2 night break. 2 ladies . help?

Hi All,

I'm trying to plan a couple of days away with my best friend. We are both in our thirties, but still up for having a nice drink, lovely food and then hitting the late night bars for a bit of a boogie too.

We want to go somewhere fun, but other than that have absolutely no preference as the main purpose is to have a great time away from home/kids/husbands! We want somewhere that we will feel safe as well.

We have been thinking about either city break (Madrid, Barcelona and Prague all shortlisted) or a sort of mini beach break (Benalmadena, Benidorm, somewhere in Majorca or Ibiza). We have only thought of these because we have read that they aren't as tacky as people think and have a lot more to offer than their images suggest??

Can anyone please advise us on where to go (so that I can stop spending hours on this site trying to trawl my way through the maze of possibilities!!)

Thanks

Emma

Dare I say that if you were going for a long weekend, I would suggest Prague! Beautiful city, lots to do and enough at night to keep you busy. If not there, then Benalmadena, but then I'm biased :wink:

I am not a city person but I really enjoyed Barcelona. It is an easy city to get around and the airport bus was great to get to the city. Many nice places to eat and lots of things to see

Hi

I would also concur with Benalmadena, I am older but still into having a drink and fun. I went on my own and though shy on my own I ventured by going into a small english bar and got chatting with the owners and then ended up by meeting people in there. I will almost certainly go back.

Hope this helps

Katherine :lol:

Hi again

I should have said I have also been to Barcelona. I have been twice with different female friends in the past two years. I enjoyed both times and the architecture is great but for a really fun weekend I think Benalmadena would have the edge. (unless you are going to see architecture)

Regards

Depending on your budget, I can recommend Peurto Banus, Marbella. Its got great beaches, fantastic nightlife and is very safe. Relatively expensive though but worth the extra if you can afford it.

Hi Emma

I went to Benidorm in December with friends and we luaghed from the minute we got in the taxi to the airport to the minute we got off the plane back home.
The weather was terrific and the nightlife was great.

I then went to Barcelona at the end of Feb and certainly can recommend it. It was terrific. Las Ramblas, sightseeing, Shopping you name it we did it.

Would certainly do Barcelona again - went with Globespan and stayed in the Douque Del Begara Hotel at the top of Las Ramblas. Couldn't have picked a perfect place for location. When we got off the bus from the airport the hotel was across the street.

The world is your oyster.

Enjoy whatever you choose you will have a ball.

Cheers

Carol
