peasepud 59 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Any recommendations for good weekend breaks? We've decided to cancel the idea of a christmas trip to New York in favour of spending the money on numerous weekends away on cheap flight trips. So we start next weekend with a nice easy Dublin jaunt (getting a flight Saturday early morning out and returning early Sunday morning, no luggage nowt just cameras and a free reign. Ending up at the airport for a few hours before we return. Then we're looking at Prague, Krakow, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Paris all the usual suspects but Id be interested to hear any other places people can recommend.

Guest alex Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Absolutely love Paris and Barcelona. Amsterdam is cracking place for a weekend break too (not just for the sex and drugs either - the museums are great). I really want to go to Prague.

peasepud 59 Posted November 4, 2007 Author Share Posted November 4, 2007 Expensive as fook like Dublin. Yep Id heard that too, seeing as we're only going to buy coffee, sandwiches, a beer or two etc. Then I reckon its not going to be too much of a problem. Might have to join a casino over there like to have somewhere to go between about midnight and 5am when we need to be at the airport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil 0 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Vienna is great for weekend trips, especially at this time of year. I went there last autumn and loved it. http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...c=9740&st=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Even though I went to Prague to get bladdered and naked, it's actually a beautiful city that I'd love to take the wife to. Would love to go back to Barcelona as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Expensive as fook like Dublin and a rip-off at half the price. Seriously, I have no clue why anyone would want to waste a weekend there. And that's not just someone who was spoilt by it's many cultural riches growing up. Cross all those other wonderful places off your list first before even considering it would be my advice. I'm not that fond of Paris either, but most people seem to love it.
