With its pastel-hued, 17th-century merchants’ houses, Nyhavn is Copenhagen at its picture-postcard finest. And yes, it’s a tourist trap – but it’s a gorgeous one and well worth visiting if only to get the obligatory shot of its brightly coloured houses (three of which were once home to fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen).

There are plenty of great burgers found in Berlin, but none are quite as iconic as Burgermeister’s. This joint first opened in a former public toilet outside the Schlesisches Tor U-Bahn station and, as a testament to its success, has now expanded to eight locations across the city. The menu is refreshingly simple, the cheesy fries as comforting as comfort food gets, and the mouth-watering vegan burger nothing like your token veggie option. Click to discover the best places to eat in Berlin.
Even though it’s mostly behind fences nowawadays, visiting the outdoor East Side Gallery is still a rite of passage when visiting Berlin (especially if it’s for the first time). It’s 1316 metres long, and you’ll spend about an hour there, and the most famous of the lot is the one you’ve probably seen on Instagram: the Berlin Wall Kiss, featuring socialist state leaders Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker. Click to discover more of the best things to do in Berlin.
Going to the Jewish Museum can make for a challenging, and full-on experience, but a visit here should certainly be high on your things to visit in Berlin. Since 2001, the museum has showcased the vast experiences of the Jewish people, both their past and present, covering everything from the documentation of Jewish German families to Jewish history from the Middle Ages to today. Admission to the core exhibition is free. Click to discover more of the best things to do in Berlin.

Click to discover more hidden gems in Prague.
Though Prague has no shortage of viewpoints and photo-worthy panoramas, the tourist crowds can get a bit annoying. If you’re the type of traveller who likes a little breathing room, head over to Vyšehrad. The hillside views are a bonus on top of its parks sprinkled with statues, a peaceful cemetery, an eye-catching cathedral, and one of the city’s best beer gardens.

An Amsterdam East institution, this tasting room in an old bathhouse at the base of Amsterdam’s largest windmill serves Belgian-inspired beers, brewed on-site for over 30 years. You’ll find Brouwerij ’t IJ’s beers on menus all over town, but it’s worth visiting the original outpost for a tour, a tasting flight, or to soak up the sun on the large terrace with the windmill overhead.
This is Amsterdam’s most iconic coffeeshop, largely owed to welcoming some seriously star-studded guests over the years (notorious cannabis lovers Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg, to name a few). Grey Area was founded by two guys from the US who are passionate about all things marijuana, and its selection is extensive. This is a small, intimate, and a must-try experience in Amsterdam.
Named after writer Charles Bukowski, this neighbourhood hangout near Oosterpark is dedicated to liquor and literature. The former appears in classic, no-tricks cocktails and a well-rounded beer list, while the latter is embodied in a typewriter-inspired light installation above the bar and plenty of Bukowski quotes on the menu.

If you’re looking for green space but want to skip the crowds, there are more gardens to wander in Florence than just the jam-packed Boboli. Once a private garden, today you can stroll the paths of Bardini, which boasts epic views of the city below. If you’re lucky and visiting during April, the magnificent purple wisteria arch is in bloom. Even better, you’ll find the same view over the city at the top of the baroque staircase, where you can enjoy a glass of wine at the beautiful little bar. The Bardini has two entrances, one in the San Niccolò neighbourhood just past the Ponte alle Grazie and the other up on Costa San Giorgio. Photograph: Phoebe Hunt
If you fancy a glass of Franciacorta from Florence's oldest winemaker with a side of truffle, Procacci is the place for you. Truffles are a particularly prized Tuscan food item and in this elegant 19th-century salon on the glamorous Via Tornabouni, you’ll find shelves filled with truffle products to take home alongside bite-sized pieces of truffle-infused snacks and finger sandwiches layered in truffle cream, the perfect accompaniment to your wine of choice from an extensive menu from the Antinori cellars.

In addition to art, banking and political intrigue, Renaissance Florence was famous for its leatherwork. That tradition survives today, everywhere from the San Lorenzo street stalls to the high-end shops. If you’re set on picking up a new belt or a pair of gloves, you can head to the leather school behind Santa Croce church or find Massimo Leather for jackets and La Pelletteria Artigiana Viviani for handbags.
