Anyone know of any good places for a European city break leaving from London on Dec 27 and returning on Dec 30 or 31st?

Thanks

    Is it for 2 adults?
    Whats your budget?
    Is the 27th the only day you can leave on or have you some flexability?

    Yes for two adults sharing a room/bed.

    It would need to be for at least two nights and coming back on or before Dec 31.

    So could be leaving on the 27, 28 or 29.

    Euro city, cheap as possible.

    Thank you.

    London.

    Any of the air ports (Standstead, Gatwick or Heathrow), don't have a car.

    Try Edinburgh, it looks as if they are pulling out the stops this year for the pre-NYE stuff

    The Torchlight Procession , Family Hoog & The Dancin' look interesting
