Tempted by the below in Malta. Seems a bit cheap, says it’s went under €40m renovations and opening up again on the 1st June. Idk if that’s why it’s cheap since it’s been closed for a while. Qawra doesn’t seem too downbeat of a place either so should be lively enough.

£2850 on lastminute.com for 2 weeks all inclusive including the ludicrous Ryanair baggage charges. Or £3250 with jet2 but from Glasgow which is a ballache compared to Edinburgh airport but at least it’s not Ryanair lol
48 hours in Stockholm. What's good?
Your going to pay that sort of money for that dump, crazy.
Good luck finding anywhere remotely decent for under £3500 for a fortnight when the kids are off on holiday. Prices are definitely more this year as well as the hotel I stayed in last year in Tenerife cost £2800 all in and now for the same dates is £4500.
Edit: that is AI of course. I'd rather just go Half Board at most but woman get what woman want.
Give her a slap. Get a pukka villa instead.

This place looks alright too, but about £500 more. Will end up going on another cruise at this rate. Aegean Sea one's do look class in Summer tbf
We've just paid £2300 for a 4* in Gran Canaria (All Inc and free entry to the local waterpark all week). After seeing the price I was pretty ready to
But
Booked a few nights in Seville at the end of July on a whim.
Anyone been?
Vasa Museum is actually pretty incredible. Are you solo or not?
Yes. Booked it on a whim also, cos I'm fly like that.
You will melt son.
yktv
Seville is probably my favourite city in Europe (don't let that put you off). Just eat all the tapas and do whatever else you want.
I am solo. Staying in Sodermalm I think.
I don't mind hot places provided the room has aircon, which it does.
It's immense. Just mooching about eating/drinking is the order of business, but don't miss:
- Cathedral tour is pretty cool (you can go up all into the rooftops and balconies)
- Alcazar is great as well
- Also, the Flamenco museum was enjoyable
Götgatan will be your main Södermalm shopping street but most shopping is around Sergels Torg. The old town (Gamla Stan) + the royal castle is well worth exploring, although the main pedestrian street is pretty touristy.
I am solo. Staying in Sodermalm I think.
Best view is from Skinnarviksberget, you get to it from the Hornsgatan direction, will be quite popular during summer sunsets.
Food recs solo is tricky, but I love the guys that run Racamaca, they have expanded in recent years but still have solid quality and not full on "sit at a restaurant by myself" vibes.
I went to Seville for United and can recommend the McDonald's.
No idea what that town is like, but it's about an hours bus/forty euro taxi from anywhere else worth seeing, so bear that in mind.
Aye. Is it lively enough or is that more towards Valletta? Someone I know told me to go to Bugibba if I go and that’s about 15 mins walk away or something.
I’ll go to Gozo one day and maybe the water park if it is any good but honestly haven’t looked at anything else beyond that. As long as there is sun, beers and food I’ll be happy.
You do know Malta is full of 80 year olds, right? No where will be 'lively'.
Did you not know that, Waff?
I thought it was full of twitch streamers and gamblers lol
My mate went there and had a great time. Bam's just a spastic.
Booked the 2nd hotel I linked after Bam’s wise words.
5th holiday since April last year. Would have had a house by now if I didn’t bother but what’s the point in life without holidays
Naples is an amazing place. Great food, great architecture and just a fantastic vibe. Stadio Diego Armando Maradona is a shithole.
On to Rome....
I thought Naples was a shit hole? I've never been, just thought that's what everyone says. Maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else.
Loved Rome.
I've only ever heard that Naples is indeed a massive shithole. I've heard the same of Rome, mind.
Naples is fantastic and it being a bit of a shithole is an endearing part of that.
I thought Yev went there at one point and said it was good.
It kinda is a shithole, but in a very endearing way.
The only part of Rome I didn't like was right around the train station, but then areas around stations tend to be sketchy at best everywhere you go. Gare du Nord in Paris is one of the worst I've seen, proper air of menace to it.
Ditto for the station at Naples. Proper dodgy, including one guy walking around shouting "terrorist motherfuckers, die".
Avoided him.
Encourage him for his excellent English.

Frankfurt and Düsseldorf are fantastic horror shows. Both with a great assortment of heroin
My fondest memories while walking around Naples are of stepping onto the road to get around the massive piles of rubbish in the middle of the footpath.
Once you get out to Positano and the Amalfi Coast though. Stunning.
Any company (and any other) recommendations for renting a car in Europe? Spain's public transport seems terrible so hiring a car makes sense.
Depends on your budget and where exactly you're going, but I wouldn't get anything too enormous as it makes underground parking rather stressful. I've driven a DS3 (massive), Captur (medium sized) and a Peugeot 2008 (large) over there and I definitely preferred the Captur of the three. Diesel if you're going long distances, petrol better if you're staying in the same area.
Hire companies are much of a muchness I think, you get good and bad experiences with all of them.
Yeah, I'm just a bit cautious of the cheaper options (like Goldcar) which seem a bit too good to be true.
Never used such people but I would assume that they'll ping you aggressively for extras / 'scratches' to make their money. I'm a peace of mind guy so would go with an established name. Used Avis, Hertz and Sixt, all fine.
I've settled on Sixt the last few times and have never had a bother.
Sound, I'll probably go with Sixt then. Cheers boys.
I'm in Kenmare at the moment and fully loving Ireland. Everywhere you go there's somebody playing the fiddle, Guinness is elite and everybody is friendly af. I dunno how we ended up with Giggles.
Seville is absolutely beautiful.
We got lucky with the weather as it was "only" 32-35ish whilst we were there, but was hitting 39-41 in the days either side.
We were in lake Garda last week, weather report before we went said the first half of the week would be thunderstorms and it might clear up for the last few days but in the end we didn't see a single drop of rain. MSM at it again
