Title: City Break Post by: Audrey on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, 16:51:38 I've already had a beach type holiday in May and I've got 10 days booked end of Sept beginning Oct.
Any suggestions for a city break that would still have a bit of warmth to it Title: Re: City Break Post by: Reg Smeeton on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, 17:01:23 I've already had a beach type holiday in May and I've got 10 days booked end of Sept beginning Oct. Any suggestions for a city break that would still have a bit of warmth to it Damascus is warm.....fascinating place, one of the first cities, full of history. Title: Re: City Break Post by: Audrey on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, 17:10:03 I forgot to add that I was planning to return.

Title: Re: City Break Post by: RedRag on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, 18:10:02 Barcelona Good call, esp. If just the one city. If Damascus or Palmyra are too arabic, try Marrakesh which is exotic and can be two centred with the Coast (Essaouira is good) the Sahara or the Atlas mountains. Had a warm two centre in Nerja and Granada last year with car hire, or try Granada and Seville perhaps and get into the Flamenco? Title: Re: City Break Post by: Abrahammer on Tuesday, July 12, 2016, 18:32:33 Preferred Madrid myself, bit more chilled than Barca and you don't have to put up with Las Rambles (or whatever that street is called)

Title: Re: City Break Post by: Tails on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 09:59:48 Rome's pretty cool if you like history / architecture / mental Italians.
Title: Re: City Break Post by: Peter Venkman on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 10:07:56 Rome's pretty cool if you like history / architecture / mental Italians. Also Naples weekend for Pompeii too for culture and sun.Title: Re: City Break Post by: Arriba on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 10:43:31 Barcelona I'd go with this one. Short flight, easy transfer from airport, Beach, vibrant city, football. Weather will be lovely too. Title: Re: City Break Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 10:50:31 I went to Berlin in March which was great. Plenty to do and see and you'll be plenty warm with a jumper.
Title: Re: City Break Post by: fuzzy on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 14:34:48 I would second the Berlin suggestion
Title: Re: Re: City Break Post by: horlock07 on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 17:34:25 I would second the Berlin suggestion It will take your breath away :DTitle: Re: City Break Post by: Mister Lorenzo on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 18:03:32 Another vote here for Krakow
Title: Re: City Break Post by: Wobbly Bob on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 18:07:38 Dubrovnik could be decent at that time year and off season as well.
Ljubljana was very good value, but might not be the case since they adopted the Euro. Not sure it's been discovered by Brit Stag & Hen Parties yet, which can only be a good thing. Budapest also recommend. Title: Re: City Break Post by: sonicyouth on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 18:20:31 Oslo
Title: Re: Post by: FormerlyPlymRed on Wednesday, July 13, 2016, 20:56:03 Loved Krakow when I went
Title: Re: City Break Post by: Gethimout on Thursday, July 14, 2016, 16:28:23 Berlin was very good when I went in November, albeit a bit cold!
Just got back from Bratislava - stupidly cheap food and beer, hot weather (30C). Flew into Vienna and got the coach across for 4 Euros. If you want to know anymore, let me know. Title: Re: City Break Post by: horlock07 on Thursday, July 14, 2016, 16:48:22 It will take your breath away :D I give up - philistines the lot of you....... a gag is always poor when you have to explain it I am wasted here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx51eegLTY8 Title: Re: City Break Post by: 4D on Thursday, July 14, 2016, 16:58:13 Oxford?

Any suggestions for a city break that would still have a bit of warmth to it CAnnot think of any city in the world I would like to go to for ten days, in the UK what about Newcastle as you have Northumberland on the door step for relaxing and quiet time and Edinburgh and to a lessor degree Glasgow within easy distance? End of September may be wet and windy, may be gloriously sunny?

Any suggestions for a city break that would still have a bit of warmth to it Hit the beer festivals in Munich, fantastic time of just boozing boozing boozing and the odd bratty for good measure.
