Activity Breaks - Colourful festivals and events
Short breaks are increasingly being used by travellers to indulge in specific passions and interests with trips to enjoy art and culture, sporting activities and events around the world. In the UK, shopping and theatre breaks in London have always been extremely popular and during the Edinburgh Festival the city sees a massive increase in visitors. In Europe and worldwide there are colourful one off events and celebrations throughout the year that include the exuberant Cannes film festival or St Patrick’s day parade in Dublin. For a once in a lifetime experience visit the carnival in Rio de Janeiro or Chinese new year in Hong Kong for a real sense of occasion.
Activity Breaks - Art and culture tours
The diversity of the world's greatest cities offer an amazing range of sightseeing opportunities for everyone to enjoy. An activity break admiring the fantastic art deco district of South Beach, Miami will appeal to some as much as the ruins of ancient Rome or the gothic splendour of Prague. Organised tours are an ideal way to see the major cultural attractions of a city on an activity break and Paris and Amsterdam for example are synonymous with art and history and attract large numbers of visitors on walking tours and to museum and exhibitions.
Activity Breaks - Enjoy traditional performances
A waltz in Vienna or a night of high class cabaret in Las Vegas will be the main highlights of an activity break for some people while the stylish city of Milan offers immense variety with a night at La Scala opera house or even a football match at the San Siro stadium. Rich artistic traditions can be discovered and enjoyed on a city break that bring to life the local colour and provide sophisticated entertainment. Witness a performance of traditional dance and music on a short break in Madrid or exotic Marrakech for a night to remember.
