From the quietest snugs to the best coastal walks, this is the hand-picked resource I wish I had when I first moved to Dublin.

Weekend break at Hovs Hallar, Sweden. Skåneleden (hiking path in the South of Sweden) passes right by this wonderful place - it's our first trip here and what a treat :)
And yes it's made famous by the movie The Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman.

Regular folk: Brussels is a nice place for a quiet weekend break!

8000+ Hackers: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as a quiet weekend break is in fact the Final Boss of weekend breaks, or as I've recently taken to calling it, #FOSDEM

Alternatively just stay near home and enjoy winter whilst winter is still A Thing where you live.

Where I live we haven't had winter yet this year, just Summer Max & Summer Lite. Which has hit food production really badly; olive & tomato harvests are less than half their normal yield.

Was it totally worth it? Also yes.

My local airport, Corvera (RMU), is just starting to get some decent connections after about 15 years of back-handers, political meddling, dodgy regional government loans, bankruptcy and national airport agency (AENA) indifference.

Just in time for climate change consciousness to go mainstream and people realise that hopping on a plane for a weekend break is Not Cool.
