Next weekend — Oct. 6-9Hamburg, Germany: 92.05 pounds round trip

Fly Germanwings from London Gatwick to Hamburg.

Next month — Nov. 4-6Wroclaw, Poland: 65.02 pounds round trip

Fly Ryanair from London Stansted to Wroclaw.

Situated at the foot of the Sudety Mountains, upon the Odra River and cut through by its abundant tributaries and canals, Wroclaw is a welcoming city of 12 islands and 112 bridges.

Despite almost complete destruction during World War II, Wroclaw is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Poland. To experience the local splendor, take a stroll through Szczytnicki Park with its 370-plus species of trees and shrubs. You can also take a romantic stroll on Ostrow Tumski among the hand-lit oil lamps that line the streets.

Rynek, the central square, is home to picturesque buildings, including the town hall that now houses the Museum of Burgher Art. Stop at one of the many cafes lining the square for a local brew and enjoy a performance from one of the many musicians or pantomime artists. You can also pick up an inexpensive painting from one of the local painters that ply their trade in the square.

Six months from now — April 6-9Gibraltar: 183.57 pounds round trip

Outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy the vast amount of activities available to fill a short weekend or an extended holiday.

Take an official rock tour to the upper rock nature reserve and learn about thousands of years of history. Explore St. Michael’s Cave — with its stalagmites and stalactites — which was once home to Neanderthals and Neolithic man.
