    In January, the first opportunity to travel is the Epiphany, which falls on a Friday and which allows you to leave for 3 days, adding Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 January.

Easter and Easter Monday are celebrated on Sunday 9 and Monday 10 April, 3 days of mini vacation if Saturday is added.

November 1st, All Saints' Day, is a Wednesday: with 2 days off - Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday - you can organize a 5-day vacation.


    Even in December there are many opportunities to organize weekends: the 8th, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, is a Friday, just as Christmas Day is a Monday and Boxing Day is a Tuesday, which altogether give 4 days of vacation (5 for the Milanese who add the patron saint's day on December 7).

Where is it?

Among the destinations to choose from there are some Italian locations where you can organize a long weekend or a short vacation.

Umbria, first of all, is among the destinations recommended by the Lonely Planet guide: the base for visiting the medieval villages is Perugia, which in 2023 celebrates the five hundredth anniversary of Perugino's death.

Also in Italy, two destinations not to be missed are Bergamo and Brescia, which together have been named Italian Capital of Culture 2023, with over one hundred scheduled events.

Two other suggestions from Lonely Planet for a mini vacation are Malta, with its art and sea offerings, and the Chalkidiki Peninsula in Greece, which offers enchanting beaches where you can relax.


    Finally, remaining in Europe, National Geographic offers a journey into the unspoilt nature of the Scottish Highlands, between moors and sheep, or the Austrian Alps between trekking, climbing and evenings in a mountain hut.
