Going on a holiday with our friends or family is an enjoyable activity that we all look forward to. But most of us are not able to get away on a holiday as we are not able to spare enough time to visit a popular international holiday destination. 

What then is the alternative? Well, we could always go on short breaks to tourist destinations within the continent. A short break does not necessarily mean that you would be compromising on the quality of your vacation as there are many world class holiday destinations that can be selected for a short holiday. 

Getting away with your holiday group on short breaks to destinations like Calais, Bruges or Paris is one of the best holiday options as these destinations compare favorably with many of the exotic tourist destinations across the world. This means that you are not sacrificing the quality of experiences that you could enjoy as a tourist while on a short break to these destinations. Does this make a short break much more exciting than a regular holiday? 

The answer in one word is a resounding yes!While on a short break to Bruges, you could go on a quick excursion to many of the medieval buildings and churches that abound the region. You can find many things to do in Paris while on a short break.
