City break in Europe

[The Cookie Monster]

Spend less time in Florence and more elsewhere.

Will only have 2 full days in Florence. One of which I'm leaving open for a trip to Cinque Terre or elsewhere.

 

[AC-OTM]

Great place but get ready to fight off street sellers and beggars.


“Nice shoes man” you want to miss the queue

Ahh right get what you and @forzamilansafc are talking about now

 

[Harbour Boy]

Found it way, way too touristy. Too many cars ruining the city as well. Guess that goes for most places in Italy mind.

I'm also deeply uncultured so simply do not care about classical art, statues or any of that shit so it all went over my head.

We found a class Mexicans that done cocktails for 4.50. They were unreal. Just one of them cities I enjoyed wandering about in.

Stayed in Florence last year and used as a base. Did Venice on the high speed train and had 11-5 there. Loved it

 

[PTID]

I liked Antwerp

 

[Les the Scientist]

I can recommend Dublin

 

[RossTheNinja]

Aye it's class I was there but about 13 years ago or so. So would be looking for something different. So Ireland, Copenhagen, Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Paris and Amsterdam off the list

Munich

I wonder why

 

[Lambchops]

Just back from budapest - cracking city, enjoy it everytime we go

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

Depends on season but Nice, Rome, Lisbon, Prague and Madrid are all good shouts

 

[houghton cut head]

Munich

Just came back from there today- great city, €5,10 a 0.5l beer in the Hacker Pschorr Place next to the meat market in the centre, €7,40 for a glass of wine.
Shit loads of Bayern and Shalke fans drinking in the town centre yesterday, and a canny few stopping at the hotel I was in.

Canny few groups of blokes hanging around drinking beer together on street corners and although didn’t bother me, the average Daily Mail reader may have been a bit worried, but most Central Station areas in Germany are a bit raggy around the edges

 

[Bob Fleming]

Looking likely to be Barca now.

What area is best to stay for being near to good night life? Any hotel recommendations? Budget about 200 a night. A little more perhaps.

Ended up booking Barca like. Early May bank holiday weekend. Stopping at Gran Hotel Calderon in Eixample. Can't wait.

5,10€?! They clearly put a tourist tax on your bill...

Southend away that weekend man. I actually priced flights from Southend to Barca on the Sunday flying back into Newcastle on the Thursday. Cheaper than getting the train back.

 

[Alan BStard]

Just gan to Italy, go to Montepulciano, get a B&B just outside a vineyard and put your feet up. Can't go wrong.

We'll have been confirmed playoffs by then. Disappointing. Will bring me radio so I can pick up BBC Newcastle

Barca away at Celta vigo. Assume pubs would be busy for that.

 

[offshore]

Gdańsk Poland cheap flight from Newcastle airport direct. Hotels are also cheap even for 4-5 star ( we stay at Hotel Almond) it’s also a nice small city with loads of history. It looks old but it was re built after the war to look old! It’s so so cheap to eat and drink also. It’s the perfect escape I think it’s bloody cold in the winter tho but nice in the summer. Recommend from me

Might live with you at that price!

Where abouts do you watch the games?
