Short trips, properly planned

City Breaks

Expertly planned city breaks from the UK, from classic European weekends to standout further-afield cities within roughly an eight-hour flight.

More than a quick getaway

City breaks are better when the details are right.

A good city break is not just a flight and a hotel. The right airport, arrival time, hotel location, transfer plan and extra night can make the difference between a rushed trip and one that feels easy from the start.


At One Extra Night Travel, we help you choose the right city, the right route and the right place to stay. Whether you want culture, food, theatre, museums, shopping, winter sun or a special occasion, we can shape the trip around what you actually want to do when you get there.

Advice-led city break planning

We help you avoid the common city break mistakes: awkward flight times, poor hotel locations, wasted arrival days and trips that look good online but do not work well in practice.

Better hotel locations

We look at where you will actually want to spend your time, not just which hotel has the lowest nightly rate.

Sensible flights

We help match flights to the length of trip, so your first and last day are as useful as possible.

Trips with purpose

Food, theatre, museums, shopping, history, winter sun or romance — we shape the city break around the reason you are going.

Headline choice

New York: the standout further-afield city break

New York is familiar, exciting and endlessly rewarding — ideal for sightseeing, Broadway, museums, restaurants, shopping and special occasions.

Make New York work beautifully

New York is a city where first-hand knowledge genuinely helps. Guy lived and worked in Manhattan, bringing the kind of insider understanding that only comes from knowing a city beyond the guidebook.

We can help you choose the right neighbourhood, airport, hotel style and length of stay, whether you want classic sightseeing, Broadway, museums, food, shopping or a more relaxed New York trip with room to breathe.
