London (England)
According to where you go you can spend a lot of money. Choosing the off track places is the key. Avoid the High Street shops, hotels but go around the close suburb. Shoreditch East London is the place where everything trendy, quaint, unique and hip happens.
Local shops, galleries, street art, bakeries, restaurants, pop-up exhibitions in warehouses and for your stay think outside the box - around a city accommodations are always cheaper (that's a tip from all travellers). Gatwick airport hotels can give you what you are after without any hassle to commute to the heart of the capital and if you wish to jet off to the Continent it would be a win-win as well.
2
Fontainebleau (France)
Fontainbleau is a favourite weekend getaway for Parisians - not that far from the French capital but so different.
Architecture is awesome - there is a canal for a nice walk and a château too.
A welcoming region and yet not too invaded by tourists, Fontainebleau is worth a visit and a stay.
3
Principality of Andorra
Some people going for a road trip can be surprised when then see Andorra on the map. It is neither France nor Spain!
It is a principality! A lot of great outdoor features to see, explore and discover.
4
Reykjavik (Iceland)
A really beautiful place where nature rules with breathtaking landscapes.
A great example of what Iceland has to offer is featured in Sigur Ros "Heima" film!
5
Berlin (Germany)
A real rebirth for this part of Germany.
After the fall of Berlin's wall in November 1989, everything changed and tourists started to visit this unknown face of East Europe.
According to some Berlin is buzzing and has this kind of creative spirit where arty people like to meet and organize events.
Berlin Street Artt is also on the rise.
6
Luxembourg (Grand Duchy of Luxembourg)
Just 2586 sq km, or 82km long and 57km wide!
It offers impressive highlands and valleys.
Something to discover for sure is this unique mix of cultures and the "national" dish:
"Luxembourg’s cuisine is French and German based. The national dish is judd mat gaardebounen – slabs of smoked pork served in a thick cream-based sauce with chunks of potato and broad beans." source: Lonely Planet
7
Copenhagen (København - Denmark)
A fantastic city and the centre of the most dynamic region in Europe, the Øresund Region.
8
Bruges (Belgium)
Famous for the film "In Bruges" this area of Belgium is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region.
Bruges offers something very unique through its history and architecture too.
Some people call it the "Venice of the North".
9
Oslo (Norway)
Greenest International City...that says it all. Oslo city council voted to replace heating oil in city buildings with renewable energy sources by 2012! A great step for a city.
A good example to follow by others and certainly to see.
10
Amsterdam (Netherlands)
A city with a lot of bikes: this is the first statement from most visitors.
Flat landscapes and roads which are therefore easy to explore and cover on 2 wheels.
A cheap way to travel which will give you freedom to stop for a coffee and not to forget visit museums and galleries as well as follow the several canals.
