More demand for romantic city breaks for Valentine’s Day reports Holidays-direct.co.uk

With Valentine’s Day around the corner, more people than ever are planning to take a romantic city break, according to online travel agency Holidays-direct.co.uk. And it’s not just the traditional romantic cities that are attracting people for a Valentine city break.

The old time favourite romantic city breaks in Paris, Rome and Venice are still the most popular choice for Valentine city breaks, but new trendy destinations are emerging. City breaks in Reykjavik, Monaco and Barcelona have become much more popular in recent years, without taking travellers away from the beloved city breaks in Paris, Rome and Venice.

This shows that Valentine city breaks have become much more popular among couples. Part of the reason is that new flight routes have provided people with new cheap romantic city break opportunities. Flights to Iceland have become more affordable recently, which is one of the reasons city breaks in Reykjavik have become a popular choice for Valentine’s Day holiday.

Online travel agency Holidays-direct.co.uk has a website specialising in city breaks; on www.citybreaks-direct.co.uk people can search for their ideal romantic weekend break for Valentine’s Day.

Jon Pearce from Holidays-direct.co.uk says: “City breaks are growing in popularity every year, and especially around Valentine’s Day people want to take a romantic city break together. We can offer many cheap romantic city breaks for our customers, and there are so many great destinations available. Paris, Rome and Venice of course are great choices, but we can recommend people to try somewhere different.

“For example, where better to spend a romantic weekend break than in a city called “beloved"? The name of Slovenia’s capital Ljubljana means just that. The city is a smaller Prague, with less tourists buzzing around and the incredible history has left the city with a very romantic feel and a chance for a great Valentine city break."
