Bruges - romantic, cutesy, interesting, beer, chocolate, beer, carriage rides, beer... recommended. And, if you go, use Eurostar - fairly comfy, cheap, and quick, with reasonable views. Did I mention the beer? And give Damme a go - nice canal trip.Originally posted by n5gooner View PostOK, I know I'm back from Hold's but need to get away again.

Alicante if you want some sun, sand and tapas. Been there 3 weekends this year! Best weather in Spain I reckon...
Amsterdam's quite romantic for the weekend, canal rides and quaint cafes and restaurantsDon't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.Comment

Florence is, I agree, a winner. But can be pricey. Be a cheapskate: Bruges!Originally posted by Muttley08 View PostFlorence or Venice?
