Underrated cities
Discussion
I fancy a city break for 3 nights or so, but I've done a lot of the major/popular cities in Europe, especially in western and central Europe. I wouldn't mind going somewhere that is slightly off the beaten track.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Ideally it would be somewhere that is within say a 4/5 hour flight. Somewhere with a bit of culture to enjoy during the day and a little bit of nightlife would be nice but I am up for going anywhere really.
Thanks

Not as far flung as you've suggested but both Ghent and Eindhoven are great cities, and often overlooked in favour of Bruges and Amsterdam.
I'm happy to go closer, and I enjoyed both Amsterdam and Bruges. I always assumed (wrongly) that Eindhoven was quite an industrial city. Granada in Spain is pretty good - you've got the Alhambra and can get to Ronda and Leon pretty easily from there, too. It's also a uni town so good night life and I believe it's the home of tapas which means there are plenty of awesome places to eat. It gets quite hot in the summer though.
Dubrovnik is full of character, especially if you're a fan of Game of Thrones. Although I'm not sure there's enough to keep you occupied for 3 days.
Budapest is beautiful and has great nightlife (and amazing women if that's relevant).
If you really want an off the beaten track suggestion then go to Petra/Dead Sea in Jordan. Not a city break and no nightlife but the place and the country is amazing! Some incredible roads winding down to the Dead Sea too.

Not sure if it fits your criteria but I keep being told that Istanbul is an amazing place to visit.
