Bratislava, Slovakia Tui’s new packages from Edinburgh, Manchester and Stansted use Ryanair flights to Bratislava, one of Europe’s most charming under-the-radar cities. Straddling the Danube with a backdrop of forested hills and vineyards, the Slovak capital’s narrow lanes boast a rich blend of Gothic, baroque and communist-era influences. Clients can explore the hilltop Bratislava Castle, tour the grand Slovak National Theatre (pictured), sample local wines or enjoy one of the city’s famously affordable pints. The UFO Observation Deck is a saucer-
shaped viewpoint over the Danube, offering panoramic views and fine dining. Book it: Tui sells a five-night stay at Mamaison Residence Šulekova Bratislava from £378 per person, based on two adults sharing a one-bedroom studio. The holiday includes Ryanair flights, with hand luggage, from Edinburgh, departing September 14.

Stuttgart, Germany If you have car enthusiasts among your clients, Stuttgart is worth getting up to speed on – and it’s now easier to access thanks to Eurowings’ new direct route from Gatwick, which operates until October 23. The German city is the manufacturing hub for Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, both of which have dedicated museums offering a front-seat view of their early history. Visitors can also admire works by Picasso and Kandinsky at the Staatsgalerie, before exploring leafy beer gardens, the neoclassical Rosenstein Palace and a market hall known for Swabian
sausages and regional wines. Book it: Fred Holidays offers four nights’ B&B at the Park Inn by Radisson Stuttgart from £849 per person, based on two adults sharing a standard room. The package includes entrance to the Mercedes- Benz Museum and Porsche Museum, 23kg luggage and Eurowings flights from Gatwick departing October 5.

Tivat, Montenegro Overlooking the Bay of Kotor at the point where the jagged Dinaric Alps meet the Adriatic Sea, Tivat is the perfect hub for coastal and mountain adventures – and British Airways has launched a route from Heathrow this month. The pine-lined promenade of nearby Porto Montenegro is a succession of superyachts, boutiques and konobas (traditional tavernas) serving hearty meat and fish dishes, while in historic Kotor, shaded streets reveal fortified summer residences once frequented by the Venetian elite. Boat trips from Perast take clients to tiny Saint George Island, home to a Benedictine monastery, as well as nearby Our Lady of the Rocks, where
a marble church and lighthouse rise dramatically from the water. Book it: Cyplon Holidays offers seven nights’ B&B at the Regent Porto Montenegro Hotel from £2,395 per person, based on two adults sharing a King Studio Suite with Balcony. The price includes 23kg luggage allowance and British Airways flights from Heathrow on September 17.
