Summer’s closing. City break season is just beginning.

AND WHAT A SUMMER!!

There’s always a moment when you realise summer is slipping away. The evenings arrive a little earlier, you reach for a jacket before leaving the house and the last of the warm weather photos make you wish you could do it all again.

But here’s the good part: the close of summer is the start of city break season.

Imagine a long weekend with nowhere urgent to be. Paris streets with a wander along as the lights come on, then step into a little bistro. The windows mist over, the glasses clink and for a while the world outside can wait. Ah, cest la vie.

Or perhaps you’re after one more taste of sunshine. Barcelona still has that irresistible buzz: an afternoon spent exploring, followed by hot tapas arriving at the table and cold beers that taste even better after a day on your feet. In Lisbon, you can follow the light down winding streets and settle in somewhere cosy as evening falls.

When you’re ready to embrace the colder days, there are cities made for it. Prague’s cobbled streets feel especially romantic after dark. Kraków invites you to slow down over a warming drink in a café. And Rome? Rome has a way of turning an ordinary autumn stroll into a story you’ll tell when you get home.

That’s the joy of a city break. You don’t need two weeks off or a packed itinerary. Just a few days, someone you love spending time with and the freedom to see where the streets take you. Summer may be closing its doors, but there’s plenty still to look forward to.

Your city break starts at your door. When the flights and hotel are booked, We’ll SENDACAR and take care of your transfer to and from East Midlands or Birmingham Airport. Set off in comfort, come home without the parking hassle and leave more room in the weekend for the moments you went away to enjoy.

Where will autumn take you?
