The working week is coming to a close and you’re already thinking, “Where can I go this week-end?” It could be Vienna, Lisbon, Dublin or New York! It really doesn’t matter as long as you’re actually leaving for a few days. Let’s face it , you are a “city breaker”! You’re addicted to city breaks…Short stays in cities of Europe or anywhere for that matter are the new way to escape and provide us with a much needed break from our intense and exhausting lives. As a city breaker, you are the one to turn every opportunity into reality by treating yourself to a brief getaway.
Urban weekends abroad or even in your own country are exactly what you need for recharging batteries, enjoying free time and discovering new cultures and new cities. City break is a new trend in our society: breaks are shorter, but occur more often during the year, a great way to explore as many horizons as possible. Winter is such a good reason to take city breaks! If you’re living in a cold, wet climate why wouldn’t you leave for the shimmering skies of South Europe, South America or anywhere you’re pleased to go!? Two to four days is all you need to improve your mood and get some rest while waiting for long holidays. If travelers over 25 and from higher social classes are the first to enjoy this new trend, city break can suit anyone. Is it your first weekend to Berlin, your third time to London or a stay in Madrid after a “business trip”?
Are you a family, a couple, with friends or a lonesome traveler? Whatever! What unifies city breakers is the search for freedom and a strong desire to gain new experiences through traveling. The city break trend has been enhanced by a rapid development in low cost flights. From now on, anyone can go for a low cost trip more regularly, with very little expenditure. Budget airliners have adopted and empowered this evolution by offering a constantly growing range of destinations. More places at your fingertips means more break ideas! If French people are reaching top place for citybreaks, (with three to four weekend trips per year) it’s mostly due to their way of life. Indeed, France benefits from reductions in working hours allowing people to leave as soon as Friday or even Thursday for “long” city breaks. Therefore, it is easier to plan a trip to Marseille, Roma, Stockholm or anywhere else for that matter. Moreover, France is one of the top destinations to go for short breaks, the French don’t need to travel far from home to enjoy nice weekends! But France is not the only place to go…City breakers are also attracted to what is happening everywhere.
Thus, cultural events that take place during the year provide many a good reason to escape the monotony of everyday life, a time to discover cities when they are in a festive mood. During the Lights Festival of Lyon, Saint Patrick’s Day in Dublin, Film Festival of Berlin or Samba Carnival in Rio de Janeiro However, knowing where you want to go is not the only requirement that you will need to fulfill before you leave.
