With summer holidays behind us, now's the perfect time to escape for a city break. Whether it's a gastronomic getaway in Copenhagen, browsing the vintage stores of Lisbon or getting lost in the twisting, medieval lanes of Carcassonne, we'd love to hear about your favourite destinations in Europe for a short break. The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet wins a 200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property the company has more than 3,000 worldwide.
