Try to look not only for large cities as destinations. You will discover a totally different world around those larger cities within short drive.

When in Spain - not only Barcelona, but may be consider Cordoba, Granada, Basque county, Altea. In Chezh consider not only Prague but also Kutna Gora. You get the idea.
