Summer is a brilliant time to get to know a new city. Think long evenings in pavement cafés, bustling food markets and streets that come alive well into the night. Whether you’re planning a quick getaway with friends, a romantic escape or a few days exploring somewhere new, Europe’s cities have plenty to keep you busy.
Fancy making a start to the season? Browse our June city break deals and get your summer plans sorted. Or, if you’re looking to travel a little later, our July city break deals are worth a look, too.
When it comes to choosing your destination, you’re spoilt for choice. In Rome, spend your days wandering ancient streets, admiring grand landmarks and stopping for a scoop of gelato. Over in Porto, colourful riverside buildings and traditional tiled façades set the scene for leisurely lunches and sunset strolls. Or head to Barcelona, where Gaudí’s eye-catching architecture, lively tapas bars and sandy city beaches make exploring a pleasure.
From ticking off famous sights to finding little local spots along the way, a summer city break is your chance to see somewhere familiar in a new light – or fall for a place you’ve never visited before.
You can now start planning your Summer 2027 city break, with flights all over Europe and beyond. Explore the romantic streets of Venice, soak up the sights in Rome or enjoy the beaches in Barcelona. Whether you're after culture, cuisine or something in-between, there's no better time to get a date in the diary!
Summer city break hotels
Yes, summer city breaks can work well for families when the destination offers attractions and activities suitable for different ages. Museums, parks, sightseeing tours, beaches and family-friendly restaurants can all provide things to do. When booking, consider the hotel's location and access to public transport so getting around is straightforward.
A two to four-night break can be enough to experience many European cities, particularly if you choose convenient flight times. Longer stays give you more opportunity to explore attractions at a relaxed pace. Compare different durations and flight schedules to find an option that works with your annual leave and overall holiday budget.
Some European destinations combine city attractions with easy access to beaches or coastal areas. Barcelona, for example, can offer sightseeing and city experiences alongside time by the sea. Choosing a destination with both urban and coastal attractions can give you more flexibility if you want a summer holiday that combines sightseeing and relaxation.
