Barcelona is good, I also love Dublin and Cork in Ireland, :good:

paris is top notch, and it really isnt that expensive its probably the same about here for booze plus there is loads to do.

Thought Budapest was great - but did go in May a few years back and it was scorching. Loads to see and do.

Madrid, wanks all over Barca IMO

Manchester.

 

No, seriously.

Reykjavik was belting but VERY expensive.

 

Brussels was quite nice when we went a few years ago.

Stockholm if you're made of money, Bruge if you;re not

Vienna,

 

Went for half a day once when on a stag do in Bratislava.....would like to do a full weekend, so when you've been post on here and let me know what it's like.

have a look on last minute, thats what i used and we got a 4* right near the arc and eiffel tower, cant remember the price but didnt cost me an arm and a leg like what the travel agent wanted.

When you go avoid the bistro next to Notre Damn for French onion soup a glass of wine one omelette and a beer no change out of 55 euros!!!

Another option - Add a day/night in London and go by Eurostar.

 

 

 

Looking at a trip to Cork in October now. Apart from the Blarney Stone - what else is there to see & do?
