UK City Breaks

UK City Breaks - Surprising cities full of rewarding attractions
The great British holiday and just as importantly, UK city breaks are often overlooked in favour of warm Mediterranean sunshine and tropical beaches. Our cosmopolitan cities offer a surprising array of attractions that can rival any major continental destination. UK city breaks are so much more than just visits to London and Edinburgh - by far the most popular tourist destinations in the country. For example shoppers will find the streets of Birmingham and Glasgow filled with high class boutiques, immense department stores and atmospheric markets, while the elegant Victorian arcades in Leeds make shopping a most delightful experience.

UK City Breaks - Modern all action regional cities
Cities like Manchester, Glasgow and Bristol boast entertainment and nightlife to rival anything in the capital and have a youthful vibe that encompasses cutting edge clubs, a healthy live music scene and stylish bars and pubs. Likewise, Belfast and Cardiff have seen widespread regeneration with new museums, cultural centres and sports stadia offering a vibrant mix of attractions for all ages. The Cardiff Bay area in particular has transformed the city into a 21st century playground for world class sporting events and art exhibitions. Many UK city breaks are taken purely for live theatre and the West End of London and the spectacle of the Edinburgh festival are hard to beat in terms of sheer quality and variety of shows on offer.

UK City Breaks - Spectacular countryside to explore
City breaks in the UK can just as easily enjoy fabulous rural scenery just a stone's throw from busy city streets. The glorious Yorkshire Dales and the valleys of South Wales are easily accessible from Leeds and Cardiff respectively. Indulge in a spot of salmon fishing, golf or fell walking in the delightful Aberdeenshire countryside. UK cities have many historic gems which are often taken for granted. The industrial heritage of Bristol and Manchester offers some amazing neo gothic and Victorian landmarks and a visit to the elegant country houses around Birmingham and Leeds are a delightful day out. Cardiff Castle is an essential part of any stay in the city and Glasgow features many breathtaking Georgian terraces which have been beautifully restored. UK city breaks provide a host of surprising attractions that even the British weather cannot dampen.
