Fans of the sweet stuff need look no further for an Easter short break than Bruges. So renowned is the canal-side city for its chocolate that there’s even a museum dedicated entirely to it (with lots of free samples!) as well as plenty of atmospheric cafés and pretty shops selling all manner of chocolate treats. A four-night trip over Easter costs from £420 pp (two sharing) including return Eurostar to Brussels, onward rail travel to/from Bruges and four nights’ B&B in a centrally-situated hotel.

He answered questions from  viewers about travelling on the Trans-Siberian route, about the cost benefits of pre-booking European rail tickets in advance and InterRail passes, and about a rail connection between India and Asia/Europe via Iran.

Forget gifts of Eau de Cologne on Valentine’s Day and treat your loved one to a short break in the city that created it instead.

A four-night trip in February costs from £410 pp (two sharing) including Eurostar, onward train connections and B&B.
