At the start of December I flew to Kraków and stayed in the heart of the city for 2 nights. My family and I booked this trip to visit the European Christmas Market and it did not disappoint. Not only did we get to wander round the Christmas Market saying “aw” and touching all the incredible little gifts, we got to explore the Polish culture. Being our first time in Poland it was great to see a little snippet of what the rest of the country has to offer.

Aah, the city break. Is there anything better than having a weekend away somewhere, in Rome, or Paris, or Madrid, or wherever your heart takes you? Though a city break usually only covers a few days, this is usually enough time to unwind, see the sights, and absorb some of the local culture. However, if you only have a certain amount of time to get things done, you need to make sure that you’ve planned properly, and you’re ready to have a great relaxing break, with everything sorted. I’ve listed some things here, to help you prepare.
