Top 10 sightseeing Breaks

There are many exciting cities around the world that are
perfect to visit for a sightseeing break. Stunning
monuments, unique architecture and wonderful natural sights
help define many cities. Read below for a comprehensive
round-up of the top 10 sightseeing breaks.

1. St Petersburg

Known as the Venice of the north, St Petersburg's elegance
rivals more familiar destinations like Paris and Amsterdam,
although very few destinations can match St Petersburg city
breaks in terms of splendour and grandeur. The interiors of
St Petersburg's palaces, churches and cathedrals are simply
awe-inspiring.

2. Paris

A traditional favourite and perfect for romantic breaks.
Being only 6 miles in diameter, Paris is a fairly compact
city which allows you to take in all of the sights in one
trip. The Eiffel tower, the Champs-Elysees, the arc de
triumph and the Musée du Louvre are just some of the sights
on offer.

3. New York

Ney York has perhaps the most famous skyline in the world
and the island of Manhattan features some iconic sights
such as the Empire State Building, the statue of liberty,
Brooklyn Bridge, central park, the Statue of Liberty and
Broadway.

4. Rome

City breaks in Rome are full of delightful surprises. Often
referred to as a `living museum', Rome invites you to enjoy
the Coliseum, the Forum, the Vatican, the Pantheon and the
Sistine Chapel.

5. Venice

Spend your Venice city break exploring the endlessly
picturesque ancient streets and squares, crossing gorgeous
bridges and of course travelling on the hauntingly
beautiful canals. Sample the wonderful architecture and
artistic heritage around St Mark's Square, including the
stunning Renaissance Doges Palace and the Bridge of Sighs.
First-time visitors will find a short break in Venice can
hardly do justice to the city's wealth of sights, galleries
and museums.

6. Istanbul

There is so much to see and do in Istanbul, a place where
east meets west and contrasting cultures combine. Istanbul
is perfect for a historical break with its wonderful
architecture and mystical atmosphere.

7. Prague

Prague is a city of stunning beauty. Be inspired by
picturesque medieval cobblestone streets, Gothic church
spires, beautiful bridges and gorgeous squares. The
popularity of Prague weekend breaks is down to the sheer
beauty and range of its architectural heritage, with the
wonderful castle area, the cathedral, the cobbled streets
of the Old Town and the breathtaking Charles Bridge.

8. Marrakech

Marrakech has the added benefit of being both exotic and
close to home, offering a lifetime of memories. Explore the
Soukes, watch fire eaters and snake charmers, sample
incredible food stalls, dine on romantic rooftop
restaurants and generally soak up the atmosphere in an
unforgettable cultural adventure.

9. Budapest

Short breaks in Budapest feature one of the most beautiful
cities in Europe, packed with elegant architecture,
magnificent monuments and dominated by the legendary River
Danube. Explore cobbled streets and beautifully restored
medieval buildings in Buda and the magnificent Castle
District with its museums and fine views of the Danube.

10. Berlin

Berlin short breaks are a feast for lovers of architecture,
with 19th and 20th century buildings reflecting every stage
of Berlin's turbulent history. Berlin offers a truly
outstanding choice of art galleries and museums making it
