Back to Vegas in September on a stag do, miss Bury at home

Looking at possibly 3 nights in Italy. Flying into one of the Milan airports and doing a night in each of Como, Lugano and Stresa. Looks like I'd need a hire car to get around all those places. Anybody driven around there - shit scary mountain roads? Alternatively, we just do one of the lakes - in which case - which one would be best? Garda, Maggiore or Como?

Maggiore is the quietest one. I enjoyed Como but I believe there are quite a few illegals there now.

I’d go for Garda. If you fancy a 3 night centre, have 1 in each of Riva, Malcesine and Garda town

Condor/TC/Avion are the same people with different accents.

I go in a fortnight

Have you guys made up your own holiday or is there some sort of package for that kind of thing?

There are packages available, but they're massively overpriced.

I've sorted my own out, but I am a travel agent. 

Doing a week in Kiev all told, including 2 days at Chernobyl.

I stayed in the eastern side on the two occasions I’ve been. As long as you’re relatively close to the 24 hour tram line then you’re on to a winner really.

We stayed at NH Collection in mitte in January mate. Nice area , nice and central and hotel was smashing. 

Everything is a train or tram ride away wherever you stay so you can’t go wrong. Just a few stops from Alexanderplatz which had most going on. Mind you we Fucked the trains off in the end and just got taxis

Was my reply a whooooooshhh moment mate

 

Joking aside, Mitte is sound.

Said it a few times on here, the Topography of Terrors is a must do.

Same with the famous chocolate shop near the Gendarmkt..

It’s vast mate. You need a gameplan sorting before you go. Everything is easy to get to but it’s fookin huge. 

Alenderplatz is like a big square with a shopping centre and bars and restaurants on the periphery. 

There’s decent clubs and bars out towards friedrichshain where’ll you’ll find the watergate club and similar , you’ll like them

Everything is a tram ride away pal, but have a plan in place 👍🏻

Imagine mitte being like a big deansgate, Alexanderplatz a big Piccadilly Gardens and friedrichshain a really big northern quarter that’s pretty quiet in the day.
