Citiesdirect: Luxury city breaks offer a great alternative to lazy beach holidays

With the days getting shorter and darker and with Christmas on the horizon, you may have found yourself recently longing for a change of scenery and thinking about where you'll go on holiday in 2011.

This time of year, many people need something positive to look forward to and motivate them to get through the long, cold winter months. Planning a holiday is a great way to do this, and can inject some much-needed bright optimism into the dark winter days.

So where will you go? Often at this time of year, the one thing on people's mind is to pack a suitcase full of suncream and swimming costumes and jet off to the sunniest location possible.

While beach holidays are great for those looking for total relaxation, the wall-to-wall sun and lay days on the beach are just not exciting enough for more adventurous holidaymakers.

If you are one of them, or simply a sun holiday devotee looking for a change, why not consider luxury city breaks as an alternative? Whether you are looking for a long weekend or an action-packed week of sightseeing, the world is positively bursting with exciting cities offering a truly unique holiday experience.

Continental European cities such as Rome, Barcelona and Prague are crammed with culture and history and hold an enduring appeal for city breakers. Cities like Krakow, Budapest and Bratislava are enjoying a growing reputation and are the perfect destinations for adventurous urban explorers.

Many travel agents now specialise in organising city breaks, and offer a personalised service for every aspect of the trip. Flights, luxury hotel rooms and excursions can all be organised as part of the package, allowing you to arrive at your destination stress-free and enjoy the many wonders of your city holiday.

If you still yearn for a spot of beach action, many city break destinations lie within easy reach of the coast, allowing you to combine your urban getaway with the best parts of the traditional beach holiday.
