City Break over Xmas

[Silvah]

Well just after Xmas actually. Looking to fly out on Boxing day for 3 nights.

 

I want to go somewhere in Europe with the mrs, but not sure where. We've thought about Brussels, Budapest or Prague, but we're still open to other ideas.

 

Anyone been to any of those 3? any good hotel tips? or is there anywhere else you'd recommend over Xmas time?

Bruges is better than Brussels. I'd recommend Rome, Barcelona, Munich or Salzburg.

You're probably looking at temperatures of -10 in Prague and Budapest at that time of year.

 

Was on a stag in Prague in December 7 years ago and it was fucking baltic.

 

Been to both cities and they're similar - both full of attractive young women trying to entice you into their bar of choice before you're presented with a £500 bar bill. Would swerve with the Missus especially at that time of year.

 

Brussels and - as has been suggested - Bruges are both good. The Belgians certainly know how to brew a decent drop.

 

A few other suggestions:

 

Nice is nice - Good shops and plenty of restaurants

Palma de Mallorca - Steven Gately was rumoured to have enjoyed it and on a cultural note the cathedral is worth 10 minutes of your time

Seville or Malaga - Almost as far south as you can go in Western Europe and plenty to do in both. Plenty of places in all the Spanish cities where you can keep up with the footy while you are away.

 

Hope this helps - if not fucking think of somewhere yourself.

Thanks for the suggestions chaps.

 

Not sure where to go yet. Any more suggestions?

Deffo Malaga.

 

Pretty cheap and the city and the harbour at night when its all lit up is stunning. Food is excellent as well

Oh here is a picture I took of Salzburg, at Christmas in the evening. There is a huge amount to do. Very Christmassy and great places around it too
