Flights £576 + hotel £409, taxes in · a checked bag each adds about £136

The catch: Resort fees and a checked bag are not in the total, and the best-value hotel has no free cancellation.

Worth it if you want museums, monuments and a short flight; skip it if a 9:30 PM Friday departure is too late for you.
