DISTRICT VII IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY

Also called Erzsébetváros, this is now one of the

best bar-hopping ’hoods on the busy Pest side

of the Danube. Base yourself at this playful pad

near St Stephen’s Basilica (US$53; bit.ly/1NminnO)

before exploring local ruin bars. Cirkusz Café serves

a hangover-eradicating brunch, then to WarmUp

Bar for a reviving cocktail (warmupbudapest.hu).

CAPUCINS-VICTOIRE IN BORDEAUX, FRANCE

The city’s south-central area is known for its huge

market, nicknamed ‘the stomach of Bordeaux’.

This colourful artist’s apartment (US$84;

bit.ly/1ZOn5XS) is also close to the antique dealers

at Passage Saint-Michel, once a banana

warehouse. Take lunch at La Tupina, which serves

classic southwestern cuisine (latupina.com).

TRIANA IN SEVILLE, SPAIN

The home of flamenco, this neighbourhood on the

banks of the Guadalquivir is one of the city’s oldest.

Enjoy a sundowner on the balcony of this light,

bright property (US$82; bit.ly/1ZOn71U) before

seeing dancers strut their stuff at a free

performance at bar T de Triana. Dine on tapas

at Abades Triana (abadestriana.com).
