This week finding budget hotels in Helsinki and plotting driving routes to Valencia are also on the agenda…

Q. I am taking my granddaughter to Maastricht in July. Is it best to travel by plane or train?

Barbara Walker, via email.

One reader wants to take her granddaughter to Maastricht in July. Above, an aerial view of the historic city in the Netherlands

A. There are no direct flights — it’s best to fly or take the Eurostar to Brussels and catch a train from there. Flights are from £64 return (brusselsairlines.com), while Eurostar tickets are from £46. Brussels to Maastricht train tickets are from £17 each way, taking 1h 45m with a change in Liege (thetrainline.com).

Q. Can you recommend a budget hotel in Helsinki during May?

Claire Jones, via email.

A. For smart rooms under £100 a night, see Helsinki For Under £100 A Night! at dailymail.co.uk.

Rosemarie Mead, via email.

A. Catch the Portsmouth-Bilbao ferry (brittany-ferries.co.uk) and stay overnight in Zaragoza, the capital of Aragon.

Q. My wife is over 6ft tall and would love to have a soak in a large bath tub. Can you recommend a suitable UK hotel?

Morris Parkes, Cannock, Staffordshire.
