City Breaks

City breaks and staycations are as popular as ever thanks to the fabulous array of gorgeous locations the UK has to offer. Get out there and get exploring!

A city break in the UK offers a refreshing escape from everyday life, even if just for a day or two. The convenience of being able to reach exciting cities by car or public transport and the wide range of accommodation options to fit any budget, have helped make city breaks a realistic option for a short getaway for many people. Whether you're exploring the historic streets of Edinburgh, savouring the vibrant culture of London, or delving into the maritime history of Liverpool, there's a city to suit every preference. You can immerse yourself in world-class museums, sample diverse cuisine, or simply stroll through picturesque parks. A city break in the UK lets you explore new places and come away feeling refreshed, without needing the extensive organisation that a trip abroad requires.

Whether you’re looking for a quick getaway in the middle of your work schedule, romantic city breaks or fancy swapping your quiet, rural town for a couple of days in a bustling city, you’ll have plenty of locations to choose from with our city breaks.
