I haven't seen a thread on this so here goes;
Krakow
Just back from 4 days in Krakow , what a wonderful place to visit and the Poles were really lovely. Stayed in a fantastic Apartohotel 2 mins walk from the main square and it was brilliant. A day trip to Auschwitz which was also very impressive and eerie.I was amazed at the size of the death camps and what happened there.
All in all a great break for few days and so cheap to eat and drink out. Recommend 100%

Cheap flights, short journey, magnificent cheap riyadhs or budget hotels to stay in.
3 days is just right to do the souks and sights and have stunning cheap meals in the spectacular spring-up street eateries at night in the Jemaa el-Fnaa square and the real restaurants.
Exciting, colourful, vibrant and busy - a complete sensual bombardment.
My favourite break in the world.
Absolutely stunning place, great people, great vibe, plenty to do and see. Well worth the price and well worth the suggestion from the Irish geezer at work
Dubrovnik , wonderful and so very sad at the same time
We went out of season (February, when the river cruises aren't running and there are no pavement cafes etc) and I still adored it.
Goulash and chicken paprikas, washed down with tokaj. Mmmmm. We also had a very cheap night at the ballet and, of course, went to the Szechenyi baths, in 4 degree cold! Amazing.
Florence - a short break of 4 days was just perfect to see most of the historical city & the Uffizi Gallary
Venice - off season this is a fantastic city to visit, gong in the autumn or early spring avoids the massive crowds and summer heat and smells. It's incredible the difference having no cars around makes.
I don't do city breaks but did have a nice weekend in Dublin on 2 occasions.
I concur on both destinations.
Worst - Prague - full of drunken chavvy stag parties whose behavior leaves a lot to be desired. We were treated in a restaurant of the sight of someone drunkenly passing out into their meal, and his friends climbing up onto the table to urinate onto his head.
Stockholm
Berlin
Vienna
Munich
Salzburg
A few to be going on with
Totally agree. Went for 3 days in September. Great city, lovely people.
To the idiot who said "You like death camps", Auschwitz is a place you visit to understand and show respect for those that suffered.
You prefer watching wild animals trained do tricks for humans. So be it.
I also recommend Budapest (cruise the river by night), Rome, Barcelona (visit La Boqueria food market for a visual feast) and Dublin. (Guinness!!)
As for Cardiff, well I'm just biased
Madrid
Lisbon
Oporto
Riga
Paris is always good, but when you don't have to battle
to speak to people it doesn't seem like a holiday trip.
I take it that you're kidding, or you have been toking Moroccan Red.
I've been to both places, fortunately Tewkesbury only twice.
Comparing Bruges to Tewkesbury is akin to comparing Montreal
with Basildon, with Bruges being Montreal.
My family home is just under 80 klms. from Bruges, and I've visited Bruges
lots of times.
I'm not strictly enamoured of Bruges, but compared to Tewkesbury it's heaven.
........and don't forget the kwak beer!
Absolutely love Bruges.
