Amsterdam
£159
A city with a sense of historical continuity, apparent in the grand canal-houses, and the imposing churches and street scenes, Amsterdam seems to have barely changed since its depiction in paintings created 400 years ago.

Barcelona
£180
The more pundits insist Barcelona’s star is on the wane, the more popular the city becomes. There can be few who have yet to dip a toe in its balmy waters, contemplate Picasso’s early works or scale the dizzying towers of Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, but such is the blend of the hedonistic and the cultural that people just can’t resist a return visit.

Berlin
£217
While the city has always been a bolthole for the unconventional, today it’s also a major cultural centre, combining top-flight museums, galleries and concert halls with thriving alternative arts and music scenes. As one of the greenest cities in Europe, there are plenty of leafy spots in which to take a break.

Budapest

Bustling Pest has historical treasures from its Habsburg and Jewish past, while verdant, hilly Buda is a hiker’s heaven.

Dublin
£117
Dublin might look like the old grey town of Europe, but don’t be fooled – this is a city on the move. Its nightlife is famous, its museums are impressive, its restaurants creative and its shops well worth your time. And as for the Guinness… you’ll never taste better.

Edinburgh
£146
Edinburgh is well on its way to becoming a genuine European capital city. Its new, hot-to-trot (albeit highly controversial) parliament building is now stealing some of the city’s architectural limelight as well as providing a stylish home for the newly devolved government.

Long considered the cosmopolitan capital of the Far East, few people realise that this ex-British colony, financial power house and now Special Administrative Region is 96% ethnically Chinese.

Marrakech
£504
With its Islamic faith and parallel belief in everyday magic, a medina organised around craft guilds and medieval manufacturing methods, and a trading culture where doggedly independent mountain tribespeople interact with ancient urban traditions, Marrakech is the shortest distance you can travel from Europe and wind up somewhere genuinely different.

Everybody’s heard about Prague’s sublime, cheap-as-water beer and libertine lifestyle, and most have some inkling of its breathtaking architecture. The latter, mainly the result of successive Habsburg invasions over the last 500 years, delights and surprises at every turn: Gothic spires trade off against Cubism, then give way to baroque palaces.
