Europe Short Breaks - By: Asifkhan

Most short break holidays or weekends have been single city breaks. Europe's capital cities are favourite destinations, with London, Paris and Barcelona and Brussels being the favorites. Aha say the pedants, but Barcelona is not a capital city? Oh yes it is. It's the capital of Catalonia so that's enough of that. 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, Milan and Pisa within a reasonable time frame - say less than one week for the complete city break.

To get the best out of Brussels city breaks take to your feet and have a stroll around or climb aboard one of the many tours around the city. Brussels is fairly easy to navigate your way around due to its straightforward division into Lower and Upper towns.

Berlin, Germany
This German capital is chock full of excellent attractions, and many of them are incredibly low priced. It's possible to get a steeply discounted museum pass for the many great places on Museum Island, for instance, allowing you to soak up a bit of culture without spending a fortune. Accommodations in Berlin come in a wide range, but there are plenty of budget options.

Bruges, Belgium
Situated right on the sea, the ancient city of Bruges is stunningly beautiful - and wonderfully low priced. There is a plethora of fascinating monuments to take in for absolutely free; the popular Belgian pastime of enjoying topnotch beer is also a low cost way to enjoy the city. Flights into Bruges - as well as many hotels - are very reasonably priced.
Short break packages are offered by various traveling and touring agencies. Europe particularly is a place where every country and every city has its own charm and thus has a continuous flow of short breakers and tourists from different places visiting. Some of the most visited places in Europe are Paris, Brussels, Venice, Berlin, London, Scotland and Rome.
You might want the bright lights and excitement of a city break. Take your tour pick: Amsterdam, Berlin, Venice, Prague, Brussels, Budapest, or for the ultimate in entertainment: Riga.
