Send me on BA vacation! Pick European city to visit
Next summer I will be going through Europe and would like to do a weekend stopover in one of the cities. I'm currently routing through LHR on AA award, but don't have/want to stop there and can add one way segment to somewhere else.
I can entertain myself in pretty much any city, but looking for some suggestions where to go.
My criteria:
1) Anywhere OW flies out of London
2) NOT Reykjavik, Oslo, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Warsaw, Kiev, Dublin, Sofia, Zurich, Rome
Current top candidates are Stockholm, Hamburg, Barcelona, but I'm not set on these 3 choices and will go anywhere fun.

Come and visit us in BHD, if you have already done DUB, Belfast and the North Coast are fabulous, and don't miss out a walk in the Mourne Mountains and a sail on the Fermanagh lakes.
The NI tourist board should have me on a commission

For a pilot, you have worrying powers of observation!
~~the O.P says NOT Rome....
I would suggest either Vienna, Munich, Budapest or Prague. Or Berlin if you particularly like night-life....
Or Verona, Italy, so you can also drop in on Milan and Venice......

If you want to make clever remarks, at least make sure you are correct..
