Do the acronyms STN and LGW when plastered all over a cheap flights site do your head in? Can’t work out whether your flight leaves from Terminal 1, 3 or 4 from Heathrow and how to get there? I know the feeling, so i decided it was high time that someone laid out the best […]
Get your LOLs on at 35,000 feet
You’ve heard all the typical shenanigans that people roll out about what they’ve done whilst on a plane. Your best mate once met Anna Kournikova and got her phone number while your uncle sat next to Michael McIntyre on a flight back from Edinburgh and got a laugh or two after pulling out his best […]
One Year On
This week marks 12 months since I started 48 Hour Adventure. It’s come a long way since I decided “hey, there’s nothing around on the web that provides just the right amount of info to help people travel on weekends to cities, let’s start a blog†and I’m super proud of the growth so far. […]
Staying in a hostel is the most fun you’ll have in a weekend

A lot can be said about […]

When should I travel? Friday night or Saturday morning?
With only 2 days available to make the most of a city, you’ll want to maximise the time you have by scheduling the best time of day to travel. My general rule of thumb for selecting a destination for a weekend is that it has to be within 2 hour travel time from London (either […]
Welcome to 48 Hour Adventure!
So we’re live with 48houradventure.com. I got this idea last night to create a blog solely dedicated to creating whirlwind guides of cities for when you’ve got no longer than 48 hours there and want to soak up as much as you can. My job here in London is 9-5, Monday to Friday, so all […]
