Advise me a holiday destination please!
My dad has a shitload of free flying miles left, and they expire in a few months. So he gave me permission to spend them. I'm planning to take some mates with me, but I don't really know where to go. It has to be a city in Europe, and one of SN airlines destinations (check them on www.flysn.com).
I'm looking for a destination that's not too expensive, and we will be camping so preferably a warm climate! Any advice? I was thinking Venice (which is expensive, but we're camping outside the city anyway...). Another candidate is Malta. Give me advice thanks!

Lissabon, Portugal. Heard a lot of good things about it and it's cheap. I might go next summer with some friends.

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
At some times in the year Venice really smells, so I have been told. But a must see before it sinks imo.
Sorry I cant give you a suggestion for where to go in Europe, its because I haven't travelled much around it.

Birmingham for the 'hilarity' factor.

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
I've been in Barcelona one day, maybe it was too short but I wasn't exactly impressed.

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
In fact I've seen Venice already, but too short and I'd like to go back.
And, from what I have heard, Rome is ****ING expensive!
There is also no way I'll go to rainy England
I'm evaluating lisbon now

I have been to Malta before and I would advise going there. As for where to go, what do you want to do there?

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
England sux so bad unless you go to London!
I'm from Liverpool...englands so depressing!
Your link doesnt show any direct flights to holland/amsterdam but you can get pretty close in europe....
if u can stomach a ferry/coach journey after the flight i'd highly recommend Amsterdam
choc full of liberalism, culture....and......jesus the women are sweet
been 3 times and each time my eyes got opened that little bit more, my mind got expanded a whole lot more, and i allways came back with a broad grin on my face and a head full of amazing memories
Visit the Banana Bar...i'll let your imignation figure out what goes on in there....
Just make sure your mum doesnt see the pictures of your visit!

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
CROATIA!
Seriously - go to Dubrovnik, it's an amazing place! or split, or pula or Hvar island or any one of the many islands - If you're camping it would be great!
Fly to Zagreb and get a bus from there to Split and get a boat from there (it's pretty cheap i must say!)
I have photos of croatia up here: http://community.webshots.com/user/stelaverick
Budapest or Prague are always good bets of course as well. For camping - Hungary and Czech Republic also have amazing countryside and lakes within easy visit distance of the capitals. oh and it's amazingly cheap there too
My girlfriend says Madrid is much better than Barcelona but she was born there so is a little biased she didn't really like Rome either...
EDIT - oh and why camping? hostels are warmer and not too expensive - £5-£10 a night for most of Europe...

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
I would say Berlin, very interesting city and not to expensive (quite alot cheaper than the rest of Germany). Not very warm climate though

Why should anyone go to Berlin when they have glorious Stockton on their doorstep.

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
I will propose Lissbon and Barcelona to my mates
I'd like to go to croatia, but it's not popular among the rest.

It's interesting how people in this thread have managed to spell 'Lisbon' in no less than four hundred different ways.

Re: Advise me a holiday destination please!
Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in the world in my opinion, as is Rome. Could not recommend these two more.
