Christmas City Breaks

Christmas city breaks – Special atmosphere
City breaks over Christmas offer a refreshingly original and energising way to celebrate the festive season. Christmas weekend breaks capture many cities at their festive best, with charming Christmas markets, lights and music. A city break for Christmas can make a very romantic gift. Nobody would claim the weather in Venice, Paris, Bruges and Lisbon is at its best in winter but a short break at Christmas will find them especially atmospheric and high on romance. Many would claim that Christmas weekend breaks in Moscow and St Petersburg will see the city at its most memorable. The crisp, cold, short days in Northern European cities like Berlin, Amsterdam and Dublin are highly conducive to lingering in cosy traditional cafes and bars and sampling the best city restaurants. Short Christmas breaks in Madrid should enjoy the city’s famously bright winter sunshine. And of course Christmas city breaks in New York are especially popular, with the snow, the famous stores and the Christmas decorations combining to magical effect.

Christmas short breaks – Romantic white Christmas
Most Christmas weekend break destinations are hardly known for their kindly winter weather. In fact it is the cold and the snow that makes European Christmas break destinations like Moscow and Vienna so exciting. Gazing at the snow-capped spires of Prague or Budapest from a picturesque square while clutching steaming mulled wine is a scene that will appeal to all romantics! Just wrap up warm and enjoy the atmosphere! Christmas city breaks are a superb time to explore the museums of Venice, the churches of Rome and the galleries of Barcelona. Short breaks at Christmas can include all the family too. Children will love the magical atmosphere in Prague and New York.

City breaks at Christmas - Escape south!
Enjoy Christmas with a short break in popular European city break destinations like Malaga, Naples and Palermo. Sunny Christmas weather cannot be guaranteed in Cannes, Rome or Monte Carlo but the ambience will be different and the temperatures will be an improvement on late-December London, Manchester and Glasgow! For a complete change of scene why not try outlandish Las Vegas or the beautiful Andalusian capital Seville? Or escape the excesses of Christmas entirely with an exotic Christmas city break in Marrakech, Istanbul or Dubai!
