The best destinations for a weekend break

By Patricia Guntwistle


There are many reasons why you might just want a short break somewhere over a weekend. Perhaps you are holidaying on a budget, or you just couldn't get the time off work, but you are still desperate to get away for a bit to unwind. Or maybe it's a romantic weekend with a special someone. Whatever the case, it can be difficult to choose the right destination for these fleeing visits.

Rome is the perfect place for a weekend visit. Within it there is some of the most glorious ancient architecture and thousands of years of history to experience, along with vibrant string of cafs to lounge around in, and some great opportunities to shop. Though it is a big and busy city, there is a king of tranquillity to be found in some of the quaint cafs and amongst the ancient walls of the coliseum.

The amount of coverage on T.V., in photographs, and just the amount people who have visited it go on about it, can make you a little sceptical that Paris really is as great as people make out. But don't be put off, because all the great places, the Eiffel Tower, La Louvre, Notre Dame, really are as breathtaking and humbling as you have heard, and the city as a whole really is as romantic. This is the best place to take someone you care about for a weekend.

Another place to take a hopeless romantic is Venice, Italy. It has intricate network of beautiful canals, lined with quant bars and cafs and excellent restaurants. Floating gently down on of the canals in a gondolier is amazing, and wherever you get off you are sure to find culture and beauty that will take your breath away.

As should be clear by this article, the best places to go for a weekend break are cities. They are dense bundles of culture and activity that means even in a short stay you will be able to see and do a huge so much.
