    I want to head away for a few days from saturday 13th August for maybe 5 nights or so. Depending on price!

    i want somwhere that aint going to cost a fortune as the other half if hoping t come and he will only be back from gran canaria a few weeks before!

    So has anyone any ideas for a nice couple break away but with a decent kind of night life?

    Do what I do. Go to Ryanair. Pick your outbound airport - Dublin for a good selection. Check through all the cities that they fly to from there that you might fancy and pick the cheapest. I've got me a lovely holiday many a time this way - going to Sweden next week for €27. The bonus of searching this way is that you end up seeing somewhere you mightn't have otherwise gone to because you're looking through the site with an open mind rather than going on there with a specific destination in mind.

    Ryanair + Travelodge = London

    Morocco

    A great Value Holiday Destination.

    Sun and sea, but also Mountains, Desert, Ancient cities aswell as small fortiefied towns.
    Great food and friendly people.

    If your criteria is mainly based on price, Id go Bulgaria or Prague

    Totally agree :D We've been to lots of places we'd never "pick" and always have a brilliant time. (oldies too btw)

    A private room in a hostel makes the holiday great value. Just cross reference your flight and check for hostels (Hostelworld or Hostelbookers)

    Yes book your flights with Ryanair, then try alpharooms/ booking.com for hotel or apartment and resorthoppa for transfers to/from the airport. Those are all great value/cheap websites.
    Enjoy your holidays :)!!

    Been looking on Alpharooms (flights and accomidation) for september, the second week (5th until 12th) And anywhere i seem to look at has been coming up 450 upwards. im looking more in the regain of 350 for somewhere with a good nightlife and Sun because ive Never been on a sun holiday!
    Anyone any places for me? Euro Zone Only

    is it august or september you're going? your first post said august.

    don't do a combined trip, book flight as per instructions on ryanair and then get a room elsewhere.

    if it is september and you're not fussed where you go apart from needing sun/nightlife/350e wait and try and pick up a last minute booking in the last week in august.
