Travel by feeling
I want a change of scenery
You are not chasing a landmark. You want different light, different food, different noise outside the window.
Where that works
Czech Republic
Prague
Among the best value city breaks in Europe, and small enough to enjoy properly in two or three days.
Austria
Vienna
If you want a city break without friction, this is it: clean, safe, well signposted and effortless to move around.
Netherlands
Amsterdam
One of the least stressful European cities for a first trip or a short weekend, with a train from the airport into the centre in 15 minutes.
Portugal
Lisbon
One of the easiest European capitals for a short trip: compact, affordable by Western European standards and pleasant even in winter.
