City breaks

City Breaks to Europe

Diverse. This is a word that describes city breaks to Europe very well. But which breaks are worthwhile and which less so? Weeks of online research will lead you to the conclusion that every country on the European continent deserves a short visit. Eastern Europe for instance has a charm in itself and you will be amazed at the wonders of some of the countries like Romania and Slovakia. Or rather experience the western charm of France, Spain or Wales. Your experince here no matter where you go will be marked by encounters with interesting people of a rich cultural diversity.

One very popular European holiday is what is referred to as City breaks. This is a nice way to spend your time in one city and nowhere else.This is almost a perfect way to get very close to the country and the locals.

Glasgow City Breaks

It is a great shame that the majority of visitors to Edinburgh (the capital city of Scotland and the nation’s top holiday destination) fail to visit the wonderful city of Glasgow which is only a short distance away.

Glasgow is growing in popularity as a vacation destination but most tourists are attracted to the city because of it’s reputation for having exciting nightlife. Glasgow has much, much more to offer visitors, especially the more culturally minded, and below I introduce one superb places to visit associated with arts and culture.

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum:

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery is Glasgow and Scotland’s premier museum and art gallery, and home to one of Europe’s great civic art collections.

Then after a hard day’s European cultural intake in Glasgow you can take a break in one of the city’s many pubs:

Cheap weekend breaks in Europe ? ?

Looking to go to Prague for a long weekend in December any good sites or places to book ? (UK only)

Prague is great, just returned from there.

Krakow is also great.

both are very reasonably priced.

Prague, I rented a great condo, great location, large, see link. About US$135 per nite. But I next time, I would look into a condo on Castle Hill, as that is where I spent most of my time, and it’s a tram ride or a long walk from the condo I rented, in Josefev (or something like that) just NE of the old town square. Talk to Jiri, he may have something else.
