city break
Short metropolitan trip
A city break is a short vacation spent in a city, typically lasting a weekend or a few days.
The term emphasizes urban destinations over beach or countryside getaways: We're planning a city break to Barcelona in October.
City breaks usually involve sightseeing, dining, and cultural activities rather than relaxation.
