Three Day European City Break In September

[Electric ~soul~]

Where shall I take Mrs Z for our (third!) anniversary?

 

Toying with the idea of somewhere like Oslo or Copenhagen, and I quite fancy Montecarlo too.

 

Any suggestions??

[SteveP]

Rome, it's great, cheap and you can catch a good game of footie too!

I always liked the sound of Venice actually, but everyone I know who has been there says it's a shithole!

[Zagreus]

How about Budapest - it's a lovely city and cheap!! It's also where me and Mrs Zag got engaged.

bit ike canvey but without the sea wall..

rome must be the ultimate tourist hell hole by now..

head off the beaten track a bit .. or if you have to go mainstream

stick to paris, its close, you can go by train and you cant really go wrong ...

speaking of off the beaten track it was my wedding anniversary earlier this month and i am off to vegas on thursday..

which is very much mainstream and the ultimate in touristy

Vegas - I'm jealous! We went there last year as you know, but Mrs Z was pregnant the whole time we were there and I didn't get to enjoy it at all. Selfish cow!

 

Budapest - hmmm, think Chubbhead went there last year too. How much English do they speak!!?

Try Libson, I was really impressed with it despite the 1000's of football fans. Little bars and resturants on little cobbled streets, really friendly and offically the cheapest capital city in Europe. It's obviously warm and there are some lovely beaches just a short train ride away.

a quick poll around my well travelled office has prague as a better bet than budapest.. but the hot tip is 'Bled' in Slovinia..

apparently it is untouched by the nazis and the communists and ryan air fly there.. look it up on the web.. in fact i will as well im that bored

I was thinking Prauge as well, it's a beautiful city but is now infested with stag weekends and the english looking for sex, likewise the reason I didn't meantion Amsterdam, which is also an ace city.

Forgot about Spain, Barcalona has loads to do but Madrid wasn't as nice.

Estonia is meant to be ace as well. But thinking of just you and the missus I'd still say Lisbon, it's where I'd take another half I think.

Hey Zeal, we could copy the post of the week idea off our Carter buddies <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah. Let's not.

Barcelona is pretty good. As Thorns said plenty to do and a very beautiful city.

 

Milan is OK but bloody expensive!!!

 

Copenhagen and Oslo sound interesting!

[Chubbhead EFM]

Hi Zeal!

 

I wasn't in Budapest for very long (one day and one night!), but it was a very beautiful city and you can get great value for your money over there. In Hungary, you would probably be a millionaire!. As far as I can remember, the locals didn't really speak much English, but they will make an effort (unlike the French!)

 

Failing that, you could always come to Edinburgh! Me and my friends will show you a good time, <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> !

[Electric ~soul~]

Edinburgh it is!
