Where shall we go?

[Dilbertian]

I have the opportunity to take adolescent dd away for a few days in the second half of July. Previously we have enjoyed Paris, Amsterdam and Copenhagen. We like food and history more than culture and shopping, though we like all of them.

Budget would be sharing a twin room in a budget hotel central to wherever we go.

Any suggestions?

what is the budget?

id suggest seville but it will be debilitatingly hot

Berlin or Munich are both great for teens.

Florence

I was going to respond, "not too hot", but then - Florence...

Consider visiting Lisbon, Portugal for its rich history and delicious food. Alternatively, Prague offers beautiful architecture and a storied past. Both cities have affordable central accommodations.

Germany- Berlin, Munich, Cologne.

Another vote for Berlin

Berlin if you love history, won’t be too hot either.

Hamburg is interesting too.

Prague... last time I went there it was behind the Iron Curtain...

So difficult to choose!

Budapest is ideal

Lisbon!

would anyone recommend madrid?

Lisbon is gorgeous, but we had a family holiday there and we want to go somewhere new.

Madrid is great, but very hot in July.

I'd also recommend Cologne or Bilbao.

Vienna?

Or northern Spain - Bilbao is a great city, lively and young with fantastic food (really fantastic) the Guggenheim, and many, many pinxto bars. It's a vibrant and civilised modern European city with much to do, lots of it outdoors.

Porto. Strasbourg. Lisbon. Nice (my favourite).

Krakow for the history? Shouldn't be horribly hot and the food, when we went, was surprisingly good. Also good value.

Budapest

Avignon. I had a lovely time there in April.

Gibraltar

I found Madrid boring.

Vienna?
Scandi somewhere?
Valencia by the sea?

Just seen you are foodies. In that case I'd forget my previous suggestions and go to Italy and cope with the heat. Or the south of France.
