TUI City Breaks 2026/2027

When it comes to European city breaks with TUI, you're genuinely spoilt for choice. These are destinations that combine manageable flight times with bucket-list sights and incredible food scenes. If you want to go a little further, TUI also offers long-haul city breaks that feel like a proper adventure without committing to a two-week holiday.

Paris

Paris remains a firm favourite. It's romantic, stylish and surprisingly easy to explore in a few days. You can climb the Eiffel Tower in the morning, cruise the Seine in the afternoon and enjoy dinner in Saint-Germain by evening. TUI hotels here are often centrally located or near Metro links, which makes a big difference on a short stay.

Barcelona

Barcelona is perfect if you want culture and beach in one break. Gaudí architecture, buzzing tapas bars and the relaxed vibe of Barceloneta make it ideal for a three-night escape. It’s also a great option for friends travelling together.

Amsterdam

Compact and effortlessly cool, Amsterdam suits two- or three-night trips beautifully. Canal cruises, world-class museums and laid-back cafés make it easy to fill your days without rushing.

Rome

Rome is like walking through an open-air museum. The Colosseum, Vatican City and Trevi Fountain are all within reach if you plan your days well. A slightly longer break works best here because there is so much to see.

Marrakech

Marrakech feels exotic yet accessible. Think colourful souks, riad hotels and rooftop dining under the stars. It's ideal for a long weekend with something a little different.

Dubai

Dubai works brilliantly as a winter city break. It offers skyscrapers, luxury shopping, desert safaris and even beach time. The flight time is manageable, and a four-night stay gives you the perfect mix of relaxation and exploration, although nowadays, a Dubai city break has turned into a Dubai holiday with much longer stays.

New York

New York is the ultimate city break for many travellers. You can tick off Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty and Broadway shows all in a few days. TUI packages often include flights with brands like Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines to major New York airports like Newark and JFK, and hotels in Manhattan or well-connected neighbourhoods.

Sometimes the best trips are the spontaneous ones. Last-minute TUI city breaks can be perfect if you suddenly have a free weekend.

Because European flight times are short, you can book and travel within weeks. Digital boarding passes and online check-in make the process smooth. And because TUI partners with easyJet and Ryanair, you've got access to thousands of flight options.

Last-minute deals often appear for popular destinations where hotels still have availability. If you're flexible about where you go, you can pick up excellent value.

Your return flight and hotel will be included within your TUI city break package. Anything else depends on where you go and who you fly with or where you stay, including whether it's room only, bed & breakfast or something more.

If it's using easyJet or Ryanair flights, it will be hand luggage only. You can add on more if you need it, but it's hand luggage as standard.

For somewhere further afield, like a city break in Dubai, you might also get free airport transfers included, free upgrades and even free water park access.

With many destinations, you can usually add on excursions with TUI Experiences. Usually available in beach destinations, TUI Experiences also has a few city break excursions too, like a Vatican Museums or Colosseum tour in Rome, an Auschwitz tour from Krakow, or a 4x4 Atlas Mountains trip from Marrakech.
