| Dublin |
Dublin
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.

| Algarve |
Algarve
Portugal’s southernmost region works hard to retain a certain gentility, something a little more tasteful than the Spanish costas. There are lots of luxury beach resorts and charming family-run pensões, as well as budget apartments.

| Berlin |
Berlin
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.

| Barcelona |
Barcelona
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.

| Prague |
Prague
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.

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

New York
Whatever it is you want to get into, New York pretty much has it all. Chic restaurants, renowned museums, brilliantly designed parks, glamorous cocktail bars, historic sites, clubs to die for and operas to weep at await you at every turn.

Built on seven hills, the capital of Portugal has plenty of vantage points from which to contemplate the distant horizons that called the Portuguese explorers.

| Crete |
Crete
People come to Crete to delve into some of the oldest preserved history of European civilisation, to explore the relatively untouched wilderness of the island’s interior, to relax on the beach, dine on fresh seafood and meander through atmospheric villages.

No city in the world is as beautiful as Rome, and few as glamorous. The centre is a chaotic labyrinth of ancient and new streets.

| Sicily |
Sicily
The beautiful island of Sicily has been influenced by almost every civilising force in European and Mediterranean history: Phoenician, Greek, Arab, Roman, Norman, Spanish and Italian. Its architecture, its people and its food still reflect this historic mix, as does its capital, Palermo.

| Miami |
Miami
Miami is a fascinating place where the Paris Hiltons of the world come to play along side the jet set, while the Great Oz – Miami itself – conducts business 24/7 from a palm-tree-lined cloak of million dollar condos – and lately condo hotels because people love living their daily life with maid and room service.

Madrid
Yes, the Madrid clichés are alive and well, and based on truth – the bullfighting, the flamenco, the brown sticky stews and wood-roast suckling pig.
