3/4 night break with Uni aged daughter

Hi,
My daughter and I went on a 3 night break to Annecy this summer, and had a great time. Lovely scenery, nice walks along the lake and a town that was good was just ambling along the streets and a bit of shopping. I am looking for suggestions for something similar next summer.

My daughter is not keen on big cities. Another place we have been to previously that she liked was Carcassonne.

I am looking for somewhere for a 3/4 night break.
Late June/ early July timing wise.
Nice scenery and easy access to some walks without a car.

I would love to hear your suggestions.

Salzburg, Krakow, Copenhagen/Malmø, Aarhus, Gothenburg, Helsinki - all just large towns by UK standards, but full of things to do.

York. It's a big city but didn't feel busy when we were there in Oct half term and we easily got around without a car

I went to Murcia in southern Spain. Beautiful city with walks plus good shopping. Our hotel even had a pool.

I've just done 3 days in York with my teens. They loved it! Even though we live less than an hour away.

And it's really not that big a city! Comparable to Bath rather than London for example. Very easy to get around.

Some great suggestions there. Salzburg, Murcia, Mahon, St Moritz and Bern probably top my list with a very brief look at those.

We have been to York several times and is absolutely the type of place She likes. She has mentioned Edinburgh as well before.

I like Bruges

SingingSands · 11/09/2022 20:26

Another suggestion: Malaga.

Great for a city break all year round. The Christmas lights are amazing, totally blows away anything the UK can do!

Genoa is really nice

EwwSprouts · 11/09/2022 22:05

Zell am Zee
Reykjavik - just come back from 4 days there with DS 18. We both rated it highly.

PAFMO · 11/09/2022 22:18

DD and I loved both Toledo and Salamanca.
@EwwSprouts how funny- I've been looking at those exact two places this afternoon for next year!

KidsgroveBoggart · 11/09/2022 22:31

Girona, Granada, Verona.

Oblomov22 · 11/09/2022 22:37

Bruges is tiny. Absolutely great.
Likewise Ljubljana. Fabulous.

Strictlystem · 11/09/2022 23:11

Ooh Zell am Zee and Girona look great too.
So many good options. I think I’ll have many years worth of options at the end of this.
So many places that wouldn’t have been on my radar too.

Isle of Man

Dordogne and Loire are great strolling walking beautiful.
Highly recommend you share a kayak down the Loire!

CatSeany · 12/09/2022 06:37

Bruges is a lovely small city with more of a town feel to it

EwwSprouts · 12/09/2022 08:52

@PAFMO Great minds! I hope you enjoy wherever you choose.

maddy68 · 12/09/2022 08:59

Sevilla. Hits the spot (I also love Carcassonne).

VeganGordie · 12/09/2022 09:11
