This week Julia heads for Budapest in search of adventure and culture. Only a two-hour flight away, Budapest is the perfect choice for a more challenging and quirky city break.
Once the capital city of Morocco, Fez is awash with bustling markets. Toby will go in search of a few bargains, and explore (or rather get lost in) this beautiful old city.
With a population of just 300,000, Iceland is the most sparsely populated country in Europe, and over half the natives reside in its capital of Reykjavík.
Julie Bradbury goes shopping in a giant former squat, takes in a cabaret, samples the city's latest craze - the ping pong bar and relaxes in a sauna and discovers just how uninhibited the Germans can be.
Julia Bradbury goes in search of the perfect beach and is disappointed at the commercialism of The Beach. She instead goes swimming with sea gypsies of Koh Phi Phi and discovers there are still some unspoilt experiences out there.
In Southern Italy, the Amalfi Coast is a 28-mile winding narrow route of dramatic coastline that's home to some of the most beautiful towns and stunning panoramas in Europe. Julia's flown three hours to Naples, the starting point for her journey.
It's a holiday of firsts for Julia, as she tries out at water skiing with her trusty instructor Reg. She then sets off for rural Tenerife, and her very first paraglide attempt.
With its romantic canals and charming St Mark's Square, it's easy to see why Venice is a hugely popular destination. All of this usually comes at a rather hefty cost, but the resourceful Julia set out to discover the city's less pricey delights.
Dublin has been transformed in recent years following its economic boom. Easy to get to, and with bars and shops aplenty, Julia couldn't resist a trip back to her old home town.
Finding a holiday off the beaten track doesn't have to involve trekking long distances. And this week Julia found a city refreshingly free of tourists in the traditional haven of British tourists: Spain.
Julia relaxes in the resort's open air pool, and even though the surrounding scenery is breathtaking, but Morgan's Rock has a lot more to offer than beautiful views
Next door to Dubai, Oman is a country steeped in history and traditional ways of life while remaining friendly to Western visitors. Its old capital of Nizwa lies at a strategic crossroads between ancient trade routes, and while Julia's appreciative of its castle and bustling souq market, it's adventure that's on her mind.
Toby hunts for paradise off the east coast of Africa where the warm and welcoming island of Mauritius is a popular destination for honeymooners. He can hardly believe the treatment he receives at his five star hotel where he is surrounded by luxury, opulence, and beautiful beaches.
Just under four hours away, Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents, Asia and Europe. It also has the youngest population of any European city.
Maroantsetra is the gateway to the Masoala peninsula, Madagascar's largest national park, and is a showcase for Madagascar's unique animal and plant life not found anywhere else in the world.
This week Toby pulls up his flight socks and settled down for the twelve hour journey to Bangkok. The city is an extraordinary mixture of past and present, and Toby rates it as one of the most exciting cities he's ever been to.
