Best Destinations For A Layover

February 21, 2024

Traveling to your dream destination is thrilling, but what if you could amplify the excitement by adding another mini-trip along the way? Layovers don't have to be a drag; instead, they offer a golden opportunity to explore a new city, even if just for a few hours. We’ve curated a list of the top layover destinations that are perfect for a quick adventure before you resume your journey.

  • Amsterdam: A brief train ride takes you from Schiphol Airport to the heart of the city. Immerse yourself in the charm of Dutch culture with a stroll along the canals, a bite of sweet stroopwafel, and a leisurely bike ride - all possible thanks to convenient bike rental apps.
  • Dubai: The Dubai International Airport is a gateway to luxury and adventure. Zip into the city center via metro and find yourself amidst the splendor of the Dubai Mall, without ever braving the desert sun. With our Unlimited Data package, even a short layover is enough to create unforgettable memories.
  • Singapore: The marvels of Singapore await, but Changi Airport might just entice you to stay within its confines, offering a movie theater, a pool, and more. However, a quick foray into the city is a breeze, with free city tours available right from the airport.
  • Porto: Thanks to TAP Air Portugal, a stop in Portugal can become a mini-holiday. Opt for a layover in either Lisbon or Porto and spend up to five days savoring the local culture, beaches, and, of course, the renowned Portuguese wine.
  • Beijing: The sprawling Beijing airport is your starting point to dive into centuries of history. Utilize the 72-hour visa to step out and wander through landmarks like the Forbidden City or even take a dash to the Great Wall of China.
  • Layovers are hidden gems in your travel itinerary, giving you a taste of diverse cultures and sights. Next time you’re mapping out your journey, consider these cities for a layover and double the pleasure of your travel experience.
