My Recommendations for European City Breaks

03/31/21 | City Travel Guide, Europe, Travel

I am so glad that yesterday’s post about London lockdown helped clear up things for so many of you – sorry I did not share it sooner.  And yes, it is true I am devastated the flight is likely restricted until July, I am optimistically now looking at some late August travel plans. They include a Scandinavian cruise and Croatian road trip and while these are long ones but to honest, I would be happy with a mini break or a weekend away.  In case you are also searching for one I have founded up some of recommendations.

Using business language we are reaching the end of Q1 and I am hoping by the end of Q2, the end of June, I will be writing about very different things. But until then, here’s to planning and dreaming.  Recently I came across Travel and Leisure’s list of The Top 15 Cities in Europe. Of these I have been to 9, missing  Granada Kraków, Istanbul Ravenna Seville, and Siena- clearly I  more traveling to do! But for now, here are my 17 European City Breaks recommendations, click on the photo to see more:

Travel Recommendations for Porto, Portugal

If you got to this point in the post, I applaud you – that was a lot of content!  I almost expanded the geography and included other city guides not in Europe like Charleston, Los Angeles, and Vancouver and could even have included exotic options like Middle Eastern cities Alenxandria, Cairo, Doha, or  Asian hot spots like Singapore.  But let’s leave those for another day?

Which of these European City Breaks are you most interested in?

    I would happily go to any of these places…your photos are insane and you get such great angles on them.

    At some point maybe you could do a post on how to travel affordably. Not sure if you are independently wealthy but I never seem to have quite enough funds to go to the places I want to go to.

    Any tips would be much appreciated.

    Too hard to choose…oh my gosh I have forgotten so many places you have visited and I am in huge envy of you.

    The pictures of Porto somehow are speaking to me but honestly, I would be thrilled to go just a about anywhere right now.

    Copenhagen is one of my favorite cities!

    So many of my college friends did their semester abroad there that I did manage a quick visit to spend time with them and fell in love with the city. I have been back once sense then but I agree with you, worth a trip.

    You have been to so many places, I hope I have the chance to visit half of these.
