You don't have to travel far for a weekend away at one of the best city break destinations.
The UK has so much to offer, in particular in each of the four countries' capital cities. Our writers have visited the newest hotspots in Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast and London to review the best places to stay, what to eat, and the top tourist attractions to visit, to help you to plan your next UK minibreak. Edinburgh Where to stay Two miles from the city centre at the Port of Leith you’ll be welcomed aboard Fingal – a luxury floating hotel with 22 boutique cabins, permanently docked on the waterfront.
It’s the place to stay if you’re looking to make memories. Originally commissioned by the Northern Lighthouse Board, each room is named after a lighthouse. Our spacious cabin had a king-size bed and a bathroom, a surprising amount of storage space and even a private entrance that led out to the ship’s deck.
It’s beyond luxe, with every detail thought of – even the taps are in the shape of a ship’s helm. Perfect weekend ahoy! What to eat Nothing says fine dining quite like The Lighthouse Restaurant & Bar aboard Fingal.
The 2 AA Rosettes restaurant has a tranquil, luxurious dining space with a rippled ceiling that looks just like the calming waves outside. With plenty of local favourites to choose from, we tried the renowned smoked salmon followed by an incredibly tender beef cheek, and finished with an indulgent cheeseboard that featured Scotland’s finest.
