Press Release: Autumn leaves

Friday 14th September 2007

Autumn has arrived! It is time to put away your summer wardrobe (if you ever brought it out) and get your winter coat dry cleaned. However, just because summer is over doesn’t mean the holidays have to stop, why not book an autumnal break or holiday with Railbookers?

Take a trip to the sovereign state of Luxembourg and gaze at the changing colours of the forested Ardennes region outside your train window along the way. Enjoy the green parks and gardens of Luxembourg’s Old Town and relax with a coffee on the tree-lined Place d'Armes, the main square of this cosmopolitan city. Visit Luxembourg with Railbookers and stay at the Grand Hotel Mercure Luxembourg Alfa from £209 for 3 nights accommodation with the 3rd night free, including breakfast and return train travel.

Enjoy Italy away from the heat of summer with an autumn break in the renaissance city of Florence. Marvel at the masterpieces in the Uffizi Gallery such as Botticelli, Raphael and Michelangelo. Or take a walk along the banks of the River Arno for an unrivalled view of the city’s oldest bridge, the 14th century Ponte Vecchio. Stay at the pretty Balestri Hotel from £449 for 2 nights accommodation including breakfast and return train travel.

Visit Barcelona in September and make the most of the last rays of sun in this unique city. Whether you spend your time on Barcelona’s beautiful beaches, admiring the architecture of the Gothic Quarter or wandering along Las Ramblas, Barcelona is the perfect place to while away those autumn days. Stay in the modern 4* Catalonia Corcega Hotel from just £459 for 2 nights accommodation including breakfast and return train travel.
