I’m looking at possible destinations for me and a couple of mates for 2 nights away later this year (~October). It must be somewhere close (<3hr flight from London) and relatively cheap. Here's my current shortlist:
  • Riga
  • Tallinn
  • Bratislava
  • Bruges
  • Oslo*
  • Seville
* I realise this isn’t particularly cheap place, but it’s very easy and cheap to get to which balances things out.

I’m most intrigued by Riga or Tallinn, but am slightly concerned about the popularity of them for stag do’s and the bad rep we’d get as a result - we’re not on a stag do, nor big drinkers but it will be a group of blokes so guilty by association and all that.

Any opinions on the above, or any other suggestions you’d throw into the ring? We’ve ruled out the following, either because one of us has been there, or wants to do it another time:
  • Italy
  • Prague
  • Paris
  • Lisbon
  • Barcelona
  • Amsterdam
  • Copenhagen
  • Stockholm
  • Vienna
  • Dublin
  • Budapest
  • Ljubljana
  • Krakow
  • Warsaw
  • Istanbul
