With the redevelopment of cities changing their faces forever, and new tourist attractions opening all the time, as well as the sheer convenience of flying rather than taking trains making city breaks and longer trips within the UK more popular than they have been in a long time, more people are choosing to spend their weekends away at home than ever before.
Flights from one city to another within the United Kingdom typically take around an hour or so, and since more than 80% of population live within an hour of an airport, flying has become the method of choice for people wanting to get around the country, and with such low costs on flights available around the country, its hot hard to see why.
Whether you want to swap the Bullring of Birmingham for the Castle of Edinburgh, or the Streets of Manchester with the bright lights of London, there is bound to be a city break within the UK to suit you, and as city councils invest ever increasing amounts of money encouraging tourism and brilliant new attractions such as the redeveloped Covent Gardens and the incredible British Airways Millennium Eye in London, as well as the Urbis Museum of City Life and the Lowry Centre in Manchester opening their doors, the big cities of England and Scotland are rivalling more established short break destinations such as Barcelona in terms of visitor numbers.
