This is a beautiful country

Priced centre parc. 1300 for 4 nights over midterm. 500 the week before and 430 the week after. I didn't look any more. Self catering would cost another few euro. Is it like tayto park where you have to pay for all the amusements then once you pay in

Last trip of the year. Heading to liverpool for a change

€1300 for 4 nights
My suggestion down in wexford wouldn't cost half that spa and breakfast included
You'd get 2 weeks in a decent place in the canaries for that all inclusive probably

I was in Krakow for a few days and really enjoyed it,the salt mines are incredible and Auschwitz is a couple of hours away,a depressing desolate visit but somewhere you’ll never forget.
Nightlife is lively,food is good,go for it!

Thanks for your reply. That's where I was thinking of going. Going to head off for 3 nights, is that enough?

Visited Dachau years ago.
It’s sobering stuff.

D day beaches and memorial sites too.

Humans can indeed be horrible to each other.

Got to Westport for 2 days in January, and Wexford for 3 in September. That's all my holidays for this year

Need to update. Going to Centre Parcs in a couple of weeks for 4 nights. Roosterwoman was influenced by some "celebrities" on Instagram and has decided it looks lovely done up for Christmas and that roosterbaby would like it. Costing about 550 for 4 nights in a 3 bedroom lodge near the middle of the place.

Was in auschwitz a few years ago in Dec and the place covered in snow..
Sobering is the word. Eerie.
Gets a lot of visitors in the summer which takes from it its said.
The smell of the open fires in the accommodation was so vivid.
Just like walking into the old dwelling in the farmyard. Absorbed into the timber.
+1 for krackow

I can recommend it anyway. The accommodation is excellent. Loads of stuff to do, even tho you pay for most stuff.

Another vote for Kraków here. But just back from a couple of days in Lisbon. Recommend as well. Good value Ryanair flights.

I was looking into it but the prices for flights is pricey.

Just seen this now...

We’re flying Cork - Katowice in March for small money (about 120 for 2 of us) Ryanair job...

I think it’s about 2hrs bus then from Katowice to Krakow?

Titanic museum is worth going to.
A Belfast Giants ice hockey game might me something different.

Ulster folk and transport museum.
Every type of transport under roof from trains to planes.

Whole 1800’s village to explore, various farmyards you can walk through and explore the houses, the forge is usually working over the weekends and the blacksmiths are super friendly.

If you want out doors stuff look up The Gobbins cliff walk, it’s a Victorian era tourist walk that’s been revamped. Common to see seals about it.

Down the country for a couple of days. Nothing wild. Not really a holiday either but a change of scenery but badly wanted all the same
