Comedian David O'Doherty joins presenter Joe Lycett in Málaga, on Spain's Costa del Sol for a fast and funny two-day trial of the best the Costa has to offer. They head to the city's oldest bar, where wine is poured directly from 100-year-old barrels, then enjoy a walk along the Caminito del Rey footpath, which clings to the side of a cliff face 100 metres up. Their next attraction is the International Museum of Nativity Scene Art in the small town of Mollina, while back in Málaga itself, they learn how to cook the perfect sardine before visiting the birthplace of painter and sculptor Pablo Picasso.

Joe Lycett is joined by The Last Leg presenter Alex Brooker for a two-day tour of the Dutch city of Rotterdam. After taking the train direct from London, they launch into a break full of unusual activities, attractions and flavours. For accommodation, they swerve hotels in favour of Wikkelboats; eco-friendly floating houses insulated with corrugated cardboard, that come complete with hot tubs on deck. Once they're settled in, they book onto the Rooftop tour, taking in some of the most interesting roofs and views in Rotterdam, including a farm and the oldest skyscraper in Europe. For dinner, they head to Fermin - a restaurant that loves to use fermented flavours in its unique and inventive menu. Day two begins with a culture hit as they head to Rotterdam's largest gallery's storeroom, the futuristic Depot, before rounding off their caper with chips in peanut sauce, a stroll across a famous bridge and a game at the Dutch pinball museum, which gives Alex an idea for a whole new show.

The new run concludes, as Joe Lycett packs his suitcase for another mini-break and shows willing celebrity guest Rose Matafeo how to get the most out of a weekend away, with a fun-packed, 48-hour itinerary of trademark humour and facts in Sweden's third city, Malmö. Their journey starts on the engineering marvel and Scandi noir thriller star the Oresund Bridge, which links Denmark to Sweden. After checking into their circus-themed hotel, Joe and Rose make use of the complimentary bikes to discover the city. At the canal, they hop on a self-driven electric boat for a sightseeing tour that includes The Turning Torso: the world's first twisting tower, which was once the tallest building in Scandinavia. They head to The Disgusting Food Museum where the tickets double as sick bags and they sample some of the world's most disgusting food, challenging the notion of what is and isn't edible. Menu highlights include a traditional Sardinian cheese, a selection of insects and Chinese delicacy 'Century Eggs', all washed down with a Swedish spirit made from beaver anal glands. For a more appetising Swedish food experience, on day two Joe and Rose enrol on a walking food tour, where they discover that Malmö is Sweden's falafel capital, embrace the country's love of fish and check out a local brewing company. Then it's off to the 19th-century splendour of the Ribersborg Kallbadhus for a sauna followed by an icy dip in a seawater pool. Feeling invigorated, they hotfoot it to Folkets park for a round of Malmö-themed mini golf as they take in the tiny landmarks and reflect on their trip.
