I only have time for a quick weekend city break. What city can I explore in just a day or two?
Our top recommendations for travelers with time constraints who are still looking to explore a city's culture, history, and culinary scene are Copenhagen and Dublin. Both cities are slightly humbler in size than other major European metropolises, meaning that while there's still plenty to see and do, many of the main attractions can be seen in a day or two. Their relatively smaller size also makes them more easily accessible by foot and public transit, meaning you can explore at your own pace.
