City breaks are one of my favourite ways to travel. A few days is often enough time to get a feel for somewhere new, find a few of brilliant places to eat and stock up on history, produce and (if you’re like me) this year’s Christmas presents.
These city break guides bring together practical itineraries, hotel reviews, restaurant recommendations and ideas for what to see and do. I tend to balance the main sights with quieter neighbourhoods, museums, independent shops and the smaller discoveries that can make your short trip feel more personal.
