Guest Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Most amazing place I've been to is Lalibela in Ethiopia. Churches carved out of the earth. Google image it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I was a bit dissappointed with Paris but did a lot of the tourist stuff so it was worth while to knock off the list. Prague was great Budapest was too. I've only spent a day in Rome but it was good. I think I'll go back for a bit longer at the end of the season.

I quite liked Paris, but I just got pissed with some Germans and rode around on the metro. Greece is my favourite place, but Athens is super polluted and the acropolis is basically on a roundabout. I prefer smaller places anyway and have had great holidays in Argostoli on Kefalonia and Annecy in France. Venice is beautiful.. we arrived at 4am as the sun was rising and before the tourists arrived. never been to Athens, sounds like one to cross off the list. Pollution is a real problem in some cities like Delhi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Echo the positives for Barca, along with Dubrovnik, Budapest and Berlin. Barca and Buda the more romantic IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Belfast is quite good for a weekend, lots of irish bars hidden away though not as obvious to find as those in temple bar dublin. Much cheaper than Dublin. Derry worth a visit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollution is a real problem in some cities like Delhi. We were there in the middle of August and stuck it for less than a day. My friend is married to someone from Venice and she hates it too; too many ******* gondolas, probably. I don’t doubt the architectural beauty, but as an overall experience it was dire. No doubt you have to pick your moment. I remember standing at the acropolis and seeing a huge brown doughnut of smog circling the city. That was in the 80s, goodness knows what it’s like now.

We went in August too - it was stupidly busy in the middle of the tourist area, but once we got further out it wasn't too bad and the restaurants started to get much cheaper. It's a weird place in that eye level and upwards the buildings are beatuful but look down and at canal level - the state of the brickwork was upsetting me. If anyone is any good at re-pointing you could make a fortune in Venice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 4pm after a day traipsing around the sights we couldn't get a quiet pint. It's like an English northern city from 25 years ago (not just the licensing laws!)

sage Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 It depends what you want. Rome is best for ancient history, Belgium for 20th century history (and great beer). Krakow and Lisbon are the cheapest cities in the east and west respectively. My favourite city is San Sebastian. Amazing food and nights out. Great beaches, sights, walking and wine. Very couple friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we're doing Italy - for god's sake don't anyone go to Naples! (unless it's a stopping point to go somewhere nice like Capri) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
