Special Short Breaks

A short leisure trip away is always an occasion to look forward to whether exploring a new city or returning to a much loved, familiar destination. Extra special city breaks are highly anticipated and are often booked months ahead to celebrate a personal milestone or perhaps to attend a colourful festival or major event. Romantic special city breaks in mystical Venice, Rome and Paris will make a Valentine’s Day experience unforgettable. Inspiring sights and indulgent first class facilities are sure to spark a little extra passion and these evocative cities are also the ideal destination for that never to be forgotten honeymoon. Special short breaks for families enjoy enchanting days at Disneyland®Paris or a fairytale Christmas break in wintery Prague or charming Budapest.

 

That once in a lifetime special event that you have always longed to attend is sure to bring out the best in a short break holiday. Very few occasions can compare to the sheer vitality of St Patricks Day in Dublin or Boston or Munich's chaotic Oktoberfest. Special city breaks exuding glamour and style are experienced during the glitzy Cannes film festival, the Venice Carnival in Monaco at the Grand Prix - all events that require precision planning months ahead to avoid disappointment. Art lovers can look forward to a classical music extravaganza in Vienna, rip roaring comedy and fringe theatre at the Edinburgh Festival and there are even the 2010 World Cup finals in happening Cape Town.

 

The options for special city breaks literally span the globe, from the shopping Mecca’s of New York, Dubai and Singapore to the vibrant party capitals of Bangkok and sun kissed Miami. Special short breaks are often never to be repeated occasions and so make for an indulgent privileged experience. Treat yourself to a luxury spa city break in London or Paris, cruise the Adriatic onboard a luxury yacht from Dubrovnik or enjoy a refined weekend of wine tasting in a Bordeaux chateau. Special interest and activity breaks are just as uncompromising and provide fulfilment and great fun. Gluttony will be hard to resist on a gastronomic weekend in Lyon or let those artistic skills shine on a landscape painting short break in idyllic Aix-en-Provence.
