Once upon a time, a vacation was an extended period away from home for at least a week. However, over the past decade or so, a different type of vacation has risen in popularity: the city break.
How does a city break differ from a “standard” vacation?
The main difference with a city break is the length of the stay – the term is usually used to describe a short stay that lasts for between two and five days. In addition, there’s a slight difference in what people do with their time; the focus of activities will be on the city itself, rather than staying in one area and potentially venturing elsewhere for day trips or excursions (as is more common with a standard vacation). Instead, the city – and its sights – are your focus for the duration of the time you spend away.
Which cities are most suitable as city break destinations?
Technically any city can be a city break destination, but there are a few that tend to be the most popular. New York, for example, is a popular choice; you can see iconic landmarks such as the Empire State Building, shop up a storm on Fifth Avenue, and choose a Broadway show with the help of the infographic below and be sure of an incredible experience. Los Angeles is also popular, especially if you’re a fan of movies and want to experience the glitz of Hollywood for yourself, and Washington DC is a great choice if you want to see some of the most famous spots in the entire US – such as the US Capitol, the White House, and the Washington Monument – for yourself.
Why should you try a city break?
City breaks are a chance to explore somewhere new, partake in exciting activities, and enjoy a break from everyday life, but without needing to take an extended period of time away from your life. If you’ve never tried a city break before, then doing so in future is something you won’t regret!
