    Hi,

    I'm going to bring my GF away for her 30th birthday. Aiming for the beginning of May.
    I was thinking New york, as we've both been there and loved it, but never been together.
    Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for other nice destinations.

    Budget wise, I have about 1500euro for flights and accommodation, between us. 4 nights, or 3 if it's a really nice hotel we end up staying in!

    Any suggestions will be appreciated, recommendations for hotels etc aswell!

    Thanks,

    GIC.

    Why not go somewhere a bit closer to home (since you've both been to NY before). That way, you could splash out on a fancier hotel, have more spending money, and spend a bit longer too. NY is very expensive, and even an 'ok' hotel will cost a packet.

    How about somewhere in Italy?
    www.thetraveldepartment.ie have some great offers at the moment for 3/4 day trips. Oh Dubrovnik would be an interesting place too but not so many shops ...

    If you're only going for 3 or 4 days then long haul is out of the question cos you don't want to spend half of it in bed suffering from jetlag.
    Anyway, you'll spend one full day getting there and back to the US and 2 going to Asia. LOL.:)

    Try something diffferent, like Iceland or something like that.

    Rome?
    Nice?

    Okay. I'm now thinking Prague, as she was there before, and has always said she wants to go back.
    For my budget, I can get flights, and a really nice hotel.

    I've never been to Prague, so does this sound like a good option?

    Cheers.

    Prague is lovely but I thought Dubrovnik was actually the most romantic place I've ever been (and i was single there with a mate!). It's gorgeous, only 3 hrs away and not expensive really.

    But it's up to yourself!! :D

    I was in Prague a few years back and its visually a beautiful city but hasn't got a great atmosphere and I thought the people were pretty unfriendly.For my 2 cents I couldn't recommend Budapest more.Very beautiful city,so much to do and really friendly people.There is lots of great restaurants and bars too.I cant wait to go back sometime.
