Brits’ European bucket list includes seeing the Northern Lights, the Eiffel Tower and Scotland’s Loch Ness. A poll of 2,000 adults found Italy is a place people are keen to visit, with Pompeii, Lake Como and the Colosseum taking up three of the top four in the ultimate wish list.
Destinations such as Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, Germany’s Black Forest and our very own Stonehenge are also sought after. Three in 10 adults (29 per cent) currently have a bucket list of sites and places they want to visit, which they predict will typically take 11 years to complete.
The research, commissioned by ALL – Accor Live Limitless - Accor’s lifestyle loyalty program, found seeing the Northern Lights was the bucket list experience most Brits are wander-lusting for, and top destinations people want to visit include Rome, Athens and Barcelona. Travellers want to do more than just see a place, they want to be part of the destination and dream of experiences including travelling on the Orient Express, sledging with huskies in Lapland and sailing around Greek islands.
