City Break Ideas

This is where we store all our inspiring ideas. Each episode will offer an enticing selection of ideas of interest to city break fans. There will be listener suggestions on destinations they have enjoyed visiting or trips they still long to go on. We’ll be listing newsy items, perhaps on the recent re-opening of a museum or a newly-begun visitor service. Sometimes, there’ll be a special interest feature, exploring which cities have the best cycle path networks, most amazing libraries or tastiest patisserie. In short, we’ll be including whatever we think will interest and inspire everyone who enjoys city breaks!
