City Break Holidays 2026

Three nights is the sweet spot for Rome (from £202pp), Prague, Budapest and Lisbon — enough time for the big sights plus a lazy morning. Cities with short flight times from the UK, like Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels, work well too.

London, Edinburgh, York and Bath are the classic choices for a three-night UK city break. TUI city breaks fly you abroad with flights and hotel in one package — if you’d rather stay closer to home, browse our package holidays for UK options.

A two-night European city break with TUI starts at £201 per person with flights and hotel included — Rome from £202pp, Paris from £206pp, Amsterdam and Krakow from £214pp. Most people spend £250–£350pp for three nights in a central European hotel. Long-haul city breaks cost more: Miami from £665pp, New York from £727pp and Dubai from £739pp for three nights.

A city break is a short trip to any city — big or small. We’ve partnered with other airlines to take you to more cities in Europe and beyond.

A city break is usually for two to four days, but if you’re flying further afield, you might want to stay for a week or more.

Barcelona, Lisbon, Paris and Amsterdam are some of Europe’s best city break destinations — they’re brimming with culture and sights.

Once you’ve decided on your perfect city break destination, take a look at the best things to do and start planning your holiday.

A city break can easily be a hand luggage-only affair. Just don’t forget to bring comfy shoes and a roomy bag.

January to March and November are usually the cheapest months to travel — flights and hotels drop once the school holidays end, and Christmas-market season aside, cities are quieter too. Booking two to three months ahead normally gets the best of both price and choice.

Absolutely — the trick is picking the right city. Amsterdam, Berlin, Copenhagen and New York are packed with things kids love, from canal boats to open-top buses. Because every TUI city break bundles flights and a central hotel into one package, you’re never far from a pit stop.

Yes. Every TUI city break that packages flights and a hotel together is ATOL protected, so your money’s safe if anything goes wrong before or during your trip.

Flights and a handpicked hotel, rolled into one package — that’s the core of every TUI city break. You can add extras like hold luggage, transfers and experiences when you book.

Around £50–£80 per person per day covers food, sights and getting around in most European cities — less in Krakow, Budapest and Bucharest. Budget £100+ a day for pricier cities like New York, Dubai, Copenhagen and Oslo.
