Seeking a short break in a vibrant city? Just an hour from the UK, Amsterdam city breaks are ideal for weekend getaways. Known for its iconic coffee shops, scenic canals, and more cycle lanes than anywhere else you've seen. Not to mention, Amsterdam is a cultural and art hub, with the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House showcasing world-class art and history. Why not book a hotel in Amsterdamn’s Museum Quarter? And if you’re more of a party animal, you’d be better placed near the lively Red Light District and many bars. Stay at the stylish Urban Lodge Hotel for easy links and luxe lodgings.

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.

New York City Breaks

Discover unbeatable deals on New York city breaks year-round. Experience the city's vibrant seasons, from Central Park’s cherry blossoms in spring to alfresco dining in Washington Square during summer, and marvel at the iconic Christmas window displays on Fifth Avenue in winter.

Choose from a range of hotels in various neighbourhoods, whether you want to stay in the bustling tourist centre or explore the city's hidden gems, like at the elegant Park Central New York in the heart of Manhattan.
