Shopping short breaks - Beautiful neighbourhoods
Shopping weekend breaks will draw you to famous streets and neighbourhoods like the Castle District in Budapest, the Mercerie in Venice or Greenwich Village in New York. Browse the traditional shops, antique galleries and second hand stores of historic Edinburgh or explore superb modern shopping centres like Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. Shopping city breaks in Paris mix sophisticated fashion with the charming stores of pretty Parisian neighbourhoods. Pedestrian or largely car-free areas in cities like Amsterdam, Venice, Brussels and Rome ensure shopping short breaks remain a relaxing experience despite the retail excitement!
Shopping weekend breaks - Street markets and specialist shops
Every shopping city break should search out the fascinating street markets that add so much to the personality of a city: Portobello, Brick Lane and Camden in London or the unforgettable Sunday Rastro in the streets of Madrid. For a shopping city break with a difference, fly off to Dubai where traditional markets rub shoulders with some of the world’s most astonishing state-of-the-art shopping centres with tax-free prices.
