Venice.

Best place I've ever been. Much preferred it to Rome, Paris etc. I went in Jan and it's perfect because it isn't crowded and the water doesn't smell in the cold.

What about Edinburgh or Glasgow? Loads of history and apart from the language barrier at least they use the same currency! Grin

Glasgow's supposed to be a cracking night out as well.

Go to Budapest and get shook down for cash by transport cops on the underground!
Enjoy fist fights with mentalist fake tour guides at the palace!
Marvel at the accuracy of rocks thrown by the baboons at the zoo!

Glasgow is full of jakeys and you're likely to get stabbed. I don't recommend it if you have a strong London accent.

Oslo, Very nice City plenty of places to eat and drink, a little expensive though.

If you like Amsterdam you could go further south and visit Utrecht, it's a University city in Holland, loads of great restaurants and brilliant night life but also plenty of quieter places.

If you want somewhere closer go to Belfast, really friendly loads of history etc and the centre is really lively, go in the harp bars at night and there are live bands most nights.

If you want decent weather head to Portugal, pretty cheap to get there and quite cheap to eat and drink too. Locals are really friendly, stay away from the gypsy markets though full of thieves and chances.

Tickets to Lithuania are dirt cheap - Ł39 or something daft.
Very little population, Kaunas is a lot cheaper than Vilnius.
No rain there, either.
Economy is pants, so everything whilst you're there is cheap.

Seconded! Edinburgh is a lovely place but I was always getting grief in Glasgow thanks to my estuary twang.

What welcome should a Glaswegian expect when they come to London? 20% of us over here speak English!

This. There are some great spots during the day. Parks, universities etc. but at night it's a live firefight exercise.

For tourists I'd recommend Edinbugger more. Rose street is ok for a night out.
