  • Thinking about places for a long weekend away in mid October. Went to Lisbon at the same time of year a couple of years ago and loved it.
    Requirements are: easy to get to from London, relatively inexpensive, vegan friendly, stuff to do and see (we're not beach holiday people).
    Any left field suggestions?

  • I’d say vegan-friendly probably limits you to the big cities. Does it have to be abroad? How about Edinburgh? Otherwise, can’t go wrong with Barcelona, Berlin or Amsterdam. Stockholm is great but on the expensive side.

  • Any left field suggestions?

    Slough.

  • easy to get to from London

    30 minutes from Paddington

    relatively inexpensive

    Since it isn't fit for humans now, it's cheap

    vegan friendly

    Mostly south Asian, but the central European and Mediterranean places have vegan options too

    stuff to do and see

    More than enough to fill a weekend without even crossing the river, but Windsor is right there if you must

  • Valencia does vegan 👍

  • Antwerp or Ghent.

  • Granada or Seville

  • Any left field suggestions?

    Time was, I'd have said Addis Ababa (Ethiopia is incredibly vegan friendly) but these days it's so unsafe it's out-field. So...

    Poland. Seriously. Krakow is beautiful (and there are other good choices) and Poland is definitely "relatively inexpensive" by European standards..

  • Seville.

    You might want to research vegan. But 10yrs ago it was fine for veggies. We really loved it. Hot. Lovely river. Compact. Loads of interesting history and art stuff. Up there as one of the best city break spots Imo, very underrated.

    Granada is another good shout. Colder (but not cold in the day). More alternative vibe, so probably better odds of vegan. Again lots of cool stuff. Probably a bit noisier over the weekend you you might want to double check accommodation location for that sort of thing.

    Both really good value, beautiful, and a good change from UK grimness.

    Edit: misread your previous post. If you haven't been to Barcelona, then you definitely should. More expensive than the above, but probably ahead in a list of which to see.

  • Having been to both a few times I'd much favour Valencia over Barcelona.

    I'd also say Budapest which my Hungarian friend says is pretty vegan friendly .

  • Helsinki

  • Turin or Gent
