Romantic getaway to Paris??

Leitrim, you'll appreciate your home much more when you return.

Was in Krakow a few weeks ago. Great spot, buurds are savage, booze is cheap as is accommodation (we rented an apartment for €200 for 5 days). Stare Miasto is the best area to stay in, it's where most of the nightlife is at. Flights there aren't the cheapest, and the time might not suit, what with the Euros an' all.. but def one to bear in mind for the next time..

IMO Krakow is quite similar to Prague, but much cheaper and locals are less apt to take advantage of tourists.

Nah Krakow is like Dublin except not as many poles.

Thanks lads, it's lads really and I'm not sure about Paris, never been though. I remember once my flight was cancelled as we were queuing due to bad weather, gutted at the time!

I've done Prague, Krakow, Berlin, Madrid, Vienna, Frankfurt, Budapest, Valencia, suppose I'm looking for new ideas.

Any chance you could use 'visited' or 'been to' next time. 'Done' really is a ridiculous thing to say. Reminds me of too many tw@ts going on about 'oh yeah, you can 'do' Rome/Madrid/Paris/wherever, in two days etc. Now let me get my list so I can put a check after each thing I've 'experienced'.

Paris is great and all, but for a lads weekend you're gonna need serious cash! Loads of good suggestions in this thread - Berlin's great, Glasgow's brilliant (may be biased on this one!), Praque, Amsterdam all great places. Try find somewhere that has more to it than stags going on the piss all day.

recyclops · 03-06-2012 12:06PM

Hamburg is a great spot but I found bouncers can be dicks towards groups of lads and won't allow them in pubs unless there are girls with em, though 99c bar is there and that place is amazing.

I've found that in Berlin too. Similar to here i suppose.

Yeah that's what I'm getting at, trying to steer away from the norm really.

Does it really matter? We're not 12 here.Merely trying to say I've been to a few places mentioned and want to try somewhere different.

nothing wrong with leitrim, carrick is good spot on a weekend night and the ballinamore week long festival is one of the best in the country

on topic just save up and do the oktoberfest in munich and then head south for a few days to fussen and check out the scenery
