Breaks 'which combine beach and city popular'

Taking a holiday in the Slovakian city of Bratislava could be the ideal getaway for Britons.

Britons who jet off currently want to "experience as much as possible", according to Sharron Livingston, editor at www.thetravelmagazine.net.

She said that destinations which offer a variety of things for holidaymakers to do are becoming increasingly popular, as individuals look to relax, as well as see new things, while they are away.

People who wish to experience Bratislava could relax on a cruise down the Danube, sunbathe on Magio City Beach or browse the market places on offer in the city.

"City breaks are an ideal cultural mini-break and sunning in the eurozone offers sand and sea, but without the hefty long-haul flight," Ms Livingston added.

Slovakia joined the eurozone earlier this year, when it became the 16th member state.

The Office for National Statistics recently revealed that visitor numbers from Britain to Slovakia have increased between 2008 and 2009.
