Where would you go?

Berlin is awesome, but I'm off to Barcelona in August for a long weekend. Paid £140 for flights and hotels are really quite cheap.

Fantastic city, was there a few weeks ago. I'm sure you've done your research but I recommend getting the T10 Metro Card (can use it from the airport to the centre as well). We went for two nights/3days and could have stayed for a week and more!
 
Berlin is good fun.

Belgrade looks really nice and probably isn't too expensive...

I want to go to Sarajevo but I'm pretty sure Bosnia isn't the best place to hang out yet.

I just came back from 2 weeks travelling the balkans, we spent 2 nights in belgrade, then to sarajevo for 2 nights, we loved it, travelled to another place in bosnia called mostar, very beautiful countryside. Then, we were supposed to go to monenegro, but we liked sarajevo so much, we went back and stayed another 6 nights there. My third favourite city in the world, its awesome. They have rejected western culture, so if you are looking for high street shops, mcdonalds, kfc, starbucks, then you will be sorely dissapointed. If you are looking for a city with plenty of local food and bars, where muslims, catholics and orthodox have an equal share of the population, creating a strange but very relaxed and friendly culture - then sarajevo it is!

I think it was in the top 10 lonely planet places to visit in the world last year, which I took with a pinch of salt but once I arrived there...

I dont think I have felt safer or been in such a friendly place in my life. This surprised me even more when you learn about its recent history.

I miss sarajevo :(

There is also lots of romantic countryside to visit, like a massive road lined with trees that used to be franz ferdinands palace and plenty of out of the way springs and waterfalls.

Although be careful taking your girlfriend, make sure you wear sunglasses because the girls there...

(maybe two if I fancy taking the gf)...rekon it would probably be a bit awkward eating for one in a restaurant.
You're thinking of taking your gf purely because you dont want to look awkward eating alone in a resteraunt?
She's a lucky girl!
 
How about Istanbul?

Fantastic city - the old and new areas. The old parts of the city are fascinating and you can really lose yourself wandering around the nooks, small streets and markets.

A visit to a Hamam is quite an exerience as really worth it!
 
Would be a Chernobyl tour and a night or two in a hostel. Hostels are amazing, just meet random other people traveling and get smashed together, random parties. Awesome fun.
 
Yeah because there are hostels right next to Chernobyl of course.

I didn't say there were. You can party outside of your hostel...

The point I'm making is a Chernobyl tour doesn't really seem like a time to get ****** up and party. There's much better places for that.
