The skyline of Vilinus filled with churches, museums and historical sites
Eastern Europe is your best bet for a good value city break; the cost of living is much less than the UK – you can get a beer for the equivalent of £1 or less and a meal for under a tenner.
But, if you've walked over Charles Bridge in Prague and explored Buda Castle in Budapest; where next? How about Vilnius in Lithuania.
The country's capital has Europe's largest baroque old town at its heart with a skyline of 40 churches, cobbled alleys and traditional artists' workshops.

It even has its own breakaway republic, Uzupis, a bohemian quarter with original street art and quirky pubs alongside modern cocktail bars and art galleries.
There are beautiful churches, parks, museums and historical sites to visit, including Gediminas' Tower.
Climb to this last remaining part of the city's castle and you'll be rewarded with incredible views of the town below and if you want to go in – it only costs a few euros more.
Or why not check out the view from Vilnius University's St. Johns' Church Bell Tower – there's a glass lift, if you don't want to take the stairs – or visit the Gothic Cathedral, that Napoleon wanted to take back with him to Paris.
Flights from London Stansted on Sept 18 for two nights at the 3* Green Vilnius Hotel in the city centre start at just £61pp.
2. Sofia, Bulgaria from £67

Why not visit the Russian church Saint Nikolay Temple in Sofia
Bulgaria always comes up trumps for value. The average price of a three-course meal for two with wine in the country comes in at around £22.
Sofia, the capital, is vibrant day and night and an easy city to explore on foot.
There's loads of great street art plus lovely parks like the Borislova Gradina Park as well as incredible architecture like the Aleksander Nevski Cathedral and Sveta Sofia church after which the city takes its name.

Sofia is surrounded by mountains – perfect for outdoor enthusiasts
Alternatively, resorts in the mountains offer everything from hiking, mountain biking to kayaking and climbing.
Or why not do both; take a day trip to the Vitosha mountain range on bus 66 in less than an hour from Sofia, where you can walk, mountain bike and climb.
Three nights in the Bulgarian mountains at the 48 Persey Flora Apartments in Borovets for two departing September 30 from London is just 95pp. Two nights at the 3 star Scotty's Boutique, including breakfast, departing London Luton is just £67 per person

Paris comes alive in the summer and the good news is, it's now cheaper than ever
With Parisians back from their summers away, the Paris cultural season begins from September onwards, with a stellar line-up of ballet, opera, dance and theatre events.

The cocktails are good too!

The view of Charles Bridge spanning the river Vltava in Prague
Prague is the most popular Eastern European city for tourists and it's not hard to see why.
Despite becoming a tourist mecca and up there in popularity with Rome and Amsterdam, it's still one of the cheapest European destinations.
The city of a thousand spires offers endless culture and history.
As for a beer, it will set you back about £1.15 for a pint, which will make you say 'Na Zdravi' (to your health!)

Prague has all the beauty of Paris but with beers for just over £1
What's more, the improving exchange rate makes it a savvy choice.
Head to the 9th century Prague Castle and watch the guards changing on the hour – get there early to avoid the crowds.
The views from the summit of Petrin Hill are unmissable – walk up or take the funicular railway for about £1 if you want to save your feet.

The city breaks in Europe that start from £61 per person INCLUDING flights
At the end of last year I made a decision to book a handful of weekend getaways as something to look forward to, and The Fuzzy Duck was top of my list; only a two hour drive from central London and on the edge of the Cotswolds, it embodies this new generation of British country pub getaways and provides the perfect excuse to spend a few days away from city life. If you've yet to book yourself a little summer excursion, haven't the time to fly off somewhere exotic, or even if you've got kids and school holidays to contend with, here's why I'm such a fan of the country pub escape - and The Fuzzy Duck in particular. THE QUAINT SURROUNDINGS Having lived in London for so long, I crave the countryside and greenery like it's going out of style. I adore tranquil cottages and little country roads, and the feeling that you're driving into the middle of nowhere (even if phone reception is non-existent.) Everything is so much prettier in the countryside, and the surroundings of The Fuzzy Duck are absolutely beautiful; even though it's a relatively new building with all the mod-cons, the surrounding buildings wouldn't look out of place in a Beatrix Potter book. You can tell that the pub is the hub of the small town, but with so many walks and places to explore there's a way to burn off that over-indulgent lunch. (Or you could just sit in the huge beer garden and take in the sunshine!) 
THE QUIRKY DETAILS It's the little things that make all the difference, and country pubs tend to have more personality than most hotel stops thanks to the people behind them; you can tell there's love and passion in everything they do, and a real thought for their guests. At The Fuzzy Duck they have everything covered you could ever ask for: from wellies on loan if you want to wander the fields, to weather forecasts behind the bar and complementary sun cream in the garden to keep you safe, with even bespoke menus and locally sourced ingredients so you know you'll be eating fresh. With so many things to make you smile, you'll feel like you're experiencing a little bit of luxury without having to pay for it. 
THE COSY INTERIORS There's nothing better than a cosy country pub; whether it's on a chilly winter's day where all you want to do is warm your tootsies by the open fire, or during a sunny spell and you just want Pimms on tap for the whole afternoon, they've got you covered. What I loved about The Fuzzy Duck is the fact they mix the modern and new with the classic and old, sprinkling in everything from a bookshelf of country knowledge and a wine cellar with every type of tipple imaginable. There are blankets available for when you get a bit chilly too, meaning you don't even have to move from your spot when the sun goes down!
THE FOOD & DRINK Pub grub is my favourite; there's something so satisfying about properly made comfort food that's got more taste and texture than anything you'd get from a chain restaurant. Whether you want a small bite, a massive plate of fish and chips or a locally created special (I recommend the scotch egg!) there's something to tickle your tastebuds. And my favourite discovery: rhubarb gin mixed with elderflower tonic, topped off with a selection of berries. Incredible. Even the breakfast is fabulous, with options including the most delicious eggs I've ever eaten, a full English, fruit and granola, cereals, pastries, freshly baked bread and beautifully brewed coffee on tap too. 
THE LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION Although you won't be spending much time in your room when there's so much going on downstairs, the accommodation in this new wave of luxury pubs is anything but stingy. The space itself is quite small due to the limitations of such a compact location, but the features are quite extravagant and make you feel like you're in a five star hotel - not in the middle of the country. I adore the free-standing bath and vintage style decor, as well as the cosiest bed ever and more pillows than a girl could ever need. The only downside is there's no air con, but when you can open your window and listen to the sound of the great outdoors you can't really complain. So if you're in need of a little summertime break, or simply want to get something in the diary to look forward to, why not consider a countryside getaway rather than faffing around with airport queues and transfers? It's affordable, flexible, easy to get to and offers so much more value for your buck. Are you a fan of staycationing? Do you have any fave country pub hotels you think I should visit?
