The city is affordable to travel to as well as having reasonable prices for accommodation. Naturally, these prices can change depending on the time you visit and the location you stay in. If you do opt to stay further out for affordability, the metro system in Barcelona is very easy to use and works out much cheaper then taxi fare over a long weekend.
Rome

Rome can be a pricey place to stay in with tourist paying for quality food and entry into the attractions. Flights are however reasonably priced, so this saving may even out the total costs to the city break. Being able to visit the Coliseum in the summer, as well as seeing the Trevi Fountain is a perfect way to spend a hot day in Rome. The majority of landmarks are all within walkable distances and depending on where you stay, a lot of hotels have outdoor pools for the days you want to spend relaxing.
Dubrovnik

Because of the popular TV show ‘Game of Thrones’ which is filmed in this city, Dubrovnik has become an exotic city to explore. As beautiful as the city is, if you ever find yourself finished with roaming around it, it’s local to amazing national parks and lakes for a completely different perspective of the country. Croatia is further out than the previous cities mentioned, and travelling to the national parks can take a couple of hours, so it worth investing in a travel pillow to keep you comfortable during the long journey’s.
