Forget lounging around on a beach for two weeks every year. A
city break offers so much more. Use your holiday time to discover some
of the most famous sights in the world, and if you spend a few days in
various places, you'll gain so much more from your travels than simply
staring at the hotel swimming pool. Here are five of Europe's must-visit
city break destinations:
Budapest
The Hungarian capital is one of the most up-and-coming places for a city break, making it a great place to go for a more authentic city break destination. There are lots of ruined bars that don't look too appealing from the outside. But once inside, you'll find some of the coolest places to enjoy a drink. It's also a relatively cheap place to visit compared with some of the other most popular European cities.
Dublin
There's never a dull moment in Dublin. Around almost every corner you'll be able to enjoy singing and dancing, and the Irish capital has a real feel-good vibe. The nightlife is centred on the Temple Bar area of the city although this is one of the main touristy areas. The streets here are lined with traditional Irish bars and you'll be able to join in with live bands playing your favourite songs whilst enjoying a pint of the local Guinness.
Prague
The capital of the Czech Republic is just as perfect for a romantic break as it is for a group of friends looking for a good time. The tourist attractions here are endless and include Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle so they'll always be something to do during the day. In an evening there are plenty of bars and restaurants that cater for all tastes so your night out can be as relaxed or as crazy as you like.
Rome
From the Colosseum and the Spanish Steps to the Trevi Fountain and the Vatican, Rome has so many famous landmarks to see. It's best to visit these places early in the morning or in the early evening to avoid the crowds of tourists though - and the sun in the hot summer months! The city comes alive at night though with traditional Italian piazzas brimming with bars, restaurants and street performers. The Piazza Navona and Campo de Fiori are two of the best places to spend an evening although it's recommended to try some of the nearby side streets for more authentic Italian dishes and cheaper prices.
Barcelona
Barcelona is a city that offers something for everyone. There is even a beach there these days for anyone who simply wants to relax in the sun. The architecture in the city is stunning with famous works by Antoni Gaudi to be seen around almost every corner with highlights being the Sagrada Familia and the Casa Batlló. There is plenty of nightlife to enjoy around the city but the Gothic Quarter is one of the most popular places to enjoy a drink and a bit of tapas. Barcelona is also home to the best football team in the world - playing their home games at the huge Camp Nou stadium.
