City Breaks for Christmas - By: Asifkhan

Most short break holidays or weekends have been single city breaks. Europe's capital cities are favorite’s destinations, with London, Amsterdam and Prague being the favorites. I wanted to talk about multiple city breaks because that's a more challenging form of short break holiday to organize and make arrangements for. For multiple city breaks Europe has the advantage over larger continents in that there are plenty of wonderful cities not too far apart from each other. So you could fly in and out to Rome, for example and still visit Florence, Copenhagen and Bruges within a reasonable time frame - say less than one week for the complete city break.
The distance between cities in Europe is really not so great as often imagined due to the language and culture changes when passing from one to another. Europe also has lots of little countries around the Balkans and central European area, such as Croatia, Serbia, Czech and Slovenia all of which have fascinating historical capitals, handy for multiple city breaks in Europe, all being not very far away from each other.
Amsterdam
There are various things you can do in Amsterdam to fully appreciate the culture and history of the city. Amsterdam is consistently voted as one of the prettiest cities in Europe combine that with its' rich history makes for a perfect city break. Amsterdam is famed for the small coffee shops and bars that you can visit. These are the places where you will be able to be exposed to the most culture while you are in Amsterdam.
Bruges
Bruges in Belgium is the European Capital of Culture. This destination can easily be compared to Venice. It has low romantic bridges, a picturesque skyline and a labyrinth of waterways.
Budapest
Budapest is a wonderful city in two parts, Buda and Pest, separated from each other by the Danube. There are fabulous places to see on both sides of the river, including the World Heritage site, Buda castle district.
Prague
Prague has inspired many flattering descriptions most of which are justified. It is one of Europe's most popular city-break tourist destinations and even though some of that popularity can be accounted for by its appeal to those seeking stag or hen night fun, many more flock to Prague to savour its immense treasure store of art, history and culture. Prague's most visited tourist spot is its castle and that is certainly one attraction not to be missed.
