For a weekend in the Swedish capital, you wander through the medieval alleys of the Gamla Stan district before taking refuge in a café to enjoy a traditional cinnamon roll (cannelbullar). With the crossing of the archipelago by boat, Stockholm deserves its nickname of Venice of the North.

Leave Madrid and Barcelona, for a city further south and even warmer … The Andalusian capital is full of sun terraces, tapas bars and architectural treasures, inherited from its Arab past. The weather is mild all year round, so you can even have a picnic alone in the park of María Luisa.

Prague is probably one of the most romantic capitals in Europe. With its legendary horizon, its baroque churches, its mist and its castle a bit disturbing, we take advantage of the many cafés in the city to warm up with a hot chocolate with some cukroví (short biscuits) . Unless you crack for a Czech garnet jewel?

Beautiful fairy destination for a weekend to two, Copenhagen breathes conviviality. We stroll in Nyhavn neighborhood, we salute “The Little Mermaid” who watches over visitors, and we find his child’s soul at Tivoli Park before being tempted by a Smørrebrød (the traditional Danish lunch) at the indoor market from Torvehallerne.
