The big 50

What better way to celebrate the 50th issue of Ryanair Magazine than getting our team of writers to pick out 50 top things to do in 50 of our destinations for €50 or under? You're bound to fi nd one for you.

1 TOUR THE BOQUERIA BARCELONA, SPAIN Barcelona’s Cook & Taste cooking school offers guided tours of the Boqueria market, led by professional chefs, costing €12 per person. Located beside the downtown La Rambla, the Boqueria is one of the most famous – not to mention overwhelming – food markets in Europe, and a guide to tell you the difference between 13 types of olive will be a welcome ally. Navigating a Catalan menu will seem far less intimidating once you know the basics too. Why not take a friend, then after the tour blow the rest of your budget on local delicacies, and at the tapas bars just beyond the fish stalls. www.cookandtaste.net

2 TRY A SUBMARINE SAFARI SAN MIGUEL MARINA, TENERIFE Tenerife is hardly awash with Beatles links, but at the San Miguel Marina you can make one of their silliest songs a reality. The splendid-looking, $3.5 million yellow submarine can take up to 50 budding Jacques Cousteaus on an underwater marine tour, with swathes of sealife guaranteed. Large individual viewing ports mean you can see all the action, and the sub dives four times a day, Sunday–Friday. Tickets cost €48 (€28 for children), and there’s a free bus service from the island’s main tourist spots. 6 AVENIDA ATLÁNTICO, SAN MIGUEL DE ABONA, TEL: +34 922 736 629, www.submarinesafaris.com

3 dormiu bem SHOP AT 10 CORSO COMO MILAN, ITALY You can spend a whole lot more than €50 at 10 Corso Como, a fabulously alla moda store taking shopping to arty new heights. You can spend a fair bit of time here too: as well as the original book/ record store, there’s a café, bazaar, hotel, and the Carla Sozzani art gallery. Bypass the designer wares on this occasion and seek out their own-label products. A bottle of Corso Como bubble bath (€30) will let visitors to your smallest room know that you shop classy. 10 CORSO COMO, TEL: +39 02 2900 2674, www.10corsocomo.com

4 GET YOUR HELMUT ON BERLIN, GERMANY Helmut Newton spent the first 18 years of his life in Berlin, and today the Helmut Newton Museum pays homage to the famous photographer with a collection of his iconic pictures, including those athletic, Amazonian women (to make you feel really guilty about eating that third Bratwurst). There are 250 images on display, which rotate from the museum’s larger stash, and other items include cameras and personal memorabilia. Entry is a snip at €8, so why not head to the Taschen bookshop afterwards to purchase a weighty coffee-table tome? 2 JEBENSSTRASSE, TEL: +49 30 3186 4856, www.helmutnewton.com

5 VISIT THE NEW M SHED BRISTOL, ENGLAND The biggest city in the south-west, Bristol has a rich history. In the 15th century, boats would set sail from here bound for Ireland, France and America. It was also the terminus for the UK’s first major railway, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. To find out more, just head to the city’s newest and biggest museum, opening on 17 June. M Shed aims to tell the story of the city and its people – and, like all Bristol museums, is free to enter. So that leaves plenty of money for the shop, where you can pick up Bristol-inspired souvenirs from quirky art (graffiti superstar Banksy hails from Bristol), to toys, posters and Bristol blue glass. And don’t forget to take a ride on the harbour steam train afterwards. PRINCE’S WHARF, www.mshed.org

6 TAKE A FOODIE TOUR GOZO, MALTA Perched on the hillside overlooking the Marsalforn Valley on the island of Gozo, the family run Ta’ Mena estate is a foodie experience not to be missed. Owner Joe Spiteri uses traditional farming techniques to grow strawberries, melons, tomatoes and olives (which he invites you to pick in the summer), as well as nurturing a 10ha vineyard. He’ll take you on a tour of the vineyards and olive grove, followed by a wine-tasting with Gozitan nibbles, for just €7 a head. After that, stock up on wine, organic olive oil, honey and must-have sweet tomato jam. Gozo is just a 20-minute ferry ride from Cirkewwa on Malta (€4.50 return). RABAT ROAD, XAGHRA, TEL:+356 2156 4939, www.tamena-gozo.com

7 LOVE THE LAGOON VENICE, ITALY St Mark’s Square may be teeming with tourists, but just moments away the quiet waters of the Venetian lagoon are teeming with birds and marine life. Take a trip on a motorboat with ATN Laguna Sud, a company specialising in birdwatching, fishing and eco- tours. Try the half-day fishing tour, where for €25 each a local guide will give you an insight into how Venice’s fishermen do their work. The tour winds through the fishing valleys like Cornio and Averto, with the chance to stop off at a traditional fisherman’s dwelling along the way. TEL: +39 041 467147, www.atnlagunasud.it

8 VISIT A REMBETIKA CLUB THESSALONIKI, GREECE Greece’s second city loves to party, its seafront promenade packed with bars and clubs. It’s also where some of Greece’s top cultural events take place, like the Dimitria arts and music festival, from September to November. But for something a little unexpected you should check out the city’s “rembetika” clubs, small venues playing a melancholy musical style that took off here in the 1920s as the music of the underclass. Today, get your friends together and head to the Vendetta club, where bouzouki players and singers perform classic songs, and every now and then may even play a cheerful number too. Spend your €50 on house wine, and flowers to throw in the air. Opa! 3 ETHNIKIS AMINIS, TEL:+30 2310 234973

9 INSPIRE YOUR CHILD AT IMAGINOSITY DUBLIN, IRELAND Choosing a potential career path is hard at any age, but perhaps an early taster will help focus those thoughts. Imaginosity is Ireland’s first interactive children’s museum, where under-nines can try out any number of roles, while parents kick back and make a few mental notes. The first floor is about practical life experiences, with a garage, play-market and doctor’s surgery; upstairs aspiring media types can read the news or act in a play. €2 for babies. If only all career planning was this much fun. THE PLAZA, BEACON SOUTH QUARTER, TEL: + 353 (0)1 217 6130, www.imaginosity.ie

10 SCOFF SCANDO SEAFOOD GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN Taste the best of the west of Sweden at hip Gothenburg restaurant Familjen. Balancing contemporary design with a cosy atmosphere, Familjen is a great venue for tasting the local oysters, herring and mackerel. With a fixed three-course meal menu starting from SEK325 (€36) and mains from SEK169 (€19), you can certainly eat well here for €50. 7 ARKIVGATAN, TEL: +46 031 207979, www.restaurangfamiljen.se

11 GET ON YOUR BIKE GIRONA, SPAIN Catalonia’s Via Verde is a car- free cycling trail running along an old railway line from the foothills of the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean. Starting from the town of Olot, it winds its way down to Sant Feliu de Guíxols on the coast. It’s a trip that’s easy on the wallet, so save your euros for packed lunches before you set off, and camp at Les Preses, near Olot, for just €6 per night. www.viesverdes.org

12 DRINK GREAT CHIANTI FLORENCE, ITALY Soak up the Renaissance charms of Florence, then soak up some of Tuscany’s famous Chianti too. For about €45, a guide will pick you up from the city and drive you to one of the region’s renowned wine producers, dropping in at a typical Tuscan town too. The trip alone is worth it, passing vistas of woodlands, vineyards, and castles, and once there you’ll gain an insight into winemaking, along with tastings of Chianti Classico, Chianti Reserve and Vin Santo dessert wine and plenty of local snacks. www.viator.com

13 CRUISE THE MEUSE MAASTRICHT, NETHERLANDS Take a boat trip on Maastricht’s tranquil River Meuse and you’ll not only be able to take in beautiful views and spring sunshine, but you can also stop off to check out the Caves of St Peter. This labyrinth of about 20,000 underground tunnels dates back to Roman times, and was created by quarrying for marl, a lime-rich stone. Don’t worry, you won’t have to wander around in the darkness, as a one-hour guided tour will point out the best bits, including wall-writings and drawings. A river cruise, including a visit to the caves, costs €12.15 for adults and €8.25 for children. www.stiphout.nl

14 CHILL IN THE GARDEN ZADAR, CROATIA Laying claim to Europe’s most beautiful sunset, Zadar lies on the north Dalmatian coast surrounded by a string of islands. All of which has created the perfect setting for The Garden, a DJ club and lounge bar set high up on the sea-facing Venetian city walls. Opened in 2004 by UB40’s James Brown and producer Nick Colgan, the venue attracts a host of international DJs and is the place to indulge in quality cocktails as you recline on your lounger and watch that celebrated sunset. Entry is free, so go ahead, order that third cocktail. 6 LIBURNSKA OBALA, TEL: +385 23 364 320, www.watchthegardengrow.eu

15 DINE AT PARC AVENUE BRUSSELS, BELGIUM An obligatory visit to this swanky new eatery just around the corner from the European Parliament should be the law! It’s spacious, romantic, and a great place to blow your €50. Let the sommelier guide you through the French wines, then take your pick from tempting mains like sausages with black truffle. Bon appetit! THREE-COURSE DINNER, €55; TWO-COURSE LUNCH, €16.50. 50 AVE D’AUDERGHEM, TEL: +32 (0)2 742 2810, www.parc-avenue.be

16 HIRE A SEGWAY ROME, ITALY Anyone who grew up in the 1980s badly wanted a hoverboard, so the Segway was always going to be a let-down. But despite the fact we’re not all riding to work on them just yet they do seem to have caught on in places like Rome. With Italy Segway Tours your modern-day chariot is a passport to piazzas, palazzos and pizzerias. Rent one for just €45 for two hours, and whizz off to see the Colosseum, with map and helmet included. www.italysegwaytours.com.com

17 SINK SOME SCOTCH PERTHSHIRE, SCOTLAND Sampling whisky is one of the best reasons to visit Scotland, so it makes sense to start with the country’s oldest distillery, Glenturret, dating back to 1775 and now home to The Famous Grouse. An hour and a half’s drive from Glasgow, the distillery is made for visitors, with a range of four tours available. For £40 (€46) try the Warehouse No. 9 tour, letting you sample the full range of malts. Perfect for the real connoisseur. TEL: +44 (0)1764 656 565, www.famousgrouse.com

18 KART AROUND GDANSK, POLAND Relax, you don’t have to head to Monaco for race car action. Go off the beaten track with an afternoon of go-karting in Gdansk. An afternoon adrenalin rush at the indoor track, at the Multikino complex, costs PLN160 (€40) for 30 minutes; or PLN120 (€30) each for groups of three or more. 14 ALEJA ZWYCIÐSTWA, TEL: +48 (0)601 532 280, www.indoorkarting.pl

19 GEEK IT UP RIJEKA, CROATIA At Peek & Poke, a museum dedicated to telling the story of the computer, kids can snigger at the now long-obsolete machines their parents first learned on. More than 1,000 examples of vintage machines are on display, from the earliest calculators to Wham!-era IBMs and Sinclairs. Phone in advance to arrange a visit, and be sure to check out their retro souvenirs too. ENTRY, HRK20 (€3). 6 DUBROVACKA, TEL: +385 51 680770, www.peekpoke.hr

20 SPLASH AROUND IN THE AQUADOME BILLUND, DENMARK Across the road from Billund’s main attraction, Legoland, lies the enormous Aquadome. Tropically temperate all year round, its watery attractions range from dinghy-based waterslides to hot- tubs perfect for soothing away the stresses of staring at coloured plastic bricks. It’s DKK160 (€21) for an adult day pass, and DKK100 (€13) for kids under 12. 3 ELLEHAMMERS ALLÉ, TEL: +45 7614 9400, www.lalandia.dk

21 TAKE A CAESAR SALAD KOS CITY, KOS Built to host gladiatorial contests in the 2nd century, Kos’ answer to the Colosseum is still a popular destination today. The site was only discovered in the early 20th century and artefacts found in the excavations are on display in the nearby archeological museum. But why not rustle together a picnic to enjoy in the evocative outdoor setting? Togas are optional.

22 EXPLORE A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF CHOCOLATE LONDON, ENGLAND Choc-full of curious treats, Paul A Young’s two London stores are a must-visit for the cocoa connoisseur. Young is a former Marco Pierre White pastry chef who now takes a radical approach to the chocolate arts. For €50 you could acquire a couple of white chocolate, sesame seed and sea-salt Artisan Bars; truffles from the House Collection, including the slightly troubling Marmite, and Port and Stilton varieties; and a 200g Rose Petal Masala Pavé, which is white chocolate with rose buds and masala spices. And be sure to throw in a few good old- fashioned brownies too.. 33 CAMDEN PASSAGE, ISLINGTON, TEL: +44 (0)20 7424 5750; 20 ROYAL EXCHANGE, THREADNEEDLE STREET, TEL: +44 (0)20 7929 7007, www.paulayoung.co.uk

23 SUP A MID-RIVER COFFEE AT MUR ISLAND GRAZ, AUSTRIA Austria’s second city has one of the best preserved historic centres in Europe, blending architectural styles from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. It was also a European Capital of Culture in 2003, and to celebrate Graz commissioned a bold steel and glass platform from New York artist Vito Acconci that both bridged and brought new life to its neglected waterway, the Mur river. The Murinsel – or Mur Island – contains an open amphitheatre, children’s playground and a funky café. All of which makes it a suitable spot for a pastry-based break in the middle of your day of sightseeing. You’ll have a great day out and plenty of change from €50. The strikingly futuristic platform was due to be sold after the Capital of Culture celebrations, but the locals had become rather attached to it: on the Mur it remains. TEL: +43 660 5566771, www.inselindermur.at

24 HAVE A SHERRY GOOD TIME JEREZ, SPAIN What comes to mind when you think of sherry? Some dusty crystal decanter on your nan’s cabinet? Then you need to get yourself to Jerez in Spain, where the (sometimes) sweet stuff and traditional tapas make delicious bedfellows. From dry, clean fino to the sticky oloroso, easily enjoyed poured over ice cream, there is a sherry here for everyone. The best way to decide which has your name on it, is to take a tour of the cool and cavernous bodegas where the drink is fermented. Pedro Domecq is the oldest producer with a beautiful bodega dating back to the 18th century. Entry is just €7 for a visit and tasting, €12 with tapas. TEL: +34 956 151500, www.bodegasfundadorpedrodomecq.com

25 TRAVEL IN A TRABANT KRAKOW, POLAND Fancy a memorable experience of communist-era Polish style? For PLN200 (€50), Krakow’s Crazy Guides pick you up from the airport in a classic Trabant. A driver in communist worker’s dress will bring tasty treats like salted bread, pickles and vodka, and (for an extra fee) you can be greeted by a Polish folk band, too. www.crazyguides.com/krakowtours

26 LET’S FLAMIN-GOLARNACA, CYPRUS On your way to or from the airport it’s definitely worth stopping to see the Larnaca Salt Lake. Everyone’s favourite bright pink bird, the Greater Flamingo, is among the species who make this protected area their stomping ground. It’s free, so put your dosh towards the car hire – try Hertz, who offer a discount to Ryanair passengers. www.hertz.com

27 DRINK TO THE OLD DAYS TALLINN, ESTONIA Having undergone barely a change in 40 years, Valli Baar was recently declared a protected site by the city. Drop in here to try the Millimallikas (“Jellyfish”), a reckless concoction of tequila, sambuca and Tabasco, which will put you in the mood for the raucous folk music. 14 MÜÜRIVAHE, TEL: +372 641 8379

28 BUY CHOCOPASSES TURIN, ITALY You’d be nuts not to try the chocolate in Turin. That’s because the city is famous for its Gianduiotti, rich, velvety chocolates made with ground hazelnuts and wrapped in silver or gold foil. The treats were invented here in the mid-19th-century, at a time when cocoa was becoming too costly. Now, so as not to offend the locals (as if you needed an excuse), you may want to get a ChocoPass. For €12 per person, the 48-hour licence to scoff gives you 10 free tastings at Turin’s historical cafés and patisseries, where Gianduiotti, pralines, cakes, biscuits, ice cream and hot chocolate are the order of the day. Be sure to try the “Bicerin”, a devilish espresso, chocolate and milk concoction. www.turismotorino.org

29 SEE SOME JOAN MIRÓPALMA, MALLORCA Surrealist painter and sculptor Joan Miró would surely never have envisaged that his future legacy would include such a nice day out, but his former studios on the island of Mallorca are certainly that. The Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró includes two studios and a gallery on the outskirts of Palma, which you can visit to learn all about the Catalan artist. It’s an accessible, inclusive affair: for just €6 each, Miró admirers can survey the collection of great works, the studios in which they were created and the tools he used. The Mediterranean gardens are also peppered with Miró sculptures – an ideal starting point for newcomers. It’s a fine legacy indeed.

30 ORDER ROOM SERVICEEDINBURGH, SCOTLAND Rooms aren’t cheap at The Roxburghe, the grand and luxurious hotel that graces the west end of Princes Street. But once there you may as well go the whole hog, haddock or hen! The mouth-watering room service menu includes corn-fed chicken Caesar salad, 21-day-aged Scottish rib-eye steak, and Arran dairy ice cream. Add a tipple, the tray charge and tip and that’ll be one of the tastiest €50 you’ve ever spent. Just remember to hit their high-tech gym later on! 38 CHARLOTTE SQUARE, TEL: +44 (0)844 879 9063, www.macdonaldhotels.co.uk

31 GET A SUGAR HIGH MADRID, SPAIN In need of a sugary snack? Head to the famous Chocolatería San Ginés for the heavenly chocolate love-in known as churros. Churros, for the uninitiated, are a light and crisp doughnut, usually shaped into fingers and dusted with icing sugar. To enjoy, dunk them into a warm mug of hot chocolate. Established in 1894, this gorgeous café stays open all night, and €50 should buy more than anyone could eat… but see how you feel. 11 CALLE DEL ARENAL, TEL: +34 91 365 6546

32 ENJOY THE HAMMAMPARIS, FRANCE You’ve shopped at Colette, climbed the Eiffel Tower and eaten a macaroon, so what’s next? How about a scrub down inside the ornate Grand Mosque? A slice of the Orient in the 5th arrondisement, this hammam is beautifully decorated with colourful mosaics and marble. For €48 you get a steam bath, 20-minute massage, gommage (scrub down), black soap and mint tea. After your session, sample some tagines and couscous in the café. 39 RUE SAINT-HILAIRE, TEL: +33 (0)1 4331 3820, www.la-mosquee.com

33 SCOUR THE SOUKSMARRAKESH, MOROCCO If there is one area a strict €50 limit might be useful, it’s Marrakesh’s labyrinthine souks. For the uninitiated, be firm, fair and throw in a little French when it comes to haggling. But be sure to visit some well-established stores too. For beautiful handmade soaps, seek out L’Art du Bain, while nothing says souk style like Chez Azzedine’s range of tassel-based accessories. L’ART DU BAIN, 13 SOUK EL BADINE, TEL +212 (0)667 491610, www.lartdubain.org; CHEZ AZZEDINE, 13 SOUQ STAILIA

34 ENJOY A DAY BY THE DUNES BORDEAUX, FRANCE Bordeaux has enough fine wine and beautiful landscapes to occupy you for a lifetime, but don’t miss out on the nearby beach resort of Arcachon, about 55km away. Its nature reserve is home to a varied array of birds, and features a spectacular natural sand dune that’s up to 117m high – the tallest in Europe. In the waters here you’ll find plenty of oysters, and nearby are plenty of restaurants serving them. Your dosh should buy you a seafood lunch after you’ve tired yourself out sliding down the dune!

35 SCREAM! OSLO, NORWAY The Scream, or “Skrik” to give its Norwegian title, is one of the world’s most iconic artworks. There are actually five versions of the image, created by seminal Norwegian artist Edvard Munch using different media, and the backdrop is said to be of the Oslofjord. Learn more about the man and his work with a visit to Oslo’s unique Munch Museum, which hosts a collection of about 1,100 paintings, 4,500 drawings and 18,000 prints. Entry costs NOK95 (€12), for adults, and under-16s go free. 53 TØYENGATA, TEL: +47 (0)23 493500, www.munich.museum.no

36 SEE THE ELEPHANTPULA, CROATIA Take a boat from Fazana, near Pula, and you can visit the island retreat where Yugoslav dictator Tito once lived. Veliki Brijun is one of the Brijuni islands, where during the Cold War Tito entertained non-aligned world leaders. They presented him with a range of exotic creatures: Indira Gandhi’s elephant, Lanka, still roams free here. There are also botanical gardens, a golf course, and Tito’s hunting lodge. A day excursion from Pula costs HRK210 (€30). TEL: +385 52 525 888, www.brijuni.hr

37 EAT SPRING ONIONSREUS, SPAIN A great way to spend a spring afternoon in Reus is at one of the seasonal barbecue parties called calçotadas. These kick off with the consumption of the calçot: a fat spring onion that’s roasted and served with an almond and red-pepper sauce. It’s standard practice to don a bib to keep your clothes clean while you eat as many as you have room for. Keep your eyes peeled for flyers advertising events and go online at www.elcampdetarragona.net. Entry fees are usually about €8.

38 MEET THE MOOMINSTAMPERE, FINLAND While Stieg Larsson’s sinister novels continue to captivate the world, the works of Tove Jansson are much more family friendly. Tampere’s Moominvalley celebrates the creation of the Swedish-Finnish novelist’s most popular invention, an unassuming household of hippo-like trolls, through original drawings, about 2,000 artefacts, and a five-storey model of the Moominhouse co-created by the author herself. Entry costs €7 for adults and just €2 for children, which should free up some funds to spend in the lovely shop. Moomin-based office supplies, anyone? 20 HÄMEENPUISTO, TEL: +358 3 5656 6578, www.moominvalleyshop.com

39 ROCK OUT LIKE A ROMAN PLOVDIV, BULGARIA It may have been built in the 2nd century AD, but this marble amphitheatre, unearthed in 1972, boasts excellent acoustics and could originally seat up to 6,000 people. Today, its restoration means that during warmer weather (from around May onwards) classical concerts and special events are held. Look out for the Verdi festival in June, when Bulgaria’s second city pays homage to the Italian composer with operas like Il Trovatore, sung under a star-lit sky. TEL: +359 (0)32 625553, www.ofd-plovdiv.eu

40 HIT THE GREENSALMERIA, SPAIN Tee off in style at La Envía, a country club where the course runs the length of a valley, flanked by mountains. Playing 18 holes in the club’s Wednesday tournament is only €40, including green fee and lunch. If you’re not looking to compete, 18 holes the rest of the week will set you back €45. Almeria receives more than 300 days of sun every year, so the odds are you’ll have a great day too. TEL: +34 950 559646, www.laenviagolf.com

41 VISIT JAMEOS DEL AGUA LANZAROTE, SPAIN Jameos del Agua is a network of caves and outdoor spaces formed by a volcanic eruption about 3,000 years ago.

ENTRY FROM €8. TEL: +34 928 848020

42 TAKE IN AN OPERAPALERMO, ITALY Guarded by lions, and adorned by busts of famous composers, Italy’s largest opera house, the Teatro Massimo, knows a thing or two about drama.

There are more than 250 various attractions, including the roller coasters, good old-fashioned ghost train and the iconic ferris wheel (rides range from €2–10). For the most extreme thrills, try those like Turbo Boost, Ejection Seat and Space Shot. You can also ride the 117m-high “chairoplane”, the world’s biggest, which spins you through the air and offers a fabulous (if blurry) view of the city. 9 PRATER, TEL: +43 (0)1 728 0516, www.prater.at

With everything from a cinema to an aquarium, coffee bars, a theatre, pubs, a hotel, a shopping mall and a city museum, you’ll leave wishing there was a Manufaktura in your city too. www.manufaktura.com

49 BEACH HOPIBIZA, SPAIN Probably the cheapest way to have a fab time in Ibiza is to just pick up a map, jump in your car and start exploring the luscious sandy beaches of the White Isle from the get-go. Fuel and snacks for the road are very cheap, especially if you’re sharing with friends, so €50 will be more than enough for two days. Visit beaches like Cala Benirras, Cala Mastella, Cala de Boix and Cala Xarraca to spend some quality time working on your tan. www.ibiza.travel
