English Speaking EU Holidays

ste_bla · 21 Jul 2008 at 19:54

Wife + Sister + Sister wish to go on a holiday for 4/5 nights, fully inclusive. The would like somewhere warm in Sept and safe (crime wise). Also none of them speak any language except German (they don't want to go to Germany). Any suggestions of places to go as I only know UK, Oz and NZ?

Try www.expedia.co.uk and to be honest, the majority of Europe have a population that speaks English...

Tbh pretty much everywhere in eu just speaking English wont be a problem. I can say from personal experience that Prague is a very nice place.

Edit - Too late

Thats where im looking and theres loads of places that are within budget but to be honest I know nothing of mainland Europe :confused:

Most tourist places will have everything in English as well as the native language. I've been to Germany a few times with people who barely speak a word of German and it has never been a problem, it's a lovely country too.

Go to Gothenburg in Sweden, it's lovely, and should still be warmish ^^

Okay, i'll give you a hand...any particular culture or country they like the look of? From Spain to the South of France? Something cheaper like Prague or other parts of Eastern Europe on the Red Sea side of things?

I'm off to Barcelona soon.

They were thinking of Spain but not sure where. They are not going for night party types things, just a quiet place which has a few local attractions/tours a little shopping and some nice beaches.

Even if you to outer mongolia you still get English speaking people. Don't worry about it, and that's half the charm.

Prague or Germany would be my choice.

Does there have to be a beach? Granada has plenty to look at and is southern Spain, so quite hot. No beaches though, its a little way inland. The Sierra Nevada national park isn't far and the Alhambra is beautiful.

No there doesnt, but there has to be somewhere to just relax as such
