Weekend getaway ideas?

Destinations Europe
1

I have been on a roll with going to a new destination each month this year so far. But I would like some more recommendations for weekend getaways in Europe – a destination that is perfect for 3 days. For example, I went to Venice for a weekend recently, and that was perfect!

Any destinations you can suggest, and what to do there?

  • I am planning on going throughout the year, so there is no specific time tied to it.
  • I am open to city breaks or anything that is accessible by public transport.
  • Must be in the Schengen area.

So many to choose from.

Are you flying, using the train, or travelling by bus?

I love doing long weekends away, and being based in Switzerland we have so many options.

I prefer to drive and explore the countryside, rather than concentrate on City Breaks.

Do you have any particular interests?

Love this idea of a new destination every month :slightly_smiling_face:

A few great 3-day options I’ve really enjoyed:

  • Lisbon – perfect mix of viewpoints, food and day trips (Sintra/Cascais)

  • Budapest – great atmosphere, thermal baths and easy to explore on foot

  • Barcelona – beach + city combo, very easy for a weekend

  • Prague – compact, beautiful and very walkable

  • Naples – amazing food and you can add Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast

  • Seville – incredible architecture, tapas culture and such a warm vibe

  • Alicante – more relaxed, great for sun, sea and an easy coastal escape

All of these are easy without a car and work really well for a short trip. If you liked Venice, I think you’d especially enjoy Lisbon, Seville or Prague :blush:
