Now that we are almost halfway through the year, people can start looking forward to some sunshine. The days are officially getting brighter, which means they are getting longer. Soon, we can expect it to still be daylight by the time we get home from work. That is something we can all look forward to, and that is not paying extortionate amounts of utility bills.
Here, we will take you through ten of the most perfect city breaks to escape the doom and gloom of the rainy weather in April.
Prague
First on this list is Prague, which is the capital of the Czech Republic. Prague is the perfect getaway because flights and accommodation are usually cheap. With fantastic nightlife, unique architecture, a thriving art scene, and a city full of history, Prague should be the place to visit for your city break.
Once there, you don’t need to worry about spending a lot of money. For a capital city, it is very cheap compared to other Western European capitals. The only issue with Prague is that it is very cold during February and March. Nevertheless, if you prepare for the winter weather, you can certainly enjoy it.
Lisbon
Up next is the capital of Portugal and that is Lisbon. Lisbon is located on the Tagus River, which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. This destination is great during summer and winter; however, if you want to enjoy this city, we advise you to book it for early summer. If you can’t wait that long and want to get your summer started early, then head over sooner.
There are so many things to see in Lisbon, such as the Sao Jorge Castle and the Church of Sao Roque, which is a deceivingly plain church until you step inside. Then you have Alfama, which is the oldest district in Lisbon, with numerous hilltop restaurants looking down on this wonderful city, making it the perfect backdrop for a lovely couple’s picture.
Barcelona
Barcelona is another great city to visit and this is one of the best cities to visit in Europe. If you are interested in Gothic architecture, then Barcelona is the place to be for this city break.
There are many things to see and do in Barcelona, which is why it is a great winter break. During the summer, the temperature could be too high for touring around the Catalan capital. You’ll find yourself trying to find a shop to get yourself a nice cold drink as you stroll around this marvelous city.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is another perfect getaway in Europe for February, March, and April. Whether you are exploring the Dutch capital for two days, three days, four days, or five days, they are all great for spending time in Amsterdam. It all just depends on how busy you want your holiday to be.
There are plenty of things to see and do. First, you have Jordaan, which is a wonderful neighborhood. It was once a very working-class part of Amsterdam; however, with tourism, it has become a thriving part of Amsterdam. One thing you will find is that Amsterdam is a city that loves cycling. If you want to feel like one of the citizens of Amsterdam, hop on a bicycle and use it to get from A to B.
Salzburg
The next spot is Salzburg and this is where Mozart began. It is one of the most historical and scenic cities on this list. Surrounded by the Alps, this is a city that everyone will love, no matter what type of person you are.
Salzburg was home to the set of The Sound of Music, which is one of the main attractions of the city. However, there is much more than a tour of the set for a musical. You have many museums and Museumplein, as well as canal cruises. Then, if you wish to feel like one of the locals, head towards the historical brewery, where you can enjoy some of the regional beer.
London
London is another expensive city you can visit; however, it is one of the best places to visit. You can visit the London Eye to have panoramic views of the capital or enjoy a romantic cruise down the River Thames. There are so many places to visit and do in London; however, you won’t be able to see it all in one weekend.
London is the place where you can enjoy learning about the history of England during the day and then try delicious food at fine-dining restaurants. Then finish your night by trying cocktails that have flavors from all over the world.
Summary
As you can see, there are plenty of romantic getaways in the world that are perfect year-round. All of these mentioned vary in price but also have one thing in common: an intimate break with your partner.
It all depends on the type of city break you want but you can guarantee you will have fun. Whether you are leaving your car at a city centre car parking lot to explore Mayfair and Belgravia in London or catching a flight to Italy to enjoy the historical wonders of Florence. These cities have something for everyone.
