New research has revealed the top destinations for quick, culture-packed getaways from the UK.
The study comes as Europe gears up for festive events such as Halloween, Bonfire Night, and the start of Christmas markets, perfect for travellers looking to embrace 24-hour city breaks.
The travel and luggage experts at Bounce looked at flight costs from major UK departure points as well as the number of restaurants & things to do, and the average hotel cost in each city, to reveal the best 24-hour city break destinations for 2024.
Dublin is officially the best destination for a 24-hour city break for those travelling from the UK.
The Republic of Ireland’s capital had the cheapest flight costs when flying from either London (£102) or Manchester (£62), and from the latter, it also had the shortest flight duration of just one hour.
Amsterdam takes second place with a score of 6.75 out of 10.
The Dutch capital has the shortest flight duration from London (one hour and eight minutes) and the third shortest from Manchester (one hour and 20 minutes). Additionally, it only takes nine minutes to travel from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol to the city centre when using public transport.
In third place, we have Brussels, the Belgian capital, with a score of 6.73 out of 10.
The city had the joint-fourth shortest flight time from London (one hour and 10 minutes) and sixth shortest from Manchester (one hour and 28 minutes). Additionally, flights from Manchester to Brussels are the second most affordable, costing just £62 for a next-day return flight.
