Dubrovnik is cheap to get to although not necessarily cheap to be in but it's a must visit.
Ah Joe €4…would you get a glass of Guinness in Dublin for that?used to regard Lisbon as a very good value city break, however they have introduced a tourist tax, it was 2 euros per head per night however they have now doubled it to 4 euro per head per night. That is very steep and people will really notice it next year, it only went to 4 euro in september
In fairness, if two people stay three nights, that’s €24 and a bit of a kick in the backside on your way out. You could get a flight for that if you play your cards right.Ah Joe €4…would you get a glass of Guinness in Dublin for that?
I also like Spain. Have been to San Sebastian, Bilbao, Madrid and Seville, twice, all nice city breaks and yes to off season as it is too hot for me in the summer months..Ah Joe €4…would you get a glass of Guinness in Dublin for that?
Brendan can let us know when he goes to the stags head for the Xmas drinks.
I have to recommend Spain… been in Valencia, Murcia, Granada, Cartenena, Malaga and Seville…one better than the next.
Food, accommodation and wine..just stay out season
Exactly, it's a few drinks or coffees alternatively. Also lisbon being good value relatively for other things makes this tourist tax stick out like a sore thumb. Most accommodation doesn't include it in the advertised price, you pay it after booking and on arrival so it can be a bit of a shock. Its been doubled from 2 to 4 euros aswell so probably won't be an issue until next year as most people won't have paid it yetIn fairness, if two people stay three nights, that’s €24 and a bit of a kick in the backside on your way out.
