Edinburgh has been named the best city in the UK to have a 'quickie'. Described as a whistle-stop weekend hop that offers the same fun as a longer getaway but over a shorter period of time, the capital was picked out as the best British city for a quick trip away.
A spokesperson for holidu.co.uk, who crunched the data and found out which are the best, and most feasible, cities around the world for a ‘quickie’, said: "Numerous recent studies have highlighted that people are taking more short trips than ever – which is unsurprising really, considering that this type of travel enables you to visit more destinations and take more trips in a year.
"Travel ‘quickies’ aren’t just restricted to weekend breaks either, and also refer to layovers of more than one day in an extra destination at the beginning or end of a longer trip."
