Following a breakup, one thing we always want to do is book a flight and get the hell out of our hometown. There’s just something about being in a new destination, with different people and some quality rest and relaxation time that makes the idea of a split seem to hurt just a little bit less. And now the top 10 destinations for a post-breakup holiday have been revealed and the results are rather surprising.
Forget sunny Spanish beaches and party resorts, according to the Splitup App, the best cities to go to are actually ones that offer the best chance at healing, thanks to their number of green spaces, natural water features and spas. The app has also factored in the safety of each city and the average cost of a hotel. You don’t want to be heartbroken and in your overdraft, after-all.
Of course going on a holiday straight after a breakup isn’t always possible, but if you’re looking to head somewhere to heal and process your split, then these are officially the top 10 cities to do it in.
