City breaks are one of the best ways to grab a couple of days away without having to go too far from home. You don't have to spend a lot of money and you can choose to spend just one or two nights away from home, or grab an extra day off work and make it a long weekend instead.

There are two parts to planning the perfect weekend away - you need to choose somewhere with lots of things to see and do to keep you occupied, and you also need to find somewhere to stay that will be close by to all the best places to go. This will give you the best of both worlds.

Unlike Stockholm, the entire city centre of Bruges in Belgium is a World Heritage Site. Waterways and canals are abundant also, whilst the medieval architecture is a big draw for tourists. Sites include the Church of Our Lady, the second tallest brickwork tower in the world at 1,223 meters, as well as the Groening museum which features work by Flemish and Belgian artists such as Jan van Eyck and Dirk Bouts. Nice in France has been a popular winter destination since the English started visiting in the 18th Century. Today it is a great place for relaxation with the chaises bleues at the Promenade des Anglais that runs along the Baie des Anges. The city also offers a Botanical Garden, as well as The Saint Nicolas Orthodox Cathedral: another landmark with links to Nice's historical reputation as a luxury tourist destination.

Prague, Czech Republic

The low cost of spending time in Prague has drastically increased this city's popularity as a city break destination. It's little wonder, considering its excellent cultural and historical attractions. Throw in the many cheap hotels and inexpensive dining options, and it's easy to see why Prague has become a hot discount destination.

Budapest, Hungary

Few European cities boast as many last minute hotel deals as Budapest. Between its vibrant nightlife and its many compelling attractions, the capital of Hungary makes for a truly splendid city breaks. Cheap hotels are abundant in Budapest, so put this hot city on the top of your list.

Something else that you are going to want to look at when it comes to bargain breaks, is what do the breaks include? A lot of times, they will include things like plane tickets, accommodations, and a rental car. Sometimes they include more, and sometimes they include less.

When compared to some other European capitals, Prague's Metro system might seem small, comprising of just three lines across the city. The Metro covers most of the city center, however, and combined with the extensive 24-hour tram network, forms part of an efficient transport system for backpackers.

What's more, public transport in Prague is good value for money as multi-day tickets can pay for themselves after just a few trips. Travelers can opt for 24-hour, three-day or five-day tickets and scenic routes such as the Number 22 tram line offer the perfect way to tour all the city's sights without blowing your budget.
