City Break Destinations

There are many different ways to travel. We’re not referring to travelling by car, train, bus or plane. We’re referring to choosing different types of destinations for your holiday. You can choose affordable cities, action-packed cities, historic cities and so much more. In this case, we’re going to focus on beautiful cities. While these destinations might offer great nightlife and outdoor adventure activities, they offer natural and manmade beauty more than anything else.

The first city on our beauty list is Melbourne, Australia. The first thing you should know about Melbourne is that it’s regularly considered the best place to live in the entire world. It always scores extremely high for quality of living. The weather is as close to perfect as you can get, which is a big reason for this. As far as natural beauty goes, it’s often referred to as the Garden City, which should give you an excellent idea of what to expect. The culture here is also interesting. There is a strong arts and literature community and the dining is exceptional. The latter has a lot to do with many different nationalities living in the city, including Chinese, Greek and Italian. It’s easy to find a top-tier fine dining restaurant in Melbourne. Some people travel here just for the food. Sports are also big here. Melbourne hosts major tennis and racing events and has a passionate fan base for professional Australian Rules football and cricket teams.

When it comes to beauty, the first city that comes to most people’s minds if Paris, France. This is the ideal place to sight-see, sit at a sidewalk café or perhaps even propose to the one you love. The romantic vibe is strong here and you will see a lot of love birds holding hands, which adds to the warm vibe. If you’re not looking for a romantic setting, you can still enjoy the art, fashion and architecture. When it comes to fashion, Paris is the centre of the universe. The fine dining is also top of the line. The one thing that many travellers don’t expect to find is large crowds. Paris is actually one of the most densely populated cities in the world. As long as you mentally prepare for this prior to visiting, it shouldn’t bother you. Also, if you’re a writer, you should know that many writers have found inspiration in Paris, including Ernest Hemingway.

If you’re looking for beauty and you don’t want to pay too much for it, head straight to Seoul, South Korea. There are many budget hotels to choose from. If you prefer luxury, don’t worry, there are many luxury hotels as well. The reason Seoul makes the beauty list is because of its temples and palaces. This might sound simplistic, but there are so many temples and palaces to visit that it could take you weeks to see them all. Not only that, but most of them are very different from one another. Seoul’s other standout features include festivals, western bars, restaurants on almost every corner, Hongdae nightclubs and Itaewon high-end shopping. However, with all this great shopping on offer, you will want to compare credit card offers before you visit!
