We’re at the halfway point for 2014 and if you haven’t already managed to squeeze in a holiday then don’t worry, there’s still time. Many people are looking to take their breaks a little closer to home to save money and also because there are some hidden gems making themselves better known in our home continent.

To help you choose your next European holiday destination we’ve chosen 10 of the best for 2014 – take a look below to see if any of our selections get your wanderlust kick-started.

Uzes, France – If you’re in love with France, be it for the cuisine or the culture, then you need to visit Uzes. Now, with an extended service from Eurostar this summer you can reach Avingnon and from there it’s only a short distance away for stylish B&B’s and the Haribo Museum.

Carmarthenshire, UK – With the Centenary of Dylan Thomas’s birth there will be plenty going on in Laugharne this year. If you’re a fan then you can take in a string of events to celebrate the poet’s life and works.

Gdansk, Poland – This summer a new museum, library and research centre will open in the same spot where the Gdansk shipyard strike occurred to bring down the Soviet Bloc. You can also sample the local cuisine or checkout the waterside microbrewery.

Yorkshire, UK – It might be a little late to catch the Tour de France but Whitby has long been a classic holiday destination. There are breweries and beaches as well as art and culture driven by David Hockney.

Glasgow, UK – 2014 is a big year for Glasgow as the city tries to put itself back on the map. You can catch the Commonwealth Games or the MTV Music Awards or even sample the local culture, history and cuisine at a variety of events.

Umea, Sweden – There are a great deal of popular Scandinavian destinations but one you might not have heard of is Umea. This small town in the North of Sweden is rising in popularity through its title as the European Capital of Culture for this year. There are art sculptures in a former mental asylum and Euro-vision themed clubs to revel in.

Milan, Italy – This key European city might be one of the more recognisable entries on the list but that’s because it’s long been a hub for culture which is both historic and contemporary. If you’re a shopaholic then you’re well catered for and with Inter Milan and AC Milan you can watch some of the best teams in Italian football if you’re more of a sports fan.

Berlin, Germany – With so much history and change in the German capital no list would be complete without Berlin. A vibrant city full of young culture you can choose to savour the remains of the fallen wall or delve into the green spaces in Gorlitzer Park or Grunewald.

Budapest, Hungary – You can explore the historic city of Budapest in a variety of ways, enjoying the terraced cafes, boutique shops and the splendid architecture for which the city is known. Make sure you check out the Buda Castle and the views from Gellért Hill.

Zagreb, Croatia – Zagreb is the city which has everything; shops, restaurants, cafes and theatres. Whether you like to explore by day or night there is something for everyone in this pedestrian friendly city – there are even parks and a zoo which show off a greener side of Zagreb.
