The Travel Maximiser

Choosing the perfect destination for a weekend getaway can be challenging with endless cities and destinations to choose from.

However, not all are ideal for a short escape. For instance, I would avoid destinations more than four hours away by flight, as travel time eats into your precious weekend. Similarly, some cities are too vast or packed with attractions to fully experience in just two days.

Here, I share my top recommendations for destinations that I believe are just perfect for a weekend. These spots are within a short flight and offer just the right balance—you can explore their highlights comfortably in two days without feeling rushed!
