Guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 i will be going with the missus for a few weeks to europe over cristmas and new year, and i thought to spend a few days with her in some other place than just germany. only problem is that i don't know fuck all about europe ::. usually we spend some time in italy but my mate there is not there that time. so, i'm looking for some other place. can't go to the UK as it's not a schengen country. i dunno what i am really looking for (no beach holiday and no need to escape the winter, we go now as we acually haven't seen a winter for many years ) maybe some nice city/town at the sea where we can have some nice winterwalks. i have never been in northern europe/skandinavia, would like to have a look though. does anybody have some idea what could be intersting for us?

Straycat Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Problem with Scandinavia and especially with Sweden & Norway is that it's bloody expensive. What about Copenhagen? It's rather nice and a bit more 'liberal' and diverse than the rest of Scandinavia. I believe costs are a bit less as well... ...and it's close to Germany!

Ckrisg Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Fly I've always found Amsterdam is be a nice place to visit at Xmas. Usually a lot of markets, events in and around Dam Square, good bars and lots for the Culture minded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelgianBoy Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Fly, Its going to be cold enough here already..... So, why dont you do 1 or 2 citytrips ? Go to Rome, Barcelona or even madrid for a few days. Check www.virginexpress.com and they have lots of info on those cities as well as online bookings. I'll be on Samui thinking about you Cheers !

Guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 How about the mountains? Switzerland is great during the winter (Zurich, Geneva). Or skiing for a couple of days, should be a great fun too. Amsterdam is fun too (Coffe-shops if you are into it ), but imo too grey during this time of year. Paris is another option.

Guest lazyphil Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 I know you said somewhere other than Italy because your friend not around--but I must mention this place we stayed at in Lagundo in North Italy near Austrian border in the summer--it is a beautiful town that with some great walks--went up a cable car and walked pretty high up with amazing views--right opposite the guesthouse is a great pizza place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCgringo Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 If cold is not a problem , then Innsbruck or Switzerland (make sure her passport is OK there) The mediteranian coast would be nice but could be cold The Atlantic coast is cool weather anyway, and brutal cold if a storm is brewing...... price wise Prague is cheapest (again maybe passport problem for her) Amsterdam is easy as English is spoken most places Ohhh too many choices !

SiLeakHunt Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Why not take her to Northern Finland to see Santa at his village. Although it will be around -30 degrees C. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hello Flyonzewall, here an idea: www.leukerbad.ch There you can ski during the day and bath in the warm water of a hot spring in the evening. I think that it would be a wonderful experience for a thai girl to swim in a pool surounded by snowy mountains... Just an idea.
