City Break Season

Image source

Spring is the awakening season for more than just nature.  It is generally the time of year when that traveller's itch starts to itch that bit more!  With Winter over and the Summer in sight the urge to get out of the house, the town, the country becomes unbearable.  Given that it is still too cold/wet/elementally unreliable to plan an excursion based solely on outdoors living and pursuits, we flock in our thousands to various cities across Europe looking to scratch that itch with some urban sampling of the foreign variety. 

Over the next few weeks the Top Tips for Trips Blog will focus on European city destinations and what they offer the itchy tourist :)

Having just returned from a 5 day trip to Paris (in case you're wondering I was not swept there for a romantic Valentine's weekend....a girly shopping spree took priority!), the French capital is first on my list for review.  Still itchy after the spree I immediately booked a weekend in  Berlin on my return-so I will end  my city break season with a review of the German capital.  In between expect lots of tips for city breaks in Europe, including my top ten picks!  

For now I leave you with a word of advice: If you want to fit in a mini-break between now and summer NOW is the time to book :)

Mystery city-breaks abroad in October for just €250 pp.

The summer may be coming to a close, but this doesn't mean that the airports are!  If anything it becomes cheaper and easier to fly!  Autumn and Spring are more than filler periods between the ski and sun seasons.  They have their own holiday genre, and it happens to be one of my favourites.  Say hello to the city break!


City breaks are a great way to experience Europe in short, affordable stints.  To get the best value from your trip I would recommend booking your flights and accommodation as far in advance as possible.  If you want to go on a mini-break in October then I recommend getting it sorted now.  I have already seen some great deals and destinations on offer.  For now I am going to keep them a secret, but I will let you in on this great special offer from Mysterytrips!
