Hi lovelies,

When you get the opportunity to plan a city break, there are so many different options and locations to choose from. Each different city offers its own way of life, as many cultures tend to come together to create a diverse and inspiring location that’s perfect for a short vacation. Ensuring that you have the best possible experience on your trip couldn’t be simpler, as there are just a few key steps that you must take in order to achieve holiday heaven. So, if you’re in the early stages of planning a city break and want to know more about how to truly make the most of your time, then read on for some of the best top tips around to ensure you create memories that can last forever. 

Set Your Budget First
Setting your budget before you make any decisions is the most important step to take. Allowing yourself to begin searching with no cap on money will either leave you with a huge bill, or give you a sense of having to ‘settle’ for something that’s closer to your price range. Take everything into consideration, including spending money, and make a plan of how much you can afford to shell out on each day of your trip. 

A Comfortable Stay
The hotel that you choose to stay in for the duration of your trip has a massive impact on its overall success. There are so many on offer in each city that choosing the option which boasts both the highest standards and best value for money seems almost impossible. Begin your search by identifying the amenities that you value most: perhaps a king sized room, a pool or gym, complimentary wifi and other technology such as TV’s and air conditioning. An example like this hotel in Butte, MT offers each of these things and more, but just remember to book up as far in advance as you can in order to secure the best room on your chosen date. 

Research Activities Beforehand 
There's nothing worse than arriving in the hustle and bustle of a new city only to be swept up by the flowing currents of people with no sense of direction or aim for your adventure. Researching the different activities that are available to you before you reach your destination will help to structure your days, and cut out the usual tourist blunder of wandering the streets for hours on end. Its even beneficial to find some restaurants and bars that offer options you might like, as this will save you so much time during your trip which you can utilise more productively instead. 

Planning a city break has never been so simple with these top tips to aid you in your adventure. Always begin by setting your budget before anything else, and source a top quality hotel to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Do some research before you arrive to save yourself heaps of time, and don’t forget to pack your camera to snap some pictures of your perfect trip!
