Give the DIY a break - weekends are there to be enjoyed! City breaks to some of the UK's finest cities, including Edinburgh and Dublin, are a must for anyone wanting a break from the norm.
Many Edinburgh and Dublin hotels offer a great deal for every type of traveller, whether you want to be in the middle of the action or enjoy the outskirts of the city.
Not sure which city is for you? Take a look at our guide below...
History fans will find themselves spoilt for choice in Edinburgh.
Divided into two parts, the city boasts The New Town, full of the finest Georgian architecture and built in the 18th Century whilst the Old Town is dominated by Edinburgh Castle, which sits atop an extinct volcano.
You don't need to be super fit, but a pair of hiking boots will come in handy for a strenuous stroll to Arthur's Seat, the tallest of Edinburgh's seven hills.
From here, you'll experience a truly awe-inspiring view of the city, which will make you glad for the trek.
Stop for a whiskey on the way down to give you a little extra energy too! For a party atmosphere, it has to be Dublin.
Situated on the east coast, it's a popular destination for weekend breaks thanks to its unique character and vibrancy.
Whether it's a relaxing respite or action packed weekend you're after, Dublin really does have it all.
Plus, with so many fantastically situated hotels on offer, you won't have to venture far to be in the centre of the action.
Dublin isn't all Guinness and pints - Dublin Castle is a beautiful 18th Century castle you can't help but fall in love with.
Take a guided tour around the State Apartments, once used to house the Vice Regal Court, and spend some time enjoying the beauty and grandeur of this historic site.
For the best location, look for Edinburgh hotels in the Royal Mile, as this is the tourist centre.
The city's oldest street connects Edinburgh Castle with the Palace of Holyrood House, and a walk along here will uncover many other exciting sites along the way, including the Scotch Whiskey Heritage Centre, Camera Obscura and Boswell's Court.
But when you do want to sample some of the black stuff, head to Temple Bar.
Classed as the Cultural Quarter, it is home to a plethora of traditional and non-traditional pubs, bars, restaurants, taverns and more.
Whilst it can become flooded with rowdy revellers come night time, the atmosphere will soon have you joining in the fun, even if it is simply to sample a pint of Guinness.
