Holland
Culture, decadence ... anything you want really. Euope's best weekend break.

Greece
700 islands and lots of crumbling buildings to admire. I spent 10 days hiding in an Aegean paradise.

Spain
If Ireland was hot you could hardly tell the difference. Jambon, Cruzacumpo, and miles of cork trees.

Germany
Berlin is cutting edge, post-hip and friendly. As for the rest of it ... well I wouldn't know.

Italy
More museums than you can shake a stick at. Culture, art, mopeds and other musings from the Mediterranean.

France
Viva la .. etc. Paris, Marseilles, the Haut Alps, and a camping trip from the sea at the bottom to the sea at the top.

Norway
A European Utopia. Beer that's almost worth the rip-off, the Bergen-Oslo train marathon and drifting on the fjords.

Portugal
Europe's second best weekend break. Lisbon - the city by the sea. Bring your dining shirt and your sand bucket.

Belgium
Home of the butter mountain and wine lake. Glass and steel metropolis of bureaucracy. Tourist traps, waffles and home of the fritte!
