City breaks with Ryanair can be booked via a number of different tour operators as a package, however, if you book directly with Ryanair, you can book your flight and hotel separately, using their relationship with Hotels.com (their current hotel partner at the time of writing). And you can also utilise Ryanair Prime if you are a member.
It's important to note that if doing it this way, your bookings will be separate and not one package, nor will it be ATOL protected. As such, you can still book a city break with Ryanair flights through brands like Expedia, lastminute.com and many others to top destinations like Berlin, Barcelona and Budapest.
Ryanair flights from airports across the UK to many cities throughout Europe. UK airports include Aberdeen, Belfast, Bournemouth, Bristol, East Midlands, Leeds Bradford, Newcastle and Teesside, with new bases and routes being added regularly, so make sure to keep an eye out on news from your local airport. Some airports may have a seasonal focus, only offering flights to cities during peak times of the year, such as the summer, or Christmas break destinations in the winter.
Whether you love them or hate them, reviews of city breaks with Ryanair flights can vary. It's not always about the flights. With such low cost flights, you shouldn't come to expect too much from the airline, and if you're booking low cost accommodation too, keep your expectations low.
