Crushing the Credit Crunch – Holiday at Home
The credit crunch has steadily caused more and more people to feel forced to clamp down on their spending and attempt to save what money they can. With prices clambering whilst wages stay the same, millions of British people are struggling to live the lives they’re used to – which probably means that plenty have already decided a holiday away this year is off the cards.
This needn’t be the case. Although many can’t afford a big trip away this year, there are plenty of other options that will see you getting a well-deserved break without having to worry you’re breaking the bank. For example, this year will see many Britons ditching the continental flights and holidaying at home in the UK instead.
These holidays may not be beachside retreats, but they’re still a lot of fun and a great way to strengthen your connection to the UK. It is your home, after all – and can you say you know every city that well?
UK city breaks can be cheap and just as enjoyable as a trip further afield. With a host of different cities to choose from, each adorned with its very own, very distinctive personality, Britain has far more to offer than you might expect. Whether you prefer the bustling drive of English capital London or the musical delights of Manchester, you’ll be sure to find a UK city perfect for your break away.
It’s important to take holidays, even if only for a few days. And a trip to another UK city can be surprisingly different to what you’re used to. If you live somewhere like London, why not take a trip up to Glasgow and see an altogether different style of life? Similarly, Birmingham-dwellers could try out Edinburgh and Aberdeen residents might visit York to see just how widely the UK varies from city to city.
Best of all, you’ll know by currency when you’re getting a great deal on hotels, food and drink – as well as visiting a wide range of attractions that’ll show you just how diverse and fascinating British cities can be. So whatever city you have your eye on for your break away from the recession the year, UK cheap city breaks are becoming more and more popular by the day – so plenty of opportunities to discover more of the famous British isles.
