Help me decide where I go in May/June (European cities).

[Johnny Vodka]

So I've been looking around and came up with this shortlist of destinations. I've been to the 'dam a number of times before, but it's been a while and a return is definitely required sometime soon. Anyway, where would you pick out of the cities mentioned and why? I'll be travelling on my tobler, if it matters.

I chose Bologna because I went there in 2018 and loved it. Good food, good walking. Didn't like Copenhagen.

Seville. Should be nice hot weather in May/June. Great Gothic and Moorish architecture. The best tapas I've eaten anywhere.

 

[planetgeli]

. Didn't like Copenhagen.

Why not? I've never been but I've literally (like an hour ago) just booked 3 nights there for April. I know its expensive, that's why I've never been before, but it looks beautiful. Why didn't you enjoy it?

Only been to Krakow of the non 'Dam cities mentioned. Pretty and close to the salt mines which are amazing (e.g. there is a whole cathedral carved into them). I recall the beer and jazz was good.

Go to Seville you won't regret it. One of the best cities in Europe fo sho.

Malaga/Granada/Cadiz/Cordoba also excellent options if you have more time.

You might quite like Kiev too if you want sthing different... meant to be fun.

I liked Utrecht (near as dammit to Amsterdam ) for a bit of a wander round. Eindhoven too, Wilhelminaplein was ace of a Friday/Saturday night although that was admittedly 30 years ago.

Bologna is very cool. Lovely architecture, lots of interesting little bars, great people watching, lots of students having heated intellectual discussions whilst drinking in little bars. Amazing food.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Galway. Not much there but at least it's fucking expensive.

 

[JimW]

Leighton Buzzard. It has a raptor in its name.

Hire a car and take a trip around West Cork and Kerry. Stay overnight in Portmagee or Valentia Island and take one of the small ferries over to the Skelligs.

Beautiful part of the world.

I've been to Granada a couple of times and love it. It's another place that's always tempting to go back to...

I've been to the dam 5 times before, but there's still loads of things I haven't done. Would be cool to do a trip out of there sometime.

One of my Ibiza chums is from there!

I think Copenhagen is out due to cost.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Berlin.

Cold, expensive, saw people shooting up in the open. Was a long time ago though.

While I've been to Amsterdam - for the art - and I'm sure I'd love Bologna, the only one on your list that's on MY list of places to visit one day is Bergen. Just looks beautiful, the houses, the freshness...

Went to Copenhagen two years ago and loved it. It was big, it was open, safe and clean. Felt a very cool place.
Some good museums, places to visit, great bars and restaurants at Nyhavn, Tivoli Gardens, Etc.
I might even consider going back there and rarely go back to a places for seconds. If I did, I suspect I would spend
much time here Warpigs , it rocks

There is of course the dry ski slope in Copenhagen, not sure if it is open yet.
The Round Tower also has good views.
This is narrow, very narrow right at the top (you walk up the outside of the steeple ) Long queues for it and you can see the huge bridge to Sweden from the top.

Berlin.

Not on the list & overrated, grim city.

I now have a flight to Seville.

Don't rent a car unless you have a parking space. The city is a nightmare to drive around.

You'll have a good time there, it's a nice place.

No plans to rent a car. Plan to split stay between Seville, Jerez and Cadiz. Got 11 nights.
