Germany
Berlin is history and nightlife in one sprawling city — museums by day, clubs that run till Monday.
Berlin is huge, layered, and doesn't sleep — a city of Cold War history, world-class museums, and the most famous nightlife on earth. Pick a neighborhood and go deep; the city rewards it.
How long
3–5 days
Currency
Euro (EUR). Cards widely accepted; cash still useful at small bars.

Croatia
Split is a Roman emperor's retirement palace — Diocletian's, still lived in, with the sea on one side and ferries to the islands on the other.
Finland
Helsinki is a Nordic capital by the Baltic — design, saunas, and a sea-archipelago on the doorstep.
France
Bordeaux is wine country in a city — a UNESCO riverfront of 18th-century stone and the world's wine capital.
Italy
Naples is Italy raw and real — pizza where it was invented, a castle over the bay, and Pompeii an hour away.
Greece
Thessaloniki is Greece's second city — Byzantine churches, a waterfront, and the best food in the country, Athenians say.
Spain
Bilbao is the Basque industrial city reborn by a Guggenheim — old and new in one rebuilt river town.
