Vacation planning

If this is your first time planning a holiday, or you just feel overwhelmed with the endless number of options, Locanto is here to help! The first step is to decide on your location and book flights or sort out your transportation to get there. You can do this on your own, or contact a travel agent under the Travel Services category to help you plan your holiday. Once you have your holiday spot in mind, then it’s time to find somewhere to stay in the area. Browse through listings in Holiday Rentals, but make sure to adjust your search and filter by the country you will be visiting. There are pros and cons to each rental property choice, so it just depends on what kind of holiday you are aiming for.

Many tourists love staying in a luxurious hotel suite, but others would rather live like a local. Vacation apartments are a great option in that case. They are usually more spacious than hotels and have kitchens to cook in. You can often find apartments in great central locations to easily get around in. If you are interested in a more secluded stay where you can relax and rejoice, a bungalow or beach house may be up your alley. If you are traveling in a group, sharing one large holiday house is a great choice. But keep in mind that the perfect home may be a bit far from tourist destinations. It would be a good idea to sort out a car rental or find a trustworthy taxi service beforehand.

The next step would be to plan your daily activities. Some people like to schedule every day down to the very minute so no time is wasted, while others prefer to take it easy and figure it out day by day. It is a personal choice, but in most cases, it’s good to at least have a guideline of things to do.

If you need some inspiration for entertainment in the area, check the Events category and browse by location. You can find anything from concerts, and sporting events, to comedy shows and cultural events in this category. If you want to treat yourself to some local shows it is recommended to buy tickets in advance to ensure you get the best seats for the best prices.

Get everything you need before you go

Are you preparing for a sunny holiday in a luxe beach house? Check out the Fashion & Beauty category to grab a pair of men’s swim trunks or a women’s swimsuit or bikini. You will likely want to have a few different options if you plan to spend every day laying on the beach. You can also pick up some sunscreen from the Health & Beauty Products category, or take a peek at Accessories & Jewellery to snag a pair of designer sunglasses or a wide-brimmed hat. If you have a more active holiday planned, check out the Sports & Outdoors section to find equipment for camping; including sleeping bags, tents, kayaks, fishing gear, and more!

You should also sort out all preparations for your time away from home. If you have a pet you are leaving behind, you can find an excellent dog boarding service in Pet Services, or contact a local pet sitter who can take care of your furry friend. If you would like someone to look after your home while you’re gone, you may have some luck finding a house sitter under Household Help & Odd Jobs in the Community category. Although a more lucrative option would be to post an ad here and offer your home as a short-term holiday rental for the dates you will be gone. That way you can make some extra money while enjoying your holiday!
