Luxembourg

Bergamo. Ryanair's biggest hub outside the UK. They got a bit of stick when they started because they call it "Milan Bergamo" and it's miles from Milan, but it's a €3 bus ride into Bergamo town which is just great. There's the lower town which is a nice modern European city, the upper town which is all wonderful old Italian architecture with places selling Aperol Spritz in takeaway cups for €5, and then the upper-upper town with even more amazing views. 48 hours of everything you like about Italy, two hours from Stansted.

Both very close to the airports and easy to get to!

Bratislava.
Beautiful hidden gem of a city. The airport is about 20 mins by taxi and very quiet.

Apparently Malaga airport is the best place to fly into for Seville.. with just a short train ride.

It's two hours on a train from the main station at Malaga plus the 15 mins on the train from the airport - not quite the same as a 20 minute taxi ride if you are only on a weekend break .

Lisbon?

MariaLuna · 22/03/2024 23:39

Amsterdam is a 15 minute train ride from the airport.

GrumpyPanda · 22/03/2024 23:41

Munich
Cologne
The Hague

Another vote for copenhagen. 20 minutes on the metro and you're in the (wonderful) city centre. Love Copenhagen so much!

SabrinaThwaite · 23/03/2024 00:19

Pisa - the airport is about 1 km from the city main railway station. There’s a shuttle train, but if there are several of you travelling then a taxi is cheaper.

Tatapie · 23/03/2024 00:35

Definitely Palma

PralinaChocs · 23/03/2024 00:38

Innsbruck
Frankfurt
Zurich

ASighMadeOfStone · 23/03/2024 07:12

Innsbruck was the fastest I've done recently. Through the airport in less than 10 minutes, onto a bus outside and into the city.
