Best City Break Weekends: 10 Trips for Three or Four Nights
US city break weekends
New York City is the single most-visited US city break at $1,400 to $3,000 per person for four nights. Nashville is the music-and-food pick at $800 to $1,800. Charleston is the slower-paced Southern pick at $1,100 to $2,500. Las Vegas is the maximum-energy pick at $700 to $2,500 per person for four nights.
European city break weekends
Lisbon, Prague, Barcelona, and Rome all work for four-night European weekends. Lisbon: $1,400 to $3,000 per person; Prague: $1,200 to $2,800; Barcelona: $1,500 to $3,200; Rome: $1,500 to $3,500. All four pack enough into a four-day window to justify the transatlantic flight.
Mexico City and the Caribbean short-haul
