Whether you have been working your political socks off for one of the parties over the past six weeks, or you are one of the people for whom a summer uninterrupted by work has suddenly unfurled, the election could not be better timed for a change of location. To help you choose, I have compiled the best destinations as candidates for your great escape. Let’s start in the UK. How does Rishi Sunak’s Richmond and Northallerton in North Yorkshire – stretching for two-thirds of the way across northern England – compare with Sir Keir Starmer’s densely populated patch of Holborn and St Pancras in central London? I set out to find out from the perspective of a visiting tourist.

By a decisive majority of 52:48 it was the Conservative leader. “Visit North Yorkshire,” urged the slogan behind the podium at the outgoing prime minister’s count. I agree: a journey to and through the outgoing PM’s home turf is most rewarding. In the west, the Yorkshire Dales begin high on the moors, with sparkling water carving deep valleys that become populated by pretty villages as you descend. Nature and humanity converge in a patchwork landscape embroidered by dry-stone walls. Despite Rishi Sunak’s overnight disappointment, he can rejoice in a stunningly beautiful constituency.

Yet once the competitions get under way, Paris could feel like a ghost town – with expected visitor numbers way down on a normal summer. Air France says: “International markets show a significant avoidance of Paris.” That spells bargains for British tourists during the Games. Rates for double rooms in mainstream budget hotels are now starting to fall below £100 per night. I think they have further to drop and will not book for another week or two. Air fares are also falling. On Saturday 27 July you can fly from Manchester to Beauvais (Ryanair’s version of Paris) for £25 – and later in the Games the typical fare on that route is closer to £15. From Bristol to the closer-in Paris CDG, easyJet has just cut its 27 July fare by £10 to £87.

I might travel to Turkey for two weeks during my time away. Would the two weeks count as “Schengen days” – or in fact give me two weeks back in Schengen countries?     “Getting Brexit done” – the slogan that got the last government elected so convincingly – involved the erosion of many freedoms for British travellers to Europe. After the democratic decision to leave the European Union, the EU agreed to UK ministers’ demand to be treated as “third-country nationals” with all that entails. In particular, it means we are limited to staying a maximum of 90 days in any 180 days within the Schengen Area – comprising the EU (minus Cyprus and Ireland) plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and plucky Liechtenstein. For simplicity I shall assume you travelled out on 1 July and have not been in the Schengen Area previously this year. If you have a 60-day/two-month holiday in Italy this summer, you will be limited to 30 more days over the rest of the year. But if you make a side trip to Turkey, you will be stamped out of Schengen for the duration of that stay, and you will indeed get two weeks back to spend in the area. A couple of footnotes. Checks for compliance with the 90-day rule are currently haphazard. I have not seen frontier officials anywhere fully engage with the process of computing total length of stay from the stamps in British passports. Some travellers have taken advantage of this to bend/breach the length-of-stay rules. But once the Entry Exit System comes into effect (and yes, the UK demanded that we should be subject to it), possibly as early as October, the whole system and the Schengen days count will be automated. The new government may possibly adopt a more cooperative approach to Europe, and such impediments to travel could be eased. But don’t hold your breath.
