Whether you are simply looking for Barcelona city travel or the awesome beauty of Florence, there are a good choice of cities for you to contemplate for a city break. In fact, as the UK economy is in a bit of a slump at the moment, this may well work out as being the answer for your getaway to foreign shores this year.
At the top of the list, for the most popular city destination, you still have the delightful French capital, Paris. This city receives literally tens of millions of visitors every year and there is certainly no sign of this popularity ebbing away any time soon.
The next most popular cities are Rome, Venice, Amsterdam, London and one we have already mentioned - Barcelona. City breaks wise, the second city of Spain is actually more of a crowd-puller than the capital, Madrid.
Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, many other countries have offered up their capital cities to take advantage of this lucrative market. Cities such as Prague, Tallinn, Vilnius, Riga and Ljubljana are all attracting an increasing number of tourists every year, and are desperately trying to shake-off their image as being a rowdy hen or stag party only destination.
If you are happy to spend a few more hours on the plane, there are other cities that are becoming popular for a city break and these include the likes of New York, Istanbul, Dubai, Boston and Reykjavik. Offering even more choice to what was already a hard decision to make.
