Travel in luxury for less

12th August 2008

As the credit crunch continues to bite, it is always nice to be able to enjoy some luxury for less.

This autumn, getting away from it all does not get much better than a five-night tour through the ancient streets of the Old Town in Zurich, the beautiful canals of Venice and taking in the baroque architecture of Turin.

Travellers will spend the first night of their holiday at the three-star Hotel du Théâtre in Zurich, which is housed in a former theatre from the 1950s.

While staying in the famous city, visitors can an evening walk by the Limmat River by the twin towers of the magnificent Grossmünster cathedral.

The next stop on the trip is the Italian city of Venice, where guests will stay for three nights at the five-star Hilton Molino Stucky Hotel, which is a 19th-century former flour mill. The hotel also has its own rooftop pool.

Venice has numerous sights to take in, from St Mark's Square and the Grand Canal to the Doge's Palace. There also numerous cafes, restaurants, galleries and theatres.

After experiencing what Venice has to offer, the next stop is Turin, where travellers will stay overnight at the five-star Diplomatic Hotel.

Escape the credit crunch blues.
