Planning a well-deserved weekend away needn't be too time consuming or indeed expensive. There is no shortage of enticing destinations to choose from, be it classical European cities, sun drenched Mediterranean beaches or even a capital weekend of West End theatre and shopping. Nowadays, low cost carriers span every corner of Europe, and even the so-called expensive cities of Rome, Venice or Cannes are within the reach of most peoples’ budget. You will certainly save plenty of time and money with a cheap weekend break by Eurostar. Alluring Paris, Lille and Brussels are just two hours away or less from central London and are the perfect excuse to whisk away a loved one on a spontaneous romantic escape.

 

Competition is intense in the emerging tourist centres of central and Eastern Europe and low season air fares are a real giveaway. What's more, you will save a packet on eating out and shopping in enchanting Tallinn, Riga, Bratislava or Krakow. Vivacious Prague, Budapest and sunny Dubrovnik are still great value and never fail to captivate. Cheap weekend city breaks will fascinate history and art lovers of every persuasion in peerless Barcelona, Vienna, Florence and Bruges. No less enjoyable is a trip to rousing Dublin or Edinburgh, both enduring favourites with British travellers and can be enjoyed to the full however limited your time is.

 

There is no better feeling than basking on a sunny Mediterranean beach as the rest of the UK shivers through a freezing winter. The established resorts of the Costas are as popular as ever for a winter cheap weekend city break, while gregarious Valencia, Bilbao and Murcia offer a more authentic Iberian experience with plenty of local colour. Vibrant Seville provides the most exotic slice of Spanish life with its fascinating Moorish history and rousing cafe culture. Cheap weekend city breaks will guarantee an all over tan in sun baked Malta or Palermo and even an affordable luxury beach break in dazzling Dubai.
