Anyone been to Italy?
- Thread starter bkingUK
- Start date
Have been looking at Europe for next year as well. We think we’ve narrowed it down to Amsterdam, Paris, Rome or London with Amsterdam in the lead right now simply because we don’t know many people who have been there. Air fares and hotels are really reasonable right now.
Sounds kinda lame.
I’ve been to Barcelona, Madrid, Majorca, and Ibiza. Majorca and Ibiza are hands down the best part. My parents have been to the azores ( islands 600 miles of the coast of Portugal and love it.
What do you want out of your honeymoon? What’s your idea of the perfect trip?
Spain is a safe area, for the most part. But the tourist traps will be filled with people who are looking to pickpocket you at unsuspecting moments. Barcelona is known as the pickpocket capital of the world (read that they average over 6,000 thefts per day in the tourist season). Happened to my wife before we met.
My wife lived in Barcelona for a little while. Will get some info from her tonight and share. I will say that she is always talking about wanting to go back. One of her favorite places.
My aunt lives in Barcelona. I think she has a spare bedroom if you want me to ask.
Would rather spend Thanksgiving in Germany with UNCfan in ky wife.
Went to Spain about 11 years ago. Barcelona is nice but it gets old after 3 or 4 days. I can't recall names of the 2 beach towns we made day trips too. But they were way better than Barcelona , so just pick some recommended beach towns and go.
Check out Mallorca if you can , it's an island and nightlife is pretty strong. Plus it's pretty affordable and it's relatively quiet and very beautiful.

Been to both a countries few times. Can't go wrong with either one. A lot depends on your age and interest. Barcelona is a very cool city but not sure that's where I'd go for beaches. It's a big, bustling city with a beach. The Spanish islands (Ibiza and Mallorca) are great. I really liked San Sebastian up North. The food is some of the best I've ever had and the area around it is really romantic if you're on your honeymoon. As for Portugal, my wife and I really enjoyed Lagos area. Lots of nice beaches and little beach towns. Feel free to pm me if you have questions.
Wife and I are going to Belgium , Switzerland , and Italy in late September/October. We are going to Cinque Terre , Italy when we are in Italy and have heard nothing but rave reviews about the place. I am sure you can find cheap options to fly into somewhere close by.
Yea. Give her a call. They say couples who have threesomes never make it, but testing that on our honeymoon is a solid way to find out.
That first pic is pretty incredible. Amazing.Wife and I are going to Belgium , Switzerland , and Italy in late September/October.

I am pretty stoked about it. I am a huge beer enthusiast so I am gonna enjoy the hell out of Belgium and Switzerland is beautiful too. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't most excited about Italy. Hence why it's the last leg of the trip.

Leave it to an Arkansasian to bring up incest.
Was wondering if i was the only one who heard this in their head when they read the thread title.
I still haven't been to either Spain or Portugal, although my wife has been to both and says we need to go there. It looks like we're doing Edinburgh, St. Andrews and the highlands of Scotland next month so if anybody has recs on those places, I would appreciate it.
Never been to Italy either but those pics look amazing. My wife says we need to go to Croatia and Albania though instead of Italy. It's supposed to be the same scenery as Italy only cheaper and with less tourism. More opps to mingle with locals who don't see many Americans. Maybe not Croatia so much, but certainly Albania. Anybody visit either of those places?

I went in June and the water is tolerable, but its not bahamas/Caribbean warm at all
Budapest in the summer , bang for your buck and beauty it's hard to beat.
Been there already. That is a city I’d love to get back to. I now know not to go back to the bathhouse when I go back. What a waste of time that was. Everything else was pretty incredible though.

Just booked flight to Rome and will be going to Cinque Terre actually. ScottsDeals... helluva website
Tell us about it. I just went to it for the first time. Are those deals legit? It’s claiming a round trip ticket to Thailand for $400. How long are these layovers? Ain’t trying to save $300 by sitting in an airport for 11 hours. Do you have to join in order to search and book?
I have been to Italy, but I would prefer the Greek isles for beaches. Look into Naxos.
Lived in northern Italy for a couple years and Sardinia for 3 months. Sardinia is a great vacation spot with awesome beaches. I stayed in Cagliari.
I’ve been to Amsterdam at least a dozen times. Great museums on every block. The whores are top notch too.
