Suggestions for a few days away for my 18 year old son

[doopydug]

We are going on holiday next week to Mull but its a wee bit boring for him and wondered if there is anywhere you guys can think that an 18 year old might enjoy for 4-5 days next week?

Magaluf

Amsterdam?
Prague?

Just looking into Prague myself just now actually - good call. Magaluf and Benidorm on the radar too

Amsterdam
Krakow
Prague is on my radar too meant to be good

Being home 'alone' most likely

Berlin is a good long weekend with lots to see and do and though I prefer Amsterdam I think that is more suited to couples. Could do a lot worse than London, one of the top cities in the world as is Paris or Rome.

Looks like there is some good rock climbing on Mull , depends what sports you are into - maybe sea kayaking too.
Adventure type activities would appeal to an 18yr old.

Tenerife. Zoo, Water Park, Quad Biking and Jet Skiing all good fun

Does he have any hobbies?
It's no good us recommending something active if he has no interest in sports.

I had 5 nights in Budapest last November and really enjoyed it (weather was fine), fair bit of walking in the morning seeing the sights but by the afternoon we hit a couple of bars each day so swings and roundabouts. Going again in January with the intention to go to a shooting range (I've never used a firearm except in games).

On the opposite end, were off to Lanzarote next month for 5 nights for something a little more relaxing before Christmas chaos starts at work.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Any cheap Spanish nook of the world with easy clunge.

Problem with holidays.. Unless you know someone/what they like you can't really recommend.

I'd absolutely hate the stereotypical 18 year old holiday.


Some want a beach holiday, some want alcohol and a few holes, others sight seeing, city breaks, natural stuff, activities... So many options.

This. Loads of fishing, climbing, boat hire, snorkelling.

Lots of wildlife, dogfish, seals, edible crabs etc. around

Also whisky tours?

Does your son not have any mates he could go with, I'd imagine going to Magaluf etc. alone would be a bit crap for an 18 year old

Been to prague many times its great place and not expensive, plenty to see just dont go in anywhere someone is trying to talk you into going

yea....now I read that back....

Point being, once past the red light bit, which is 3 blocks, it's all canals, bars, coffee shops etc etc etc. Great to walk around with the Mrs, less so with your old man.
