As the countdown to summer begins, British holidaymakers are locking in their getaways—and their travel money. With exchange rates shifting daily, knowing where your pound stretches furthest can help you enjoy more cocktails, more excursions, and more unforgettable experiences.
At Travel FX, we offer market-leading rates on dozens of currencies. Here’s how far £1,000 will take you in some of this year’s most popular destinations:
Turkey – Approx. 47,119 Turkish Lira (TRY)
Rate: 1 GBP = 47.1197 TRY
Turkey continues to offer phenomenal value for British travellers. Imagine sipping Turkish tea on a sun-drenched terrace in Fethiye, exploring the markets of Istanbul, or floating over Cappadocia in a hot air balloon—all for less than you’d spend on a night out back home. From all-inclusive beach breaks to cultural city escapes, the Turkish Lira gives you a lot of bang for your buck.
Your £1,000 could cover a luxury week-long hotel stay, daily dining, excursions, and still leave room for souvenirs.
USA – Approx. 1,314 US Dollars (USD)
Rate: 1 GBP = 1.3146 USD
The USA might be pricier, but it’s packed with once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Think rooftop bars in New York, road trips down the California coast, or star-spotting in Los Angeles. Whether you’re going theme park mad in Florida or hiking in the Grand Canyon, every dollar counts.
With £1,000, you can cover park passes, hire a car, or enjoy a Broadway show—plus a few shopping sprees.
Eurozone – Approx. 1,141 Euros (EUR)
Rate: 1 GBP = 1.1414 EUR
Europe is a classic for a reason. Stroll the cobbled streets of Barcelona with a gelato in hand, sip wine in a Parisian café, or island-hop across the Greek isles. The euro may not stretch as far as it used to, but savvy travellers can still find amazing deals—especially if you order your euros in advance at a great rate.
£1,000 could mean sunset dinners, beach days, cultural tours, and enough left over for airport sangria.
Australia – Approx. 2,041 Australian Dollars (AUD)
Rate: 1 GBP = 2.0419 AUD
Heading Down Under? Australia may be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but your pound still holds solid value. From snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef to wine tasting in the Barossa Valley, your AUD goes a long way when you plan smart.
£1,000 could cover domestic flights, a couple of unforgettable tours, or some top-notch dining in Sydney or Melbourne.
Poland – Approx. 4,829 Polish Zloty (PLN)
Rate: 1 GBP = 4.8293 PLN
Poland is one of Europe’s hidden gems. From the medieval charm of Kraków to the coastal vibes of Gdańsk, it’s a fantastic low-cost option. Accommodation, food, and drink are all budget-friendly—and you won’t be compromising on quality.
Your £1,000 will go far: think boutique stays, hearty meals, and spa treatments without the scary price tag.
