Towards the end of the month, Sat afternoon to Thursday, £1500ish, starting from London. What to do?

Baseline is a motorcycle trip somewhere, possibly with tent, but no idea where.

Euro trip? Flight somewhere further afield? Happy with budget accommodation if need be.

Suggestions of any sort welcome. I'm flexible on destination (but not dates) so open to something very last minute if there are bargains to be had, but I don't know if they truly exist.

Bonus points for anywhere easy to meet people.

If you want to meet people over a 4 day trip, and assuming you want to explore and experience culture, then I'd be looking at an extended city break, or possibly 2:

- Lisbon
- Porto
- Berlin
- Munich
- Ljubljana
- Reykjavik
- Copenhagen
- Malmo (which you can easily get to from Copenhagen)
- Madrid
- Dubrovnik

And the list goes on....

Camping on a motorbike in November, brr.

Why not fly to somewhere like Budapest, saltzburg, Porto, Athens - all lovely for 4 days.

I'd start with a Skyscanner search on the dates you have and London to "anywhere" and see what took my fancy.
