Malaga/Marbella not too cold, not too hot this time of year. It's about 20 today. Also there's not so many tourists about so you can relax and wander at your leisure. Or Granada if you want a mix. There's skiing etc in the Sierra Nevada, and there's the coast nearby. The city is nice too.I also did another to bruge/Brussels/Ghent in September.
Thinking of January / February recommendations now please

Don't really mind. Was thinking prague as never been and hopefully no stag dos around that time.

Watch out for falling icicles, big 2 foot long daggers suspended 20 odd feet over your head . Really, it's a proper thing .

Centre yourself in Nimes, easy train trips to Avignon, Montpellier, Sete, and Le Grau-du-Roi truly an amazing area all the centres are walkable, accommodation is reasonable.
Eurostar direct St Pancras to Avignon.
We had two glorious weeks in the summer - would highly recommend.

We also went to Hamburg recently with a day trip to Lübeck. Hamburg was nice, did a boat trip around the port. Lübeck was really pretty though, much smaller than Hamburg.
I think going to a bigger place but getting away and visiting nearby places is a sensible plan and gives good rewards! Have had no issues what so ever with European train travel so far. Double decker trains, wooo

Some years back in Berlin it was really col and snowing - we were killing time (mate and me) after blitzing Dresden , steam railways etc - so we went for a walk down to the Soviet war memorial near the Brandenburg Gate. The T34 tanks were nicely sprinkled with snow and some (poignant) red roses - so mulling around in the freezing cold , we get approached by this elderly couple who asked in pidgin German if we spoke Russian. Replied in pidigin (Welsh German) - no - but turned out his old man was a WW2 Russian soldier (RIP) - who was looking for Treptower ark. Got map out and pointed him to the U- Bahn / S- Bahn as quickest way - he communicated he would walk (about 4 miles in freezing winter darkness) - but he insisted on giving his a swig of rocket fuel- probably real Russian Vodka and gave him the map. Hard core that I reckon. A great experience and my first and only evermeet with a real Russian. Hope he made it. Said to my mate he would - if his old chap could fight his way to Berlin in 1944 / 45 - he would certainly manage that....

All aboard the 303 bus.
Has anyone been to riga on their own? After having been looking for ages for a trip for about £250 easter weekend, riga's the nearest I can find money wise..... about £310 (I can do it a bit cheaper, but I'd rather hire a small apartment than stay with someone else).

Googling doesn't make you an expert
Went to Riga by myself a few years ago on a whim, I did go into several random bars and chat with people while drinking excellent beer and vodka, it was really friendly and everyone speaks English. I stayed in a hostel right in the centre but with a room to myself and an ensuite bathroom, but with the option to go and mingle downstairs if I wanted. I chose not to though and would probably do airbnb if I went back.
