Weekend in Europe - where would you go?

[CatDogGuineaPig]

Looking for inspiration - going away for wedding anniversary, 2 nights in Europe early April and for some reason I'm stuck for ideas!

Lisbon, Berlin, Copenhagen

Budapest
Copenhagen
Florence

What kind of things are you interested in/do you like to do when you're on holiday?

Malaga, loads of flights, short airport transfer. Great food.

Berlin, easy transfer, great museums.

Copenhagen, easy airport transfer.

Lisbon or Budapest.

Brugge. Very pretty and short travel time to get there.

For two nights I'd do Porto as it's not too far and not too big.

Den Hague, fantastic city with a very short flight.

Literally just booked a long weekend in Ghent Belgium, looking forward to it.

I’m off to Budapest.

Done
Paris
Rome
Venice
Barcelona

Somewhere you can fly from your nearest and ideally smaller airport, for 2 nights you want to minimise pre airport travel plus waiting time! I would opt for somewhere no further than Spain or Central Europe

We did a weekend in Milan, it was fab

Riga, in Latvia. Short flight, a bit different, lots to see / explore, cheap when there.

Paris by train, lovely in spring.
Switzerland in the mountains

Florence is my favourite
Venice ditto

Bordeaux is a beautiful city. Good bus, tram and train services.

Whats your budget, some are very expensive!

Porto or Krakow

however when we did very similar we ended up looking at where we could go from (and come back to) our airport at reasonable times. That narrowed down the field a lot. We ended up in Nuremberg, Germany. Which was actually lovely.

Yes more details would have been good! Love historical/ beautiful sights, good food and if possible some warmth although I think I might have more options if I didn't always head for the sun! Always drawn to Italy and Spain so maybe looking for a change. Would like a boutique hotel. We are in between Heathrow and gatwick so good access to flights.

Malaga!

Any thoughts on Madrid?

Lisbon or Porto. Short flight, both relatively compact and we‘ve been to both in March and had sunshine.

Venice!

One weekend, Amsterdam, day trip to Bruges from there.

Anywhere is good really, hardly ever been on a city break to somewhere I didn't like although I wouldn't rush back to Milan.

I would check timings on sky scanner and find somewhere with morning flights out and evening flights back to maximise your time there.
