Sir Sid beat me to it. Florence is glorious. I went to Rome also and can highly reccomend the Vatican City etc. Florence is a lot prettier though.

Depending on how long your 'long weekend' is, you might be able to see Florence and Pisa. We flew in to Pisa and then got the train over to Florence. They're fairly close - about 55 miles apart. If you've got four days, then how about two days in each, or even a day trip to Pisa from Florence?

Why do we call it Florence? It's not Florence, it's Firenze.

(Pisa is due west of Florence, near the coast)

Florence ain't cheap to get to if you want to fly direct It's my fave place on earth and I've said I'll only go back there with someone worth going with....

If you're stuck for options and driven by price, get thee to www.skyscanner.net
It organises flights by date and price, so you can see what destinations are coming up cheapest. And they list all the budget airlines.

I did Granada return from Stansted for £25 in April. That's quite a nice place too...

Krakow - I didn't like it. Pisa - you'll have seen it all in half an hour. Turin - never been. Now how about Bologna, there's a motorbike factory there and you can go on guided tours :P :P :P

Warsaw is terrific. Although the town was flattened in 1944-5, it was rebuilt as was, and the 'Old Town' is fabulous. Busy, and hot in summer.

Else - Bordeaux is really nice, different too. St Emilion (beautiful, simply perfect) only half an hour up the road. Would deffo appeal to a wine snob
