Best sites for cheap weekend breaks (europe)?
Wondering about cheap weekend breaks in Europe, but don’t want to fly.
Where can I find true last minute city break?
Lastminute.com used to be great but their true last minute deals all seem to be winter sun now. I’m after a web site that offers last minute deals for places like Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Paris etc. Any ideas?
City breaks and last minute deals do not really go together. The reason is that a week in Tenriffe, say, is based on a charter flight and a contract hotel – both of which are highly perishable products and so it is better to get £10 than £0 for them – hence all the last minute stuff. A city break does not work like that, it is based on a contract rate hotel (which can be cheaper than the normal or “rack” rate) and flights at whatever price they can get. Now, the city break holiday unlike the cheapo Benidorm job is only arranged when someone wants one. If you want to go in the peak season (and now is the peak season for many cities – reason: all the business types are working flat out, conferences, exhibitions and so on) Hence the rather limited special offers.
Cheap city breaks?? What good websites?
I get married next May in Cyprus, but wouldn’t mind going away in the June just me and my Partner (Husband!!!) for a few days 3 days at the most as i have a little boy. I have been looking on some websites and the prices are unbelievable. Im not fussed where i go to be honest, but somewhere nice and sunny. xx
I have the perfect answer for you!
Easyjet package holidays. I find its cheaper than Expedia.
I just booked myself a 3 night city break to Prague. Bed&Breakfast Accommodation in a lovely hotel, taxes, flights, baggage, insurance etc, only £103!! But obviously, its about 2 degrees in Prague! But perhaps if you are going in June these places will be warmer! While Prague was one of the cheapest options, you could find other bargains, its worth a look.
Just to say, my mum got married in Cyprus recently and it really was the most beautiful place to get married:) Have a lovely wedding, and hope you find a lovely break too.

Breaks in London
City breaks in London
When contemplating all the options for city breaks all over Europe, it’s easily done to overlook the possibility of thoroughly enjoyable breaks in London. London may be close to home if you live in the UK , especially in one of the other fabulous cities but London is not like anywhere else in England Wales or Scotland. It’s a world capital city with culture and importance that ranks up there with New York, Paris and Tokyo.
Theatre breaks in London
A great way to enjoy the city is with theatre breaks in London. What we mean by theatre breaks, is a complete package with top show tickets combined with a central London hotel, and maybe rail travel, London Eye or other attractions all included. It means you can see one of the great West End musicals such as Oliver, Les Miserables, Dirty Dancing, Phantom of The Opera, Billy Elliot etc and not have to worry about getting back afterwards. It’s probably the best way to book four star hotels for breaks in London and sometimes the only way to get top tickets for the show you want to see on the date that you can arrange to be in London.
City Breaks Europe to Lille, France
City Breaks Europe – Lille
Lille is one of the lest well known treasure for city breaks Europe, not being a capital city or having a famous airport but when the mayor of Lille negotiated to make sure the new Eurostar service from Paris to London woul dhave an international station at Lille, the future for the northern city as a tourist destination was assured. Historically, the city Lille and surroundings were once part the flemish area of northern Europe, and it is now very much a part of France although the Flemish influence is evident in some of the historic building around the old centre of Lille, and in some of the traditions such as holding a Christmas market every November.
Modern Lille has a huge shopping centre, with all the big French shops so that makes it an interesting candidate for eurostar deals from London, including day trips for shoppers. The journey time from London St Pancras to Lille-Europe station is under 1 1/2 hours!
But never mind day trips, if you want to get to know a lot more about the people and customs of Lille take a few days to make it into one of the most delightful city breaks. Europe has few places left that have been untrampled by international travellers from overseas but Lille is a city with a character that remains 100% northern European.
City Breaks Europe – Lille : How to get there
From London, Paris or Brussels the Eurostar direct fast speed train service is by far the best way to travel to Lille. Similarly, you can make good rail connections from say Manchester or Amsterdam. If you want to bring a car, then the autoroute system in France is very fast and efficient but you will have to pay a toll for longer journeys. Parking in Lille is problematic so when planning city breaks, Europe has great railway systems and cheap airlines whereas the old cities were never really designed for modern traffic conditions so wherever possible it’s best to leave the motor behind.
