Take your time exploring the galleries and break up your artistic musings with frequent breaks to sample some traditional Tuscan-Italian espresso and gelato. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to do some great shopping either. Florence is famous for its leather goods - bags, purses, jackets - and if you are a skilled haggler you could grab yourself a bargain.
Paris city breaks are fantastically simple to organise from the UK. Thanks to the Eurostar and the many budget flights heading towards the French capital, the journey to Paris is hassle free and cost effective. Some people are drawn for the shopping, others for the art, others for romance and many for the fantastic wining and dining opportunities. Whatever your motivations may be, organise it all through experienced holiday making companies such as Cresta, & their specialised
Paris city breaks, and will allow you to book flights, accommodation and any number of extras in one fell swoop.
Another capital, this time back in Italy: Rome is truly a destination that has it all.
It goes without saying that Rome’s cultural and historical sites are some of the most phenomenal in the world. Many people have remarked that Rome is a museum the size of a city, but there is more than this to explore as well. The modern art galleries in Rome are also fantastic and well worth a look. The restaurants are fabulous and the nightlife is the best in Italy. A handy tourist tip: visit some of the main sights after dark - the Trevi Fountain, for example, will be deserted but every bit as beautiful
