If you're looking for something to take your mind away from the glum January weather and post-Christmas blues, then a weekend city break abroad might be just what the doctor ordered. Fortunately for us here in Bristol, you can fly direct to a number of must-visit destinations from our airport.
Based on flights that run either from Friday to Sunday or Saturday to Monday - meaning you'll only need to take one day off work (if you're a Monday to Friday worker) - you can find yourself in the hustle and bustle of bucket list-worthy places. Among the list are Venice, Rome, Barcelona, Paris and Amsterdam, to name but a few.
What's more, you don't just have to limit yourself to cityscapes, as there are plenty of destinations that will give you the best of both the city and countryside/beaches. See the list below for more details of the best weekend city break locations served by Bristol Airport:
