    Hi all,
    Trying to knock down a destination for a long weekend (3 - 4 nights) at the start of April.

    We're a 30yo couple who act like 25 year olds when it comes to drinking :pac: We're the kind to get up early and explore sites / what a city has to offer, but like to explore nightlife / wine culture etc. during the evening / night.

    Neither have ever been to Lisbon so that's a big seller for us.

    Been to Barcelona 2 years ago but didn't get to explore properly because there was a massive group just on the p1ss all week.

    Been to Berlin 13 years ago and loved it... so much history / things to see etc.


    Lisbon is winning as we've never been, but i'm inclined to swing for Berlin as I suspect there's more to see (from a historical POV).

    Flight wise, all pretty much on par at the moment. Accom. wise we're looking at a max of €120 per night. While we could afford to go higher, we favour a private room in a hostel from a socialising point of view. So far, Lisbon seems to have plenty available at ~€60 per night and all have pub crawls etc..


    Come on boardsies, help me decide :pac:

    Been to all three, Lisbon is my favorite. And there are like two or three very worthy day trips outside the city worth doing also.

    For day trips you could go to Sintra (mansions and castles in the mountains), Cascais (small beach/seaside village) or Costa de Caparica (endless beach). Sintra is a must see especially the palace and the castle there, right beside each other. Get there first thing in the morning or after 4pm to avoid the surge of other tourists.
