From wining and dining to museums, monuments and cultural or shopping hotspots, cities are the heart of our world — and an absolute traveller’s delight. The best thing about a city break is that it can be enjoyed any time of the year — rain, snow, or shine. It’s the perfect option for those wanting to spilt up a long year whilst waiting for a main holiday.
