Decided this year that as I live in pretty much the heart of Europe that i am going to try and see as much as possible this year. Starting with a trip to Gdansk in Poland in a couple of weeks. Anyone been?
Hoping to take a step into Scandinavia this year (probably Stockholm and Rejyavik) and booked up for my first trip to Portugal in April.
Any other hidden gems in Europe greatly appreciated.

Not been myself but I've heard Ljubljana in Slovenia is meant to be a great city, and reasonably unfettered by stag weekedns etc.

Depends what floats your boat I guess.
Photography opportunities would be the key factor for me and the wife, so Prague is on our list to do. Other than that, I'm interested in what responses you get really.....
Oh, and avoid Rome. IMO, its a dump.

sevilla is gorgeous well worth the visit, you could combine sevilla and granada in a 5 day trip, only a 2 hour drive. be careful going there in summer, is known as "el horno de espana" the oven of spain. can hit 50 easy.

Stockholm's quality beautiful place, natives are friendly, beers not as expensive as people say (if you don't drink in tourist traps).
Ljubljana's lovely to although Lake Bled (about 45 mins up the road) is perfect place for couples well worth a visit (and a row to the little island in the lake if you're there in summer).
Slovenia is Europe's little secret at the moment, from the Alps in the north, to Ljubljana to the coastal towns of Piran, Izola and err cant remember the other one. My gf and I spent a week travelling around Slovenia and have to say it was one of the nicest countries I've ever been to.

The Italian Dolomites are mighty fine....maybe a trip combining both...Dolomites and some Slovenia suppose might be pushing it for a weekend. |

Anything on the Bavaria-Austria border is special landscape-wise. Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Berchtesgaden etc. Beer's not bad either, but really depends what you're looking for.
But when it rains, it fucking rains.

Not sure about his house but the Eagle's Nest is still there and is quite a tourist attraction. Never been myself but I imagine you get quite a view from up there.
