UK city breaks....where to go?

[Mumofone87]

Looking got UK city break ideas, where to go and what to do?

Can travel to most places easily enough. Ideally not Scotland, from Aberdeen so been to most places up this way.
Haven’t been to London in a number of years, but done a fair amount of the touristy stuff. Also been to Cambridge most recently.

Fairly easy going, somewhere nice, good bars/pubs and just with stuff to do near by.

:)

Newcastle? Loads to do, and near a beautiful coastline.

Manchester is a great city, compact, great public transport and lots to do.

York

The perfect city break place. Picturesque, packed with historical stuff, arty, famous cafes....

Brighton- i360, pavilion, wandering the independent shops, beachfront walk, tea at the Grand.

Liverpool is my favourite

Belfast good for a few days to include a trip to Giants Causeway

York and/or Harrogate

Bath! Beautiful, loads to do and all manageable in a weekend.

York is lovely and so interesting historically. Great pubs too.

Liverpool - loads to do, all the museums are free except the one about the Atlantic War Centre, which is brilliant BTW, and there are loads of places to eat. Easy to get round by bus/Metro.

Liverpool, my go to place :)

Norwich, Canterbury.

Loads to see / do in Liverpool, I was surprised h I w nice the city was!!
Belfast really interesting and nice city, also (as per pp), close enough to go explore Northern Ireland sights such as giants causeway.

Ffs I wish MN had an edit button.. I make so many typos that I don't see until after I post!

With kids or without? What kind of things do you like best? Art? Museums? Sights? Independent or hipster?

That should have said fancy or hipster?

York, Liverpool, Belfast, Bristol are my top four.

Leicester, Worcester, Norwich were good for me as well but I’m into medieval history and wanted to see particular things

Loads of great suggestions. Without kids, and just anything really.

York, Belfast, Manchester, Chester, Liverpool, Brighton

Bristol
Bath
Chester
York
Portsmouth

York
Stratford upon Avon
Bath

Absolutely loved Liverpool when we were there for a few days in the summer. Been to many more 'exciting' locations, but we keep talking about how much we enjoyed Liverpool. Might help that we were there in the heatwave, but still..it was excellent.

Easy
Liverpool.
Loads going on nice friendly compact city, cheap too

Agree with everyone - Liverpool, Bath, Bristol and Leeds/York would be my top 4!

Sheffield, easy to get out to the peak district, only 15 minutes drive from the city centre, quite a few air bnb places actually in the peak district, Matlock Bath, Buxton, plus Chatsworth is a lovely place to visit. Nottingham, easy to get to Rufford or Clumber parks, both great for walks or picnics.

York, Durham, Chester relatively near to you (well, sort of...). Further away - Bristol, Bath, Oxford, Coventry as a base with Stratford on Avon/ Warwick as a trip out.
