Belfast, UK

Hope over to Northern Ireland for a quick city break. Even just for one night can be a nice little escape, enjoying a new city with lots going on, from the fascinating Titanic Museum, to the endless shopping. Fly direct with easyJet and Aer Lingus.

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam is a classic weekend break destination, with direct flights from Leeds to Amsterdam with KLM. Take in some of the classic sights and explore the city by riverboat, or take to two weeks for a hosted tour to make sure you don't miss out.

Geneva, Switzerland

Geneva can be both a great summer and winter city break destination. While it's lovely to be enjoying the sunshine on the shores of Lake Geneva in July and August, heading over in winter can be just as fun, enjoying the snow and Christmas markets on offer.

Faro, Algarve, Portugal

You might think of the Algarve as all beaches and sun, but for a sunny city break, Faro can be a great option. It's got a little bit of everything. History, culture, food and beaches close by too.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is another one of those must-visit cities, and Jet2 offers flight and hotel packages with ATOL protection. Choose from a selection of hotels and either explore the attractions on your own, or join an organised tour or excursion with an knowledgable expert about the area.
