The Isle of Beauty lives up to its name: from the white cliffs of Bonifacio to the red calanques of Piana, Corsica packs in landscapes the mainland can only envy. You swim in the translucent water of Palombaggia in the morning, hike beneath the Aiguilles de Bavella in the afternoon and dine on charcuterie and brocciu in a mountain village in the evening. A mountain in the sea, quite literally.

🌡️ 30 °C in the afternoon, 5 days of rain, sea at 26 °C · 💶 €50-90 a day
A hundred and twenty kilometres of Ionian coast between the Llogara Pass, at 1,027 metres, and the islets of Ksamil facing Corfu. White pebble beaches at the foot of the Ceraunian Mountains, a castle of Ali Pasha on a peninsula and the ancient city of Butrint, a World Heritage Site since 1992.

🌡️ 28 °C in the afternoon, 9 days of rain · 💶 €90-150 a day

Countries5 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
🌡️ 22 °C in the afternoon, 11 days of rain · 💶 €100-160 a day
The United Kingdom means London and its free museums, the castles of Wales, and the Scottish Highlands where the road runs between lochs and mist. From metropolis to wide open spaces in a few hours by train.
Countries6 🇸🇮 Slovenia
🌡️ 28 °C in the afternoon, 11 days of rain · 💶 €70-120 a day
Slovenia means Lake Bled and its island with a bell tower, Vintgar Gorge on wooden walkways, and Ljubljana with its pedestrian bridges. A little green gem, from the Alps to Postojna Cave.
Countries7 🇩🇪 Germany
🌡️ 25 °C in the afternoon, 12 days of rain · 💶 €80-130 a day
Germany means Neuschwanstein Castle straight out of a fairy tale, Berlin with its raw memory, and the Black Forest and its firs. And in December, Christmas markets in almost every town.
City8 🇲🇦 Essaouira
🌡️ 26 °C in the afternoon, 0 days of rain, sea at 18 °C · 💶 €40-70 a day
Essaouira is wind-battered ramparts, a blue port full of fishing boats and a bohemian medina where Gnawa music fills the air. Morocco's laid-back seaside town, beloved of kitesurfers.
Countries9 🏰 Prague, Vienna and Budapest
🌡️ 26 °C in the afternoon, 12 days of rain · 💶 €80-130 a day
Central Europe means Prague's Charles Bridge at dawn, Viennese cafés and Schönbrunn Palace, and the thermal baths of Budapest. Three baroque capitals linked by a few hours on the train, magical in December.

Fourteen islands linked by 57 bridges, between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic, with the ochre façades of Gamla Stan at the centre, the 1628 warship Vasa in its museum and the 30,000 islands of the archipelago an hour away by boat.

City12 🇨🇭 Geneva
🌡️ 27 °C in the afternoon, 10 days of rain · 💶 €170-280 a day
Geneva fits into a few square kilometres wedged between the tip of Lake Geneva, the Jura and the Salève, with a stony Old Town on one side and the district of the international organisations on the other. The real issue of the trip is not distance but price, because it is one of the most expensive cities in the world and the French border is ten minutes away by tram.
