Apologies if there is already thread but any suggestions for weekend away, potentially Eastern Europe for my son and I! I am 61 and he is 26! Mainly just a bit of sightseeing.

    I did a trip to Budapest on a day trip as part of a river cruise holiday, and it is very nice, lots to see. Had never considered it for a weekend break as don't know a word of Hungarian, but found lots of places had English translations, including menus, so might do it myself one day.

    Kraków. Perfect for weekend. Stay in old town. Everything you could want all within walking distance.

    Booked up to go to Montenegro (Podgorica) later this year for a long weekend. Have heard good things about it.

    Riga, Tallin, Dubrovnik, Ljulblana, Prague, Bratislava, Gdansk, Krakow, Mostar.....list is endless really. Any of these would be great.

    Also consider Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen or Helsinki.

    I went to Slovakia a few years back, some lovely architecture but it was like stepping back to when Redmidland was a fashion icon! ;)

    Went there in October, also as part of the cruise and thought it was rather nice too.

    Was in Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava earlier this year.

    1st 3 are all very good for a nice break and you can do a day trip to Bratislava quite easily on the train.

    You won't go wrong with the first 3. Budapest was very good and pretty cheap as well.

    Florence and Rome both excellent. Make sure you have your walking boots on though.

    You could take a couple of people with you.

    Just leave them there though please.

    Budapest is definitely worth a visit. Great city.

    Berlin is a must see, but I wouldn't class it as Eastern Europe.

    I've never been, but never heard anyone say anything bad about Krakow and most people who've been recommend it.

    I didn't enjoy Tallinn or Helsinki
