Travelling with others is always an opportunity to ensure good festive moments and complicity. In short, the opportunity to discover your loved ones in another setting, to feel reassured and to share moments that are sure to remain engraved in your memory. And for this reason, Europe is full of destinations tailored to accommodate groups. Before departure, however, it is necessary to think about the organisation of the trip and in particular the delicate issue of booking accommodation for groups. Who is in charge of it? In which neighborhood? For what budget? A clever advice for groups: have the reflex groupcorner.com to facilitate your search and booking of accommodation, a site that allows you to find the ideal place, according to your criteria, and which even proposes to create a pool to avoid advancing the expenses of all travellers. While waiting to book your next group hotel, here are 5 European destinations that may please you and your friends.


A getaway to Barcelona, the festive

Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, has many assets for a holiday for several people and book accommodation for groups. Generous sunshine all year round, beaches, remarkable architecture with unmissable sites such as La Sagrada Familia, Parc Güell or Casa Batlló. It is also a city that has several very lively neighbourhoods, where it is very pleasant to go out in the evening with family or friends. Eixample, Barrio Gotico and El Born, to name but a few, have many bars and clubs where it is good to have a drink and dance until late at night. Spring and autumn are ideal seasons to travel around the city and it is necessary to budget about 10 euros per meal and 35 euros per night in a shared room. Among the group hostels in Barcelona, Generator Barcelona is a cosy and comfortable establishment, well located, only 200 metres from the Gràcia district

Discover or rediscover London, the cosmopolitan city

We never get tired of the English capital and for a stay with several people, it has enough to keep you busy during the day. Shopping on Oxford Street or Camden Town can follow the discovery of an exceptional heritage, with a visit to Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. We also take the time to picnic in one of the many parks that flourish in the City, such as Bushy Park or Hype Park, and to stroll through the alleys of the free museums. And in the evening, what better way to reach the Soho district and its always happy pubs. Spring and summer are two recommended seasons to visit, when temperatures become milder. On the budget side, you can eat very well on the go for 15 euros and you can easily book a group hotel in London, where the night is charged between 30 and 80 euros. As at St. Giles Central London, a 3-star hotel located in the central district of Soho, which can accommodate large groups.

Strolling around Amsterdam, a capital on a human scale

Would you like to book accommodation for groups in a European capital that is open-minded and human-sized? Plan a stay, preferably from June to September, in Amsterdam, where it is pleasant to stroll along the canals in the Jordaan and De Pipj districts and admire its architectural richness. The Place du Dam and the Red Quarter are a must, as are the brown cafés where good beers are always enjoyed in a friendly and cosy atmosphere. As for culture, the metropolis is not to be outdone, with incredible museums: the RijksMuseum, the Van Gogh Museum or the Anne Frank House plunge you into the heart of art and history. It is important to book your accommodation in advance in Amsterdam because the cost is higher than in France. If you eat for 15-20 euros on average in a small restaurant, a night in a group hotel in Amsterdam costs around 30 euros. Why not pack your bags in Via Amsterdam, a relaxed and well-equipped place in the Bijlmermeer district, 10 minutes from the centre.

Escape to Brussels, a warm and green city

From the heart of spring to the end of autumn, Brussels is a capital, also on a human scale, perfect for a group trip. Its Grand-Place, Laeken Park and its castle, Manneken Pis, the Marolles flea market and its districts which mix Art Deco and Art Nouveau buildings are all reasons to walk there with friends. We also enjoy several unusual moments in parks such as Leopold Park or King Baudouin Park and moments of sharing in bars. The people of Brussels always reserve a warm welcome and are particularly open to meeting people. You can enjoy a decent meal for 15 euros and you should plan around 30-40 euros per night in group accommodation in Brussels, such as at the Jacques Brel Youth Hostel, a place in the central position, 15 minutes walk from the Grand Place

Settling in Paris, probably the most beautiful city in the world

Discovering Paris in good weather and with many people is perfect. We take advantage of the great boulevards, the quays of the Seine and the small streets of the Marais and the Latin Quarter to admire the splendours of Haussmann architecture. Then we stop for coffee or a glass of wine on a terrace in the lively 10th and 11th arrondissements in the evening. But staying there in winter also has its charms. We have the opportunity to spend time in the great museums such as the Louvre, Orsay or the Palais de Tokyo. The city also has a wide range of cultural activities. Why not join a small theatre in the evening, go to the Opéra Bastille or dance to the sound of a concert at the AccorHotels Arena. You can eat very well for 15 euros in a brewery and book accommodation for groups in Paris for an average of 35 euros per night. To enjoy a trendy place, drop off your luggage at Jo & Joe Paris Gentilly, from where you can easily reach the centre of Paris by metro
