The Vistula River fl ows through the city of Kraków

These super-cool cities are just as romantic as Paris

This pretty city in southern Poland has a brilliant food scene, beautiful buildings and a whole load of history. Spend a day wandering through the Old Town before taking a trip to the nearby Wieliczka and Bochnia salt mines. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, these mines are some of the oldest in the world and were carved, astonishingly, by hand. While they may not seem like the most romantic of places, the eerie chambers, lit by grand chandeliers, are pretty special. For lunch, stop off at Café Camelot, with its squeaky Kraków, Poland

fl oorboards and tiny tables. It’s super cosy and there’s an antique shop upstairs.

In the evening, head to CK Browar – it’s one of the best restaurants in the city and even has its own brewery. Try traditional Polish dishes, like pork knuckle (sounds weird, but it tastes amazing) and delicious meat stews for under £10. The brewed beer samplers in mini glass tankards or the hazelnut vodka are the drinks to order. Book one of the 16 rooms at The Bonerowski Palace Hotel, right on the market square. Doubles are priced at £126 per night.

TIMIŞOARA, ROMANIA Timișoara, the third largest city in Romania, may not seem like the ideal weekend destination, but its under-theradar status means it’s not touristy at all. As well as practically having the city to yourself, you won’t spend a fortune and it’s fi lled with grand buildings, all painted in a diff erent pastel shade. There’s lots of art too – head to the Museum of Art, the cool Calina Gallery or hunt for street art and sculptures. Whether you’re after hearty, meaty dishes to fi ll you up after a day of sightseeing, delicious vegetarian or vegan food or a plate of incredibly good Vietnamese, Timișoara has it all. Try Casa Bunicii for typical Romanian dishes or Restaurant Merlot, if you
