colecção Berardo, housing an extraordinary collection of modern and contemporary art. Porto on the other hand, reveals its treasures more slowly. From the beauty of the Ribeira district to the timeless traditions of Mercado do Bolhão, the city has a myriad of narrow roads and alleys to explore at your leisure. A river cruise is an enjoyable and inexpensive way to see the best of the town while a number of tours visit the city’s wine and port caves. Shopping Baixa is one of Lisbon’s oldest shopping districts. It’s also one of the city’s most touristic and here you’ll find the major international stores such as H&M and Zara. Chiado offers visitors a much more interesting experience. Not only is the area home to a number of boutiques and designer shops such as Hugo Boss, Levi’s and Colcci, it’s also abundant with cafés and inviting bookshops. If you find yourself enamoured with the flavours of Porto, head south west from Bolhao Metro and you’ll discover a handful of deli’s and food stores selling fresh produce including smoked meats, olives and cheese. One of the better shops from which to purchase arts and crafts is located just west of Porto Cathedral, where typical wares include puppets, pottery, toys and textiles. Eating & Drinking Both cities offer a variety of eateries ranging from low-key cafes to full-blown gastronomic experiences. Make a bee-line for the Barrio Alto and Chiado districts in Lisbon and you’ll find a number of family run restaurants with dishes of the day, advertised on the door. The neighbourhood’s cafés are perfect for a morning treat of fresh pastries and a strong espresso and after dark they come alive with pre-club revellers, friends, couples and families, all enjoying a relaxing drink under the stars. It’s been said, even by Lisboans, that if you like to eat, you have to visit Porto. Certainly in terms of quality and quantity, Porto’s portions are hard to match. The best examples of the city’s culinary heritage are situated around Matosinhos and two local specialities you may want to try are tripe and salted cod. Its best bars can be found on the north bank of the river around Rua Infante Dom Henrique. Getting Around If your hotel is in central Lisbon, you’ll probably want to see most of the sights on foot. From the Baixa district many are easily accessible. Hop-on, hop off tourist buses offer visitors a good way to see the sights.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the centre of Rome is liberally strewn with opulent fountains, monuments and staggering churches. Uli sse al Vi e Lie gi na Rome 109 Escape to Rome Sightseeing If you’re only in Rome for a couple of days, you’ll have to move fairly briskly to pack in all the sights. Near the top of your list will undoubtedly be the Coliseum, the roar of the crowd still resonating around this iconic building. The Sistine Chapel is also likely to be high on your schedule while the Basilica of St Peter’s will provide you with a breath-taking view of Rome’s astonishing architecture. Don’t forget to throw in a coin as you pass the Trevi Fountain, where Anita Ekberg famously danced in the film La Dolce Vita before heading down to the Forum and Palatine, where you can stand in the shadows of Roman emperors who commanded their empires from these impressive ruins. Much of Rome’s attraction is its accessibility on foot. Away from the tourist sites, you’ll quickly feel you’re in a small village, with narrow cobbled streets leading out onto small squares. Look to the sky as you meander through the side streets and you’ll be rewarded with pretty views of roof gardens, sculptures and enticing walkways through incredible courtyards.

Shopping Rome’s shopping is exuberant and diverse and holds all kinds of possibilities for the die-hard shopaholic. One of the worlds fashion capitals, you’ll find everything from clothing to antiques to jewellery and works of art. The two major shopping areas are around Via Condotti, equivalent to New York’s Fifth Avenue, where you’ll find the high-end designers and Via del Corso which provides more affordable clothing. Opened in 1887, La Rinascente is Rome’s first department store and stocks a good range of fashion, home and beauty products. Souvenirs and gifts can be bought at almost all the museums in the city; however these will tend to be fairly expensive. A better way of getting gifts for those back home is to visit the many stalls nearby offering tourist treasures at more reasonable prices. Eating & Drinking Useful Information Currency: Euro Time difference: GMT +1hr Flight time from London: 3 hrs Airports: Fiumicino/Leonardo da Vinci (FCO) is located 25km south-west of Rome Ciampino (CIA) is located 15km south-east of Rome When in Rome, for an authentic flavour of Italian cuisine, you’re likely to do far better away from the tourist traps. Finding these restaurants amidst the winding cobbled streets and small squares is a challenge in itself but around Monte Verde Vecchio, you’ll find a handful of restaurants serving traditional fare at sensible prices. Pizza is a cheap and tasty way to fill up and can be found throughout the city although you may want to avoid the tourist areas where you’ll often pay over the odds for inferior fare. Toppings are wonderfully regional and offer much more choice than just quattro formagio. Another shop sign to look out for is gelateria or ice cream parlour. Look for the signs produzione propria or nostra produzion indicating the ice cream is home-made and if you find yourself queuing with Italians and not tourists, you may well have struck gold. Italian coffee is rich, striking and sold in cafes all across the city with espresso the norm, served in miniature cups. The area is steeped in wine-making history and most wines you’ll find in restaurants are inexpensive and eminently drinkable. For after dinner dancing you might like to try the district of Testaccio, reached from the centre of town by Metro as far as the Piramide stop, while in the summer months, the party moves to Ostia on the coast. The towns young folk, tend to congregate in the San Lorenzo district, east of Termini Station where the pubs and clubs often have live music and reasonably priced bars while the Trastevere district homes many places to eat and drink and is also a great place just to walk amongst the crowded streets on a balmy midsummers night. Getting Around The city is served by a broad public transport network, which makes getting to and from the multitude of sights pretty easy going. Rome’s central bus and train stations (Stazione Termini) are a short walk from one another on Piazza dei Cinquecento. From here you can catch buses to destinations across the city with the last departing service around midnight. Buy tickets from kiosks or shops displaying a ‘T’ symbol before boarding. Rome’s Metro service operates from Stazione Termini, however you may find it bypasses much of what you plan to see. The tram service, like the Metro, tends to skirt the major attractions. cost 10p per minute plus network extras Call reservations on 0871 221 2828 Calls visit superbreak.com see your local travel agent 110 Rome Cristoforo Colombo Roma Hotel ++++ Rome Fiumicino 22 km Termini 2 km (Map ref: 1) Code Why we like it Enjoy the outdoor pool and lush gardens in the summer months A modern complex with marble funishings Location: Well positioned in the modern business district of Rome, within easy reach of the centre of the historic Eternal City.

Relax in Piazza San Marco, take a moonlit gondola ride or sample an original Bellini at Harry’s Bar. For airport hotels & parking visit superbreak.com Venice 121 Escape to Venice Sightseeing This city has so much to offer. Head to Rialto which is filled with market stalls and the Rialto Bridge offers a great viewpoint over The Grand Canal. Stand in the middle of the magnificent Piazza San Marco, ‘the drawing room of Europe’. The square is home to some of the city’s main attractions, the awesome St Mark’s Basilica, Torre dell’Orologio, a clock tower built between 1496 and 1506 and Doge’s Palace, once Venice’s political and judicial hub; the Bridge of Sighs connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms here. Climb the Campanile, at almost 325ft, it is the city’s tallest building, originally built between 888 and 912 and then rebuilt due to collapse in 1902. The view is superb, taking in the Lido, the whole lagoon and on a clear day the Dolomites are visible in the distance. Take in the unique and precious art. From the late Middle Ages until the mid 18th century, artists left their mark all over the city and works by Venice’s grand masters Titian (c1488-1576), Tintoretto (c1518-94), Canaletto (1697-1768) and Tiepolo (1727-1804) can still be viewed here today. See Titian’s glorious ‘Assumption’ above the high altar at I Frari, Tintoretto’s epic masterpiece ‘Crucifixion’ at Scuola Grande di San Rocco, and Tiepolo’s frescos at the Pietà and Ca’ Rezzonico. Plus no trip to Venice would be complete without a punt down one of the city’s picturesque canals in an iconic gondola. Pre-Bookable Tours Original Hidden Venice Walk Prices from: Adult £16, Child £9.50 Original Venice Walk Prices from: Adult £17.50, Child £11 How to get there Flight inclusive breaks from £150pp From prices are in £’s per person based on 2 adults sharing a room and include 3 night’s accommodation, return flights, taxes and a hold luggage allowance. Shopping Running down from the Piazza San Marco to the Rialto area, the Mercerie and the nearby Calle dei Fabbri have been the main shopping streets in Venice for hundreds of years. There are some interesting and more unusual shops to the west of San Marco, in Frezzeria. The upmarket stores are located along the Piazza to the Accademia Bridge. For souvenirs and gifts, one of the best places to go is the streets north of Campo Santo Stefano. The nearby island of Murano is the best place to go for Venetian glassware, where it has been made for over 700 years. Eating & Drinking There are two late-night drinking areas in Venice in either Campo Santa Margherita, near the University Ca’ Foscari in Dorsoduro; or in Erbaria on the West side of the Rialto Bridge. Although there are many fantastic bars in Venice, if you’re planning a night out you should plan a few places to visit in advance, otherwise it’s very easy to waste an hour wandering aimlessly. Locals in search of night-time entertainment head over the bridge into Mestre, or hop on a boat to Lido. Venice has some wonderful restaurants, featuring the cuisine of the Veneto. However it is widely regarded that the restaurants in Venice serve food of a quality much lower than anywhere else in Italy, especially in the tourist streets around San Marco. Near the Rialto Bridge there’s a row of restaurants with tables by the canal, where you can have the quintessential Venice experience of dining by the canal lights. Some serve acceptable quality food, but be prepared to pay the price. As in most places around the world the top tip for eating out in Venice is to head to where the locals eat. Venice Ghost Walk Prices from: Adult £16, Child £9.50 Venice Grand Canal Boat Tour Prices from: Adult/Child £32 Child ages vary, please check at time of booking Sample some of the traditional dishes from the Veneto – like freshwater lagoon fish, try the best polpette (meatballs) in Venice and a fantastic selection of Venetian antipasti, including raw seafood. Venetian drink specialties usually come with bubbles! A Spritz is an aperitif of white wine, Campari and a shot of sparkling water and Prosecco, a bubbly white wine made in the hills of the Veneto region. Most Venetians agree that some of the city’s best gelato is served in Boutique del Gelato, a tiny outlet on Salizzada San Lio. There is always a huge crowd waiting to be served but its well worth the wait. Getting Around Venice, the world’s only pedestrian city, is easily walkable. The city is not that big and you can walk from one end to the other in a few hours (if you stick to the paths marked with arrows in the direction of major landmarks). If you want to get around more quickly, there are numerous vaporetti (water buses) and water taxis. The vaporetti are generally the best way to get around and if you are planning on being in Venice for a few days it’s a lot cheaper than private water taxis. Water taxis or buses can be taken from Marco Polo Airport to your hotel or nearest canal access and take approximately 50 minutes.

Escape to Berlin Sightseeing Shopping Among your itinerary will no doubt be a visit to Checkpoint Charlie – the historical border crossing between West and East and a rendezvous for spies and other shady characters. Along the River Spree you’ll find what remains of the wall which once divided this city. Known affectionately as East Side Gallery, the wall is painted with murals and slogans, political and otherwise. Berlin’s annual film festival is one of the city’s major cultural events, rivalling Cannes and London in influence and importance. Shopping in Berlin is an all day event with many shops open daily until 8pm. Kurfürstendamm or Ku’Damm for short is the city’s main shopping district. Kaufhaus Des Westens is worth a visit to admire the vast food hall and it’s rumoured to be Europe’s largest department store. For upmarket shopping, head to Friedrichstraße in former East Berlin. Areas go in and out of fashion and in recent years, young designers have begun opening shops around Prenzlauer Berg and Kreuzberg however alternative fashionistas will still find plenty to admire around Hakesche Höfe. Berlin boasts a number of bric-a-brac markets, mostly occurring at weekends, the biggest being Straße des 17. Juni located between ErnstReuter-Haus and the S-Bahn station Tiergarten.

Getting Around Made for exploration on bike, Berlin has a well organised network of cycle lanes and paths spread across a wide geographical area. If you have time, why not try cycling from the heart of Berlin, east to Potsdam, where you’ll find lush green parks and beautiful still lakes. Berlin’s underground (U-Bahn) is the most efficient way to get around the city and if you’re planning to stay a few days, it’s a good idea to purchase a travel card. Compared to the U-Bahn, buses are slower and a less efficient way to get around. The exceptions are the yellow double-decker buses which run along route 100 or 200 passing many of the city’s attractions as they go. Eating & Drinking Going for a bite to eat in Berlin is inexpensive when compared to other European capitals. It’s also a carnivore’s dream, with stalls and kitchens turning out perennial favourite the currywurst (sausage covered in curry powder and ketchup) like there’s no tomorrow. On the go, another staple you may wish to try is of Turkish origins, the doner kebab. For more formal dining, Oranienburger Street is the place to be seen. After-dark entertainment is legendary in Berlin. Hakescher Market is the city’s most famed district with an array of bars, cabaret and nightclubs in which to while away the hours.

Escape to Athens Sightseeing Home to abundant archaeological treasures, you’ll most likely want to start at the Acropolis, a World Heritage Site dating back to the Bronze Age, and a potent symbol of where modern civilisation began. Plaka, the historic district surrounding the Acropolis is well-worth exploring. Delve beyond the tourist traps and you’ll discover a picturesque maze of narrow streets populated with whitewashed houses with vivid bougainvillea traipsed along the walls. It took 700 years to build the enormous Temple of Olympian Zeus and of the 104 original columns, only 15 survive. The Kanellopoulos Museum houses an extensive collection of jewellery, vases, weapons and figurines. Greece’s most renowned art gallery holds examples of byzantine art, leading twentieth century paintings and a number of masterpieces by the painter El Greco. Shopping Unlike many cities, Athens shops are mostly local, family run affairs and the super-sized shopping mall has yet to become dominant. Thus shopping is a much more interesting past time and offers consumers a lot more choice. Souvenir shops are aplenty in touristic areas where you’re likely to find reproductions of museum exhibits, embroideries and Greek food and drink. The Plaka district is where to find cheap models of the Acropolis with a few better quality shops scattered here and there, while for boutique shopping head to the Kolonaki district. One of Athens’ main shopping streets, Ermou Street, is the place to find clothes and accessory shops. Gift shops are also abundant, trading in ancient coins, pots, ceramics and designer clothes. Eating & Drinking Greeks love to socialize, and Athens continues to buzz, long after its European counterparts have gone to sleep. Psistaria are the Greek version of the steakhouse, often buffet style with the spit-roasted meat on display. Psarotaverna are restaurants specialising in seafood cuisine while tavernas are generally informal, less expensive and offer traditional fare. For good food on the go try a Souvlaki, consisting of grilled meat, sliced tomato and onion, tzatziki (yoghurt, garlic and cucumber) and French-fries wrapped inside a pita bread. 8 pm is the earliest Greeks think about going out. Cafés spill out onto the pavements and lively conversation reverberates around the squares. Bars and pubs in Psirri, one of the capital’s most lively districts, tend to get started around 10pm while clubs don’t start before 12pm. Gkazi is one of the city’s up and coming neighbourhoods with many clubs taking over abandoned industrial factories. Getting Around For walkers, Athens roads have improved greatly since the 2004 Olympic Games. Many roads have been pedestrianised enabling visitors to walk unhindered between sites of major archaeological interest such as the Acropolis and Herodion Theatre. That said, Athens’ traffic is still best avoided and its public transportation – trams, buses and metro – How to get there Flight inclusive breaks from £176pp From prices are in £’s per person based on 2 adults sharing a room and include 3 night’s accommodation, return flights, taxes and a hold luggage allowance. are an efficient and affordable way to get around. If you’re in town for more than a couple of days, you may like to get a weekly pass for around ½10 which gives you unlimited access to all these services. Three tram lines connect the centre of town with southern districts while the Metro runs from the port of Piraeus in the South to the city centre, the Airport in the East and north to the suburb of Kiffisia.

Tailor made for travellers, there’s plenty to explore amidst the labyrinthine souks and dramatic Atlas Mountains. How to get there Flight inclusive breaks from £196pp Escape to Marrakech Sightseeing Visitors to Marrakech are well served by companies offering tours to the Atlas Mountain range often with additional camel trekking or mountain biking. Go with the flow in the exhilarating Djemaa el-Fna, the city’s main square, which comes alive at night with amusements, street shows, music and open air restaurants. The city’s souks are an explosion of smells, tastes and colour and though their maze-like layout Pre-Bookable Tours Historical Tour Marrakech (1/2 day) Prices from: £36.85pp Historical Tour Marrakech (1 day) includes lunch Prices from: £91.25pp Ourika Valley Prices from: £48.75pp Fantasia Dinner Prices from: £52pp Magic Ouzoud Falls includes lunch Prices from: £92.95 Essaouira Prices from: £93.95 Moroccan Diner Prices from: £31.85 Quad Tour Prices from: £64.50 Camel Ride Prices from: £35.25 Plate of the Kik includes lunch Prices from: £131.50 Ouarzazate (1 day) includes lunch Prices from: £108.85 Spa Prices from: £61.75 Child ages vary, please check at time of booking may seem daunting, they’re well worth exploring on your break in the city. For a truly authentic experience, head to one of the city’s many hammams to experience absolute relaxation the Moroccan way. Shopping Shopping in Marrakech takes a little getting used to, but once you’ve mastered the art of haggling (in Morocco it’s rude not to) you’ll start to understand what makes the souks so exciting. Friendly banter is all part of the game and though at first it might seem overwhelming to those used to loyalty cards and serene checkout queues, retail Moroccan style has a life and energy all of its own. Around the clock, the souks leading from Djemaa el-Fna resonate to the sound of industrious craftsmen. Take your time to visit the blacksmiths fashioning gifts out of bike parts or the freshly dyed cloths laid out to dry under the clear Moroccan sky. If boutiques are your thing, the city boasts a number of shops located around Rue de la Liberte and the Mouassine district. Expect to pay more than you would in the souks but typically, much less than you would back home. Souvenirs you might consider are table cloths, thought to bring good luck to your home, silk slippers and intricate jewellery. Eating & Drinking As evening’s entertainment goes, Djemaa El-Fna is hard to beat. The hundred-or so restaurants which set up camp each evening on the city’s main square, serve a wide variety of street food from From prices are in £’s per person based on 2 adults sharing a room and include 3 night’s accommodation, return flights, taxes and a hold luggage allowance. grilled meats to salads to seafood and tagines. Aside from the Djemaa street vendors, restaurants typically feature French or Italian cuisine. For true Moroccan dishes head to Ksar Essaoussan which offers a fixed price menu and rooftop views across the sparkling city or alternatively dine on a Hollywood set at Dar Es-Salam which featured in the film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. Getting Around The easiest way to get around Marrakech is on foot, safe in the knowledge you’ll be experiencing the city up close. For short hops around town try the local taxis and if you’re looking to explore beyond the city limits, the mainline rail station runs services to Morocco’s other major cities with varying frequencies of service. Car hire facilities can be found mainly near the airport however this is invariably a pricey option and a war of nerves against the unruly local traffic.

Superbreak Mini-Holidays Limited is part of the Cox & Kings group. Please read them carefully as they set out our respective rights and obligations. All bookings are subject to these Booking Conditions. Where we arrange travel arrangements for you the relevant operator’s conditions of carriage will apply to your booking. Our contract will apply to the services we provide to you in arranging your flight or other travel arrangements (including agency services) however if there is any conflict between our contract and the operator’s conditions of carriage, the operator’s conditions of carriage will take priority. Package Holidays If you book a package holiday through us, once your package holiday has been confirmed we will accept responsibility for it in accordance with these Booking Conditions as an “organiser” under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992. A “package holiday” is a combination of at least two out of (a) transport, (b) accommodation or (c) other tourist services (not ancillary to any transport or accommodation and forming a significant part of the arrangements) where booked through us at the same time, for which payment is made to us and which last at least 24 hours or include overnight accommodation. Groups Group reservations of 10 or more adults or 5 or more rooms are subject to different terms and conditions, a copy of which is available on request. 1. Making your booking The party leader must be authorised to make the booking on the basis of these Booking Conditions by all persons named on the booking and by their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. The party leader is responsible for making all payments due to us. The party leader must be at least 18 when the booking is made. When making a booking, you must pay to us the payments referred to in clause 2 below. If you book with us on line via a website, at the end of the booking process, you are asked to confirm that you have read and agree with our Booking Conditions. The final page gives you a booking reference which is your confirmation, which we will reconfirm to you if you have provided your email address. If booking by telephone or any other communication channel, on receipt of your booking and all appropriate payments we will, subject to availability, confirm your holiday by issuing a confirmation invoice to the party leader or travel agent. Please check any documentation carefully as soon as you receive it. Contact us immediately if any information which appears on the confirmation or any other document appears to be incorrect or incomplete as it may not be possible to make changes later. 2. Payment Full payment is required at the time of booking For flight inclusive bookings, all monies paid to any authorised travel agent of ours for your holiday with us will be held on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust subject to the travel agent’s obligation to pay such monies to us in accordance with our trading terms unless we fail. In the unlikely event of our financial failure, all monies then held by the travel agent or subsequently paid by you to the travel agent will be held by the agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust without any obligation on the agent to pay such monies to us. For holidays which do not include flights arranged by us, all monies you pay to one of our authorised travel agents for your holiday with us will be held by the agent on your behalf until we issue our confirmation invoice. After that point, your agent will hold the monies on our behalf. 3. Your contract A binding contract between us comes into existence when either we dispatch our confirmation invoice or, for on line bookings, when the final page of the booking confirmation procedure gives you a booking reference. We reserve the right to decline any booking at our discretion. This contract and all matters arising out of it are governed by English law. We both agree that any dispute, claim or other matter which arises out of or in connection with this contract or your holiday will be dealt with by the Courts of England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland as appropriate. Changes to these Booking Conditions will only be valid if agreed by us in writing. 4. The cost of your holiday There are different ways of confirming the final price of your holiday depending upon whether you book by telephone or on line. By Telephone We reserve the right to increase or decrease the prices of unsold breaks at any time. The price of your chosen break will be confirmed at the time of booking. We reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices. We will do so as soon as we become aware of the error. Accommodation rates and meals as described in the accommodation entry may not apply over Easter/Christmas/New Year or certain dates associated with special events. Online The prices shown on our website are for guidance only until you enter our secure server, when the rates shown are guaranteed, subject to reasonableness with regard to any rates shown that are clearly incorrect. A total price of your chosen break will be given before you confirm your booking which you may accept or not. Please note, the information and prices shown in brochures may have changed by the time you come to book your holiday. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the brochure and prices at the time of printing, regrettably changes and errors do occasionally occur. You must therefore ensure you check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us or your travel agent at the time of booking. Price changes If changes to transportation costs, taxes, dues, fees or exchange rates arise before your departure date, we may pass on differences in cost after you have booked. We will absorb an increase of up to 2% of the cost of your holiday (excluding insurance premiums and amendment fees). However, there will be no price change within 30 days of your departure date. 5. Changes by you Should you wish to make any changes to your confirmed break, you must notify us (by post, telephone or email) as soon as possible. If a person is prevented from travelling, we will agree to that person’s booking being transferred to another person who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the booking, subject to both persons accepting joint and several liability for full payment of the booking and our charge for confirming the transfer and any additional costs arising from the transfer. Whilst we will endeavour to assist, we cannot guarantee we will be able to meet any such requests. Where we can, an amendment fee of £15 per amendment (unless it is to increase the value of the booking) will be payable together with any costs incurred by ourselves and any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers. Any alteration requested by you on the day of travel (or in the case of overseas bookings, within 7 days of travel) will be treated as a cancellation by you and you will have to pay the cancellation charges set out in clause 6. Changes by you for flight, Eurostar or ferry inclusive packages Should you wish to make any changes to or cancel your confirmed flight, Eurostar or ferry inclusive break, you must notify us (by post, telephone or email) as soon as possible. The following charges will be applied in relation to changes (cancellation charges are set out in paragraph 6 below):Passenger name changes - £100 per name + any difference in price between the original booking and the price prevailing at the time of the change in relation to the new booking. Date changes - £80 per person + any difference in price between the original booking and the price prevailing at the time of the change in relation to the new booking. We are unable to allow requests for changes to departure airport or destination and 100% cancellation costs apply. 6. Cancellation by you Should you or any member of your party need to cancel your booking once it has been confirmed, the party leader must immediately advise us (by post, telephone or email). Cancellations made directly with the accommodation, transport or ancillary provider will not be effective. The following cancellation charges will be payable. Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges. Insurance premiums and amendment charges are not refundable or transferable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling.

However, we will, where possible seek to mitigate the charge by reselling any appropriate element of the break, although this may not be possible in all circumstances. ii) We cannot be held liable for the cancellation of a show/event or the non-appearance of any particular cast member in a theatrical performance. If there is a significant change to your booking as a result of one of the aforementioned circumstances, we will firstly provide you with as much notice as possible (unless the significant change has happened on the day of the show/event/ activity experience). You can then choose between accepting the change/ alternative offered or cancelling the booking, in which case we will refund you in full for any monies paid. b) Children’s Prices please ask for details. Where applicable, any rail tickets you have purchased through us must be returned to us unused and at your expense within 28 days of the date of cancellation before any refund can be given. We recommend that you send the unused tickets to us by a secure postal method as no refund will be given if the unused tickets are not received by us. Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/ or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we will recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly. Depending on the reason for cancellation, you may be able to reclaim these cancellation charges (less any applicable excess) under the terms of your insurance policy. Claims must be made directly to the insurance company concerned. 7. Insurance We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential. All premiums must be paid at the time of booking, as cover will not be effective until we receive all applicable premiums in full. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs. 8. Changes and cancellation by us Occasionally, we have to make changes to and correct errors in brochure and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed and cancel confirmed bookings and we must reserve the right to do so. Occasionally, we have to make a “significant change”. “Significant changes” include the following changes when made before departure; a change of UK airport, a significant change of your destination, a change of accommodation to that of a lower classification or standard for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of accommodation area for the whole or a major part of the time you are away, a change of departure time by more than 12 hours or a cost increase of more than 10%. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we will offer you the choice of the following options:sFORSIGNIlCANTCHANGESACCEPTINGTHECHANGEDARRANGEMENTSOR sPURCHASINGANALTERNATIVEBREAKFROMUSOFASIMILARSTANDARDTOTHAT originally booked if available (subject to you paying any price differential between the two holidays). If the chosen alternative is less expensive than your original one, we will refund the difference. sCANCELLINGORACCEPTINGTHECANCELLATIONINWHICHCASEYOUWILLRECEIVEAFULL and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us. Please note the above options are not available where any change made is a minor one. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we will pay you compensation where appropriate and depending on the circumstances and the length of time before your holiday we notify you of the significant change or cancellation, subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care. No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available if (1) we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or (2) we have to cancel because the minimum number of bookings necessary for us to operate your holiday has not been reached - in this case we will however, give you at least 7 days’ notice. In all cases, our liability for significant changes and cancellations is limited to offering you the above mentioned options and, where applicable, compensation. We regret we are not in a position to offer you any assistance in the event of delay at your outward or homeward point of departure. 9. Force Majeure Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss (as more fully described in clause 10(1) below) as a result of “force majeure”. In these Booking Conditions, “force majeure” means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include, whether actual or threatened, war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control. 10. Our Liability to you (1) We promise to make sure that all parts of the break we have agreed to arrange, perform or provide as part of our contract with you are arranged, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. We will accept responsibility if any death, personal injury, failure or deficiency of your arrangements is caused by any failure by ourselves or our employees (providing they were at the time acting within the course of their employment) and (but only if you have booked a package holiday from us), our agents or suppliers (as applicable) to use reasonable skill and care in performing or providing the service in question. Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim. We will not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: sTHEFAULTOFTHEPERSONSAFFECTEDORANYMEMBERSOFTHEIRPARTYOR sTHEFAULTOFATHIRDPARTYNOTCONNECTEDWITHTHEPROVISIONOFYOURBREAKWHICH we could not have predicted or avoided or sANEVENTORCIRCUMSTANCEWHICHWEORTHESUPPLIEROFTHESERVICESIN question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see clause 9) sTHEFAULTOFANYONEWHOISNOTCARRYINGOUTWORKFORUSGENERALLYORIN particular) at the time. In addition, we will not be responsible where you do not enjoy your break or suffer any problems because of a reason you did not tell us about when you booked your break or where any problems you suffer did not result from any breach of our contract or other fault of ourselves or, if you have booked a package holiday from us and we were responsible for them, our suppliers or agents or where any losses, expenses, costs or other sum you have suffered relate to any business. We cannot accept responsibility for any services which do not form part of our contract. This includes, for example, any additional services or facilities which your accommodation provider or any other supplier agrees to provide for you where the services or facilities are not advertised in our brochure or on our website and we have not agreed to arrange them. (2) The promises we make to you about the services we have agreed to provide or arrange as part of our contract - and the laws and regulations of the country in which your claim or complaint occurred if not the UK - will be used as the basis for deciding whether the services in question had been properly provided. If the particular services which gave rise to the claim or complaint complied with local laws and regulations applicable to those services at the time, the services will be treated as having been properly provided. This will be the case even if the services did not comply with the laws and regulations of the UK which would have applied had those services been provided in the UK. The exception to this is where the claim or complaint concerns the absence of a safety feature which might lead a reasonable holiday maker to refuse to take the holiday in question. (3) Where any claim or part of a claim concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, road or rail carrier or any stay in accommodation which we agree to supply to you as part of our contract, the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or accommodation provider concerned would have to pay under the international convention which applies to the travel arrangements or accommodation stay in question (copies available on request). Please note: Where a carrier or accommodation provider would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we similarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport or accommodation provider for the complaint or claim in question. (4) You must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require. You must also tell us and the supplier concerned about your claim or complaint as set out in clause 11 below. If asked to do so, you must transfer to us or our insurers any rights you have against the supplier or whoever else is responsible for your claim or complaint (if the person concerned is under 18, their parent or guardian must do so). You must also agree to cooperate fully with us and our insurers if we or our insurers want to enforce any rights which are transferred. 11. Complaints and problems In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your break whilst away, you must immediately inform the supplier of the service(s) in question. Any verbal notification must be put in writing and given to the supplier as soon as possible. If you are still dissatisfied, you must notify us at the earliest opportunity. Until we know about a problem or complaint, we cannot begin to resolve it. If you remain dissatisfied, however, you must write to our Customer Relations Manager within 28 days of the end of the break you have purchased from us giving your booking reference and full details of your complaint. In the event that you do not notify us of the complaint within the above period, this may affect the company’s ability to investigate complaints and may impact on the way that your complaint is dealt with. 12. Behaviour When you book with us, you accept responsibility for any damage or loss caused by you or any member of your party. Full payment for any such cost 10 per minute plus network extras Call reservations on 0871 221 2828 Calls damage or loss must be paid direct at the time to the accommodation owner or manager or other supplier. If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for meeting any claims subsequently made against us (together with our own and the other party’s full legal costs) as a result of your actions. We expect all clients to have consideration for other people. If in our reasonable opinion or in the reasonable opinion of any other person in authority, you or any member of your party behaves in such a way as to cause or be likely to cause danger, upset or distress to any third party or damage to property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to terminate the holiday of the person(s) co ncerned. In this situation, the person(s) concerned will be required to leave the accommodation or other service. We will have no further responsibility toward such person(s) including any return travel arrangements. No refunds will be made and we will not pay any expenses or costs incurred as a result of the termination. 13. Conditions of suppliers Many of the services which make up your break are provided by independent suppliers (for example, where applicable, rail carriers, airlines and accommodation owners). Those suppliers provide these services in accordance with their own terms and conditions. Some of these terms and conditions may limit or exclude the supplier’s liability to you, usually in accordance with applicable International Conventions (see clause 10 (3)). Copies of the relevant parts of these terms and conditions are available on request from the supplier concerned. 14. Special requests and medical problems If you have any special request, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass any reasonable requests on to the relevant supplier, we regret we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Failure to meet any special request will not be a breach of contract on our part. Confirmation that a special request has been noted or passed on to the supplier or the inclusion of the special request on your confirmation invoice or any other documentation is not confirmation that the request will be met. Unless and until specifically confirmed, all special requests are subject to availability. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability which may affect your holiday, please tell us before you confirm your booking so we can assist you in considering the suitability of your booking. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking. If we reasonably feel unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we must reserve the right to decline their reservation or, if full details are not given at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware of these details. 15. Passports, visas and health requirements You should check the passport, visa and health requirements which are applicable to the country(ies) which you intend to visit. Requirements may change and you must check the up to date position in good time before departure. For British Citizens, information on health is contained in the Department of Health leaflet T6 (Health Advice for Travellers) available from your local Department of Health office and most Post Offices. For European holidays you should obtain a European Health Insurance Card - EHIC (details in leaflet T6 referred to above) prior to departure. It is the party leader’s responsibility to ensure that all members of the party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents before departure. All costs incurred in obtaining such documentation must be paid by you. We regret we cannot accept any liability if you are refused entry onto any transport or into any country due to failure on your part to carry correct documentation. If failure to have any necessary travel or other documents results in fines, surcharges or other financial penalty being imposed on us, you will be responsible for reimbursing us accordingly. 16. Financial security Superbreak Mini-Holidays Ltd holds an Air Travel Organiser’s Licence issued by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) (ATOL number 10518). This means the package holidays inclusive of air travel are ATOL protected. We, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL Certificate will provide you with the services listed on the ATOL Certificate (or a suitable alternative). In some cases, where neither we nor the supplier are able to do so for reasons of insolvency, an alternative ATOL holder may provide you with services you have bought or a suitable alternative (at no extra cost to you). You agree to accept that in those circumstances the alternative ATOL holder will perform those obligations and you agree to pay any money outstanding to be paid by you under your contract to that alternative ATOL holder. However, you also agree that in some cases it will not be possible to appoint an alternative ATOL holder, in which case you will be entitled to make a claim under the ATOL scheme (or your credit card issuer where applicable). For further information, visit the ATOL website at www.atol.org.uk. For non flight-inclusive package holidays only we hold a bond with ABTA. This arrangement means your money will be refunded or you will be brought back to the UK (where your contracted holiday arrangements include return travel to the UK) if already abroad in the unlikely event of our being unable to provide your break due to our insolvency. For accommodation only bookings overseas, all customer monies are held in a Trust Account approved by Trading Standards and reviewed by our auditors. This arrangement means your money for this type of booking will be refunded in the unlikely event of our being unable to provide your accommodation due to our insolvency. Airline failure Your holiday is protected in the event of failure of your airline. In the unlikely event that the airline that you are travelling with ceases trading during your holiday, you must contact us, in order that we can make alternative arrangements. We will not be liable for any additional costs incurred if you make your own arrangements. 17. Safety standards Please note, it is the requirements and standards of the country in which any services which make up your holiday are provided which apply to those services and not those of the UK. As a general rule, these requirements and standards will not be the same as the UK and may sometimes be lower. 18. Accommodation Breaks - Minimum stay and meals Certain breaks / accommodation may require minimum lengths of stay. Where an accommodation provider offers dinner this may be table d’hote, a carvery or may sometimes be in the form of an allowance against the à la carte menu. Some accommodation providers offer continental breakfast only. This normally consists of coffee or tea and bread rolls. 19. Saver Offers Where an accommodation provider features more than one offer at any one time (including 7 nights for 6), it may not always be possible to combine them - normally the most advantageous offer will be allowed. (7 nights for 6 prices shown do not include single supplements, which are charged in addition where applicable.) All offers are subject to availability (and are not usually available over Easter/Christmas/New Year), and may be withdrawn at any time. 20. Children and Infants Any policy regarding special rates for children and infants is set out in our brochure or is available on request. However, wherever possible children stay free or at 50% of the adult price and exact prices will be confirmed when booking. Free children rates do not normally include meals which are normally paid direct to the accommodation provider as taken. If you contravene this policy a supplement may be payable to us or to our suppliers directly so that the correct price for the relevant service is paid. At some accommodation children may be charged a flat rate for meals, whether taken or not. Where children only pay 50% of the adult rate, half portions will be served for the meals included in the package price. Certain accommodations may apply restricted access times for children into leisure facilities - please ask for details at the time of booking. 21. UK Rail Inclusive Breaks Rail inclusive breaks can be booked on line for most of our UK accommodation. Rail may be booked without accommodation to certain UK airport stations only if you are going onto travel outside of the UK. Please note that you may be asked to produce either your flight tickets or your Superbreak confirmation by ticket inspectors. Bookings must not be made for travel within 3 working days of booking as tickets are dispatched from our office and cannot be collected at rail stations. Some rail inclusive offers that feature in our brochures cannot be booked on line and you need to call us to add these offers to your booking.

Rail tickets are not transferable and are not valid for break of journey. Rail inclusive breaks are offered by Superbreak Mini-Holidays Limited and NOT by ATOC, Train Operating Companies or the Secretary of State for Transport. The Double Arrows symbol is a trademark owned by the Secretary of State for Transport. 22.
