Each City’s Escape Rooms
Before you go clicking that back button, just consider this. Of course, you have probably heard of escape rooms but aren’t interested because you don’t know what they are. When they first started, escape rooms weren’t that great. But they have evolved. So much so that they attract visitors to cities such as Liverpool, New York, and Tokyo.
his makes now a good time to open a PanIQ Escape Room franchise if you have some spare cash tucked away as popularity grows.
Visit City Zoos
Not all major cities have a zoo. But some do. Some of the best city zoos from around the world include San Diego Zoo, Beijing Zoo, and Loro Parque in Spain. These are great when on a city break because many major zoos are further out and require travel. But city zoos are essentially on your doorstep, meaning you can add these to your plans when you have some spare time.
And this spring is a great time to visit because many of the animals may have just given birth.
Top City Break Attractions Include History
There are historical places to visit in every city. Paris’ catacombs, Rome’s colosseum, and The Alamo in San Antonio are amazing examples. Of course, there are an endless number of historical sites. And when you visit a city, you are never too far from one.
Even better, a great deal of them ask for donations. So you can give as much or as little as you like. Or enter for free if you are short on funds. However, a gift-shop souvenir is a great way to remember your trip.
The Touristy Dock Areas
Coastal cities almost always come with docks. And many of these were abandoned for decades. However, rejuvenation programs and gentrification mean a lot of them are now trendy areas. Apartments, bars, and restaurants are common in modern dock areas.
Take Liverpool’s Albert Dock, for instance. This once-decayed place is now home to some of the best places to eat in the North West of England. And top movies like Captain America were filmed there.
City-Based Theme Parks
Finally, the most fun you can have is probably at a theme park. There are many theme parks anywhere you go. Great examples include Disney World, Alton Towers, and many more. But often, these require travel to distant areas. Yet some cities have theme parks either inside them or located pretty close. Yomiuriland in Tokyo is a great example. But there’s also Babylon Park Camden, a massive indoor park in London. And i-City theme park in Shah Alam in Malaysia.
Summary
City break attractions can be hard to think of when out and about. You can think about going to escape rooms, visiting local historical sites, and finding theme parks in or near your chosen city.
