City Breaks

There’s nothing quite like the energy of a city. It is somehow infectious and uplifting, and recharging. A city break may be the perfect type of holiday for you. Discover the best a city has to offer. Shop neighbourhood shops, boutiques and markets and hunt for bargains along with the locals. Tap into the city’s arts scene by visiting its museums, attending concerts, plays and performances. Get a taste of its unique culinary delights, from ethnic restaurants to cooking schools to locally grown produce. It truly gives you a sense of a city and its residents.

 

Follow the locals to where they hang out and meet new friends. Go to the pubs, the sidewalk cafés, the ice cream shops, the bars and nightclubs to learn what it’s really like to live in that city. Find its parks and watch families playing with their children, dogs splashing in puddles and have a picnic surrounding by an oasis of green in the city. Feel like a hometown fan by going to a sporting event featuring the local team, whether it’s football, rugby or baseball.

 

And for at least a little while, put away the map. Let the streets take you to new neighbourhoods to make new discoveries of your own. You never know what you’ll find off-the-beaten path. Soak up the history in cities like Paris, Rome, and Prague. Have a hot dog from a street vendor in Boston, New York or Chicago. No two will be the same.
