Any suggestions as to where I can take my wife for a weekend away for her 40th birthday - in Ireland or on continent - any suggestions welcomed am a bit stuck...Thanks.
With cheap Ryanair flights there are loads of options out there!
Here would be my suggestions
1. Rome - such a beautiful city a weekend isn't enough to see it!
2. Barcelona - another very pretty city - loads to do and to eat out is quite cheap!
3. Prague - would recommend going to an opera in the Prague Opera House - even if you're not into opera the building is stunning and the atmosphere wonderful! Stay in the old town - we stayed off Wencelas Square where the Sex Industry is really in your face!
4. London - short flight and plenty of great shows to catch!!!
5. Amsterdam - a visit to the coffee shops are a must ;-)
She has been to most European cities - favourites are Rome, Venice, Krakow, Prague. Loves museums, good food. Was thinking a spa weekend mightbe good ???
How about Vienna. Millions of museums, impressive buildings, fabulous food, not overly expensive, very clean, safe and easy to get around. Lots of classical music concerts, opera, musicals etc. Lots to see and do.
have to say when we went to venice it was spectacular but if i was really interested in her enjoyment i might send her away with some friends to biarritz so cheap to get to and so much value for money for what women want
I went to the G Hotel in Galway for my 40th.....with the girls!!!...while my hubby minded the kids. Now that was what I really wanted - gorgeous hotel, amazing spa, great food and shopping in Galway. Heaven! And not a nappy or crying child in sight. My advice would be to ask her what she'd really like to do. Good luck.
Lucky girl! I've been to Temple and Monart and both are lovely. Temple if you would like her to really relax and unwind and Monart if you're less concerned about getting full access to treatments and more into luxurious rooms. Both are wow though. Its about which is handier for you to get to I suppose> Again, lucky lady!
