Marrakech city breaks get Apprentice boost! |
City break operators are expecting a big surge in bookings for the mesmerising Morroccan destination of Marrakech after the city starred in the popular TV show 'The Apprentice' which features Sir Alan Sugar. Participants were tasked with bartering for products in the legendary Souks, the markets where visitors to this fascinating place can try their own hand at wheeling and dealing to get the best bargains in all manner of goods. With the advent of Easyjet flights to Marrakech the city is now a very affordable option for a city break with a truly exotic flavour and is expected to become a firm favourite with those seeking something a little extra compared with the more predicatble European short break destinations. For the latest hot offers on Marrakech City Breaks call Cities Direct on 01242 536900. |

Venice authorities ban pigeon feeding in St Marks Square |
Local authorities have cracked down on the feeding of pigeons in St Mark's Square in Venice, a tradition much loved of tourists (and presumably pigeons too!) for over a hundred years. The practice was made illegal from 1st May and the fifteen licensed pigeon feed vendors are now out of a job and claiming compensation. The city authorities say that the huge flocks of pigeons living around the World Heritage Site, which they call 'flying rats', cause untold damage to historic buildings with their tons of droppings and constant scratching for food. Animal rights groups have called the decision cruel and stepped in to illegally feed pigeons after seeing birds allegedly starving following introduction of the ban. The authorities are determined to rid the city of the pigeon pest - erosion from which is even blamed for increasing the winter floods which cover the square in water. |

Moscow on the map for city breaks! |
English football fans will soon be swarming to Moscow later this month for the final of the European Champions League and tourism in Moscow is already beginning to reap the benefit from being in the media spotlight. Moscow is often thought of as expensive and hard to get to but avoid the big events like the football, conferences and peak holiday dates and it is still possible to spend a few days in Moscow staying in a reasonable 2 or 3 star hotel without breaking the bank. The cooler months of winter are a great time to search out a city break bargain in Moscow too. Much attention has been focussed on how fans are to get their visas but if you travel with a reputable city break tour operator then a support letter will be provided and this together with a valid UK passport should ensure tourists get a visa for their visit. The spotlight currently falling on Moscow has also produced spin off benefits for the other great Russian city break destination, St Petersburg, and a two centre short break taking in both these great world cities is becoming more and more popular with the discerning traveller. For details about two centre stays in Moscow and St Petersburg or to book go to www.citiesdirect.co.uk or call 01242 536900 |

Look outside the 'Euro Zone' for best value |
With the inexorable slide of the pound against the Euro many people are looking to destinations outside the 'Euro Zone' for best value city breaks. Avoiding the Euro and its related currencies can mean a much cheaper short break and some great shopping bargains too! There are still traditional city break destinations on the near continent that fall into this category. Call 01242 536908 for all the best city break offers outside the 'Euro Zone' Switzerland is great value this year, shaking off its stuffy expensive image, glamorous Geneva, beautiful Lucerne and idyllic Interlaken are all benefitting from a surge in popularity. Norway is another growing destination for city breaks, with Oslo and Bergen very popular and well served by low cost flights, and of course cities in Poland and the Baltic States such as Krakow, Riga and Tallinn are still great value for the time being. The real winners, though, are reported to be cities such as Marrakech, Cairo and Istanbul as well as Moscow and St Petersburg. The latter two are not cheap but Cities Direct offers superb value - especially on its popular 2 centre break combining both these great world cities in Russia. |
