Yes, it's easier to jet to Europe for the weekend when home base is England, but American travelers can build an admirable itinerary with help from 101 Weekends in Europe. Highlighting some of the continent's "less obvious destinations" (Antwerp, Biarritz, Dubrovnik, Seville, Cork) as well as more popular cities (London, Venice, Oslo), this travel guide offers capsule summaries of cities from Austria to the United Kingdom that focus less on specific sightseeing spots and more on each city's overall personality or cultural significance. Whether you're building a week-long, multi-city itinerary or you're lucky enough to snag a last-minute, low-cost fare across the Pond, you'll be all set for where to go and what to do. Just grab your passport and go!
