Hello,

Just looking for recommendations for a long weekend break towards the end of March.

Went to Barcelona last year and although it rained it was awesome. Am thinking of Prague perhaps this year, any recommendations of where to stay/not to would be good... I like the aimless mooching around in the day time/good architecture/history etc and a good nightlife is important too... The cheaper the better too!

Thanks!

Seville? Lisbon? At least a fighting chance of reasonable weather.

Went to Seville last year for a few days, that was really nice too! I've been told that Spain is a no-no as I may be going later in the year! Not too fussed about the weather, as long as its not wet smile

Don't really fancy Edinburgh for some reason, and cheers for the linky!

have booked berlin for myself and some firends in march. was £67 return from stansted. big city, lots of history, cheaper nightlife than most euro capitals.

personally i'd leave the sunnier destinations until later in the year, go somewhere that fits the season. prague is great when its cold, nothing beats stepping through thick curtains into the warm fug of a beer hall.

Now Berlin sounds good! I've a few friends that have been there and sung its praises!

Can I be cheeky and ask where you got the deal?

ryanair.

to be honest the most expensive flight was £105 and that was with BA, just the flight times didn't suit our needs. easyjet is also cheap.

have been recommended this place to stay for that 30's weimar feel.
