Spec me a mini break/short holiday

stockholm is an amazing city to visit. If you drive about 10 minutes out of it you will see amazing forests and amazing lakes. Easy to do for under £500
 
I'm going to Barcelona in just over a week, and it looks like it would suit. Though, the city doesn't come 'alive' until the late (or early, rather) hours. We're paying about £130 for flights each, with Ryanair but booked quite late.

This probably won't suit, as you said you wanted south (warm) but I just looked into Amsterdam for the end of August. It's an awesome city (with so much more to do beyond the obvious) and perfect for a couples holiday I reckon. £100 pp flights with Easyjet which is a bargain.

Honorary mention for Berlin, because it's awesome.
