New Destinations Amsterdam Airport Schiphol

Inspiration for your next holiday

Now we’re in the midst of #autumn, the summer holiday seems a long way away. A good time to start thinking about your next trip! Perhaps you already have #travel plans for this year, or maybe you’re looking at the options for 2023. This autumn, we're adding some new direct #destinations that are definitely worth considering.

City trip to cultural hub Aarhus

Scandinavia is becoming more and more popular as a holiday destination. #Aarhus is joining Copenhagen, Billund and Aalborg on our list of Danish destinations. It’s a one-hour flight away and therefore a great city trip. In the ARoS art museum you’ll find a large collection of modern and contemporary art. If you prefer to go back in time, walk through Den Gamle By (the old town) – an open-air museum that houses a collection of 75 historical buildings from across #Denmark. You can also enjoy wandering through the cozy streets of the city centre. Be sure not to miss the colourful M?llestien! For food and drink, head over to Aarhus Street Food. In this former bus garage you will find stalls with delicacies from all corners of the world.

Katowice, creative industrial city

#Katowice, in south-eastern #Poland, grew into a city thanks to industry. You can learn all about that at the Silesian Museum, located at the site of an old coal mine. Permanent and temporary exhibitions tell you about the history of the city and the Silesia region, but there’s also a look to the future with modern art installations. On the edge of town you’ll find the distinctive neighbourhood of Nikiszowiec. This area used to house factory workers, but it’s now a trendy and creative place full of restaurants and bars. Creativity can be found everywhere in Katowice and there are impressive murals dotted around the city. A great way to discover them is by going on a street art tour. Another, almost otherworldly, eye-catcher is the Spodek Arena that looms up in the centre of the city like a kind of flying saucer. Concerts, sports competitions and events are held here.
