Find out how Kirstie and Phil did city breaks on a budget, and in luxury

Phil and Kirstie tried a city break on a budget in Dubrovnik and a luxury weekend escape to Barcelona.

If you got your own ideas for the perfect city break, leave your comments at the bottom of the page.

Here's Kirstie and Phil's itinerary:


Featured budget accommodation:

Karmen Apartments


Alternative budget hotel options:

Rooms Vicelic

Like Kirstie and Phil's accommodation, this hotel is right in the heart of Dubrovnik's old town. If you can face the stairs (and there are a lot) this hotel will have you right in the heart of this beautiful city.

Hotel NH Numncia

Even though Barcelona was Kirstie and Phil's luxury option, it's also a great place to visit if you're on more of a budget. This hotel is slightly out of the heart of the city, but it's very easy to get into the thick of things.


Featured budget activity:

Dubrovnik Cable Car


Alternative budget activity:

Diving

Dubrovnick's perched on the edge of the Adriatic Sea, and while boat trips are available, sometimes it's more fun to be under the sea than on it.


Featured luxury accommodation:

W Hotel Barcelona


Alternative luxury hotel options:

Hotel Arts Barcelona

If you're spending a lot of money on a hotel, you would expect something special for your money. The top floor sauna - part of the hotel's extensive spa - fits the bill perfectly, looking out over miles of the Mediterranean.

Kazbek

While Dubrovnik was our budget option on the show, that doesn't mean that you should dismiss its luxury offerings.


Featured luxury activity:

Personal shopper from Antiques & Boutiques

Limo hire from Grup Limousines

Shops featured: Santa Eualia, El Vincon and Paris Vintage


Alternative luxury activity:

GT Driving at Circuit de Catalunya

Think Formula One looks easy? Come and test your skills at the home of the Spanish Grand Prix in a Porsche or Ferrari. You could be the next Fernando Alonso...
