Midweek City Breaks

Taking a short break holiday during the week offers the best of both worlds. Midweek city breaks are ever more popular nowadays due to more flexible working patterns, so the days of having to take unpaid leave are almost over for many people. Jetting off in the middle of the week will escape those hectic weekend crowds. Not only is sightseeing a more leisurely and rewarding experience, there is no need to fret over long queues for airport check in. If all this wasn't reason enough, midweek cheap short breaks will also save a packet with attractive package deals and giveaway airfares. Midweek summer city breaks are a perfect option in hot and humid cities like Rome or Athens where you can explore at leisure without the annoyingly long weekend queues for sightseeing.

 

Explore fascinating architecture in enchanting Verona, Bruges or Budapest, all delightfully low key during the week or take things even slower in Riga, sleepy Carcassonne, Bilbao or Bratislava. Serious art lovers will escape the huge weekend crowds in the Louvre or Prada art museums in Paris and Madrid respectively and a midweek family trip to Disneyland Paris will take the stress out of having fun. Offseason midweek city breaks in Malta or Dubrovnik will guarantee idyllic beaches all to yourself. Eurostar offers great value midweek fares to Paris, Brussels and Lille that will turn weekend travellers green with envy. Even expensive London will seem like a real bargain with a West End theatre and shopping break during the week.

 

Midweek city breaks can be a lot more adventurous and with a few extra days to spare, you can jet off for some serious shopping in ostentatious Dubai or scintillating New York City. You can also stock up for the coming festive season and save a packet at the same time at the enchanting Christmas markets of Hamburg, Cologne, classy Copenhagen or Prague. A laid back midweek city break in dreamy Venice, Florence or Split are tailor made for a bit of romance and relaxation. Push the boat out a little and savour all the trappings of five star luxury in lavish Monte Carlo, Milan or dazzling Cannes.
