For relaxed retreats...

Vienna, Austria

Between the muscle-soothing spas and the cosy cafés, Vienna’s the queen of calm. Serenity is assured at Therme Wien, a wellness complex built upon Roman-era thermal springs. Unwind in the saunas, soak away any soreness in the whirlpools or book in for a treatment (or two). The city’s also studded with green spaces, where you can while away an afternoon among the blooms. Lainzer Tiergarten is one of the most popular, and you’ll often catch deer grazing and wild boars snuffling for treats.

Budapest, Hungary

Described by many as the world’s spa capital and boasting more than 100 thermal springs, Budapest trumpets tranquillity. The ornate buildings which house both Gellért and Széchenyi are incredible enough, but when you submerge yourself in the warm waters, consider holiday mode well and truly on. After all that pampering, make a beeline for the Great Market Hall. Swan around the food stalls sampling Hungarian delicacies like goulash.

Lucca, Italy

Say ciao to an Italian idyll, where life ticks by at a leisurely pace. Trimmed by trees and lush gardens, the perfectly preserved city walls call for sun-kissed strolls. Meander along the 4.9km centuries-old promenade that runs along the ramparts and enjoy the sweeping views into the city’s medieval streets. Evenings call for vino-sipping in dinky wine bars and feasting on the very best Tuscan produce.

For active stays...

Bergen, Norway

Promising fun along the fjords, Bergen is a beaming display of UNESCO-stamped wooden houses and fairytale sights, in Norway’s second-largest city. Its marvellous mountains look especially dreamy in the springtime sun, so pack your trainers and get ready to clock up the kilometres. If you’re an explorer at heart but don’t fancy the hassle of planning, opt for one of our Discover More breaks. You’ll get a full-day Norwegian fjords tour included in your trip!

Reykjavik, Iceland

Nature-packed escapes are Iceland’s specialty, and the capital puts you in prime position to uncover it all. From having the chance to witness the kaleidoscopic aurora borealis (Northern Lights) glow above you to booking a whale-watching experience, there’s so much to see and do! You can also get the best of both worlds here, thanks to a selection of geothermal spas — perfect for post-adventure R&R! Check out the Sky Lagoon, which is known for its healing qualities.

Marrakech, Morocco

The hustle and bustle of Marrakech’s Medina is what people flock to the city for. Haggle for argan oil, mint tea and clay tagine pots to cook with in your kitchen at home, before boxing off fascinating sights. Bright and bold hues command at the Koutoubia Mosque and Menara Gardens too. Later, dinner shows mixing meals with dance performances make for cracking evenings out. Once you’ve got your culture fix, why not head into the High Atlas mountains, where a myriad of trails awaits?
