Bank Holiday City Breaks

Bank holidays are a great way to discover a new city without the pressure of long hours of travel and expense. Cheap city breaks to some of Europe's and beyond finest cities are available; the question is, what are you looking for from your bank holiday break? Do you want the five star luxury of a city break in Cannes or would you prefer to visit the old world of Marrakech?

 

Your bank holiday break will be an ideal way to see some of these fine cities. Depending on which time of year you want to go, you will find that a bank holiday break gives you more time to explore, without adding to your budget too much. Remember, by travelling on a bank holiday you aren't losing any pay at work, so you can budget to accommodate your preferences a little more easily. Peak bank holidays are usually the summer bank holiday in August and the Christmas and New Year Bank holidays. So if you are looking to maximise value on, say a short break to Dubrovnik, you may be best off going on the May bank holiday when demand is lower. Finding the best city break deal on a break to Moscow does mean booking well in advance, particularly if you plan on travelling during peak bank holidays; however doing so will give you the best deals available.

 

That perfect short holiday in Venice, where you can see the magic of the canals, will be all the sweeter if you can get a discount on your break. Travelling last minute to some destinations is a great way to get a cheap deal on your bank holiday break. Last minute city break deals, which are usually advertised a week or so before departure, can be a great way to save some money. Many famous and superb destinations offer last minute deals. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break in Florence or Cork, you'll probably have to make allowances to travel somewhere you might not have considered previously to get the best deals. Keep an eye out for new destinations as you may find that your bank holiday break is a great time to explore somewhere new and exciting.
