Cheap Weekend Breaks That Are Just a Few Hours Away

Oct 13, 2020 By Jonathan

Cheap weekend breaks are the perfect way for people to enjoy the outdoors and get away from it all, especially during these trying times. 

Traveling with friends or going solo is easier than ever these days. Remote working and lower prices make shorter trips available more often. 

Whether you like to stay indoors and spend your free time reading, taking in the sights, or enjoying the water, there’s an abundant amount of opportunities for significant cheap weekend breaks – both for adventure seekers and those who simply want to recharge their batteries.

Weekend breaks can include any type of trip, whether for a family break, a honeymoon, or a relaxing holiday. Whether you’re looking for a weekend break with just a few days away, or if it’s longer than that, you’re sure to find some fantastic weekend breaks and destinations online. 

For families who want to get away and relax, you can choose from some of the most beautiful areas around the world.

The key to finding a good weekend break is to find one that appeals to you. If you’re going with the family, you may want to choose a trip where everyone can participate. 

Maybe it’s just you and your partner, or perhaps it’s you and your child; either way, you’ll be happy with the experience and want to come back each year. 

Whatever the case, make sure that you have your travel and accommodation arrangements sorted in advance and make sure that you book up well in advance. 

If you’re going with your whole family, make sure that you plan ahead so that you don’t get stuck in traffic or have to get to the airport and wait in line all day to be put on the plane.

Top 6 cheap weekend breaks

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague, the capital city of the country of the Czech Republic, is divided into five districts. It is located in central Europe, about two hundred kilometers from Germany. Known as the City of One Hundred Spires, it is situated on a hill above the Vltava river. Known for the Old Town Square, constructed in 1401, it is lined with Gothic churches, old buildings of the 15th century, and the Gothic Astronomical Clock. A popular site for holidaymakers, Prague is well-known for its cultural and historical attraction.

When you plan to go on a trip to Prague, there are many things to do in Prague. The most famous activity to do is the famous Prague Castle, a medieval castle that overlooks Prague. It has two wings: the Castle Hill and Castle Square. 

Castle Hill is one of Prague’s most visited places, as it is one of the best places in Prague to watch the city. It offers beautiful vistas, and it provides tourists with a chance to see the castle from different parts of the city. Castle Hill can also be visited in the evening, as the sky is very bright and it is quite romantic at night. From Castle Hill, one can also look out to the Prague Castle.

After visiting the castle, there are other attractions to do in Prague. The Old Town square is one of Prague’s busiest places and one of the oldest areas in the city. It is home to several historic buildings such as the Old Town Hall and is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in Europe. The Old Town Hall is an essential feature in Prague. 

The Old Town Hall is the second oldest city hall after the Prague Castle and is situated in Prague’s north part. The Old Town Hall is surrounded by three historical and historic neighborhoods. The Old Town is full of churches, shops, palaces, streets, buildings, and historical sites.

Valletta, Malta

If you are looking for a holiday that combines historical romance with the thrill of adventure, then visiting Malta may be the destination for you. Known as one of the most beautiful countries in Europe, Malta is a country situated along the western coast of the Mediterranean, between Sicily and North Africa. 

It is a beautiful country known for its ancient monuments related to a long history of knights, Moors, Christians, and Romans. It has many fantastic palaces, magnificent castles, and the world-famous Ħal Saflieni Protovissi, a gigantic underground complex of burial chambers dating back to circa 4000 BC.

There are many different ways of going about this. The most traditional way is to travel to Malta by air. From there, you can either stay in hotels or self-catering accommodation and enjoy some of the most incredible scenery of the Mediterranean. 

If you decide to stay in hotels, it is possible to get a tour guide to visit some of the main sights and temples. In addition, some of the accommodation buildings have a history of being historic. Many of these historical buildings can be explored by taking a walking tour of the city.

You could also choose to travel to the island of Malta by sea if you prefer and stay at one of the many luxury hotels that dot the island and provide excellent facilities such as swimming pools, restaurants, bars, spas, and even shops. 

This is a popular way to go on a holiday trip because you can see some of the island’s more remote corners without leaving your hotel room. You can take in the sights of the beaches and some of the local cuisine. 

Many Malta hotels are also situated near some of the most popular tourist attractions and places to go, such as the Blue Lagoon, the Great Orme, and the Maltese Islands. All of these places are great places to visit while on holiday in Malta.

London, United Kingdom

If you are looking for fun things to do in London, there are plenty of activities to choose from. 

There are several tourist attractions in London for people of all ages, including museums, theatres, parks and gardens, royal tours, art galleries, and shopping. 

There is always something to do in London, whether it’s relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying the many fine restaurants found in the city.

Moscow, Russia

To get the best things to do in Russia, take a trip to the capital city. Moscow, situated at the Moskva River’s head, is Russia’s cosmopolitan capital in Western Russia. The historic center is the Kremlin, home to the Russian president and the Russian government, including the Russian Orthodox Church.

Bratislava, Slovakia

Bratislava, an exciting city on the banks of the river Danube, is an exciting and historic city to explore for its sights and sounds. 

A visit to Bratislava will be full of romance, fun, and adventure! Plan a visit and be amazed by the beauty and history of this fantastic city.

Porto, Portugal

Porto is a great coastal town in northwest Portugal, well-known for its impressive port wine production and stately bridge.
