If you want to get around all over Europe I would suggest you take Ryan air. It is really cheap. Their tickets are super cheap.

There is plenty to do and see, I highly recommend taking your time and enjoying what you see. Take a tour of some of the surrounding towns, it is a great way to see the countryside and how living is more traditional outside the city.
