City trips
City trips are one of my favorite ways to travel. Firstly because there are so many beautiful cities and secondly because you can experience so much in a short time. In recent years we have particularly taken a liking to extended weekend trips to cities in Germany - in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg alone there are so many cute cities that are really worth investing 2-3 days in: for example the festival city of Bayreuth. Even if you look a little beyond Germany's borders, there are great options for a short or longer city trip: I also love the Austrian capital Vienna. Or of course the city of love: Paris is always worth a trip.
