The best long-layover stops for your flight to Australia - A Travel Consultant’s guide.

Here are our top five long layovers for flights between Europe and Australia. Most people haven't thought of the last one. 

Such an easy country to navigate; the airport is connected to downtown in around half an hour. While you are there visit Gardens by the Bay and the iconic Marina Bay Sands.

Deserts, mountains, beaches, parks, and wildlife. Visit the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, and explore the Corniche with its 8km of manicured blue-flag waterfront.

In-your-face culture. Worth a visit alone for the ivory-white marble Taj Mahal, named one of the Wonders of the World. Explore the markets and get an authentic taste of Indian cuisine.

Visit the temples, and explore the bustling markets to enjoy traditional Thai street food. Take a boat ride along the Chao Phraya River in the evening or head out to the wilder parts of town.

We rarely consider flying the "wrong way round" but the flight times are the same and often the flights themselves are cheaper. Both LA and San Francisco are easily reached from their respective airports and within an hour of clearing customs, you could be sipping in Hollywood or gnawing on an In-and-Out Burger by the Golden Gate Bridge.
