City break as a short vacation? See if it's a good idea – main image

We have two months of holidays ahead of us, which means it's the last moment to plan a trip abroad. Year by year, more and more people choose short trips around Europe instead of a long vacation. This solution is also popular in our country, so it is worth taking a closer look at it and trying to answer the most frequently asked questions.

City break as a short vacation?

Times are changing and so are travel habits, especially when it comes to the summer months. Nowadays, holidays in the country and abroad no longer only take the form of a few-day vacation, but very often take the form of a weekend tourist trip. Let's see what you need to know about this and, above all, let's consider whether such a short vacation makes more sense!

What is a city break?

One of the most interesting forms of traveling, both during the holiday season and at any time of the year, are trips based on the so-called city break. This term simply covers several-day, usually, but not always, weekend trips that take place in urban space. Usually, you go to one of the large tourist cities to discover new locations, visit the most popular monuments, try local culinary delicacies, etc. The aim of the trip is to actively spend your free time in an interesting place and collect as many positive impressions and memories as possible. This does not mean, however, that you do not have time to rest during such a trip, but it is important not to waste time and get to know a given city thoroughly.

Where to go for a short vacation?

In this case, everything really depends on the individual preferences and time and financial possibilities of the travelers themselves. However, there are so many offers on the market that everyone should find something they like. The most popular destinations for multi-day trips include cities such as Paris, Rome, Milan, Venice, Barcelona, Malaga, Berlin, Lisbon and London. Among the closer locations, the most noteworthy are, of course, Prague, Vienna, but also Copenhagen.

How to organize a city break in Europe?

There are plenty of possibilities in this area, especially if we want to travel to one of the European cities. Our continent offers many tourist attractions at the highest possible level, and most of them are within reach of literally everyone. However, when planning a city break, you should prepare for it as best as possible, including making all reservations well in advance, even several months in advance. Of course, we are talking about purchasing airline tickets, but also booking accommodation, e.g. in advantageous Flight + Hotel packages, as well as purchasing travel insurance or trip cancellation insurance.

Atlantic Pyrenees - the treasure of (two) nations
The Atlantic Pyrenees, also known as the Western Pyrenees, is a beautiful department in the southwest of France. It is made up of the historic province of Béarn and the French part of the Basque Country, and its prefecture is the city of Pau. As a cross-border mountain range located on the border between Spain and France, the Atlantic Pyrenees are quite a tourist attraction - a strong point on the map of Europe for all lovers of raw nature and active recreation. For some, the range resembles the Alps a bit (due to limestone ridges and deep valleys), and among the many advantages of the region are the abundance of forests and the number of generally accessible shelters and huts. It is impossible to ignore the freedom of camping and lighting fires. A tourist who has decided to spend a vacation in the Atlantic Pyrenees will feel fully connected with nature. Both the French and Spanish parts of the range are geologically and biologically diverse. In the north, deciduous forests predominate, many of which have their original character - the last representatives of the Pyrenean bears can be found there. In turn, the southern part, due to better sunlight, is covered with more species of thermophilic flora, and conifers are dominant among trees. Compared to the northern part, there are also more pastures here. The villages are located at the foot of the mountains and in the lower parts of the valleys. The main tourist traffic is concentrated under the Pierre Saint Martin passes (Arette la Pierre Saint Martin resort) and Somport (Candanchu resort). In other parts of the region, it is rather small, so visitors can enjoy a comfortable contact with nature. The downside of hiking along this range is poor marking of the routes, which can be difficult for inexperienced tourists, as is the lack of signposts at some trail crossings.
