Press Release: The Ultimate City Break

Tuesday 7th August 2007

This summer sees the much anticipated release of the final film in the Bourne Trilogy. Once again we join trained assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) as he is hunted across Europe by the authorities.

Scenes from this exciting thriller were filmed on location in three of Europe’s most fascinating capital cities: Paris, Madrid and Berlin. If you too would like to explore the sights and sounds of these wonderful cities, albeit at a more leisurely pace, why not book a short break this summer with Railbookers.

Visit Paris with Railbookers and stay at the 4* Deluxe Hotel Scribe from just £339 per person for 3 nights, including breakfast and return train travel from London. Walk around the cobbled streets of Montmartre, ponder over the Mona Lisa in the Louvre and enjoy the view from the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Alternatively enjoy a short break in the vibrant city of Madrid; relax in the idyllic surrounds of Retiro Park, muse over Picasso’s Guernica in Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, and wander around the stately environs of the Royal Palace. You can stay at the 4* modern Catalonia Moratin Hotel from £489 per person for 3 nights, including breakfast and return train travel from London with Railbookers.

Take a short break in Berlin and trace the history of the Berlin Wall at the iconic Checkpoint Charlie, explore the magnificent Reichstag and marvel at the imposing columns of the symbolic Brandenburg Gate. Stay at the 5* Radisson SAS Berlin, which comes complete with the world’s largest cylindrical aquarium in the lobby, from £389 for 3 nights accommodation, including breakfast and return train travel from London with Railbookers.
