Can’t decide where to go? You’ve got some of the world’s most iconic capitals on your doorstep!

Amsterdam City Breaks
Located around an hour away from the UK, city breaks in Amsterdam are a top choice for short breaks. Coffee shops, canals and more cycle lanes than you’ve probably ever seen in one place - it’s a city like no other. Everyone has something different in mind when they come here, that’s why we have hotels to suit every taste. Art lovers and couples will favour accommodation near the Museum Quarter. More of a party animal? Then you’d be better placed near the lively Red Light District and many bars.

Barcelona City Breaks
Barcelona somehow manages to blend laid-back beach days with busy city life - and the best part is, you can flit between both. Find a base close to the coast and spend most of your days relaxing, or choose a hotel within walking distance from the tapas bars of the Gothic Quarter. Families will love Gaudi’s multi-coloured artwork around the city. While most football fans come here for one reason: to experience Camp Nou (home of the legendary Barcelona FC) even if it’s just for a tour.

Cliffside bars, pavement cafes and shimmering views of the Adriatic - city breaks in Dubrovnik are pretty impressive. You’ll be amazed by its antique backdrop as soon as you step foot through Pile Gate (the city’s grand entrance). Couples will love its romantic vibes as they stroll along the marble main street in search of somewhere to eat, while Game of Thrones fans could easily spend their entire trip visiting the many filming locations.
