Looking for an excuse to get away without the hassle of planning a major holiday?

Whether you fancy a city break packed with culture, a family adventure filled with unforgettable attractions, or simply a change of scenery for a night or two, the Radisson Hotel Group has hundreds of places across the UK and beyond that make exploring easier than ever.

It operates more than 800 hotels, with brands ranging from stylish city-centre stays and contemporary lifestyle hotels to affordable luxury escapes.

So if you're looking to turn a day out into a mini break, here are four UK destinations where you can pair a stay at a Radisson hotel with a number of memorable attractions nearby.

LIVERPOOL: From Beatles landmarks and bustling waterfront attractions to independent restaurants and lively nightlife, this vibrant city is packed with so many reasons to visit.

For a stylish stay, check into the Radisson RED Liverpool, which occupies the beautifully restored former North Western Hotel building opposite Lime Street Station.

From there, get yourself a Liverpool Pass - it unlocks entry to six major local attractions – such as the River Mersey Explorer Cruise, the British Music Experience and Strawberry Field.

Spend your day exploring the famous Royal Albert Dock, immersing yourself in music history or simply soaking up the atmosphere of one of the UK's most characterful destinations.

After sightseeing, you'll be perfectly placed to head back for a comfortable night's sleep before exploring even more the next morning.

LONDON: World-famous landmarks, riverside strolls and bucket-list attractions make the capital a fantastic choice for a short break.

A stay at Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge puts many of the city's biggest sights within walking distance, including Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the South Bank.

Of course, no trip feels complete without taking a ride on the London Eye, where sweeping views across the skyline offer a completely different perspective on some of Britain's most recognisable landmarks.

Fill your itinerary with everything from museums and theatres to shopping and river cruises, making it easy to tailor your break to suit your interests.

If you are looking for a memorable day out with a difference, take on family and friends at Monopoly Lifesized and step into the action-packed interactive board game.

The UK's largest permanent digital immersive art experience is also found in the city.

With stunning visuals and music throughout, Frameless brings world-famous artworks by Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt and more to life.

BIRMINGHAM: If you're travelling with children, few city breaks offer quite as much entertainment packed into one place.

The Radisson Blu Hotel Birmingham is ideally located for exploring the city centre and provides a comfortable base for a fun-filled getaway.

Families can head to Cadbury World, where chocolatey zones, live demonstrations, interactive rides and 4D cinema experiences await.

If the youngsters still have energy to burn, the medieval fortress of Warwick Castle is a short drive from the city centre - offering live jousting, massive bird of prey displays and jaw-dropping history within its walls.
