Paris is moderately cheap.

At night time the city twinkles to life and cool cafe’s become even cooler wine bars and dreamy romantic restaurants.

Copenhagen O

ne of our close Scandinavian neighbours, Copenhagen is located on the islands of Zealand and Amager and, only a short air journey from Ireland, the city should be on our bucket list. Modern, forward thinking and compact in size, Copenhagen is the ideal city break destination. The famous Tivoli Gardens have always been a popular attraction and, of course, the iconic statue of the Little Mermaid (whilst minute in size!) is still a worthy photo opportunity. Copenhagen has lots of cool elements like pristine waterways, high class restaurants (and the World’s No 1), bicycle paths and great beer! The city is even linked to Malmo in southern Sweden, so you can even visit two countries in one go! If only Carlsberg did cities.......

Amsterdam

C

anals, tulips, bicycles, brown bars, Dam Square, Red Light District – Amsterdam is a city that we all want to visit. You’ll fall helplessly and hopelessly in love. Smitten. Guaranteed. There’s just something about a city that has possibly the narrowest houses imaginable all teetering along canal banks and its citizens zooming about on bikes that makes you stop, stare and simply become instantly infatuated. Capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam has a lot of interesting sightseeing options. Renowned artists Rembrandt and Vermeer are well represented in the acclaimed Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh gets a Museum all to himself.

On a seedier side, the Red Light District is almost as much a tourist attraction these days as it is a “working” area. Go for a wander.

It’s harmless.

Prague

I

t’s not hard to figure how Prague is such a popular city break destination. Prague is picturesque, pretty and very polished.

A city of gorgeous historic buildings, the architecture is simply breathtaking. Like details from a fairytale, Prague Castle, St Vitus Cathedral and the Cinderella-like Church in Old Town Square, Prague doesn’t even need to try. You’re hooked from the outset. The perfect venue for Christmas markets, the city equally attracts for leisurely walking tours, sightseeing trips for culture and history and, naturally, a super choice for sampling local beers and hearty food. Capital of the Czech Republic, Prague has cobbled streets, narrow medieval alleyways and the iconic Charles Bridge over the Vltava River, linking the Old and New Town.

Treat yourself to a visit.

Brussels

C

lose to home and known to us all now as home of the European Union, Brussels is far more than just a political hotspot of administration for Government officials. The majesty of La Grande Place, definitely one of Europe’s most beautiful public squares, together with many other splendid buildings, means the capital of Belgium stands proud. A compact city, Brussels is medieval and modern, cool and hip, yet deeply traditional and conservative. Wonderful museums and art galleries take the city to cultural heights and super shopping options are two a penny. Long associated with fine chocolate, the foodie will also be entranced with “moules frites” (mussels and chips) and excellent craft beer. Stella Artois, take a bow. Where do Brussels sprouts come from though?

A tour of Vatican City (a country in its own right) is imperative to view this city within a city. Seat of the Roman Catholic Church, admire St Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel and stunning frescoes and statuary of Michelangelo. Some selfie opportunities are always available on the banks of the Tiber River and, of course, no visit to Rome is complete without tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain.

Venice

C

onjuring images of romantic gondolas, striped poles and gritty canals where gondoliers sail under bridges and lovers of every age sigh and relax, Venice is a city on the water. The Bridge of Sighs, Rialto Bridge and every cobbled alleyway exudes romance and a palpable sense of history. St Mark’s Piazza is just one of the iconic landmarks in this fascinating city where la dolce vita is taken very seriously indeed. The circuit of canals (actually 100 islands built on a lagoon) is the heart of Venice and means a vaparetto ride is more accessible than a gondola (financially anyway!) and is the regular mode of transport as there are no roads.

Budapest

S

traddling the mighty Danube River, this Hungarian capital is a city of two halves with Buda (and its hilly Old Town) on one side and Pest on the other. Budapest is both ancient and modern and is a fantastic choice as a city break destination as history and commerce collide and mingle to offer a varied holiday experience. A colourful sightseer’s dream, Buda Castle is just one of many magnificent buildings to whet the appetite of an explorer. The lazier travellers can opt for a spa day where natural thermal pools and a massage of weary bones is the order of the day! Budapest is a young city, so buzzing nightlife and an amazing musical scene pulsates throughout. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Budapest is bountiful!

Dubrovnik

P

earl of the Adriatic and UNESCO World Heritage Site, Dubrovnik certainly earns her place in Europe’s hierarchy of medieval marvels. Sporting thick city walls encompassing the stunning Old Town, Dubrovnik is perfect as a city break destination or proper sun holiday venue as the city environs are green and lush, stippled with fine hotels and back yards that wiggle toes in the azure waters of the Adriatic. Dubrovnik Old Town is renowned for its iconic terracotta tiled roofs, cobbled stone streets, tourist shops, traditional restaurants and those very “walkable” stone ramparts that encircle the lot. Go to the harbour front, enjoy an al fresco lunch quayside or hop on a ferry to visit one of the many fabulous Elaphiti islands in southern Croatia.

Barcelona

F

ootball? Gaudi’s quirky buildings? Olympic Stadium? Tremendous tapas? Whatever Barcelona means to you, there is no getting away from the fact that it is an amazing city. Capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, Barcelona is renowned for modern art and architecture, fabulous food (whole restaurants are given over to tapas!) and is often used as a hub for accessing the sunny resort of Salou and fantastic theme park, PortAventura. Stroll through Las Ramblas, the heart of the city. People watch, enjoy the buskers, sip an aperitif or gaze at the caged birds and flower sellers. Visit la Boqueria where food vendors and local traders do brisk business. Walk the Jewish quarter and admire the Gothic style streets. Barcelona is surely a star in Spain’s firmament.

Madrid

G

eographically bang in the centre of Spain, Madrid is the country’s capital and is central to all things Spanish. World class art galleries, awesome architecture, elegant shops and edgy boutiques, wide boulevards and public parks are all hallmarks of Madrid and native Madrilenos are immensely proud of their city. Modern but hip and cool too, Madrid really has a lot to offer every taste and pocket. Naturally, there are brilliant bars and restaurants and super shopping stores, so a short break to eat, drink and just be properly merry is heavenly. The city is remarkably easy to explore and with enough culture to satisfy any artistic snobbery, it’s hard not to feel smug viewing Picasso, Dali, Miro, Goya and Velasquez. Magnificent Madrid awaits.

Malaga

R

eigning supreme on Spain’s Costa del Sol, Malaga gained huge benefit from a full facelift in the last number of years and has emerged from ugly duckling status to swan-like stature. The city is now utterly mesmerising and its charms are under wraps no more. Pedestrianised streets, elegant boulevards, splendid shops, an upmarket marina and a lovely Cathedral mark Malaga as no longer lady-in-waiting, but definitely the Bride! Pablo Picasso was born in the city and a dedicated Museum is now open in his honour. Grab a pew with a view on any street corner, sip a cool drink and enjoy the parade of people enjoying the sights. If you fancy a loll on the sand, visit any of the nearby sun resorts to top up your tan.

Istanbul

ne of the world’s most exciting cities, Istanbul is the jewel in Turkey’s crown and, as former Constantinople, was the centre of the Ottoman Empire. Home to the Blue Mosque with 6 minarets, Hagia Sophia and Galata Tower, Istanbul has amazing sights at every turn. Straddling the Bosphorus, literally placed with one foot in Asia and one foot in Europe, Istanbul takes advantage of two mighty cultures and is an historical marvel. A true dichotomy, Istanbul is tolerant and rich, accommodating Islam and Christian traditions, Asian and European Mores and ancient and modern traditions side by side. Colourful, boisterous, friendly and vast, Istanbul will steal your heart and start a lifelong romance. Visit once and be forever in love!

New York

T

he Big Apple. So good they named it twice. Needs no further description, does it? We all know and love New York. A beacon of light and hope over the ages, New York is our near neighbour across the Atlantic pond and each of the 5 Boroughs is exciting in different ways. Christmas shopping is legendary in the city and annual treats of a Broadway show or new exhibition or top attraction are all good reasons (or excuses!) to pay a long or short visit to New York. Think Central Park in the spring, Statue of Liberty, Radio Music Hall or Brooklyn Bridge in the autumn and be immediately transported to a dimension where movie stars roam. Why not join the lucky ones and notch your bucket list?

s close to a home from home as is possible, Boston in beautiful Massachusetts has huge Irish connections and is of great historical interest as it played an important role in the American Revolution and even has a Freedom Trail to bring the past to life.

Las Vegas

W

hat happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Why this phrase was ever coined (bad pun?) is a mystery. Save your coins for the slot machines and roll out those chips for the roulette table. Las Vegas is the world’s top casino city, but it’s also much more. Twinkling far above the Mojave desert in Nevada, it’s said that Vegas is visible from space. Anyway, boasting some of the most magnificent, over-the-top hotels, your every wish and fantasy can be played out here. Whether you’re a novice gambler, a high roller or a Celine Dion fan, Las Vegas just has it. Fancy a gondola ride, get married by Elvis, visit an Egyptian pyramid or watch Cirque du Soleil, you can. Yea, Vegas baby!

Toronto

T

otally cool Toronto is a dynamic Canadian city in the province of Ontario. On the shores of Lake Ontario, many activities are water based, offering an extra dimension to this already bustling metropolis. Toronto is Canada’s largest city, so there’s no shortage of attractions and visitors are often pleasantly surprised by the modern architecture dominated by vertigo-inducing skyscrapers and the iconic CN Tower, the second tallest building in the world. Hugely multicultural (there are over 140 languages spoken here!), Toronto benefits from this happy racial mingling with superb ethnic restaurants, international bars and a collision of musical cultures. Toronto is a real “happening” place with nightlife to beat any band and enough activities to curb your enthusiasm!
