Weekend away
 

Hey,

I've been seeing my girlfriend for about 6 months and we were talking about getting away for a long weekend at the end of August. We've discussed a few places and cant decide but i'm looking at the destinations that cheap flights run too. Somewhere cheap but a little classy, she's studying for a wine diploma so that has some bearing on the kind of place.

Any ideas? These are what I've come up with so far but any other ideas are welcomely received.

Of those, I've only been to Pisa. It's a cracking place for a romantic weekend. Great weather, wonderful ice-cream, fantastic wine, amazing architecture, quality food.
The Leaning Tower is far more impressive in reality than in photos too.
Definitely recommended.

Can I throw Barcelona into the pot? We were there a couple of years ago, and it's a stunningly beautiful city. Gaudi's cathedral.................wow. :shock:

I got return flights there for less than £40 each for a friend just a couple of months ago through Easyjet.

Other than that, out of your three options I've only been to Turin..............again, a beautiful place :D

Get along to Blackpool mate! Take her along to see Chubby Brown on the pier. Nice ride on a tram and a few hours laughing back at that bloke sat outside the funhouse.

Then if romance is in the air ,you can let her have your little stick of rock. :wink: :P

I voted Pisa but agree with Lissa Barcelona is great

newquay.

feels like your abroad, (compared to london and southend)
and long weekends can be had for as little as 80 quid.

Poland, hire some AK-47's shoot some cattle and get wasted :shock:

or

Prague is very nice your choice :wink:

I'd like to go there but she was there at the start of the year with friends. Again with Prague I was there not too long ago so would like to see somewhere new.

Oh how she loves the sugar!!

So its really between Turin and Pisa. Is Italy an expensive country in general or just comparable with the UK for eating out and drinking etc.

Cheers

Florence.

How about the Lake District or Edinburgh?
