Where to stay for the perfect autumn city break in Europe Who can resist the charms of a park festooned with golden leaves, a landmark without the crowds, or a café terrace with a cool breeze? That is what the savvy traveller can expect on a city break in autumn. Across the cities of Europe, the summer visitors are long gone, temperatures are pleasant, and cultural events are in full swing. You can sate your appetite for art, attend a concert, or simply shop till you drop. At this time of year, a meal outdoors feels like a treat, and if the weather gets chilly, you can always duck inside a warm pub or coffee shop. Seize the moment and book a city break in the weeks ahead. View top city breaks
