A statue of Miffy in Utrecht
A very sleek-looking mid-century railcar at the Railway Museum in Utrecht
Shadowy people walking through a brick tunnel lit with multicoloured lights
A historic city with a canal running through it. The canal is at a lower level than the street.
Thinking about a day trip from Amsterdam? Try Utrecht. Canals, cafés, Miffy, seriously amazing museums, a gorgeous library, an arty light trail and the tallest church tower in the Netherlands.
If you like Japan, and you like trains, especially abandoned ones, you'll enjoy this as much as I did www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10...

Hello, I'm Helen and I'm a trainspotter, so going on a bullet train was obviously a non-negotiable for my quick trip to Japan!
Luckily I found some great short bullet train trips from Tokyo 🚅

Had a wonderful time from up in the balcony. Loved the songs from The Last Flight, especially A different kind of love, so emotional 😭🥹
I was the same but it was weirdly easy (although I had spent months reading advice). Transport is super easy, there's always a 7-11 for something to eat and everyone I met was incredibly gracious and forgiving when I did things wrong
That sounds fabulous, would love to see Alaska
We'll only have one day in Andorra but do you have any recommendations?
Madeira is wonderful, enjoy! Hope you have a lovely birthday!
Those all sound amazing! I'm just back from Japan and desperate to go back
What trips does everyone have planned for 2025? I'm heading to Tirana in Albania in March, then Barcelona>Andorra>Bordeaux in April

A Christmas tree bauble with a picture of the Titanic museum in Belfast
A1 I'm another one who brings back a decoration for the Christmas tree, and a magnet of course! This is the most recent one.
A wooden onsen hot spring bath with a view of a lake, with Mount Fuji and a red Torii gate in the background
Still can't quite believe this pic is real or that I got to stay here!
A private onsen with a view of Mount Fuji, Lake Ashi and the Hakone Shrine's lakeside Torii gate 😍

In November I flew KLM Premium Comfort (their premium economy class) for the 13 hour journey to Tokyo.
Here's my review of the experience: www.helenonherholidays.com/klm-premium-...

Day 1 in Tokyo, first stop the giant 3D cat billboard in Shinjuku.

Got my first view of Mount Fuji before I'd even landed in Tokyo 🥹

Thank you 😊
Just looked it up, the ferry we were on was withdrawn in 1996 and now I feel ancient 😂 we were in a camper van and had a great time
Would love to join, I've shared the pack 🙂
Newcastle, we were going to Legoland and up to Skagen. It was a long time ago, I'm not sure if that route still operates
We got the ferry there when I was a kid, I remember my dad also saying how it has the longest shopping street in Denmark. Sounds like there's a lot more to it though 🙂
Done! I couldn't get sunset tickets but it should still be a great view 🤩
Thank you, that's a great list!
Thank you!
Would love to be added, I'm a travel blogger from Manchester, UK. I mostly write about short breaks in Europe
A brightly lit Christmas tree and fairground rides at night
The entrance to the Tivoli theme park in Copenhagen, lit up for Christmas
Probably only my local one in Manchester this year but I'm here for the inspo!
My favourite was Copenhagen, the Tivoli park was wonderfully festive 😍
Just Tokyo with a couple of day trips, but I'm sure it'll still be amazing even if we don't have time to get down to Kyoto and Osaka. Do you have anything planned?
Japan, so excited! It's been a dream destination for as long as I can remember
I've only been to Dublin in the south but that all sounds amazing. Love the kayak and castle picture!
