Short city break - Amsterdam, Copenhagen or...
Discussion
Finally I've got rid of my loan, which means I'm now going to have a few hundred quid at the end of every month to spend on "stuff". During the time I've been repaying the loan, the holidays have been a bit thin on the ground.
So now I'd like to do some weekend/short trips with Mrs Dibble. I've visited Amsterdam, Normandy, Gothenburg, Oslo and Stockholm myself previously, so I'm after some suggestions for 3-4 days with enough variety to keep us entertained.
So somewhere with a few decent bars, shops, restaurants, museums, galleries and "sights", preferably all "doable" on foot. Budget will be about £500-600 for both of us (I'm paying!).
Europe preferably, within 3-5 hours of the UK.

I like Copenhagen as a city, plenty of things to do (Carlsbery museum can blank out an afternoon/evening!) but not really recommended for a cheap break. It is an expensive city.
I know it is rapidly becoming the standard answer to such questions, but Berlin is a great city to visit.
Otherwise try some of the Eastern European ones, Prague and Budapest while great cities are a bit mainstream these days, so try somewhere like Vilnius in Lithuania - beautiful little city in my opinion.
