TAKE A CITY BREAK?

Have you noticed that fewer and fewer people are deciding on one long vacation?

Nowadays, I feel, no weekend is too short for a trip.

The trend of short trips is dynamic: traditional trips in summer or winter are being joined by trips for extended weekends and holidays. The way we travel has changed. There are a lot of cheap flights and international train connections. More airports are coming into play. Don't have a car? Carsharing is also a solution. So where will you go?

WHAT IS A CITY BREAK?

City break, it's a short break from reality ♥, a few days away and an exciting opportunity to discover a new place, experience its culture and cuisine.

Pack a little luggage, buy tickets, get some company and go!

You can find out for yourself, why a city has been named "one of the most beautiful in the world" and if you would put it there too.

During city breaks, discover the city in your own way, because who said you have to see the Colosseum in Rome and Buckingham Palace in London?

Follow in the trails of your favorite TV series, escape-rooms, pubs or whatever strikes your fancy. Don't waste your time on the "Top 10 things you must see in Paris" - because you might be disappointed.

Make your own list, after all, you only have a few days, spend them as you like. Be spontaneous, meet people, eat breakfast three hours in a cafe, go sightseeing in the evening, or get up for the sunrise, don't over sleep at night.

HOW TO PACK FOR A CITY BREAK?

Whether you are traveling in the country or abroad, it is definitely most convenient to pack in a backpack. 

If you plan to fly by plane, check what kind of backpack will fit into the sizes of the airline's accepted hand luggage. Each airline has its own regulations on this, so it's a good idea to find out in advance so you don't have to pay extra for excess baggage before departure.

Travelling with just hand luggage, once you land, you don't have to wait for the crew to unpack all your luggage from the airplane, go right away to the city!

To me for flying works great Tooba long bag.

WHAT TO TAKE WITH YOU ON A CITY BREAK?

Pack properly for the time you are traveling for. Also check the climate and weather.

Remember that there are countries where uncovered shoulders and shorts are not accepted in the local culture. Respect your diversities.

While planning a city break it is always a good idea to have:

• Comfortable shoes - this is the key to a successful trip
• A waterproof jacket
• A warm sweatshirt
• washbag
• A towel that does not take up much space
• Your identity document, and cash (can be euros or US dollars) check before you leave, which works better on the destination
• travel wallet (it's best to have two wallets one with documents and " thicker cash" the other with credit card and change) don't take out the your first wallet in public places.

Also take a smaller bag or kidney, for documents and phone.

And get moving, now! :-)
