City Breaks - HolidaySave

Barcelona

Barcelona pairs beach and city-break in one trip: Gaudi’s astonishing Sagrada Familia and the sweeping Park Guell are unlike anything else in Europe, and the Gothic Quarter’s tangle of medieval streets is made for an evening of tapas and vermouth..

£23 from London, return

Milan

Milan is Italy’s style capital: the Duomo’s rooftop terraces, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and world-class shopping sit alongside real Milanese trattorias away from the tourist strip..

£25 from London, return

Belfast

Belfast has reinvented its docklands into one of the best museum visits in the UK and Ireland, Titanic Belfast tells the ship’s story right where she was built, while the Cathedral Quarter’s pubs and live music make for a proper night out..

£25 from Liverpool, return

Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns (both UNESCO World Heritage sites) pack castles, closes and one of Europe’s most dramatic skylines into a walkable city centre..

£27 from London, return

Lisbon

Lisbon’s hills, yellow trams and pastel-de-nata bakeries make it one of Europe’s most charming capitals, with the Alfama and Bairro Alto districts made for aimless wandering..

£29 from London, return

Frankfurt

Frankfurt’s skyline along the Main gives it a very different feel from most German cities, with a compact old town (rebuilt after the war) and an excellent museum embankment right on the river..

Parma

Parma is a compact, elegant Italian city best known for the food that carries its name, real Parmesan and prosciutto, with a beautiful old-town core built around its cathedral and baptistery..

£30 from London, return

Dublin

Dublin’s Georgian streets, live-music pubs on the Liffey’s banks, and Guinness Storehouse make it one of the best-value short breaks from the UK..

£30 from London, return

Genoa

Genoa is Italy’s biggest port city and one of its most underrated: the restored historic harbour (redesigned by local architect Renzo Piano) has a huge aquarium and open waterfront, and the old town’s caruggi, impossibly narrow medieval alleys, hide some of the best pesto and focaccia you’ll find anywhere..

£30 from London, return

Shannon

Shannon puts you within easy reach of Ireland’s west coast without the Dublin detour.

£30 from London, return

Bologna

Bologna is Italy’s food capital and home to Europe’s oldest university, which gives the city a lively, youthful feel around Piazza Maggiore and its leaning medieval towers.

£30 from London, return

Paris

Paris needs little introduction: the Eiffel Tower, a walk along the Seine, the Louvre and Musee d’Orsay, and the hilltop streets of Montmartre are all within reach of each other, with cafe culture on every corner in between..

£30 from Birmingham, return

Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City is one of Europe’s most dramatic small capitals, the old town sits on cliffs above the Grund quarter and the Alzette river gorge, and the Chemin de la Corniche walk along the ramparts gives some of the best free views in Europe.

£31 from London, return

Valencia

Valencia is the birthplace of paella and one of Spain’s most underrated city breaks: the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, the Turia Gardens (a former riverbed turned 9km park), and a proper beach all in one city..

£31 from London, return

Cork

Cork is Ireland’s second city with a food scene to match its reputation, the covered English Market has been trading since 1788, and the colourful Shandon quarter is made for wandering..
