    I know this is a broad enough question but anyone have any ideas for cheap weekends away in October?

    My idea of a good holiday would be getting up early and seeing the sights, then getting pissed as a newt at night time... so I'm not a very unique brand of tourist. Looking to head away with 3 or 4 lads.

    I should say preferably a European city..

    Any recommendations, or anyone see any good deals?

    Skyscanner. Enter your dates, Dublin > anywhere. Filter by cheapest first. Usually UK is cheapest, 40ish, followed by France & Spain. Amsterdam
    Berlin and Prague usually around the 150 mark. Flights are usually the main part. Prices could be dearer as its close to the time.
    Accommodation is usually ok depending on your standards. Four lads getting pissed then up early again should be no problem.
    Cheap places to get pissed with a few sights id go with Prague or Krakow.

    Should be able to get cheap enough flights to a few places and then you could book a 4 bed room in a hostel for example, shouldn't break the bank. Flights to Lisbon for example on Friday 17th to Monday 20th October are €100 at the moment and you could get a 4 bed dorm in a central, extremely high rated hostel for €58 each in total or a 5 bed dorm in a different high rated hostel for €47 each in total so you could get the whole holiday for about €160. The weather should be pleasant enough and standard pint prices are about €2.

    Krakow is a good shout too, probably more expensive to get to but similar pint/hostel prices. Budapest is another idea, flights €134 from 31st Oct to 3rd November, top rated hostel would be about €50 in total each and pints are around the €2 mark as well.

    Just a few ideas for you there, have been to all of em myself so can give further info if needed!

    Cheers for the help lads, I know it's laziness on my part but this is a really good start to go from!
