The Voyage Privé travel expert’s opinion on Europe

Weekend breaks in Europe are a perfect excuse to blow off some steam, without having to spend hours on the plane or take too much time off work. With cities of unique beauty just on our doorstep, we in the UK are in a unique position to explore some of the treasures of the Old World. With up to 70% off hotels in many prime locations, now is the perfect time to become a member and benefit from our unique offers.

London

The UK's capital wonderful mixture of different cultures and ethnicities, one which is more than just the classic sites of Buckingham Palace, the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament – though they are certainly worth a visit. Choose your hotel based on where you would like to be placed and explore your local area, is a good tip: there is merit to every locale within the city. Areas in the city's East End such as Shoreditch and Hoxton have undergone rapid transformation over the last decade, and are now a haven for artists and young creatives, whilst still retaining a gritty edge, whereas more upmarket restaurants, shops and attractions thrive in areas such as Kensington and Chelsea. For theatre, the West End remains dominant, and an evening in Soho is hard to beat.

Berlin

Largely destroyed and rebuilt in the 20th century, Berlin is a city that embodies the history of the Second World War and Cold War eras. This is a city which is testament to Germany's resilience as a country: one in which its inhabitants rebuilt it  into something completely unique. Visit the Berlin Wall, Reichstag and Jewish Museum for you culture, or take in the bars and nightclubs of Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, all with the knowledge that you are able to stay in style, luxury and affordability. These two locales are host to some of the leading lights of modern art, though pop-up and temporary art exhibitions are all over the city: a testament to the fertile artistic culture that the city has fostered for decades.

Amsterdam

There is far more to Amsterdam than stag and hen parties. With charming canals and alleyways, bridges and cycle paths, as well as unique architecture, great food and an all-round friendly atmosphere, the so-called "Venice of The North" is a far more relaxed destination than most people give it credit for. The Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum offer wonderful cultural opportunities, and the Vondelpark is a wonderful place for a stroll on a summer's day. We have hotels in locations to suit any preference, all of which will provide the luxury and style that you need to get relaxed on your trip.

With all these exciting opportunities available just an hour or two's flight away, now is an absolutely perfect time to sign up. Discover more information about destinations here. Receive our fantastic offers of up to 70% off on weekend breaks in Europe!
