A weekend, a suitcase, a dream destination… What if you escaped for 48 hours to discover a new city, savor local specialties, and feast your eyes? Whether you prefer historic streets, trendy rooftops, or strolls by the water, we’ve prepared a dynamic and ultra-practical guide for an effective, fun, and budget-friendly city trip. Ready to buckle up?
🧠 Express planning, maximum pleasure
The magic of a city trip is escaping without breaking the bank or wasting time. But to enjoy it to the fullest, you need a solid foundation:
- Choose your flight wisely: with airlines like Vueling, EasyJet, or Transavia, you can find round trips at minimal prices. Be sure to check arrival and departure times to maximize your time on the spot!
- Book in advance (but not too much): between 30 and 60 days before departure is the sweet spot for the best deals.
- Travel light: a carry-on bag and you’re good to go. Plus, you save time upon arrival.
