Holidaymakers looking for cheap city break accommodation need look no further than the nearest parking space.
More people in Britain now go for a weekend away than a beach holiday. Research by ABTA reveals that 42% of people took a city break last year, compared with 38% taking a beach holiday.
It means finding good value and centrally-located accommodation in European cities has become more of a challenge. Unless you pitch a car-shaped tent.
With a footprint of 80 square feet, the car-shaped tent is smaller than the average city bed and breakfast, but has the advantage of being free to stay in – if a little draughty.
The car-shaped tents by the artist Michael Rakowitz form part of an installation called (P)LOT, which seeks to disrupt the urban environment and reclaim road space.
