From Monte Carlo to Croatia: close destinations for a short-haul experience

Travelling by air, at this stage of the year and in view of the summer season, may be less simple than usual and in many cases more expensive than usual, thanks to continuing geopolitical tensions and the impact of the energy crisis. Thus, the idea of a proximity holiday, to be organised by train or car, without renouncing variety and quality of experience, is making a comeback. Just beyond the Italian borders, a wide range of destinations is opening up, capable of combining nature, culture, events and local traditions. From the Côte d'Azur to the Croatian islands, here is a selection of destinations for a spring holiday designed for those in search of affordable but experience-rich travel ideas.
