Ideas for City Breaks please - Wedding Forum

Have you been anywhere that you could recommend for a long weekend?

Bob and I like going off on short city breaks and are always on the lookout for interesting places to go as Bob doesn't really like going to the obvious places but likes to be different.

We've already been to Stockholm and Paris (although I want to go to Paris again!) and we have booked up Amsterdam and Budapest already for this Spring. Oh, and Bob has already been to Prague and Poland with his best mate.

Hope you can help....

Hmm... I went to Barcelona with my first hubby so I'm not so sure about that. I almost killed myself climbing to the top of the Sagrada Familia!!

Whereabouts is Talin?

Talin is the capital city of Estonia

I really want to go to Bilbao - guggenheim museum and everything...

Madrid was fantastic, I want to go back to Paris too and Imreckon you could see plenty of Dubrovnik in a weekend...

If you can stretch your long weekend out to a week, Globespan do quite cheap Canadian City Breaks. I have twice been to Toronto and Niagara Falls for a week in April for around £400. It was excellent. I am considering a different city this year though!

Laurie,

I know bob's been, but you have to go to prague!! Would he consider going again?

Failing that - Tokyo.

Prague is on our 'to do' list but Bob keeps telling me I won't like it cos I'm a non beer-drinking veggie. I say to hell with it, I'll live on vodka and chips!
