A new Ryanair flash promo puts the spotlight on low-cost flights at the tail end of summer and the start of autumn. The “Book Now” offer provides a 15% discount on fares purchased by August 28, 2026 for travel from September 1 to October 31, 2026. Among the many combinations to watch, there are three routes, which we have selected, that let you reach some European cities perfect for a weekend getaway, with particularly appealing fares.
From Bologna to Kraków
Kraków is one of the most captivating cities in Poland, but beyond the famous Market Square, the largest medieval square in Europe, and the Wawel Castle, there exists a quieter side, ideal for travelers who prefer to stray from the usual routes.
In the Kazimierz district, for instance, it’s worth noting the quiet inner courtyards of old houses, often hidden behind historic doors and passages that tell the story of the Jewish quarter. The area is also interesting for street art, with murals appearing between Józefa Street and Nowa Street and in the Zabłocie area.
Another idea is to venture toward the Podgórze district, where the small Fort of Saint Benedict lies, one of the city’s lesser-known sites. For an unusual break, you can instead reach Nowa Huta, a district born as an autonomous industrial city in 1949, characterized by wide tree-lined avenues and monumental architecture.
For the Bologna–Kraków route on September 17, Ryanair’s fare starts from €28.
From Milan to Bratislava
Compact, elegant, and easily walkable, Bratislava in Slovakia surprises mainly when you step beyond the most photographed historic center.
Among the lesser-known stops is the Calvary Hill, above the railway station: a short stroll brings you to a peaceful viewpoint set in greenery. To experience the city like a local, head to Horský Park, where the former gamekeeper’s house Horáreň has become a space frequented by residents, with a cafe, a creative area, and play zones.
For those seeking a natural corner, the Comenius University Botanical Garden houses roses, a Japanese garden, and species from Australia. The city also offers markets, such as the Miletičova market and the Old Market, as well as urban spaces popular with locals (the Sad Janka Kráľa is Europe’s oldest public park), perfect for a less touristy atmosphere.
For the Milano Malpensa–Bratislava route on October 17, the fare starts from €23.
From Genoa to Bucharest
Bucharest in Romania is a city of contrasts, where monumental palaces and modern architecture coexist with surprising corners. To discover a less known side, you can begin on Xenofon Street, a peculiar street made up entirely of roughly 70 steps near Carol Park.
An even more unusual experience leads to the Bellu Cemetery, regarded as something of an open-air museum thanks to elaborate tombs and the final resting places of important Romanian writers, artists, and historical figures.
For a breath of nature, there is the Văcărești Nature Park, a true natural oasis also known as the “asphalt delta” or “urban delta,” where you can observe birds (herons, cormorants) and other wildlife without leaving the city.
For the Genoa–Bucharest route on 20 September, the Ryanair fare starts from €30.
