Been to Bucharest, first impressions weren’t great but people were welcoming, and reasonably priced for a Capital City.Anyone been to Romania?
2025 ice hockey world championships are in Sfantu Gheorghe, was hoping it might be relatively affordable.
Last year we stayed in Val D’Europe and just took the RER into Paris when we wanted to. A bunch of quite cheap hotels and apart hotels which suited us nicely. Also just a stop away from Disney if that interests youPersuaded my partner to go to a gig in Paris to see a band I’ve become obsessed with (out of nowhere).
However I insisted it won’t cost much; flights I can get pretty cheap, but any hints/tips on reasonably priced places to stay?

What do you do for a job, if you don't mind me asking?Los Angeles and moved. No season ticket to me, another iFollow year!
Highlight of my trips home though to get to see the city so I usually try and cram in as many as I can
DM’d you mateWhat do you do for a job, if you don't mind me asking?
I was not at planning on going away this summer as we're now anticipating the arrival of baby #3
This constant pissing weather though is making me think about seeing what I could possibly get for as cheap as possible.
Any recommendations here for places to look?
Indeed, the request for cheap holidays is a long term one now!As I wise person once told me 'you'll never be rich having more than 2 kids', and they were right!
And on that bombshell, congratulations FP and family!
My kids left home 15/more years ago and I still go camping and staying on free French Aires de Camping Car.Indeed, the request for cheap holidays is a long term one now!
I went to Malaga about 6 or 7 years ago and thought the same. Great city!Away in Malaga at the moment flying back ready for the Oxford game. What a stunning City though, so clean, bars, restaurants shops all mixing together. The Market with tapas bars, museums, harbourside and a big long clean beach. One of my favourite Cities I've ever visited.
Ljubljana is a bit of a hidden gem.Any recommendations for a city break/Christmas market.
I think most people are aware of it just from being the airport for the resorts on the Costa del Sol which got a bad rep for boozed up Brits, but my ex-boss moved there so i know more about the city and sounds great.I went to Malaga about 6 or 7 years ago and thought the same. Great city!

The Coventry Christmas Market is set to dazzle visitors in 2024, running from November 18th through December 22nd. This vibrant event transforms the heart of the city into a winter wonderland.
Located primarily around Broadgate, the market offers a picturesque backdrop of twinkling lights and festive decorations. The central location makes it easily accessible for both locals and tourists alike.
Strolling through this charming area, you’ll discover delightful wooden chalets filled with unique gifts and delicious treats.
With ample space to explore, you can immerse yourself in the holiday spirit while enjoying live entertainment throughout your visit. Whether you’re shopping for others or treating yourself, there’s something special waiting just around every corner at this beloved market.
Most towns in northern France have some sort of market with a few more actual market stalls to buy stuff than Birmingham, which is exclusively beer, gluhwein, sausages and pissed-up chavs. Arras is a lovely city and their christmas market is pretty good. Only an hour from Calais, so can be done pretty cheaply.Any recommendations for a city break/Christmas market.
Ghent in Belgium is good, did that one last year and it was better than Brugge to be honest.
Nordic countries a bit more expensive but very magical if you're lucky to get some snow.
I like Brugge/Bruges as a city to go for three days or so, but can't see a Christmas market being any different to most cities, tbh.We visited Brugge last year and was majorly disappointed with it to be honest. Was getting close to windmilling a crowd of them at one point.
Annecy too is slightly different, Malaga is meant to be great at Christmas too, I'm really bigging it up I knowAny recommendations for a city break/Christmas market.
Annecy is beautiful - we make an overnight stop there when we are going skiing, and it is lovely in winter.Annecy too is slightly different, Malaga is meant to be great at Christmas too, I'm really bigging it up I know
Riga I loved but went in May, can be really cold in December the same as Tallin, both would be really Christmassy though.
To complete the Baltic trio, went to Vilnius in February a few years back.Annecy too is slightly different, Malaga is meant to be great at Christmas too, I'm really bigging it up I know
