Ethical City Breaks

Ethical City Breaks - An alternative to flying
With travellers more conscientious and discerning in their travel choices, ethical city breaks are steadily gaining in popularity and many tour operators have responded with green and 'guilt-free' alternatives to help minimise the polluting effect of overseas air travel. Among the most developed of these is Eurostar which provides high speed train travel from central London direct to the cities of Paris, Brussels and Lille. Cheap and convenient train connections from these cities allow exploration of dozens of other interesting European destinations such as Antwerp, Bordeaux, Marseille and stylish Lyon - all just a few hours away.

Ethical City Breaks - A fun way to tour a city
While at your destination there are several simple measures that you can take to help reduce carbon emissions without significantly increasing the cost of your holiday and which is both rewarding and great fun. Visit the attractions of lively Amsterdam by bicycle, take a horse drawn carriage in Bruges and Vienna or tour Singapore's Chinatown district by traditional rickshaw. All offer a more atmospheric and personal view of local life and sights of interest. The compact city of Cape Town and historic Pisa and Split are all pedestrian friendly ethical city break destinations that are a pleasure to stroll around and have centrally located shopping, historic attractions and entertainment.

Ethical City Breaks - Eco-friendly cities
An ethical city break in dynamic Seville can be enjoyed to the full without guilt as it has many hotels that harness solar power which is perhaps unsurprising for a city that enjoys over 300 days of sunshine each year. San Francisco and Dublin also have strong guidelines on renewable energy and recycling. An ethical short break can be enjoyed by all, from the budget traveller to the connoisseur of 5 star qualities and offers an inspiring and fulfilling holiday.
