Top Tips to AVOID the World Cup on holiday
11/06/2010
This year, not everyone will be watching the World Cup. If you are going on holiday in June and you're not interested in the games, you might want to check out our top tips to avoiding the World Cup.
With just a little research, you can enjoy your holiday without being hassled by the World Cup.
- Go on holiday to a country that doesn't have a team in the World Cup
- Don't travel to destinations or tourist resorts that are popular with Brits and Europeans that are football mad
- Find out what time the matches are on even if you don't want to see them, so you know when to avoid the local bars!
- Go on holiday to a remote area where there's no sign of TVs
- Stay in a small hotel that doesn't have a bar attached to it, or better still, go camping!
- Speak to the locals to find out which bars and restaurants won't be showing the World Cup matches
- Go on an expedition such as climbing Kilimanjaro or hiking the Inca Trail
- Hire a boat and go sailing
- Visit popular attractions such as monuments or theme parks on match days - they won't be showing the football and they're bound to be less busy than they normally would be
