Short Break Holidays

Our Short Breaks are perfectly planned to make the most of a new location or an old favourite in just a few days. Each of our holidays includes guided excursions and plenty of leisure time, so we’ll be able to immerse ourselves in wherever we travel. We offer a range of destinations in Europe or further afield to select from and enjoy in just 4 to 6 days. Take a trip to Germany’s Black Forest or discover the historic Spanish city of Salamanca.

When travelling only for a few days, it’s important to stay in accommodation that puts you at the heart of a destination, near all of the must-see highlights. On our short break holidays, we find hotels in the most accessible locations, either near the centre of the city or a key attraction, so we can make the most of our time away. Plus, all of our hotels are 3 or 4 stars, so we’re sure to enjoy both convenience and comfort.

In many locations, a guided tour is crucial to understand the incredible history behind the attraction or, can be an important part of navigating a new area. On each of our Short Break holidays, we include excursions with a local, expert guide, so we’ll get a background on the places we visit. In Iceland, our local guide helps us find the best viewing spot for the spectacular Northern Lights. While in Munich or St. Petersburg, a knowledgeable guide will help us understand the incredible history that shaped these world-famous cities.

All of our Short Break holidays are perfectly paced so there is plenty of time for relaxing, exploring independently, or discovering the destination with the help of an expert, local guide. Plus, with recommendations and helpful tips from our guide, we’ll be sure to make the most of our time at leisure. During free time on our various holidays, we’ll have the opportunity to stroll through the charming streets of Salzburg, admire Roman architecture in the ancient city of Bath, or relax in Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik.

With over two decades of experience taking travellers on fantastic holidays, we know how to plan and prioritise to make sure everyone gets the most out of each trip. Our Short Break holidays are specially designed so that we have time to see the most important highlights in each of our destinations in just a few days. Whether you want to explore Northern Italy on our Lake Garda, Venice & Verona holiday or soak up the sun on our Malta Short Break, we have something for everyone.
