Cancuun/PDC/RM area? If so do Coba. Best of the ruins to visit. When we went we could climb it but I’m not sure if that’s still the case now.

Vilnius is the coldest place I’ve ever been. First visit resembled the scene in the airport in Cool Runnings where they put all their clothes on pretty much as soon as the plane door opened. Nice place. Riga was worth a visit too and so was Kaliningrad although I wouldn’t recommend that now! Doing Tallinn in October when we do Finland away in October.To complete the Baltic trio, went to Vilnius in February a few years back.
It was positively Dickensian. Asked the taxi driver if it had been snowing long.
"About three months" he replied.
Lovely place, but fucking cold in the winter.
If you like that area of the world, then Google 'Baltic chain'. Truly remarkable.
Riviera Maya went 20 years ago for our honeymoon we went to Chichen Itza so thought it was time to go backCancuun/PDC/RM area? If so do Coba. Best of the ruins to visit. When we went we could climb it but I’m not sure if that’s still the case now.
Lovely City Malaga...may be an urban myth but I've read it's not unusual to see a fair few Coventry shirts at Malaga games.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.

Colder than Wycombe away?Vilnius is the coldest place I’ve ever been.

Any German city or Krakow are good. If the budgets low, train to BirminghamAny recommendations for a city break/Christmas market.
I've heard it's dead in there, but it's ok if you enjoy the silence.Colder than Wycombe away?
Get yourself to the Depeche Mode bar in Tallinn
Much colder. The player’s water bottles froze.Colder than Wycombe away?

Love PolandBooked to go to Poznan for 3 nights in September.
Ridiculously cheap flights from Luton with gods departure and arrival times as well.
Poland is fantastic, we go at least 3 times a year, Poznan is absolutely beautiful btw.Love PolandPoznan meant to be a great City, been Gdansk, Warsaw and Krakow, your money goes so much further
Can recommend Wroclaw too.Poland is fantastic, we go at least 3 times a year, Poznan is absolutely beautiful btw.
If only it wasn't so hard to pronounce!!Can recommend Wroclaw too.
I’ve technically been (spent about 2 hours there doing a presentation) but really looking forward to spending a bit of time there.Poland is fantastic, we go at least 3 times a year, Poznan is absolutely beautiful btw.

Any recommendations on bars/restaurants?
Tallin's my ancestral home, and as a citizen of Estonia, I have to say it'd be my choiceVilnius is the coldest place I’ve ever been.

I went to AC Milan vs Verona years ago & bought tickets on the day from a kiosk outside the San Siro. There were loads of touts, who all seemed to be pensioners trying to sell me tickets as soon as we got to the stadium. They used to keep tickets back to sell on the day as a way of trying to beat the toutsLooking at going to Florence in February and wondered if anyone had any experience of watching Serie A? I am presuming it should be easy enough to get a ticket for Fiorentina matches (unless they're playing Juventus etc) but what's it like as an experience? Potentially looking to take my son too who is 8.
I’ve got a friend who supports Fiorentina; if you DM me early next week to remind me I will ask him.Looking at going to Florence in February and wondered if anyone had any experience of watching Serie A?

We went to watch Bologna a few years ago and it was pretty good. Pyro and bouncies from the away fans and home fans behind the goal, the rest was normal.Looking at going to Florence in February and wondered if anyone had any experience of watching Serie A?

I think Palermo's ground is overlooked by mountains and there are a few others that look interesting, such as Venezia. It's a shame that most seem to have a running track round them and very rarely get redeveloped but i would like to experience a game out there.I went to a match at Como's home ground a few years back. Beautiful setting for a stadium, right next to the lake.
I used to go and watch Palermo every now and then and they’re probably my favourite Italian team. The Sicilian derby is insane.I think Palermo's ground is overlooked by mountains and there are a few others that look interesting, such as Venezia.

What are Palermo and Catania like to visit generally? I've always liked the Palermo kits, get the impression they've suffered from terrible ownership over the years (not exactly unique in Italy) and they had an absolutely fantastic team on one of the FM games, Caracciolo, Grosso, Barzagli sort of era i think it was.I used to go and watch Palermo every now and then and they’re probably my favourite Italian team.

I really like Palermo and it’s one of my favourite Italian cities and there’s plenty to see in the city. Catania is ok and it’s more walkable and compact but there’s less to do in the city. As with all large towns and cities in the south and Sicily, they’re chaotic and not the cleanest.What are Palermo and Catania like to visit generally?

Bumped into one in Montenegro.On hols in Tenerife at the moment and came across another city fan at the hotel. In years gone by you'd rarely see another cov fan out side of cov. The fan base is definitely growing.
Cheers for the info mate, i havent been to Sicily but it's certainly on the list and pretty high up it. If your mate has much of note to say about the Fiorentina games that'd be great to know too.I really like Palermo and it’s one of my favourite Italian cities and there’s plenty to see in the city.

If you’re looking for things to do in the surrounding area and not just in the city, Catania is probably the better of the two and you can also go up Etna, which is fantastic. There are excellent transport links (cheap, regular buses) from Catania airport and the main city station across the whole island.
I expect to see Palermo back in Serie A within the next few seasons.
