Drive route 66, see a Broadway show, walk the Great Wall… travel experiences to leap into

Last updated Feb 29, 2024

As 2024 is a leap year we've all got an extra day to play with. More time for holidays, right?

So what better time to dust off that travel wish list and leap into something totally new this year - whether it's visiting one of the wonders of the world, going for a hike in spectacular surroundings, spending Christmas on the beach, cocktail in hand, or winning flights to one of the planet's most iconic cities.

Granted, you'll need more than your one extra day to tick these experiences off, but the more time the merrier!

🚗 Start your Route 66 adventure in Chicago and explore the States.

For many people this is the ultimate travel experience. There's probably no better way to explore the US. Start your Route 66 adventure in Chicago and set off across the States - taking in some of the most famous sights along the way.

Don't just use the Windy City as the start point to your road trip though. Make the most of Chicago while you're there. Cheer on Chicago Bulls, go see the Cubs, and grab a slice of the deep dish pizza the city does so well - you'll be blown away.

A trip here and you'll be falling for Canada in a hurry. Niagara Falls in full flow is something to behold - and you can see it up close on one of the regular boat tours. Just remember your waterproofs!

Don't forget to head to the observation deck 'behind the falls'. To get there you'll need to make your way through 130-year-old tunnels from which you can actually feel the vibrations.
