Madrid to....?
Hello,
Looking for suggestions for a three day trip out of Madrid. I'll be visiting a friend there (who is a grad student studying in Madrid for a semester) for the last two weeks of December, and we'd like to do a long weekend to a city we've never been to. We've both traveled Italy and Spain extensively, and have been to Paris, so would love recommendations for exploring some place new. Only criteria is that is easily accessible via Madrid...whether it's plane or train, we just don't want to spend an entire day traveling. Our budget is moderate—willing to splurge here and there, but do not expect to stay in five star hotels. We both love food, wine, museums, and exploring cities. Welcoming any and all suggestions!
Many thanks!

Yes, thinking somewhere outside of Spain. I hear the markets in Vienna are great this time of year. Would also love to go somewhere in Germany, but a little nervous of how cold it may be.

Where ever you end up, be sure to check out a Christmas market-

As for being nervous of how cold it may be, you're only going for 3-4 days. Suck it up! Lol.
