Hope you all had a great Easter ?

Myself and the team are looking forward to 2016 and this week we are looking at potential new city breaks , id love to hear your comments on featuring tours to lesser known cities?

A couple of ideas have come to mind; Gdansk, Thessaloniki, Zagreb, Athens , Bratislava , Innsbruck and Tallinn. to name a few .

Id love to hear your thoughts

Thank you

Alicia

Sorry but the others sound more like stag weekend destinations to me !!

Zagreb and Bratislava jump out for me. Zagreb is beautiful but an extensive tour is not included in any of the current Croatia tours!

Keep up the good work team!

I would quite like to see Gdansk or anywhere else in Poland like Zakopane and the Tatra mountains included in the brochures and Tallin!

What about Munich? I know it was included in last year's festive brochure. Munich does have much to offer. One of my favourite cities.

Kind regards

Di

Sorry it's a NOT interested from me.

I do like the idea of City breaks but I would rather put my money into a longer tour.

The two city breaks I have done with Hubby have been Barcelona and Prague enjoyed both of them.

Hi Alicia,

At the moment I'm trying to cram in a couple of long haul or extended Euro trips a year so am unlikely to be doing many city breaks, but who knows what the future may bring! I am however thinking of Dubai (or the TS Jewels of Arabia tour) if not this year, then for a year or two down the road. Out of your suggested list, I would say Thessaloniki and Tallinn would interest me - hopefully I'll be visiting Zagreb in Sept as part of the TS Balkan peninsula tour and I have my eye on the TS Grand Baltic Explorer tour as well. I don't know anything much about Gdansk apart from the Solidarity protests there in the 80s, Athens doesn't have a great reputation (pollution and oppressive heat), Bratislava is meant to be pretty and I love Innsbruck, although it's been 20 years since I was there! I hope you get better feedback than mine on this one!

All the best,

Bob

I went on a JY tour to Poland a few!!! Years ago, we stayed in Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains,it was beautiful.

Cindy

I wish Poland was included too!

As for Zagreb well I've flown into it twice now 🙂 and never had a chance to see the city. So I agree with Mark that would be interesting.

Bratislava, Innsbruck and Tallinn sound wonderful and I have to agree Munich would be on my list. I would have to add Heidelberg and Rudesheim in Germany, Alsace and its wine region in France plus Arnhem in Holland.

I tend to use my Avios points to do City breaks an in recent years I've done Budapest, Lisbon & Barcelona, have also just booked Berlin for August this year. I tend to go for 5 night breaks (Thurs to Tues) doing this way.

I appreciate others prefer to go with a group, like i do with longer holidays but as an experieced traveller i actually enjoy planning my own city break and working out the local transport systems.

Need to save my pennies for the other holidays I do with JY, got a couple of biggies this year.

Talking Cities one trip that would interest me would be to do all 3 Baltic capitals on one trip (2/3 nights in each). Riga, Tallin & Villinus are places I'd like to visit.

Can I ask that you schedule City breaks at weekends if possible?

Thanks!

Can I put forward Milan again too!?! 😛

myself would love to go to Vienna, Munich and Stockholm so that I could visit the abba museum, however I too would not put £700 - £800 into a 3 or 4 night city break, rather do the long haul with JY/Travelsphere and anything shorter put together myself

I also did a tour of Poland years ago with my husband.

Enjoyed the tour hence choice of Gdansk,but Krakow would be good too.-could include the Tatras,Zakopane, salt mines which are absolutely amazing and even Auschwitz!

Perhaps I should see more of Zagreb, too, after flying there last year.

You can certainly see more of Bavaria if you have a few days in Munich-the Alps and go to the top of the Zugspitze even. Then there are the castles, the most famous being

Neuschwanstein. The Disney castle was modelled on this.

Hope to meet up again on another trip

Best wishes

Di

Stockholm and Vienna would probably be on my list of city breaks

The JY tour to Poland was a few years ago now, I went on it for the main reason to visit the concentration camps as it was something I felt I needed to see, haunting and heartbreaking. Kraków and the salt mines were on the itinery for this tour and then we ended up in Zakopane and the beautiful mountains, great views and tour, as a vegetarian I got served some weird meals!
