Welcome Senior Travellers!
And anyone else of whatever age who enjoys the thrills of travelling.
As a senior citizen you probably will have more time for travel than when younger and busy working. The whole world awaits you, but where to go?
It depends of course on many factors. Are you looking for Short Breaks of just a few days or longer term Touring Holidays?
There is of course much to see and do in the UK, including visiting the many English Heritage, National Trust and Historic Houses sites. And don’t forget the National Trust for Scotland and Historic Environment Scotland sites. Check our Special Offers for annual membership, including gift membership.
Or are you thinking in terms of the European continent by road, rail or air.
Or a long haul flight to some distant destination – Australia, South America? Why not a Round the World trip? I’ve now made three since retiring, over 30 days, 40 days and 50 days. So learn from my experiences, generally very positive, but not always!
If you like to stray a bit, then Off the Beaten Track may have some ideas for you.
In visiting 83 countries around the world, I’ve had a very wide range of holidays and visited some weird and some wonderful places. Many of these trips have been since my retirement, with all the advantages that being a Senior can bring.
My travel experiences, along with those of my fellow editors and those of contributors to our writing competitions, provide a massive collection of travel ideas on this website.
See our our most Recent Posts in the sidebar, or footer-bar on a mobile phone, or click on the Search icon top right to check out the whole website.
Aspects that are particularly relevant to Seniors, including any special discounts and deals, are highlighted – including often hidden Hotel Senior Discounts.
Also check out our Road Travel Tips (including car hire recommendations), Air Travel Tips and Rail Travel Discounts for Seniors.
Don’t miss out on my Top Ten Lists which cover my top ten choices of each of Cities, Favourite Hotels, Gardens, German Cities, Road Journeys, Small Islands, Stately Homes in England and Winter Breaks.
Our Book Reviews will provide you with some inspiring travel ideas and our Photography articles will help you record memories from your travels.
