Hi

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

regards

Dave

I agree with that - I'm doing a 4 nighter in Stockholm for a sporting event end of September, and my SAS flight and the hotel near the central station totals About £380. I know that I have no tour manager or transfers, but it's half of the prices for some city breaks (and it's a weekend), but then I am a confident solo traveller

Well, I suppose that they managed to give you some sort of vegetarian meal in Poland.

Hope to meet you on one of these trips

Kind regards

As i said earlier i do my own City breaks because of length and cost, my Berlin trip is cocting just over £300 (+ avios points) and thats 4 star hotel with breakfast plus flights from my local airport (Leeds/Bradford).

One other person read about it on my travel blog and had some avios points and is now joining me but flying from Scotland (we'll meet at heathrow), a couple of others have also shown interest in joining us.

Saying that we are experienced travellers so don't have the same requirement for a tour manager, and realise sorting out stuff like transfers is part of the reason we can do it cheaper.

JY do provide good holidays (i've 2 booked, Tuscany & Cuba) and I think many are very good value, its just the shorter ones that dont do it for me, especially when adding the cost of getting to London airports.

I'm currently costing up a cheap option of a week in New York, not been for 10 years and always said i'd go back with enough time to explore properly.

I would also describe myself, as Nigel does, as a confident solo traveller (especially in Europe and the US).

I can always get by, but I do remember it involved many different ways a cooking with beetroot!!!...

You never know we might bump into each other one day,

I have to kennel two dogs which makes short holidays and weekends away really, really bad value!

Apart from Athens and Tallinn, I've not heard of any of the cities you mentioned. One place which I've read articles about recently is Copenhagen - apparently that is very pretty and compact. I've noticed JY currently do not offer many trips to Germany - what about adding other cities such as Frankfurt, Munich or Dresden to the list?

Like others on this thread have mentioned, I too find that a JY City Break is more expensive (and not as good value in terms of included meals and excursions) as other holidays, particularly the Tours. I have booked the Berlin break mainly because I have never travelled abroad alone before, but with some experience I would probably book short breaks independently in future.

I quite fancy Mick's suggestion of the 3 Baltic cities. I also fancy a weekend in Dubrovnik.

Here's hoping...

Regards

Sylvia

Hi Alicia,

I would be interested in Tallinn but none of the others. Would also like to do Riga or French and Getman cities other than Paris and Berlin. Hope this helps!

Hi Alicia,

What about some city breaks to North America? I'd had some lovely visits to Canada with you before (Toronto & Niagara) and across Canada (ending up in Vancouver)with TS. How about Vancouver with Settle or Toronto with Ottowa and Thunder Bay/Lake Superior?
