Whether you're looking for a quick weekend break or a long relaxing holiday in the sun, there are plenty of great deals available to make that dream holiday a reality.

Europe is home to some of the most cultural, exciting and interesting cities in the world and this makes it an ideal destination for any type of holiday. In our ever more hectic lives, it has become increasingly difficult to find enough free time to escape the chaos of home and work life - making short city breaks far more popular with holidaymakers.

A city break is one of the cheapest ways of travelling and allows you to visit famous landmarks at your convenience. Whether you plan your trip in advance, or want a last minute holiday, there are always plenty of cheap city breaksavailable throughout the year.

Finding a city break that suits you or a group, will provide you with a delightful trip, filled with fantastic memories. What is even better is it allows you to take
holidaysat a low cost whilst giving you the chance to visit unique and beautiful places.

City breaks also help you to make the most of your travelling opportunity. Not only will it be easy to meet new people, but the whole trip will be exciting as it enables you to completely immerse yourself in another culture by sampling the hustle and bustle of a new and diverse environment.

If, however, you are looking to get away for a longer period a city destination could still be on the cards. Taking a longer trip gives you more of a chance to explore your surroundings, allowing you to gain even more experiences. Of course, city breaks are not the only type of holiday available on a budget - those looking to experience some glorious sunshine may prefer a trip to the Algarve.

The Algarve region of southern Portugal is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the continent of Europe and is perfect for holidays. The region is particularly popular due to great weather and varied cultures and activities. There are some spectacular golf courses situated in the region as well as numerous other attractions, such as:

• Boat trips - small fishing boat trips allow you to admire the beautiful coastline and some even offer the opportunity to visit secluded beaches.
  
• Cycling - there are many fantastic cycling tours, which provide a great and active way to explore the diverse countryside and coastline.
  
• Scuba Diving - diving trips are available off the west coast, with shore dives, night dives and boat dives all available.
