Get more from your city break
Whether you’re exploring a brand-new city or visiting an old favourite, it’s always worth planning a few activities while you’re there to add some excitement to your trip. If you’re struggling to think of what to do, here’s some inspiration for your next excursion.
Museums
If you’re a fan of history and culture, then exploring the local museums is a fantastic way to learn more about the place you’re visiting and gain an appreciation for their heritage. They’re also often air conditioned, so they can provide a welcome respite from the heat!
River boat trips
If the city you’re visiting happens to have a river running through it, you can be fairly confident that they also offer a river boat trip. Whether it’s a tour of the local sights or just a picturesque journey on the water, seeing the city from the river is a great way to add some variety to your holiday.
Dining out
One of the best things about travelling is sampling the variety of cuisine on offer. But it’s a good idea to do some research about the restaurants in the area first so that you don’t get drawn in by the tourist traps!
Guided tours
Booking a local tour guide is a fantastic idea if you want to really learn more about the city you’re visiting, and you really can’t get the same level of insight just from wandering around. Many places offer group or solo tours so you can tailor your experience to meet your needs.
We hope that this guide has helped you to plan your summer city travels. Whether you’re looking for clothing, accessories, or just inspiration for your next adventure, get more from your summer with Rohan.
