Cheap city break for less than £250pp

Cheap short breaks are easy to find, with many offering great-value accommodation, low-cost public transport and plenty to eat and drink without breaking the bank. Generally, for breaks in Europe, central cities such as Prague, Krakow and Budapest, and the Baltics (Tallinn, Vilnius and Riga) are excellent budget destinations. You can also find cheaper options in the likes of Italy, Spain and France. Head south in Italy to Naples and Palermo. In Spain, smaller cities, such as Toledo and Cordoba, tend to be much cheaper than big hitters Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia, while Toulouse, with its large student population, is a top budget choice for France. Outside of Europe, Marrakech, in Morocco, provides great value on a short break. Of course, if you compare prices and are flexible on when you travel (and perhaps don't mind a cheaper hotel), you can book cheap city breaks almost anywhere.

European city breaks

There's a reason why travellers can't get enough of weekend breaks in Europe: no two city breaks are the same. Whether you're after romance, nightlife or just a short budget break, these European cities will draw you in for a closer look…

How do I find the best deal for a city break?

Finding the best deal for a city break is easy if you can be flexible. Visit summer cities that are busy in spring and autumn when crowds are thinner, prices lower and queues shorter.

For summer bargains, look for midweek city breaks instead of weekend breaks. Be flexible with travel dates and look at using a low-cost airline, and you're likely to make even bigger savings on your city break.

Know of a major event in your destination? It’s best to avoid them if you’re after a city break bargain. Places such as Venice are busy in summer, but the annual carnival (Feb/March) here also sees tourists flooding the city streets, pushing up hotel prices.

How do I find the best deals for a last-minute city break?

When is the best time to book a cheap last-minute city break? Well, according to TravelSupermarket data, it’s two weeks before your departure date.

Most people tend to look for deals between four and two weeks before the day of departure, while some leave it as late as one week before. Quick and easy, city breaks make for great late escapes – especially if you’re travelling to a European destination.

Generally speaking, the closer you get to the date, the cheaper it gets – taking a risk here can pay off. However, if you leave it to the absolute last minute (as in the week of), there’s likely to be a jump in price.

Best city break destinations for couples

Sneak away for a cheap weekend break, go big in New York, or plunge into the unfamiliar with your other half – whether it’s romance or adventure you’re after, a holiday in one of these exciting destinations will only bring you closer together.

Best city break destinations for culture

Got that must-do list ready? Good, you’ll need it in these cities. With museums and galleries, architecture and art, history tours and a packed cultural calendar, you might not get through all the sights in one short visit, but that’s all the more reason to return.

Best city break destinations for nightlife

Night owl? These high-energy destinations are at their best when you are. Chill pints at a pub, dancing ‘til dawn, or something entirely different… whatever kind of night out you’re looking for, in these cracking cities the party only stops when you want it to.

Book your holiday with confidence

We advise looking out for companies that provide ATOL protection. This ensures that you will be looked after if either all or part of the travel you have booked goes wrong. All of the holiday partners on TravelSupermarket are protected by ATOL.
