Have you considered the coast of Denbighshire, Wales? I hear there's a really nice seaside town there.

Krakow, Prague, Vienna and Budapest would make a good trip.

Munich, Innsbruck, Zurch and on to Geneva.

I hear Lesbos is nice at the moment...

I much preferred Salzburg to Vienna. Definitely visit Budapest if going to the east of Europe.

Bruges is nice and, although a big city, I rather liked Berlin when the wife, I and our 2 children went last year.

Failing europe, Syria is quite cheap

Rome, Belgium, Barcelona or Madrid, Berlin, Portugal. I enjoyed them all on my trip.

How about Šiauliai in Lithuania, really nice rustic place with lots of great food and sights.

You could centre it around some event. Inmusic festival in Slovakia is highly rated.

Or Geneva have an open wineries house day at end of may.

Geneva is a dull city. Don't bother!

Do the Champagne route, take some time in Reims and Epernay. Or, you could do around the Rhone region. Bordeaux is a nice place to visit, but a lot of the good houses are closed and you can't visit them, whereas the Rhone region is bit more open.

Budapest!

Also you can get to other cities such as Vienna quite easily from there.

Bratislava, it's like Vienna but has less tourists.

Here's a few places I've been to in France:

Near Bordeaux:
St-Emillion would be a great shout for wine
Cognac for Brandy (obviously)

Near Toulouse:
Rocamadour is fascinating
Albi for the Cathedral there
Carcassone is a UNESCO World Heritage site

I really enjoyed Budapest. I'd love to go back and explore more.

I have to say, joining a pc forum and posting about a holiday first is a strange first post but WELCOME

+1 for Budapest. loads to do and literally caters from culture right through to a boozy stag doo weekend and it costs peanuts to eat and drink out there.

I can not wait to go back

Amalfi coast and Santorrini.

Around Slovenia and Croatia ending with a few days on the Adriatic would make a fine trip.
