Always, always pack an international travel adapter plug and more than one! You could find one while overseas, but they can be quite expensive and may not be compatible with your devices. Also, never travel without a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated.

Frequently asked questions

It’s the kind of vacation you can sip, snack, nap and repeat without having to carry your credit card around in your bathers. All-inclusive gives you the freedom of knowing exactly how much it’s going to cost rather than getting any nasty surprises at the end.

As soon as you dream it, book it! For the best range, availability and pricing, it’s best to book in advance as they get snapped up faster than you can say “another mojito, please”. If you’re more of a spontaneous traveller, we do have some last-minute options for those spontaneous trips.

It’s easy peasy lemon squeezy – you can book in-store, online, via the phone, homing pigeon, or you can start the process by enquiring online and one of our Travel Experts will get back to you ASAP! We’re joking about the pigeon by the way, they are nearly impossible to track down these days.

Absolutely! All-inclusive vacations are the perfect opportunity to indulge and treat yourself a little more than you normally would. Go ahead, enjoy that extra cocktail (or two) by the pool – it’s all included, baby!

Indeed, it does! We’re talking flights, accommodation, transfers, food, drinks, activities and even kids club all wrapped into one convenient package deal.

That’s the beauty of all-inclusive – all you need to do is decide the destination and leave the rest to us! We’ll do the hard yards to sort your flights, accommodation, transfers and all the boring bits, leaving you free to plan your vacation outfits.

Multi-centre holiday inspiration

See more of the world than you could ever imagine

If one destination is simply not enough, our multi centre holidays let you travel across two or more places - so you can enjoy twice the holiday. Get the best of both worlds on a twin centre holiday, or take a blockbuster trip with our multi destination holidays.

Take on an action-packed adventure

Ready to hit multiple countries and dozens of cities on one spectacular trip? Join us for the ride! Our multi centre holidays take the stress out of travel planning while squeezing the most out of your trip. Our Travel Directors know all the best travel routes to hit all the iconic highlights, plus the hidden gems that only the locals know.

Immerse yourself in our two centre holidays

If you’re dreaming of adventure, but you also want some time to relax, our twin centre holidays serve up the best of both worlds. You could see the best of Italy and Greece, hit the highlights of Spain and Portugal, explore the wonders of Switzerland and Austria, or travel along the east coast of Canada and the USA.

Optional Experiences to customize your trip

Our multi destination holidays give you the freedom to do as little, or as much, as you like! Tick off even more of your bucket list goals, with Optional Experiences like witnessing a flamenco show in Seville, cruising Venice’s dreamy canals on a gondola, exploring the spectacular fjords of Norway, or riding a train across the iconic Bernina Pass in Switzerland.

The best multi-country trips unlocked for you

Enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences and uncover local secrets when our friends across the country open their doors to you. Here’s just a sample of the rich experiences you can expect.

0:00 / 0:00

Want to learn how to wine taste the Tuscan way?

Want to learn about Black Forest craftmanship?

All you need to know about multi-centre holidays, how do i plan a multi centre holiday.

The easiest way to plan a multi destination holiday is to first pick your dream destinations that tick off all your bucket list travel goals. Check out our multi centre holidays for inspiration, then all you have to do is choose your favourite Trafalgar trip, book your flights, pack your bags, and you’re on your way to explore the world!

Is twin city and multi centre holiday the same?

A multi centre and twin centre holiday are very similar. The only difference is that a twin centre or twin city holiday will cover two spectacular destinations in one trip, rather than multiple countries. Some of our favourite two centre holidays take you to Switzerland and Austria, or Italy and Greece, or even Down Under to hit both Australia and New Zealand in one special trip.

How can I travel to multiple cities in one trip?

Our multi centre holidays take you across multiple cities and countries, like our trips to Latin America that hit Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil in one iconic holiday, and our tours to Africa that take in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. There’s also our European blockbuster trips that can see you exploring over 10 countries and more than 30 cities on one trip!

How to book a multi destination flight?

The best way to book a multi destination flight is to speak to the expert team at Trafalgar. We know all the most efficient flight routes and can customise your flights to suit your multi centre holiday. Just let us know where you're dreaming of visiting, and we'll put together the best itinerary for your trip.

Multi-centre vacations

Enjoy the freedom and flexibility

With so many tempting destinations to choose from, why stop at one if you don’t have to. Our multi-centre vacations give you the chance to combine two or more places, so you can make the most of every experience and enjoy twice the vacation.

Many of our destinations can be easily combined, so you can hop from one city to another and make as many cultural discoveries as possible. If adventure is on your mind, but you could also do with some time to relax, a twin centre offers the best of both worlds. Or break the journey up with a short stopover en-route to somewhere further afield.

Pick your hotels

Choose your hotel stay to match your flight destinations. Select your check-in dates to either coincide with your flight arrival and your check-out dates and match your next flight departure. Or choose a hotel for part of your stay. Pick how many rooms you need, then add more hotels in the same way for your other destinations. We will offer three packaged results – recommended, lowest price and luxury. You can select your preferred option and then customise it by selecting a different hotel.

Car hire to suit you

Feeling ready for a road trip? Choose more freedom on your adventure and hire a car for your chance to explore. Select the rental destination for you, whether you want to have a car for each place you visit, or just one destination you go to, the flexibility is yours. Choose to return the car rental to the same location or select a different depot to drop off your car.

The best of travel extras

Once you’ve created your trip, take the chance to look at our travel extras. Choose from airport transfers to make your way straight to your hotel, or look at our airport hotels if you have an early flight to catch.

Multi-Centre Holiday Deals

Our deal experts have put together a selection of multi-centre deals, including trips across America, tours in Asia and twin-centre city breaks.

A multi-centre holiday deal goes to multiple destinations, and is an ideal way to truly explore a country or region that requires more than just a city break. It's a great way to contrast the hustle and bustle of the city with the peace and tranquility of the countryside or coast. It also allows you to see more than one side of a destination.

International Holidays

From exotic flavours and cultures to amazing sights and famous landmarks, nothing is more exciting than exploring a new country. And with our experienced Flight Centre travel experts always on hand, international travel has never been easier! Read more...

Your Holiday

The world is your oyster.

Take a trip across Africa where a multitude of natural wonders await. Visit Victoria Falls and see for yourself why it’s called the ‘Smoke that Thunders’. Travel further afield with a luxurious river safari on the Chobe River, climb the towering sand dunes of Sossuvlei and spot the big five at the Etosha National Park in Namibia.

Asia also offers its fair share of exhilarating experiences ranging all the way from India and Thailand to Vietnam and Hong Kong. Soak up the hustle and bustle of India’s biggest city in Mumbai, or relax with a beach holiday in Bali, Phuket and Krabi. Then visit Hong Kong for a vibrant blend of culture, cuisine and sightseeing.

City lovers can head to one-of-a-kind Dubai where a spectacular mix of sky scrapers, boutique shopping and sophisticated dining set the scene. Travellers who’d like a break from the frenetic city can lounge on pristine beaches, visit inspiring historic sites or simply watch a glorious sunset as it dips below a towering sand dune on the horizon.

The ever-popular Europe and the US are always worth a visit, with Italy, Venice, New York and Las Vegas a firm favourite on every traveller’s list. Take a romantic gondola ride through the canals of Venice, visit the famous Colosseum of Rome, try your luck in Fabulous Las Vegas and stay up all night in New York, ‘The City That Never Sleeps’.

Australia and New Zealand have plenty to offer adventurous travellers too! Take a tour of the phenomenal Sydney Opera House, lounge on beautiful beaches in Auckland and catch a high-energy game of cricket or soccer in Melbourne.

Beach lovers can also enjoy the numerous white sandy beaches of Mauritius, Zanzibar, Seychelles and many other islands sprinkled throughout the inviting waters of the Indian Ocean.

Wherever your travel bug takes you, Flight Centre’s talented team is with you all the way.

Election latest: Senior Tory says bets on date are 'stupid' but seeks to play down scale of scandal

Many more people than the leading Tories already identified are being investigated by the gambling regulator over election betting, Sky News understands. Earlier, James Cleverly told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips he has "no reason to believe" any cabinet ministers are involved.

Join us for more live updates on Monday.

It's an election campaign - and that means political donations have ramped up.

What exactly are the rules on donations? Do they change for elections? Who gets the most money? Why do people donate? And can parties give funds back?

Here, we explain...

Veterans minister Johnny Mercer has tonight offered further details of an "awkward" hustings in Plymouth, after which he claimed his Labour rival was "bloating" his military service.

Mr Mercer, who is standing as the Conservative candidate for the Plymouth Moor View constituency, took aim at his Labour opponent Fred Thomas after the event on Wednesday.

The minister questioned whether the Labour candidate had served in combat missions during his time as a Royal Marine, as had been reported by the Guardian newspaper in 2023.

Labour has said Mr Thomas is unable to discuss much of his role in the armed forces because of its "sensitive" nature.

Now, in a lengthy social media post, Mr Mercer described the event, which he said "descended into anarchy".

In response to Mr Mercer's comments, Labour's shadow defence secretary John Healey said: "The Commanding Officer of the Special Forces Support Group wrote of Fred's integrity and his character. Those words will not have been penned lightly. Mr Mercer should do the right thing and withdraw his deeply disrespectful remarks."

By Adam Boulton , Sky News commentator

Have you ever taken part in an opinion poll? I was about to say I haven't and then a dim memory surfaced from decades ago of a nice lady with a clipboard asking me questions in the Berkshire town of Pangbourne.

Whether or not your opinions have been sampled, you will have found it impossible to miss coverage of polls during this election campaign.

Reporting of opinion polls has been such a feature of the race that some are complaining about it. The controversy has been inflamed after the dramatic results shown in recent MRP polls,  such as this week's YouGov survey for Sky News .

Critics range from those who argue polls are one-day wonders that take coverage away from the "real issues" to others grumbling that polls distort how people vote, even though they may turn out to be wrong.

In this election, there are at least 18 separate companies publishing voting intention polls. They are busier than ever now the campaign is under way.

Read the rest of Adam's column here:

A flurry of general elections since 2015 has brought an unprecedented churn in our parliamentary representatives.

This year, two in five MPs aren't seeking re-election and the picture for the Conservatives is record-breakingly grim.

An unparalleled total of 23% of Conservative MPs are calling it a day in 2024, more than the previous high of 22% of Tories who quit in 1997, another year of boundary changes.

In contrast, only 15% of Labour MPs are resigning.

There are many reasons MPs quit: from retirement, family commitments and health concerns to career change, abolished constituencies, and the prospect of defeat.

But their decision to depart can reveal much about life in Westminster and have a significant impact on parliament's mix of experience, demographics, and the direction of political parties.

Dr Sofia Collignon, associate professor in Comparative Politics, analyses the churn in our representatives here:

Our politics show hosted by political correspondent Ali Fortescue has just wrapped up for today.

But don't worry - the Politics Hub will be live at 7pm on Sky News every night through the election campaign.

And until then, you can keep up with all the latest right here.

This is the question asked by our political correspondent Darren McCaffrey ...

In 2019, Liz Truss was once again elected MP for South West Norfolk - her fourth election win.

The then international trade secretary and later prime minister romped home to victory with nearly 70% of the vote.

Her constituency was one of the safest in the country.

Now, if the polls are to be believed, it is hanging in the balance.

Watch below as Darren tries to track Ms Truss down:

The full list of candidates in the South West Norfolk constituency is:

• Earl Elvis of East Anglia - The Official Monster Raving Loony Party • James Bagge - Independent • Gary Conway - Heritage Party • Pallavi Devulapalli - Green Party • Lorraine Douglas - Communist Party of Great Britain • Terry Jermy - Labour Party • Toby McKenzie - Reform UK • Josie Ratcliffe - Liberal Democrats • Liz Truss - Conservative and Unionist Party

Crossbench peer Lord Darroch is next up with Ali Fortescue.

She asks if Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer becoming prime minister would change the UK's relationship with the European Union.

"Yes, there will be a reset," he says. "I think that he is hosting a European political community summit in Blenheim House within a couple of weeks of the election."

Lord Darroch says Sir Keir will likely be "the star of that show".

"If he wins as big as some of the polls suggest, this will be a historic margin of victory.

"All the other leaders will want to meet him, and talk to him, and discover how he did it."

He will find himself "almost mobbed" at this summit, Lord Darroch claims.

Our live poll tracker collates the results of opinion surveys carried out by all the main polling organisations - and allows you to see how the political parties are performing in the run-up to the general election.

It shows a drop in support in recent days for Labour and the Tories - with a jump for Reform and the Liberal Democrats.

The Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation into criminal damage after Labour candidate for Walthamstow Stella Creasy's office was attacked.

Photos shared by Ms Creasy on social media appear to show the that the glass of one of the windows and the front door was hit several times.

Detectives Superintendent Dion Brown, one of the senior officers responsible for policing Waltham Forest, said: "It is entirely unacceptable for the office of one of London's prospective parliamentary candidates to be targeted in this way.

"An urgent investigation is under way, and officers have attended the scene and are already following up active lines of enquiry, which will include full analysis of all available CCTV footage.

"The incident is believed to have occurred between 03:10hrs and 03:30hrs on Sunday, 23 June.

"I urge any witnesses or anyone with information to contact police and share what they know.

"Anyone who witnessed the damage being caused, or who has other information, should call police on 101 with the reference 2621/23jun."

Ms Creasy sent a message to the perpetrators herself, writing on social media: "You don't intimidate me and you don't belong in the political process.

"Same as those circulating malicious and false leaflets. Police already on this to find you - will press for the strongest penalties for such an anti-democratic attack and I know Walthamstow won't be cowed or influenced by your violence either."

Here is the full list of candidates standing in the constituency of Walthamstow:

• Imran Arshad, Workers Party of Britain
• Mohammed Ashfaq, independent
• Stella Creasy, Labour Party
• Dan Edelstyn, independent
• Sanjana Madan Mohan Karnani, Conservative Party
• Martin Lonergan, Reform UK
• Ruth Theresa Rawlins, independent
• Rosalinda Ayo Rowlands, Green Party
• Nancy Taaffe, Trade Union and Socialist Coalition
• Rebecca Taylor, Liberal Democrats
