As wonderful as summer holidays are, there is something special about winter city breaks. Wandering the streets wrapped up warm, diving into picture-perfect cafes and taking advantage of the fewer tourists and off-season prices - experiencing more for less!

Ah, bonfire night. The time for incredible light displays, your first glass of mulled wine of the year and other tasty treats, and all thanks to the incredible Guy Fawkes story. We couldn’t be more excited to see the festive season begin (yes, 1st November is the beginning of the Christmas countdown… at SACO) so here’s our list of the top five cities to enjoy bonfire night in:

Edinburgh is a city of dramatic views, changing skies and cute cobbled streets. A city so beautiful it breaks hearts again and again, especially during the festive season. So, as it’s now November and we’re starting to think about presents, mince pies and festive weekends away, we couldn’t be more excited to think about a cheeky trip to our beloved Edinburgh.

Halloween cocktails are a great way to mark the occasion without having to don a scary mask, and London has a good selection to choose from.

It’s the historic heart of London and the financial capital of the world, but what’s it really like to stay in The City? Pretty exclusive by all accounts. Fewer than 8,000 people call the Square Mile home, although 33 times that number travel into The City to work each day. That means that by staying at SACO – The Cannon, you’re one of a select group exploring the area from within.
