Okay, £500 budget, 2 adults 1 but preferably 2 nights, preferably on the continent between Christmas & New year.
Bombard me with ideas..!
Basically we used to go to Prague every other Christmas (pre kids etc.) between Christmas & New year & we’d love to do something similar, but realise we’ve got a shitty budget 😬
When did £500 become a shitty budget for a city break?
We sometimes use had a company called Journee, you fill out a questionnaire and they plan to your budget and wants but it remains a mystery until the day you travel. They give you clues, weather and packing lists, as well as in country guides and to-do lists when you're there.

Amsterdam (although beer is expensive) - short hop ?
Happy to fly? If so from where? I’ve done Bilbao a few times now and love it. Some good sightseeing, excellent food and drinking options especially down in the old town.
Bilbao is great, though I don’t know what the opening hours of the art galleries is like at that time of year? Not a such a good option if you can’t eat bread, or you’re vegan, but if that’s not an issue then a pintxos bar crawl is great!

Do keep up!
Or alternatively amaze us with your finds....

Airports is order of preference:
East midlands
Doncaster
Birmingham
Luton
Good luck with Doncaster, unless you can fly a Vulcan!

So now you can see why we need a break..!
Just read about it closing - actually quite sad about that, it was a great little airport.
Madrid? It will be quite lively, there's a good chance of the weather being decent, food is decent, pretty cheap really.
Alternatives would be Porto or Lisbon.
I'd just go with whichever of those 3 has suitably priced flights.
Or alternatively amaze us with your finds….
Luton to Prague, 27/12-29/12 £124pp with Wizzair. Leaves you £250 for hotel and food/beer.
Madrid from Luton is the same price, flying from East Mids adds £50pp and from Brum blows the budget out of the water.
Skyscanner is a wonderful thing… 🙄
Gdansk from Luton?
When I went, the airport taxi transfer was 9 euros and really quick.
Cheap food and drink options plus enough to keep you busy for a day or two.
