@fecklessfox1000
Was just looking at return flights to Milan from Manchester... ยฃ28!
I can't even get to Manchester and back on the train for that! (from Staffordshire)
There are so many cheap flights to Carcassonne, France from the UK at the moment.
This medieval citadel (which is on the UNESCO list of world heritage sites) and the surrounding area is a great choice for somebody looking to spend a few days away in a fairytale setting.
A very creative, award winning cocktail bar in Budapest ๐ญ๐บ
๐Hotsy Totsy
A prohibition era cocktail bar, with an unconventional menu (the menu is a pack of playing cards) and ingenious flavour combinations that will intrigue you. This really is a unique

๐Blinker Bar - 6th on
Dรผsseldorf - A very fashionable German city ๐ฉ๐ช and an old town with a bar/brewery/foodie culture so rich, it is often referred to as "The longest bar in the world".

My favourite bar in the centre of Milan for everything Campari. Try the famous Sbagliato or something different - their Seltz on the Sea ๐

If you are going to Albania, you must not forget to spend a couple of nights in Berat ๐ฆ๐ฑ
Walk across Gorica bridge. Explore the old town of Mangalem and see the hillside Ottoman houses. Visit the Red Mosque and Berat Castle.
For the more adventurous, join a tour to the canyons
The "Diamond Capital of the World" - Antwerp, Belgium ๐ง๐ช

Brno, Czechia ๐จ๐ฟ
Brno - about 2.5 hours train ride from the crowds of Prague - is a city with an authentic feel, great food and a love for music. But I am here to suggest 3 bars;
๐Super Panda Circus - A psychedelic cocktail bar with a very unique atmosphere.
Prague's bar scene is so cool and there are sooo many that I could recommend!
I am going to start with

The best wine bar in Bordeaux?

Surprised just how cheap it is here (considering the building looks so fancy). Many local wines and good charcuterie boards are served excellently in a busy, but laid back atmosphere .

Even though I don't see visiting the "Leaning Tower" as anywhere near a must-do thing in Italy. The city of Pisa itself does have a certain charm... and there are some good bars and restaurants to be found in the area! ๐ฎ๐น

One of the things I miss the most about Bangkok ๐น๐ญ is having lunch at the shopping mall food courts!
The choice, value for money and the quality is crazy! You can get a meal (some of the tastiest food in your life) with a drink, for between ยฃ1 - ยฃ1.50!
My favourite - Pier 21
Regensburg, Germany ๐ฉ๐ช - A 90 minute train journey from Munich ๐
You know I love a UNESCO medieval city! This is one of the prettiest in Germany. With the 12th century stone bridge, the 13th century cathedral and almost 1000 monuments - this city centre makes for a lovely

I'd like to say "Just follow your nose!" but it really isn't that simple. With over 20 to choose from and all of them claiming to be the best, it keeps competition high. But below are some of the highest rated;

Sip some of the most affordable drinks in central Rome at

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina ๐ง๐ฆ
Stari Most (Old Bridge) is seen by many as the instagrammable centre-piece of Mostar. But also, many people are unaware of the historical significance and natural beauty that surrounds this region.
Not to be missed when visiting Bosnia.
