Top destinations for National Barbeque Week

In time for National Barbeque Week (26th May – 2nd June) and with the English summer supposedly just around the corner, Brits are unpacking their barbeques and cooking alfresco. But as the British summer invariably brings us nothing but soggy burgers and charred sausages, Flight Centre introduces its top BBQ destinations that are an antidote to the wet English summer.

Buenos Aires City Stay – 4 nights from £759
Argentina is famed for its steak. In fact, restaurants are popping up all over Britain which source steak straight from the country itself. Head to the capital, the “Paris of South America”, Buenos Aires, to sample the steak yourself, while enjoying the sub-tropical climate.

Flight Centre is offering a four-night stay at the 4* Calestar Hotel, based on two people sharing. This deal is valid for travel between 1st June and 30th June and is bookable until 31st May.

Cape Town and Winelands – 8 nights from £939
Why not add a bit of sophistication to your barbeque? After sampling a traditional braai in the beautiful coastal town of Camps Bay, head to Cape Town’s vineyards, home to the country’s most famous wines. The area around Franschhoek has numerous vineyards and offers a perfect opportunity to try local wines and pick the best ones to suit your barbeque.

Flight Centre is offering an eight-night stay at the 4* Bay Hotel in Cape Town and 4* Mont Rochelle Hotel in Franschhoek, based on two people sharing on a bed and breakfast basis. This deal is valid for travel between 1st and 30th June and is bookable until 15th June.

Cairns and Great Barrier Reef – 7 nights from £1145
Three images synonymous with Australia are surfers, kangaroos and barbeques and it is easy to see why barbequing is the nation’s favourite pastime. With glorious hot weather, an easygoing Aussie attitude and an abundance of fresh food to toss on the coals, it is understandably the ultimate barbeque haven.

After returning from a day snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, spend the evening in Cairns, where public barbeques are scattered along the promenade, and chill out with a barbeque and beer.

Flight Centre is offering a seven-night stay at the 4* Hotel Cairns and a two-night stay onboard the Reef Encounter staying in a stateroom, based on two people sharing. This deal is valid for travel between 1st September and 4th December and is bookable until 30th June.
