Looking to get away? We look at some options.

Thomson has some great deals on city breaks at the moment. For £468 two people can stay for four nights at the Avenue Hotel in Amsterdam. This is departing London on Thursday 15th October and returning on Monday 19th October. The cost includes a double room at the three star hotel which is ideally placed to explore Amsterdam.

If you have no ties and can go at a moment’s notice, why not take a look at lastminute.com and see what they have to offer. Again leaving on 15th October they are currently offering a three night stay in Barcelona for just £513.73 for the weekend, including flights, staying at a top five star apartment complex. Based in the Metropolitan area of the city, the apartment is fully equipped with kitchenette, living room and spacious bedroom. Close to the city centre and the airport this is an ideal location.

There are loads of ideas for short getaways. Take a look at any of the tour operator websites to see what they have on offer.
