Just to walk around, take in some nice sights and eat/drink.

I really enjoy Antwerp and Dinant. I find Belgians really friendly and easy to talk to.

Have visited loads of cities in world but I adore both ROME and OHRID in north macedonia

Berlin and Budapest

mrsneville · 23/07/2026 11:02

Berlin, Valencia.

Also have a soft spot for Paris even though it's quite seedy.

SomersetBrie · 23/07/2026 11:03

Venice. No work required to see its beauty.

Bratislava and Rome.

Lived in Rome for 4 years and the countryside around it, and small towns, are beautiful.

Bratislava because it's really safe, lots of little coffee shops and beautiful parks. Dog friendly as well - always a bonus in my book. Super cheap as well and not (yet) ruined by tourists the way Paris/Rome (now) and other big cities have been.

I don't think you can beat a Spanish old town in fact

squashyhat · 23/07/2026 11:08

Naples. I know it's a marmite place but I love it all - the views, the people, the graffiti, the chaos and especially the pizza Smile

ThatSunnyCrow · 23/07/2026 11:09

Rome, Venice, Nice (great base to explore the Riveria via train).

Tuncro · 23/07/2026 11:09

San Sebastián and Venice London .
Despite living so close to London I have only properly explored the city recently. Has a fantastic vibe .

letsdoitforaweek · 23/07/2026 11:14

Not an original choice, but it's Rome for me. Absolutely staggering place. I could spend weeks there every year.

Also love many others, Vienna stands out for its beautiful buildings.

JustOneMoreMargarita · 23/07/2026 11:14

Lisbon and Berlin. Very different but I loved them both

BettyJoanPerske · 23/07/2026 11:16

Copenhagen and Malmo.

Malmö

Yes! Clean, efficient, accessible, some fabulous architecture. It helps that my best friend also lives there but it is an amazing city, and close enough to Copenhagen for a day trip.

Pedant61 · 23/07/2026 11:17

Rome. Been 9 or 10 times, and can't wait to go back.

whirlyhead · 23/07/2026 11:17

Venice, Berlin and London. if I were young I'd move to Berlin and get into the tech scene there. It's a very buzzy city.

I lived in London for years and I love it to visit (not so much to live in!!) There's so much to see and do.

Venice is just unique and magical though there are a few too many tourists nowadays.

For a short stay Santiago De Compostella
