Ideas for a split holiday - city then rural

[PickySlackTastic]

DD will be 15 next year. She only really wants to wander round cities and markets, people-watch and potter.

I just want to spend my time in incredibly quiet, beautiful places.

Dh and ds (14 next year) are more laid back and happy with whatever. Thank goodness

So ideally, we’re looking at 4 nights in a city, 3 nights somewhere quiet and beautiful. Don’t want to have to spend more than 3 hours travelling between them.

Short haul.
Not France
A lake would be nice. As would mountains

Ideas please!

Verona then Malcesine or Riva del Garda on Lake Garda.

I was going to suggest Glasgow, especially West End/Finnieston, then out into the Scottish west coast. But from your update it sounds like you may have already done that (or something like it).

Munich and then get the scenic train via Garmisch to Innsbruck
