For example, my daughter and I went on a brilliant trip to Egypt about 10 years ago with a company called Explore (https://www.explore.co.uk/), we were in a group of about 12 people, none of us knew each other at the start but we got to know everyone just by being with them most of the time.
Two of my daughters have also done trips across the southern states of the US with Contiki (https://www.contiki.com/en-gb), you're travelling with a group for a couple of weeks so you get to know them.
Or, as mentioned before, cruises are good because there are chances to meet and chat with people and, if you hit it off, you can arrange to meet up in the daytime or evenings and go ashore together etc; but the ships are usually large enough that if you'd prefer to never talk to that person again, they're fairly easy to avoid
But if all you're looking for is a recommendation for a short break, I can personally recommend off the top of my head Valencia, Seville, Budapest, Prague, Paris, Lisbon, Vienna, Barcelona as having lots of beautiful stuff to see, some great food, and enough to keep most people occupied for at least a long weekend.
Thanks for the suggestions.Comment
