Exciting news at Cities Direct. We are just about to launch a new range of multi-centre city breaks. We will be featuring some classic twin city breaks such as Rome and Venice but also putting together some new ideas.

There are still some great deals to be had on Venice city breaks this summer. The Hotel Ai Mori d’Oriente, (a Cities Direct favourite) is offering 3 nights for the price of 2 on many dates throughout August. There are also a selection of hotels in Rome offering free nights if you book a Rome city break in August. These range from the luxurious 5* Aldrovandi Palace to another Cities Direct favourite, the 3* Amalia so it is definitely still worth booking a city break for travel in the next few weeks.

We’re selling more and more Warsaw City Breaks, and it’s a great choice of destination with some really good prices on 4 and 5 star hotels. Although Warsaw was almost entirely destroyed during the Second World War, it was meticulously rebuild over the following decades. The Old Town is now UNESCO World Heritage listed and home to the barque Royal Castle and St John’s Cathedral. However the city is constantly changing and also ha great shopping areas and many good restaurants to offer the visitor. For your own personalised city break quote to Warsaw give us a call on 01242 536900.

The summer appears to be a complete wash out so there has never been a better time to book a city break to get away from it all. Even if you can’t travel on your city break until later in the year at least it gives you something to look forward to. Although there are some good late deals around on our city breaks, the best prices are still to be had if you book your break well in advance. Cities Direct are just about to launch an exciting new range of multi-centre city breaks and spa breaks. Keep checking the website to get some great ideas for your next city break.

The Villa Borghese in Rome is one of Europe’s most elegant parks. The park is a wonderful destination during your city break, morning, afternoon and evening! The Villa Borghese has incredible views over the Eternal city and has massive areas of green space for relaxation and is a favourite with families and nature lovers. It is also home to historic buildings, museums, galleries as well as a zoo to keep the kids happy! The Villa Borghese is a great asset to your Rome city break especially during the summer months!

I have been reading about the Polish city of Poznan recently and think that this would make for an interesting city break. The city’s historic centre is Poznan’s real draw and in particular the Old Town Square which is dominated by the Renaissance-style town hall. You can travel on a city break to Pozan from Liverpool, Stansted and Luton. If you are on a budget this would make a great city break choice as there are some great deals to be had as the city has yet to really make its mark as a city break destination.

This time of year city breaks that offer a beach as well are very popular. Valencia makes a great choice, and Malvarrosa Beach is Valencia’s excellent urban beach and has more than a mile of fine golden sand. The beach is well located close to the city, and is well equipped with volleyball nets and cycle path. This city beach also offers windsurfing, jet-skis and sailing and there are a variety of good seafood restaurants just meters from the beach. Fancy a city breaks in August – give us a call and we can check availability for you. PS - temperature in Valencia today is 34 degrees!

Paris has just launched Europe’s biggest bike-sharing scheme. More than 10,000 cycles will appear at self-service points across the capital. Anyone with a bank card can borrow one – and simply return it to another station within 30 minutes and it’s totally free!! This should be an excellent bonus for your Paris City Break – let us know if you need any further information.

St Petersburg as a city breaks destination has always been seen as an expensive choice from the UK, with a limited number of flights and expensive hotel accommodation. However, there are now more and more option to include St Petersburg as part of a twin or triple centre holiday. If thinking of travelling from Scotland, Berlin, St Petersburg and Riga makes a great combination of city breaks all with direct flights.

Italian city breaks seem to be very popular at the moment. People do expect the weather to be good in cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice, and there are some really good deals for Italian cities in August.

The demand for Christmas Market city breaks is really starting to hot up now. With so many direct flights from the UK to a host of European cities there has never been such a choice for Christmas Market shopping. Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Berlin, Krakow, Warsaw, Oslo Stockholm, Gothenburg, Brussels, Copenhagen, Prague, Rome all host Christmas markets which would make december city break extra special. When it comes to Christmas Market city breaks, the general rule is the earlier you book the cheaper it is going to be. There are some great offers out at the moment so my advice to anyone who enjoys Christmas Market city breaks is pick up the phone and call Cities Direct 01242 536900 to get the best city break deals before they go!

I think people are sometimes put off Swiss city breaks because the country has a reputation for being expensive. In reality you can do a Swiss city break on a budget. Take Geneva as an example. There are direct flights to Geneva operating out of 23 UK airports. Competition on routes helps keep prices down and as with all city breaks if you can be flexible about when you take your short break you can find some bargain prices. Booking well in advance is also a sure fire way of making a Swiss city break affordable. And once you get to Geneva, there is so much to do without needing to dip in to your wallet. The location is stunning. Set on the shores of Lake Geneva visitors can enjoy the beach or exploring the cobbled streets of the Old Town. On Saturdays many of the nearby vineyards offer complimentary wine tasting and for a couple of euros you can go behind the facades of organisations such as the UN, International Red Cross and the WTO.

The Spanish city of Zaragoza is to get a makeover that will boost its image as it gears up to host Expo 2008. This will undoubtedly raise city’s international profile and it will start to make its mark as a city break destination. A new high-speed train link connecting the city with Madrid in less than two hours also makes a twin centre city break with Madrid an attractive option. At present there is a direct flight from Stansted only but as with all up and coming city break destinations other carriers will follow suit once a city’s profile is raised.

There seems to be more and more confusion over telephone numbers at the moment, especially with all the changes to 0870,0800, etc which are been introduced early 2008. We always try to make booking a City Break holiday as easy as possible, and therefore decided to go back to our normal number – 01242 536900. We understand that this will make it cheaper for clients to contact us about their city break request. Let us know if you think this is a good idea – if not what would make your life easier? Call our city breaks experts now on 01242 536900

Now all the winter schedules are coming on sale, it’s a great time to book your city break for departures from November 2007 to March 2008. In general, the earlier you book the cheaper the price, and November, January and February are particularly good times to be getting 4 and 5 star city hotels for some very low prices. Give our expert staff a call now and get the very latest prices and deals.

If you are the sort of person that likes to do a city break to a new destination before the word gets out, a city break to Istanbul could be just what you are looking for. A flight time of just 4 hours definitely makes this a city to consider if you have a few days to enjoy a short break. The low cost airlines are starting to get interested in Istanbul which is great news for city break fans. Flights are now available from Luton to Istanbul but let's hope that is just the beginning of bigger things and that very soon other carriers will jump on the bandwagon and start flights from more regional airports across the UK making a city break to Istanbul a real must.

It might seem a bit early but when it comes to christmas market city breaks, it is definitely a case of the early bird catching the worm. The sooner you book your christmas market city break, the cheaper it is going to be leaving you with more to spend on christmas gifts. I think Copehagen makes a great destination for a short break just before Christmas. The city takes on a magical quality which definitely puts you in the Christmas mood!

It’s July and it is cold and wet. I definitely need a city break somewhere with sunshine guaranteed! Looking at the weather report, Marrakech could be the perfect choice for a short break. High 30’s and not a cloud in the sky for the foreseeable future. What I love about Marrakech as a city break destination is that it has the feel of a long haul destination but with the benefit of a short haul flight. Within hours you can be in a city that is so different from Europe but you don’t get the jet lag to go with it. If you are booking a city break to Marrakech you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to the hotels. You can treat yourself and choose from the highly affordable 4 & 5 star properties located in the residential area just outside the city walls or opt for the boutique style traditional Riads where you will be treated like royalty. Shopping is a must for me on any city break and the chaotic labyrinth of souks keep me amused for hours without doing too much damage to the bank balance!

Looking at ideas for new city breaks, I can’t believe the number of flights that now operate to a variety of cities in Poland. Most of these cities I have never heard of but if an airline thinks it can make a profit flying to that city then there must be something there! I have just started reading about the city of Wroclaw and I think this would be a great city for a short break to Europe. With flights from Bristol, East Midland, Prestwick, Liverpool and Stansted airports you don’t have to travel too far to hop on a plane. For those who have already enjoyed city breaks to destinations such as Prague and Krakow, I think this would be a great choice for a short break.

Great news that from November this year city breaks to Budapest from Bristol will be available. Budapest is a favourite short break destination amongst the staff in our office so with the launch of the direct service just down the road there will be no excuse for me not to pop over for a weekend break to find out why it is such a top city break destination.

Bailey, the 3 month old retriever puppy had me up for most the night again. Gorgeous as he is, I really need him to give me a break from night duty. I’ve had all the dog books out again and apparently I need to ignore the barking and hopefully break the cycle. Not so sure the neighbours will agree! Anyway, all this time awake gives me plenty of time to think about travel and where I want to go next. I can’t face the thought of leaving him for too long or with someone else. (I mean who else would understand that he likes to be hit on the nose with his squeaky chicken just before his breakfast?) City breaks are definitely the perfect holiday now. Maybe if I get Bailey a passport he could come along too. I might do some investigation and look at some dog friendly city break options. I might ask the boss if we can put something on the Cities Direct website. I am sure I am not the only one who is barking mad and still likes to travel! Watch this space…

Will we ever get a break from this rain. At least it gives me a break from watering the garden but it would be nice to see the sun break through the clouds every once in a while. When the weather is like this I just want to escape and explore somewhere new. Definitely need to sort out a city break asap.

Great news that easyJet has announced the launch of a new Luton to Vienna flight due to commence on the 29th October this year. Vienna has such magical appeal as a city break destination. The launch comes just in time for those looking for an exciting Christmas Market city break. If you travel on a city break to Vienna from the end of November right up until Christmas Day you will be able to explore the "Christkindlmärkte" on the square in front of the City Hall. Small huts provide you with potential christmas presents, food and most important hot punch and "Glühwein", sweet and heated mulled wine. Definitely a city break to add to my Christmas list. But don’t save Vienna just for a Christmas Market city break, this is a great destination for a weekend break at any time of the year. In this opulent and indulgent metropolis there is a variety of world-class museums to explore, grand palaces such as the Schonbrunn or the Imperial Palace, wide boulevards to wander along and enjoy the magnificent architecture. See the famous white stallions perform or an orchestra perform at one of the many lavish concert halls, such as the Wiener Philharmoniker or the Vienna Boys Choir at the Vienna Conservatorium.

Just back from Barcelona and seriously impressed. When it comes to city breaks this is a destination that is going to take a lot of beating. Spend the morning lazing on the beach, sangria and paella for lunch and then off to the city to do the serious sight seeing bit in the afternoon. Back to the hotel for a quick siesta and then out again to sample some of the finest seafood you are ever likely to come across on a city break! Getting around the city is so simple. The underground is quick and easy to navigate even if you don’t speak a word of Spanish but as the city is fairly compact you can also get around either on foot or using one of the hop on/hop off tourist buses. City breaks are generally over all too soon so as we headed rather deflated to the airport for the return flight imagine my delight when I got through security and discovered shopping heaven! What a fabulous array of shops to use up the remaining euros. Almost a city break in itself, although I am not sure if my husband will agree when the credit card bill arrives…oops!

Venice is a perfect example of a city breaks destination many would be surprised to find in the city breaks and beaches category. Venice itself needs no introduction as a city, but less well known is Venice Lido, an island which separates Venice’s lagoon from the open Adriatic Sea and is situated just a 10 minute boat ride to the south of the main island on which Venice’s historic centre stands. The Lido features an excellent range of hotels to suit all budgets and good bathing along its full 12 km length making it one of the least crowded and most underrated beach resorts on the Adriatic coast. Whenever you fancy a spot of culture, hop on one of the very frequent ‘vaporetto’ water buses to the centre of Venice city or hail your own private water taxi! Then, when you’ve had enough of the tourists and the sightseeing its easy to head back to Lido for more relaxation.

Just reading that Vancouver is the best place to live, according to a survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). The top ten cities are Vancouver, Melbourne, Vienna, Geneva, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Zurich, Toronto and Calgary. So if your looking for inspiration for your next city break, why not try a city break to one of these top ten destinations. Cities Direct can offer city breaks to any of these destinations.

Well looks like we might have another wet bank holiday, just started raining in Cheltenham. However, we’re all very excited today about Ryanair’s new routes from Bristol Airport – as this is one of the nearest airports to our office in Cheltenham. We’re all planning our winter city breaks, as prices are so good at the moment we want to try and get to as many of the new cities as possible!

Environmentally friendly City Breaks are becoming more and more important to our clients, and we can offer a great range of our European City Breaks by train and car as well as by air. The most popular destinations by train are Paris and Brussels, but many other destinations are available. Have a change – and travel by train.

With the choice of flights within Europe getting more each day and prices been so competitive it's a great time to look at combining 2 or 3 cities on the same trip. Our current best sellers are any combination of the four major Italian city breaks destination: Florence, Rome, Milan and Venice. However, there are some other great choices and were getting more and more requests for multi centre city destinations. Give our staff a call on 01242 536900 and we can let you have lots of other ideas!.

Berlin has been one of our most popular new City Breaks destinations from Scotland over the last 6 months. Berlin has so much to offer and is a very vibrant and lively city. Hotels are very good value for money, and our client’s particularly recommend the Park Inn Berlin Alexanderplatz as an ideal base for their city breaks. Berlin City Breaks are available from Glasgow, as well as many other UK airports.

Joy has just emailed and added to our website all the latest city breaks for Christmas and New Year. Still some surprisingly low prices around - so if we can temp you why give yourself a great present this year and get away for a short city breaks

What a great deal - a 3 night Marrakech city break for just £189 per person - and at a 5 star hotel! See our deal of the day for more information.

I was walking through Cheltenham yesterday and the Christmas Market has arrived. Maybe not quite as large as those is Cologne or Baden Baden, but it still had some great stalls selling all sort that you don’t get in the shops - personal favourite is a wooden tie! We’ve still got availability to the many cities in Europe that are famous for their markets, so if you fancy a quick weekend away – give us a call. We’ve still got good availability and price especially to some of the less popular Christmas Market destinations.

We have a lot of customers in the North of England and Scotland – and it’s great that we can offer so many destinations on direct non-stop flights.

The latest destination is Munich from Edinburgh – these Easyjet flights go on sale next month for the summer flights schedules of Summer 2007. We will be sending offers our on our special offer newsletter – so if you want to be one of the first to know sign up to our newsletter now at www.citiesdirect.co.uk

Great article in the Sunday Times travel section this weekend giving a list of the best city break destinations if looking for some snow this winter. There seems to be less and less chance of seeing snow in the UK during December, so why not escape the rain and enjoy that atmosphere that only the brilliant white stuff can bring. The destinations recommended are Prague, Salzburg, Krakow, Stockholm, Tallinn, St Petersburg, Moscow and Reykjavik. These are all cities that you can enjoy the Cities Direct City Break! Give us a call for more information.

Joy, our Office Manager, is in Budapest at the moment and was in touch this morning to say that it had just started snowing! Just reminded me how good it is going away in November and December to one of the many Christmas Market destinations. We’ve also got some great rates at the Corinthia Grand Hotel Royal – a great 5 star hotel in Budapest. I’ve stayed in the hotel along with a number of others in the office, so if you want more information or advice let us know. It makes a great hotel for a luxury city break. Looking forward to weekend now!

If your looking to travel to New York in the near future, there has never been a better time to go and travel in luxury. On the 25th January 2007 the third “all business” class airline will start flying from London to New York. SilverJet www.flysilverjet.com will start flying from Luton to New York, SilverJet joins www.maxjet.com and www.eosailines.co.uk that already fly from Stansted to New York. So you can now combine a luxury flight with a great hotel, to make your New York city break really special. We can add limousine transfers to add the finishing touches! Give us a call to get more information.

I’m writing this at 5.00pm and already dark outside, and trick and treating to look forward to tonight (I’ll let you work out if that’s sarcastic or not !) Anyway, I’ve just reviewed some of our 5 star product on the website – and November is a great time to travel if your looking to do some Christmas shopping while enjoying some 5 star luxury in city centre hotels. Currently we still have good prices in top class hotels in the following destinations: Warsaw City Breaks, Budapest City Breaks, Brussels City Breaks and Barcelona City Breaks. Give us a call and find our more. If these city breaks destinations don’t appeal – we’ve got many other options!?

It’s good to see the start of “low cost long haul” with the inaugural flight from Oasis Hong Kong now in the air, after a short delay because of Russian air traffic control!! For those who want to know more, you can find all the information about this airline at http://www.oasishongkong.com/gb/en/home.aspx I think this is a very exciting development and it will be interesting to see how Oasis develops. Opinion is divided if this business model can work long haul, but then is was divided about the low cost model in Europe and America – and look what’s happened!! The city breaks market has changed forever in Europe, and this may be the start of things to come for the long haul city breaks market. Let’s hope so!!!

Well, back from my holidays and not a city break to be seen – unless you count a short visit to Market Drayton (in Shropshire) as a city break! I’ve been away for a week on a canal boat on the Shropshire Union canal and had a great week. One of my favourite holiday if you need “a get away from it all and recharge you batteries” experience and England in the autumn is a very beautiful place to be. All we in the office on my return, currently working on copy for our new site www.cityapartmentsdirect.co.uk I hope to have this up and running by the end of 2006. Wow – can’t believe it’s nearly November!!

Away on holiday until the 23rd October - so no new posts until then!

Madrid is a great destination, although flights from the UK are not as good as some other city break destinations. However, both Easyjet and Ryanair have announced new routes to Madrid in the last 4 weeks, so look out on our special offers for these new city break deals.

The great airline debate seems to be hotting up - and one thing is for certain, the advertising departments’ of the weekend papers are doing well from it!! For those that missed this weekend's papers it was the turn of Spurt - information can be found at www.unlimted-spurt.org - best described as an upfront organisation! I think there’s certainly a middle ground to be had, and a certain amount of individual choice. Don't forget there's a great range of city break destinations you can travel to by train and car. We don't have all of them listed on our website so if you want more information give us a call on 0870 442 1820.

The news of the week is released today - Ryanair launches a take over bid for Aer Lingus. What an amazing success story Ryanair has been from a slow and difficult start – days when it was almost possible to image that it could ever get to a position of taking over Aer Lingus. Not only is this a reminder to us all how quickly the market changes, but also if you give the customer what they want you will succeed. Ryanair has had a massive impact on the city breaks market, making it so much more accessible, both in terms of routes and prices, than could ever of been imaged even 5 years ago. Go for it Ryanair!

I have been developing our winter product this morning and again there are some great prices in 5 star hotels during November and December. 5 star Budapest City Breaks are again excellent value for money and I know these sold well last year - however Warsaw is also a strong seller for us this winter.

If are interested in travelling to Hong Kong then let us know - and we will be putting out a launch Hong Kong City Break offer in the next four weeks..

We thought a good tag line would be "We have the place that gives you the space" Other suggestion greatfully received!

Had a successful day in London yesterday at the Adtech show in Olympia - information can be found at www.ad-tech.com.

After our recent staff trip to Budapest, I can thoroughly recommend our Budapest City breaks! We stayed at the fabulous 5 star Corinthia Royal Grand Hotel but can recommend a good range of hotels from 2 star upwards. Budapest City Breaks appeal to all ages and this is a great destination for shopping, sightseeing and eating out!

Total agree with Rachael - I thought Budapest was a great city and great short break destination. The centre was larger then expected, and the buildings very impressive. For those travelling from the South West - found a great B&B very close to Bristol airport. If you looking for accommodation the night before an early morning flight - then why not try Lower Stock Farm B&B. Visit www.lowerstock.co.uk or call 01934 862 997

Turin City breaks are a great choice for a weekend city break in November with prices starting from £145 per person. For anyone who is interested in Italy this is a great choice for an affordable break.
