Ideas for Short Break Abroad in March 2020
My 23 year old daughter and I go away for about 5 nights each year in about February/March time, we try to go somewhere neither of us has been before. We like exploring and seeing stuff so not just sitting on a beach.
We've done New York, Boston, Dubai, Oman and Morocco so far and are now looking for somewhere else and have come up a blank We don't mind up to an 8 hour or so flight (so the US is a possibility) but we'd prefer either somewhere warm or, maybe snowy, but equally open to any bright suggestions! I've already visited Egypt, Cyprus & Turkey and she has been to the Canaries. Anyone have any bright ideas?

What about Washington DC? We are thinking of going next year for a short break and looks like there's plenty of things to do to fill 5 days

This might seem to be a ‘left field’ suggestion, but Cape Town would be a fantastic five day break. It’s a longer flight than you planned but there is no jet lag (only two hour time difference).
The city itself has lots to offer - Table Mountain, Robben Island, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Kirstenbosch, the Winelands, Cape Point, penguins at Boulders Beach and much more. It’s also great value for money. |

that time of year, i'd recommend either prague or amsterdam (prague being considerably cheaper, and both have relatively cheap flights from a lot of local airports)
in prague, we stayed here: mhapartments/en/prag...central-prague got a 1bed apartment for the weekend, and didnt really cost any more than a hotel. it was a couple of minutes walk to the nearest tram stop to all the fun bits too! |

Or Toronto including a visit to Niagara Falls 😀

What about Iceland? Plenty to do/see for 5 days - blue lagoon, golden circle tour, Reykjavik, many other tours if either of you are into GOT they do ones to show you scenes from there too.
