Hi guys!

 

I'm planning a holiday for sometime this summer. I went through loads of cities and towns in Google Maps and travel blogs, but there's too many choices to pick from.... Would you help me choose? grin

 

The criteria I have:

  • Relatively good weather (sunshine!)
  • I want to sit in nice little cafes
  • About 3 days max. in one place
  • Some green areas
  • Peaceful and relaxing urban atmosphere! (if that exists? haha)

Someone suggested Philadelphia for the cafes and nice atmosphere. Have you been? It's a bit far though even though sounds tempting. Are there any nice towns around the UK that I could visit perhaps based on your experience?

 

Any advice appreciated! Cheers

I'm heading to Berlin this summer for my second visit. Really looking forward to being there in the sun this time and looking around with a friend who moved there a couple of years ago. It's fantastic for finding things to do - touristy and non-touristy, great for cafes, and has the best museum I've ever been to in the Jewish Museum.

Not to mention the fantastic beach bars on top of the hotels and alongside the Berlin Wall. Sites of some great movies too.

Great looking list!

 

We are staying 7 nights in a spa hotel, this might be too long, but we are using it as a base to explore, just spotted a day trip to Tangier Mmmm

I had to google Tangier. Looks warm and sunny! Let's see when you get back from there if you can recommend it for the list! grin
