With miles of golden soft sand, there are plenty of sun loungers, so sit back and enjoy the glorious weather.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Best for Sightseeing, Culture. With its stunning location overlooking the calm blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and its enchanting Old Town, Dubrovnik is the perfect destination to visit for a long weekend. One of the best ways to spend a day in Dubrovnik is to take in the sights and sounds of the Old Town. Not only is this the historical centre of Dubrovnik, a stunning UNESCO cultural World Heritage Site, it is also home to some of the filming locations for the TV series Game of Thrones. Start your day at the Pile Gate and grab a coffee and a pastry from one of the small cafes on the limestone-lined streets. Continue to Fort St. Lawrence, which at 37 metres above sea level, offers unparalleled views over the Adriatic and the Old Town. Pause on one of the narrow streets of the Old Town to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch and then make your way up Mt. Srđ by cable car. Be sure to stand at the back of the cabin for breathtaking views over the Old Town. Walk the City Walls and definitely stay for sunset!

Holidays Activity:
Port of Dubrovnik

Another way to spend a day in this oasis on Croatia’s southern tip is to request a picnic basket full of the local delicacies including local cheeses (try the Dinarski Sir!), freshly baked bread, cold cuts and seafood from your hotel and take it to one of the secluded beaches. Then sit back, relax and enjoy the fresh sea air – or an episode of Game of Thrones on your iPad!

Top tip Spend an evening on Lokrum Island, which is a fifteen-minute boat ride from the harbour in the Old Town. Escape the heat by taking a dip in the salt-filled lake located in the southern part of the island.

Krakow, Poland

Best for Sightseeing, City break, Art. If you’re looking for a short city break, look no further than Krakow, Poland’s cool little brother to Warsaw. While it is only starting to grow in popularity, it remains one of the cheapest cities in Europe with plenty to do. If you love beautiful architecture, rich history and great desserts (try their delicious cheesecake and Kremowka, a Polish Mille-feuille!), this is the place for you. One of the best things to do in Krakow is take a leisurely stroll through the historic centre of the city. Krakow’s Old Town is on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and it’s easy to see why. The city is filled with cobbled streets, architecture straight out of a fairy-tale, pretty cafes and charming restaurants. The main square in Krakow is one of the largest medieval market squares in Europe, and it’s a great place to just unwind and watch time pass.

Krakow – Wawel castle at day, Poland

To get a taste of the history of the city, don’t forget to explore Wawel castle, one of the most famous attractions in Krakow and home to an excellent museum. For more culture, Krakow is filled with art galleries and street art, which really adds to the cities atmosphere. The MOCAK art gallery is a great example of local and international artists and another gallery worth checking out is Bunkier Szutko, an awesome gallery which is surround by the peaceful Planty Gardens, great coffee and giant Polish breakfast bagels.

Top Tip Take a trip to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. While it sounds a little odd this UNESCO World Heritage Site must be seen to be believed. Situated hundreds of metres underground, the mine is decorated with elaborate carvings and statues, chandeliers and even an underground chapel. Due to the uniquely salty and damp micro-climate, a trip to the mines is even believed to be good for your health. You will never look at salt the same way again!
