Fast-track to a new city
Last minute city breaks can be great as you only need to use a few days of leave at work! So pick your destination, pack your bags, and explore a new city for a long weekend!
New York
Catch New York in full summer swing, or arrive as the city starts to turn golden. Go from rooftop drinks and Central Park picnics to Broadway nights and neighbourhood strolls with a little more breathing room.
Las Vegas
There’s still time for showstopper pool days and warm desert nights. Or wait for the heat to soften, when headline shows, big-name restaurants and neon-lit Strip strolls really come into their own. Vegas isn’t winding down.
Miami
Miami keeps summer switched on. Make a last-minute dash for South Beach, Art Deco colour and poolside afternoons, or escape once the holiday rush has eased for laid-back dining, Little Havana flavours and nights that turn up the volume.
Los Angeles
LA knows how to make summer last. Split your time between beaches, studio tours and sunset drives, then stay for rooftop dinners and golden-hour neighbourhood exploring. Sunglasses remain very much part of the dress code.
Toronto
Catch Toronto at its outdoorsy best, with waterfront walks, island ferries and rooftop views. Travel a little later and the city takes on a new glow, with leafy neighbourhoods, brilliant food spots and plenty worth exploring downtown.
Boston
Squeeze in harbour days, ballpark nights and walks along the Freedom Trail, or arrive as the brownstone streets begin to feel more autumnal. It’s a city break that swaps effortlessly from sunlit waterfronts to cosy neighbourhood charm.
