Often described as the most decisive naval battle in history, 2005 marks the 200 year anniversary of The Battle of Trafalgar. The Royal Navy, which has been inspired by the events of 200 years ago have been the main organisers of the Trafalgar 200 program of events. The highlight of the bi-centennial year is the Battle of Trafalgar Concert at the Royal Albert Hall London, which promises to be a massive musical celebration of the sea.
Although Trafalgar 200 marks events that happened 200 years ago, the focus is very much on the present day and celebrating the important role the sea plays in our lives today and the many exciting maritime challenges that lie ahead. In addition to the concert, navies from some 40 countries across the globe are expected at the International Fleet Review. The International Festival of the Sea will enable people to talk to sailors first hand about life on the ocean wave as well the chance to see a massive range of vessels including Tall Ships, modern warships and more.

Long weekend city breaks have rapidly become one of the most popular short holiday choices for the British public. Cities such as Amsterdam, Prague and Barcelona are filled throughout the year by tourists looking for a weekend escape. However, fitting in all the local culture, nightlife and rushing to airports and catching flights twice in a short space of time can leave the average visitor needing another break to recover! However, a more relaxing alternative could now be at hand for those who prefer to enjoy their holidays in the slow lane.
