City Break Insider

 Copenhagen, the colourful capital of Denmark is the perfect destination for a 2–3-day city break. Located in Scandinavia, Copenhagen is definitely the cleanest and most efficient city I have been to in Europe. Starting with their driverless metros straight from the airport to the city centre in less than 20 minutes, being impeccably clean and on time to the minute. Venturing into the city centre, Nyhavn is the most famous area in Copenhagen. The very picturesque canal and entertainment district is an area which is buzzing with life. My advice is to have either lunch or dinner in one of the restaurants on the canal side. Even though you may pay a bit extra, it is worth it for the view. Personally, I think the most interesting area in Copenhagen is Freetown Christiania. The self-proclaimed free neighbourhood in the heart of the city is known as ‘The area with no laws’. Although this is technically not true, I still found out very fascinating to walk around the area and see how t...

London, the bustling historic capital of England is the ultimate city break destination. It has something for everyone whether it is its fantastic restaurants, iconic landmarks or historical traditions and culture. The best place to start your London trip is to visit its popular and world-renowned, Buckingham Palace. This historical palace which has been home to England’s Kings and Queens for just under 200 years is a favourite for travellers.  I would recommend timing this to get to see the Changing of the Guard ceremony as this was one of the highlights of my trip. For both history and art lovers, the British Museum is must-see. With millions of objects from all over the world, it really is a ‘world museum’. Access to the museum is free but you must book a ticket in advance as places are allocated on a first come first served basis on the day. No trip to London is complete without a visit to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. I would recommend riding the hop-on-hop-off b...

 Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a history-rich, gothic, and Renaissance-style city in central Europe. In modern times, it is viewed as one of the best locations to visit not just in Europe but the world. This blog will give an itinerary/tips for your visit to Prague and ensure that no matter how long you have on your trip, you make the most of it. Stick around to the end to discover some vital tips to make your trip unforgettable. Personally, I think every trip to Prague should start in the Old Town Square. Surrounded by some of the best restaurants, and bars, and is also home to Prague’s most famous cultural monument, the Astronomical Clock. The Astronomical Clock is the oldest clock still in operation in the world and is over 600 years old. Next, just a short 8-minute walk down the narrow cobbled streets of the Old Town will get you to the iconic Charles Bridge. Here, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of the city looking over the Vltava River and appearing ...

In June 2024, I was struggling to choose from fabulous destinations across Europe. I was undecided between a few places, but when I found out through advertisements that you could book a mystery holiday, my curiosity peaked, and I knew immediately that’s what I would do. After booking, I had a nervous wait for a few hours before my city break was revealed. As I saw Porto on the screen my nervousness disappeared. I was pleasantly surprised and excited as this was not a place where I would usually choose to visit. This blog will be a guide on how to spend 72 hours in Porto. As soon as I arrived, I was met with warm sunshine and a very laid-back atmosphere which I was surprised at considering that it is Portugal’s second-largest city. It was full of colourful buildings, beautiful views and delicious food which was perfect for what I wanted. Although I did not expect a lot from the hotel, I was taken aback by how amazing our hotel was considering the price. The only drawback was that it wa...
