Bordeaux
France’s wine capital is a great alternative to Lyon or Paris if you’ve already seen the touristy sites. See Bordeaux’ bridges via boat. Experience the art and foodie scenes. More importantly, enjoy a wine tour of a vineyard and learn about the best wines and aging tools.
Brno
Looking to avoid the crowds in Prague? The second-largest city in the Czech Republic is at least as affordable as and features historic cathedrals, worthwhile architecture, an interesting underground network of more than 1,000 cave, and some cool cafes and drinking spots to boot.
