Sometimes when work gets too much or the strain of the daily routine starts to get to you, the best thing you can do is get away from it all for a short while. One way of doing this without breaking the bank is with some of the amazing city breaks Europe has to offer. There are lots of possibilities but here are 5 top ones which guarantee a refreshing weekend or short holiday.
- Krakow. Not so long ago the idea of taking European city breaks in Poland would have been completely unthinkable, and even now you may surprise some people with your choice of destination. However, if you have never seen anything of this city before you will be amazed at the thriving local economy and rich history of the place.
- Budapest. The Hungarian capital is another place which gets less coverage than it deserves. It sits on the Danube and is one of the most attractive cities you will find anywhere in the world. It actually used to be two cities, known as Buda and Pest, and exploring the contrast on the two sides of the river is one of the elements which make up one of the most unforgettable city breaks in Europe.
- Milan. What first comes to your mind when you think of Milan? Probably either fashion or football, but there is much more to this cosmopolitan destination than just those aspects. Like all of Italy, you will find art treasures and beautiful sights all around this city, which is one of the current economic powerhouses of the continent.
- Vienna. A list of top Europe city breaks just wouldn’t be complete with a mention of one of the cultural high spots. The capital of Austria is a delight for anyone who loves music, opera, architecture, museums and a break with a high degree of class (1). Passing some quality time in one of the famous cafés is something which shouldn’t be missed.
- Amsterdam. This is one of the easiest and cheapest city breaks Europe offers for people travelling from the UK or Ireland. You already know all about the bicycles, the windmills, the canals and the tulips and if you want to recharge your batteries there are few better places to do it (2).
