It’s all happening, and you’re invited

Discover what to do in Phuket in one day, from beaches and viewpoints to local food and nightlife, with this easy 24-hour Phuket itinerary.

The confidence to explore often starts with where you stay. When your base is straightforward and well-located, it's easier to say yes to plans, try a new area, or head out for a late event knowing you've got a comfortable place to return to. Across the ibis family, you can find reliable essentials, a good night's sleep and a 24/7 welcome, plus social spaces where a quick hello feels natural.

Most trips don’t unravel because of big issues. It’s the smaller moments like slow decisions, unclear plans and missed details that start to build and eat into your time. The good news is they’re easy to spot early. Here’s where things usually slip:

On budget holidays in October, enjoy mild weather and golden light on France’s sun-drenched plateaus, coastlines and mountainous regions. Whether you’re planning a family break or a romantic getaway, France in autumn is decked out in her finest colours.

Before the day-by-day, there’s one tip that will save you the most money: eat like a local. Japan's convenience stores, such as 7-Eleven, Lawson, and FamilyMart, sell genuinely good onigiri, hot oden, sandwiches, and coffee from around ¥150, and they're located on almost every corner.   Local bakeries such as Donguri (famous for its chikuwa bread) do a filling breakfast or lunch for under ¥500. Save your yen for one standout Sapporo meal a day, whether that is a Susukino ramen or a Nijo Market seafood bowl, and cover the other meals cheaply so you can comfortably stay at the lower end of your daily budget.   Around Sapporo Station, the basement food halls of Daimaru Sapporo are another good option, with takeaway sushi, bento boxes, and local sweets that are easy to take back to your hotel.

Your first day focuses on South Mumbai, the city’s historic core, where many of its most recognisable landmarks are located.
