Open onto the sea, the city is protected from the winds by its hills, then, to the west, by the Estérel mountains and the Northwest by the barrier of the Mercantour Alps. The climate is always mild in winter and never too hot in summer, thanks to the sea breeze. You can often lunch on a terrace with no more than a T-shirt in February when the rest of France is shivering in the cold.

During the Industrial Revolution Manchester became the focal point of the northern cotton trade. Inventions like Hargreaves' Spinning Jenny and Arkwright's water frame changed the face of the world and Manchester was at the forefront of that of the technologically advancement of the 18th century.

Krakow is mostly cultural and historical place with famous Krakow tourist attraction Wawel Royal Castle. In the beautiful Old Town area you'll find numerous landmarks, museums, art galleries, music venues, theatres, university colleges, etc. on top of myriad boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.

Amsterdam
Amsterdam is often referred to as one of the most colourful cities in the world. And rightly so! Where else do you find so many places of interest, famous museums, cosy pubs and fun shops and (flower) markets?
Amsterdam is one of the world's best hangouts, a canny blend of old and new: radical squatter art installations hang off 17th-century eaves, BMWs give way to bicycles and triple-strength monk-made beer is served in steel and glass 'grand cafés'.
Barcelona
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is located on the coast and bounded by the Collserola ridge and rivers Besós and Llobregat. The city is less than 150 kilometres from the Pyrenees. Barcelona's location on the shores of the Mediterranean means that it enjoys a warm, welcoming climate and pleasant temperatures all year round.
Between the Barcelona district and The River Besos, the city has over four kilometres of perfectly equipped beaches which are frequented by its residents during most of the years. Barcelona also has an Olympic harbour which provides excellent conditions for water sports.

There's far more to Mallorca than the holy triumvirate of sun, sea and sand. Fight your way past the army of tan-seeking tourists, and you'll discover Gothic architecture, hilltop villages, olive groves and hidden beaches. If you're after something a bit crazier, there are 24-hour parties galore.
Roma
It's hard to say what you'll find most breathtaking about the eternal city - the arrogant opulence of the Vatican, the timelessness of the Forum, the top speed of a Fiat Bambino, the millions of cats in the Colosseum, trying to cross a major intersection, or the bill for your latte.
When in Rome make like the locals and souse your senses in the glut of pleasures the city has to offer, from the grandiose thrill of feeling centuries of turbulent history under your feet to the small but potent intoxication of eating chestnut gelati on a hot day.
Warsaw
Many people still have an image of Warsaw as a dull concrete jungle, a wasteland of Soviet-era housing with little appeal. The city does undoubtedly have its fair share of problems and whole swathes of its suburbs are indeed dominated by the less-than-imaginative creations of communist-era architects. But there is far more to one of Europe's most underrated cities, with a string of things to see, an impressive cultural scene and an increasingly lively nightlife. Warsaw is a real survivor - the city's current day existence is impressive in itself.
Budapest
