Gdańsk ticks all those boxes, weather’s sunny in the high 20s at the moment, lovely city and nice beaches too.
Gdańsk ticks all those boxes, weather’s sunny in the high 20s at the moment, lovely city and nice beaches too.Looking to go somewhere in September for a week with the missus and I genuinely haven't got a clue. I would say I am very well travelled but for some reason finding somewhere to go just seems like a more annoying task than ever. I find something I am happy with and five minutes later change my mind. The costs are also staggering for even some of the cheaper countries too, which is a bit off-putting.
Was looking at Ibiza but it seems very bad value. Croatia and Montenegro the weather will be a bit suspect. Turkey (sorry Türkiye) looks good in some ways, particularly weather wise, but whilst we want to do both partying and beach on the trip, some of the resorts and hotels also look a bit shoddy. Mallorca, Italy, Greece probably off the list as been there a lot.
Somewhere pretty, hot, with some night life.
Come on SBT - help a man out.

Further along the coast is Tallinn which is fairly similar unless you have an Estonian exIt's a great shout and you are right, but I have already been there for extend periods of time. One of my exes is from there, and let's just say, I don't think I will be going back there any time in the not so distant future.

Not bad for a guy in chinos.
Never been to Estonia but it is on the list. Did Lithuania in June and Latvia about 5 years ago. Jurmala is a great beach place there. Think I probably fancy heading south for September though.
Albania looks amazing… going to give it a try next year!!Might be worth having a look at Albania as some of the beaches I have been seeing look amazing.
Got to know a couple of Albanian girls through work and they took me for a night out in Tirana and I can confirm the nightlife is pretty good as well.
Me and the Missus have just booked 4 nights in Utrecht and will travel into Amsterdam for one of the days as she has never been and considering going Rotterdam on another one of the days.
Anything you can recommend @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 for seeing and doing in Utrecht/Rotterdam?

Thanks ESB! Appreciated.That's a good shout. A tour of the Balkans are due and Vlorë in Albania was actually on the list. Wherever we go, we are probably going to just book it the week before. Gives us a chance to suss out the weather and also hopefully get a cheap deal.
You've done the right thing to stay in Utrecht. I actually think it is the better city, but by going to Amsterdam for a day you won't miss anything out which is great. I would recommend going to Naarden for a day also, that's a pretty place. Utrecht itself is just really nice for walking around down by the canal. Good bars and restaurants, and if you like a night out is really good fun. Would recommend Cafe Flater for some good music, drinks (and MILF stronghold). If you are there when a Utrecht game is on I would also invite you to come along, but maybe that isn't something the missus would want to do.
Obviously a bit touristic, but my bosses from the US came over in June and we did a walking food tour which was actually excellent. Also a solid boat trip has to be done. Let me know if you want any more specific recommendations for restaurants etc. You will have a great time!
Great holiday for a family, loads of nice restaurants along the front at Puerto Del Carmen. Cracking beach too.If your just looking to chill and nothing too cultural go Lanzarote.
Cheap, you can be on the beach within an hour of leaving the airport, its got nightlife and decent places to eat and it will be hot.

I always include my middle name out of habit but no one else I know bothers and don’t seem to have problems.The missus name has how been edited. But I didn't put middle names down. Will I still be ok to fly?
Not a great name for a place in terms of marketing.Just back from Macedonia (Ohrid). Really enjoyed it.
Downside is that flights from the UK for a package holiday are limited to Gatwick and Manchester.
Upfront cost was cheap and it's about £2 a pint (food prices are proportionate to beer prices).
Lake Ohrid itself is lovely.
Well worth a visit if you want something different in Europe.
Lake Ohrid is definitely NOT an example of nominative determinism.Not a great name for a place in terms of marketing.
Come to Macedonia and have an Ohrid time.
Just booked a dirty weekend for Gdansk with the GLW. Any tips?Gdansk is a nice place, went for two nights earlier in the year.
Bologna is a lovely place and the food is off the scale brilliant. Le Stenze was a good restaurant, in an old church. Wine was top too.
Was in Bologna last year and can agree with that. Interesting ground to watch football in too.Gdansk is a nice place, went for two nights earlier in the year.

If you go back there you should go toWas in Bologna last year and can agree with that. Interesting ground to watch football in too.
If we went back we'd probably go again to Bologna/San Marino. Great food in the former, unbeatable views/scenery in the latter.If you go back there you should go to
Zerocinquantino for aperitivo. When I was there they did a fixed price for drinks with 500ml glasses of Spritz Campari/Aperol.
Never been to San Marino but we’re off to Umbria for a wedding next week, so aiming to stop there. The best food I’ve had was in Sicily and Ravenna - the latter is definitely worth a night’s stay if you go back to Bologna - probably one of my favourites places.If we went back we'd probably go again to Bologna/San Marino.

The wife and I both thought San Marino was the most stunning place we've ever been. Fantastic food and views in 'La Terrazza' there if you get the chance.Never been to San Marino but we’re off to Umbria for a wedding next week, so aiming to stop there.
