Stockholm greeted us with sunlight dancing across the water. Built on fourteen islands, the Swedish capital seemed to float between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, connected by elegant bridges, ferries and narrow streets that invited us to keep exploring.

We began in Gamla Stan, the historic heart of the city. Behind its colourful façades, every street seemed to hold a story. We wandered past the Royal Palace, stepped into small design shops and followed cobbled lanes until we reached Stortorget, the city’s oldest square. Sitting outside with coffee and a warm cinnamon bun, we watched Stockholm move around us—calm, stylish and wonderfully unhurried.

From there, we crossed the water to Djurgården. The ferry ride took only a few minutes, yet it felt as if we had left the city behind. Trees, gardens and quiet walking paths surrounded some of Stockholm’s most fascinating museums. At the Vasa Museum, we stood beneath a seventeenth-century warship that sank on its first voyage and was raised from the seabed more than three centuries later. Nearby, the open-air museum of Skansen offered a journey through Swedish history, complete with traditional houses, craftsmen and Nordic animals.

But Stockholm’s charm is not found only in its monuments. It lives in the ritual of fika, in the confidence of Scandinavian design and in the way nature is woven into everyday city life. In Södermalm, vintage stores, creative studios and cosy cafés filled the streets. From the heights of Monteliusvägen, we looked back across the water at the towers and rooftops of Gamla Stan, glowing in the evening light.

Later, we boarded another ferry without checking exactly where it would take us. That is perhaps the best way to experience Stockholm: moving slowly from island to island, letting the water guide you.

As the sun began to set, the city turned golden. Boats passed silently beneath the bridges, locals gathered along the waterfront and the sky reflected perfectly in the harbour. Stockholm felt elegant but never distant, historic yet unmistakably modern.

It is a capital that does not demand your attention. It quietly earns it: one island, one cinnamon bun and one beautiful waterside view at a time.

🏛️ Where History and Creativity Shape the City

Graz is a city of contrasts, where centuries of history coexist with bold contemporary design. Grand palaces, historic theatres and innovative architecture create a cultural landscape unlike any other in Austria.

At the heart of the city stands Schloss Eggenberg, a magnificent Baroque palace surrounded by landscaped gardens and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just a short distance away, the futuristic glass structures of the Botanical Garden showcase Graz's reputation for creativity and innovation, while venues such as the Orpheum continue to play an important role in the city's vibrant cultural scene.

Often overlooked in favour of Austria's larger cities, Graz rewards visitors with a rich blend of heritage, art and architecture, all enjoyed at a relaxed pace.

A city that celebrates both its past and its future.

Some hotels give you a great location. InterContinental Sofia puts some of the city’s most iconic sights right outside your window.

Set on #ParliamentSquare, the hotel overlooks one of Sofia’s most recognisable landmarks: the magnificent Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Government buildings, cultural institutions and the historic heart of the Bulgarian capital are all just a short walk away.

Step outside and Sofia quickly reveals its many layers. Ancient Roman remains sit alongside Orthodox churches, elegant boulevards and grand 19th-century architecture. Nearby, you can explore the National Assembly, the National Art Gallery, the Russian Church and some of the city’s most attractive parks and squares.

And that is what makes #Sofia such an interesting city break: history is everywhere, yet the city still feels relaxed, green and surprisingly easy to explore on foot.

Back at InterContinental Sofia, guests can enjoy elegant rooms and suites, two restaurants, a 24-hour fitness centre and Hexaya Health & Wellness, offering massages, treatments and space to unwind after a day in the city. Some suites even feature terraces with spectacular views towards Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.

The location also makes it easy to continue towards Vitosha Boulevard, Sofia’s lively pedestrian shopping street, where cafés, restaurants and terraces bring a completely different atmosphere to the historic surroundings.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹.𝗲𝘂 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 — an excellent choice for travellers who want luxury, culture and some of Sofia’s most famous landmarks within walking distance.

There is much more to #Brussels than Grand Place and Manneken Pis.

Stay at ibis Brussels Centre Châtelain and you will discover one of the city’s most pleasant neighbourhoods: #Châtelain, in the heart of Ixelles.

This part of Brussels feels different. Think elegant streets lined with Art Nouveau architecture, independent boutiques, galleries, cafés and some of the city’s most popular restaurants and bars. Nearby Avenue Louise adds shopping and big-city energy, while the centre of Brussels remains easily accessible by public transport.

Art and architecture lovers should not miss the nearby Horta Museum, the former home and studio of architect Victor Horta and one of the best places to discover Brussels’ extraordinary Art Nouveau heritage.

Prefer something greener? Parc Tenbosch is just a short stroll from the hotel, while the beautiful Bois de la Cambre offers even more space for walking, running or simply slowing down for an afternoon.

Back at the hotel, ibis Brussels Centre Châtelain offers modern and comfortable rooms, a 24-hour bar and restaurant, and one particularly nice surprise: a hidden green terrace, creating a small urban escape in the middle of Brussels.

It is the kind of location that lets you experience the city like a visitor during the day — and a little more like a local in the evening.

Vienna is famous for its palaces, coffee houses and imperial streets. But there is another way to experience the city: from the banks of the #Danube.

That is exactly where you’ll find Hilton Vienna Waterfront, a Hotel.eu partner hotel set directly on the river and offering a refreshing alternative to staying in the busy historic centre.

Wake up to views over the Danube, take a morning walk or bike ride along the river, or cross over to nearby #DanubeIsland, one of Vienna’s favourite places for outdoor activities, cycling and escaping the city for a few hours.

The hotel itself is made for slowing down. Spacious rooms overlook either Vienna or the river, while OXBO Vienna Waterfront brings dining and drinks right to the water’s edge. In summer, the outdoor riverside pool turns the hotel into something that feels surprisingly close to a city resort.

And when it is time to explore? Vienna is still within easy reach. The Stadion U-Bahn station is around a seven-minute walk away, connecting you quickly with the historic centre. The famous #Prater, with its iconic Giant Ferris Wheel, and Messe Wien are also nearby.

After a day in the city, return to the waterfront, enjoy a drink overlooking the Danube or head to the wellness area with its three saunas — including a panoramic sauna facing the river.

Small country. Big mountains. And far more to discover than skiing.

Between France and Spain, #Andorra is one of those destinations that changes completely with the seasons.

In winter, the Pyrenees become a playground for skiing and snowboarding. In summer, hiking, cycling and mountain lakes take over. And all year round, Andorra combines nature with wellness, gastronomy and some very good shopping.

Hotel.eu currently offers several partner hotels that let you experience a different side of the principality.

Located in Sispony, La Massana, Abba Xalet Suites Hotel is surrounded by Pyrenean scenery and consists of two chalet-style buildings inspired by Provençal architecture.

There is a spa, heated outdoor pool, padel court and plenty of room to simply enjoy the mountains. The La Massana cable car is around 2 km away, giving access to the mountain and ski areas, while Andorra la Vella is only about 4 km away.

Novotel Andorra sits right in the heart of Andorra la Vella, close to Avenida Meritxell and its famous Shopping Mile.

The old quarter, Casa de la Vall and Sant Esteve Church are within easy reach, while the thermal waters of #Caldea are around a 10–15 minute walk away.

The hotel itself is a particularly easy choice for families, with renovated rooms, indoor pool and spa facilities, children's areas and its well-known Gran Bufet restaurant.

𝗥𝗼𝗰 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰 𝗛𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗹 & 𝗦𝗽𝗮 - 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀

And then there is another side of Andorra: thermal wellness.

The iconic Roc Blanc Hotel & Spa sits on Plaça Coprínceps in Escaldes-Engordany, right beside the Shopping Mile and only a few minutes from Caldea.

Its location puts restaurants, shops and city life outside the door, but the real attraction is inside: Roc Blanc has built much of its identity around spa and thermal bathing, making it ideal after a day in the mountains.

And that is perhaps what makes Andorra so interesting.

Ski in the morning.

Shop in the afternoon.

Spend an hour in thermal water.

Have dinner surrounded by the Pyrenees.

Or come in summer and replace the skis with hiking boots or a bicycle. Andorra's official tourism organisation lists more than 100 hiking routes across valleys, nature parks and high-mountain landscapes.

Breakfast overlooking the Mediterranean.
A swim before lunch.
An afternoon exploring the city.
And dinner by the water.

Welcome to #Limassol.

Set directly on the seafront, Crowne Plaza Limassol by IHG offers something particularly appealing: the atmosphere of a beach resort without giving up the energy of one of Cyprus’ liveliest cities.

The hotel has direct beach access, an outdoor pool overlooking the sea, an indoor pool, spa facilities and waterfront restaurants and bars. And because it sits right on Limassol’s coastal promenade, the Mediterranean is never just something you look at from your room.

But don’t spend the entire stay beside the pool.

Follow the coastline towards Limassol Old Town, where narrow streets, restaurants and cafés lead towards the Medieval Castle and the modern #LimassolMarina. The marina has become one of the city’s favourite waterfront areas, combining yachts, restaurants, shops and pedestrian spaces right beside the historic centre.

And Limassol is an excellent starting point for discovering more of #Cyprus.

Go inland and you’ll find traditional villages, vineyards and the foothills of the Troodos Mountains. Head along the coast and ancient sites such as Amathous and Kourion reveal just how far the history of this part of the island reaches. The wider Limassol region is also closely linked to Cyprus’ centuries-old winemaking tradition.

Then come back to the sea.

Have dinner outside, watch the light change over the Mediterranean and realise that this is what makes Limassol such an interesting escape: you can have the beach holiday and the city trip at the same time.

Aarhus has a way of feeling like a big city and a small town at the same time.

Creative, walkable and close to the sea, #Aarhus combines Danish design, food, culture and that unmistakably relaxed Scandinavian atmosphere.

Right in the city centre you’ll find Comwell Aarhus Dolce by Wyndham, a modern design hotel created in collaboration with Danish design brand HAY. Its rooms look out across the city, while Aarhus Central Station is only around five minutes away on foot.

And once you arrive, you hardly need a car.

Walk towards ARoS Aarhus Art Museum and its famous rainbow panorama, continue through the city centre or lose yourself in the cobbled streets of the Latin Quarter, one of the oldest and most atmospheric parts of Aarhus, filled with small shops, cafés and restaurants.

Head in the other direction and Aarhus changes again.

At the waterfront, DOKK1 and the modern architecture of Aarhus Ø show a completely different side of the city — contemporary, ambitious and closely connected to the sea.

Back at the hotel, Restaurant V continues the Danish theme with Nordic-inspired cuisine, seasonal ingredients and a modern, informal atmosphere. The hotel also offers a bar and terrace, fitness facilities, co-working spaces and lounges.

One detail we particularly like? The bar serves more than 30 different gins, with a strong focus on Danish gin and locally brewed beer.

Aalborg may not always be the first city that comes to mind for a Scandinavian getaway.

Maybe that is exactly why you should go.

In the heart of northern Denmark, Comwell Hvide Hus Aalborg – Dolce by Wyndham has been part of the city skyline since 1969. Set beside leafy Kildeparken, it combines views over the park, the city rooftops and the waterfront with a location that makes Aalborg easy to discover on foot.

Step outside and you are only a short walk from the centre.

Spend the morning wandering through Aalborg’s streets, head towards the Limfjord waterfront, explore its cultural side or simply settle into one of the cafés and restaurants that give the city its relaxed Danish atmosphere.

Aalborg is compact, creative and refreshingly easy-going — the kind of place where contemporary architecture, art, green spaces and old streets naturally mix together.

Back at the hotel, every room comes with a balcony overlooking either the Limfjord, Kildeparken or the city. There are 198 rooms, a fitness area, sunny terraces and Restaurant Vesterbro, while the hotel bar is known for its cocktails and views towards the park.

And for perhaps the best perspective of Aalborg, take the elevator higher: the hotel’s 15th-floor Panorama level offers a 360-degree view across the city.

Getting here is easy too. Aalborg Station is only around five minutes away, while Aalborg Airport can be reached in roughly 15 minutes by car.

Some city hotels put you close to the action. Hilton Sofia gives you the city, the park and the mountains all at once.

Located beside #SouthPark and opposite Sofia’s impressive National Palace of Culture, the hotel is an excellent starting point for discovering the Bulgarian capital.

Just a short walk away is #VitoshaBoulevard, Sofia’s best-known pedestrian street, filled with cafés, restaurants, shops and terraces. Continue towards the historic centre and you’ll discover a fascinating mix of Roman remains, Orthodox churches and grand boulevards, with the spectacular Alexander Nevsky Cathedral around two kilometres from the hotel.

And then there is the view.

On clear days, Vitosha Mountain rises behind the city, reminding you that nature is never far away in Sofia. The mountain is one of the things that makes the city so distinctive — offering hiking, viewpoints and an easy escape from urban life.

Back at Hilton Sofia, the atmosphere continues that connection with nature. The hotel features nature-inspired rooms, a spa and fitness centre, while OXBO Restaurant & Terrace focuses on a farm-to-table philosophy and seasonal flavours.

After exploring Sofia, you can return for dinner on the terrace, enjoy a cocktail at the bar or unwind in the spa with its sauna and steam room.

Getting around is easy too. The European Union metro station is next to the hotel, while many of Sofia’s central sights can simply be reached on foot.

Some cities are best discovered on foot. #Brussels is definitely one of them.

And at Novotel Brussels Off Grand Place, you are right in the middle of it all.

Just steps from the magnificent #GrandPlace, the hotel is surrounded by some of the city’s most famous streets, historic buildings, restaurants, chocolate shops and cafés. Brussels Central Station is around the corner, while Manneken Pis, the Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries, Mont des Arts and the Magritte Museum can all be reached within a short walk.

Inside, the 4-star hotel offers spacious and quiet rooms, making it an easy base for both a weekend city break and a business trip. Guests can start the morning with a generous breakfast and return later for Belgian specialities, local beers or a cocktail at the hotel’s Gourmet Bar.

But staying here is really about stepping outside.

Walk across Grand Place early in the morning before the crowds arrive, stop for a Belgian waffle or chocolate along the way, explore the elegant Royal Galleries, and continue uphill towards Mont des Arts and Brussels’ Royal Quarter.

And of course, no stay in Brussels is complete without discovering one of the things Belgium does particularly well: beer, fries, chocolate and good food.

Thanks to Brussels Central Station being just moments away, the hotel is also extremely convenient for travellers arriving by train — and Brussels Airport can be reached directly by rail.

Hilton Vienna Park: Stay in the Heart of Vienna

Some hotels are simply a place to sleep. Hilton Vienna Park is a great base for discovering Vienna.

Located directly beside the beautiful Stadtpark, the hotel puts you within walking distance of many of the Austrian capital’s highlights. St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the famous Kärntner Straße shopping street, the Spanish Riding School and the colourful Hundertwasser House are all around 800 metres away.

Inside, Hilton Vienna Park combines contemporary comfort with a design inspired by Viennese Modernism and the Secession movement. Guests can enjoy spacious rooms, a fitness centre, the LENZ restaurant serving Austrian cuisine with a modern touch, Selleny’s bar and an impressive Executive Lounge overlooking the city.

But the real attraction is Vienna itself. Start your morning with a walk through Stadtpark and its famous golden Johann Strauss monument, spend the afternoon exploring Vienna’s historic centre, cafés, museums and elegant streets, and finish the day over dinner or cocktails back at the hotel.

Travelling is easy too: public transport is just around the corner, while the direct City Airport Train connects the area with Vienna International Airport.

Hilton Vienna Park is a Hotel.eu partner hotel, an excellent choice for travellers looking for comfort, location and one of Europe’s most fascinating cities right outside the door.

🌉 An Icon of Modern Graz

Floating on the River Mur, the Murinsel has become one of Graz's most recognisable landmarks. Part bridge, part public space and part architectural statement, its striking design offers a fascinating contrast to the city's historic streets and red-tiled rooftops.

Created as a symbol of Graz's year as European Capital of Culture, the structure reflects the city's creative spirit and forward-thinking character. By day, its glass and steel surface catches the light above the river. By night, it becomes an illuminated focal point in the heart of the city.

Graz is often celebrated for its Renaissance courtyards, charming squares and vibrant café culture, yet places like the Murinsel reveal another side of the city, one where contemporary architecture sits comfortably alongside centuries of history.

A reminder that some of Europe's most interesting cities continue to evolve while remaining true to their heritage.

La Petite Boîte – The stylish way to cut food waste

In Monaco, evenings are made for eating out. A table in Monaco-Ville. A view. A slow walk after dinner. And then, at the end of the meal, a small familiar moment: something is still on the plate. Not because it wasn’t good – because it was too much to finish. 

La Petite Boîte was created for that moment. Instead of leaving food behind, participating restaurants offer an attractive takeaway box so guests can bring leftovers with them and enjoy them later. The initiative also includes a solution for unfinished bottles, so good products are not wasted. 

Launched by the Municipality of Monaco, the project was introduced across restaurants, with a strong focus on Le Rocher, one of the most visited areas, where many travellers eat after sightseeing. This is where the idea is seen, used, and remembered. 

The project works because it is easy. No big changes. Just one simple question at the end of the meal, and a better ending for the food. 

And tourism is central. Visitors make the model possible: when travellers request La Petite Boîte, restaurants keep ordering it, keep offering it, and keep the habit normal. One request is small. Repeated across thousands of meals, it becomes part of the Monaco dining experience and a small habit that can travel home too.

🦒 A Wild Adventure in the Heart of Valencia

Just minutes from Valencia's historic centre lies one of Europe's most innovative wildlife parks: Bioparc Valencia. Designed around the concept of "zoo immersion", visitors step directly into carefully recreated African landscapes where animals roam in naturalistic habitats without visible barriers.

From majestic elephants and towering giraffes to lush wetlands, waterfalls and baobab-inspired scenery, Bioparc offers an unforgettable experience for families, nature lovers and curious explorers alike. It feels less like visiting a zoo and more like embarking on an African safari in the middle of Spain.

After exploring Bioparc, visitors can enjoy traditional Valencian cuisine, stroll through vibrant neighbourhoods and discover the city's unique blend of historic landmarks and contemporary architecture. The park itself reflects Valencia's commitment to sustainability, education and innovative tourism experiences.

Stay at SH Valencia Palace, an elegant five-star hotel overlooking the famous Turia Gardens. Guests enjoy spacious rooms, a rooftop pool and easy access to Valencia's cultural attractions, making it an excellent base for both family adventures and city exploration.

📍 Recognisable landmarks:

• Bioparc Valencia
• Turia Gardens (Jardín del Turia)
• City of Arts and Sciences
• Valencia Cathedral
• Torres de Serranos
• Plaza de la Virgen

Slowdown – Amiens seen at water pace

In Amiens, there is a place where the city suddenly feels quiet. A narrow canal. A wooden boat. Green islands of gardens drifting past. This is the hortillonnages: the floating gardens that have shaped Amiens for centuries. SLOWDOWN was created to help visitors experience this side of the city without rushing, and to make “slower” travel feel natural and attractive. 

The idea is simple: change the pace, change the visit. SLOWDOWN builds experiences around gentle mobility and local discovery, especially by water, connecting travellers to landscapes, stories and everyday life that are often missed on a standard city break. It also helps spread visitor flows across different routes and times of year, so the experience feels calmer for guests and more manageable for the destination. 

What makes it a best practice is how it links tourism and place. The project brings partners together, supports local operators, and creates a clear, shared way to invite people to explore responsibly, without turning it into a lecture. It keeps the focus on the feeling: quieter, closer, more real. 

And visitors are key part of the engine. This model runs on choice: when travellers book a slow boat trip, follow these routes, and use local services, they sustain the businesses behind the experience and help keep coordination and quality in place. In the end, a calmer visit becomes something that lasts, for visitors, and for Amiens.

CopenPay – Small actions, city rewards

In Copenhagen, many visitors want to do the right thing, but they don’t always know how. CopenPay starts with a simple twist: the city asks for action, not money. People can “pay” by doing something positive, like picking up litter, choosing low-impact transport, or joining a community event. In return, they receive access to local experiences, treats, or cultural activities.

This creates a different kind of city break. It turns everyday choices into a shared moment between guests and locals. It brings people into parks, streets and neighbourhoods, not just the famous sights. It also makes visitors feel part of the place, even for a short stay.

CopenPay has already reached scale. More than 25,000 people have taken part, with 98% satisfaction. Many don’t stop at one action. Around 7 out of 10 participants reported changing habits afterwards, for example, cycling more or reducing food waste.

What makes it a best practice is that it is fun, easy, and visible. It rewards responsible travel. It shows that tourism can leave a city better than it found it, through small actions repeated many times.

And tourism is the engine. Travellers helps create the impact, and the more people take part, the more the city can offer back.
