All opinions are mine and mine alone.
If you’ve decided that this is the year that you’re going to head to an array of different cities, both at home and abroad; you’ll find that they are places with endless possibilities and a great chance for an adventure. Whatever you enjoy doing; there will be something for all, and an activity that will help you to make the most of your chosen destination. City breaks are the perfect escape for couple, fun trips with your best friends, and you’ll never feel lonely if you’re traveling solo. Therefore, it’s time to start creating a list of the locations that you’ve always been curious about, and deciding on the sorts of things you’d like to pop on your itinerary.
Planning and preparation will prove very important when you’re organizing your city break. With so much to do in a busy and jam-packed environment; you don’t want to feel overwhelmed once you arrive. Therefore, start with all your transport options and your accommodation so that you can begin to plan all the fun stuff on each day and night of your stay. Whether you plan to stay in a capital city or not; it’s all about finding out what the must-see sights are, and what are the must-do activities so that you and your travel companions can make the most of wherever you’re going. The following are some ideas and inspiration for those who want to have the best city breaks possible this year, and who are ready to start the planning process.
Book Something Special
A huge part of the fun you’ll have when you visit a new city is exploring and discovering hidden gems, and visiting places on a whim. However, it’s always worth booking something special on one or two of your days so that you’ll ensure you have ticked something off your bucket list. Booking an escape room experience, theater tickets, or a meal in a particular restaurant will also give you a focus, and you can plan your day’s activities around a specific location. It’s worth looking online beforehand to see if there are any special deals, or if people have recommended certain times to go and do something. Book your tickets or table, and you’ll feel happy and confident in the fact that you know where and when you’re going to head somewhere on arrival.
Get A Bit Lost
As previously mentioned; exploration and discovery are some of the best bits about a city break. Therefore, heading away from the heavily saturated areas and tourist spots could be the best way to find a hidden gem. Whether it’s a tiny coffee shop that only the locals know about, or an independent gallery or store; getting a little lost in your chosen city will always be exciting and worthwhile. There’ll also be no need to worry about getting back to your hotel or apartment; cities will be full of cabs and people who know exactly which direction you should be heading towards, so don’t be fearful of asking. Plan ahead, be brave, and you’ll have the best city-based adventure you could wish for.
