One of the best ways that travelers get acquainted with the local customs is by stopping into a cafe–any cafe, really–and sitting down for a coffee. It could be early in the morning, right as shops and markets are starting to open. It could be during a slow afternoon stretch where businessmen are having power lunches and ladies of leisure are gossiping. Or it could be late in the evening, when in a surprising number of countries, going out for coffee is a suitable alternative to boozing it up, or a great activity to sober you up at the end of the night.

As we all become more aware of the importance of keeping fit and pursuing healthy activities on our weekends, it seems this is extending into our leisure break decisions – with walking and cycling leisure breaks increasing massively in popularity. Many travel commentators had spotted this growing trend a few years ago, and as walking and cycling holidays are relatively cheap, healthy and better for the environment, factors such as the recession and carbon footprint guilt have certainly contributed.

What better way to spend a week than taking in some fresh air, getting some exercise and heartily enjoying a good meal at the end of the day? Walking and cycling leisure breaks are fast shaking off their geeky image so it’s time to strap on your walking boots, dust off your bike and discover the great outdoors.
