Need to book something for my wife's 40th next January preferably a citybreak around that time. It's not usually a time of year we'd head away has anyone any ideas of what to do??

Was thinking New York maybe but I'm thinking January wouldn't be the best time. All recommendations welcome.

PS. Not winter sun would rather be doing something.
Skiing  ;D

Miami.

Vegas!

Had conversation with someone the other day about Lisbon, was interested in going and he said it was worse than Barcelona for pickpockets!

We have been in Lisbon twice over the last few years and never  had any issues ourselves but have heard  of some of the popular tourist trams being rife with pickpockets

You need to organise yourself on the presumption that pickpockets are about, especially in summer. In winter it is easier when wearing a jacket.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

If youre on the packed tram without your wallet in your front pocket and your hand in it you deserve to be pickpocket!

I found no issue there...class city

Get the yellow tram round the city at 8am...avoid the queues

What i would say is...go to Bruges. Done every european city nearly....for a relaxing chilled time its the best

Any good bars to watch the GAA in Salou area? We're gonna  be between Salou & Cambrils.

Targetman

Go to the Danny Bhoy, good bar for sport and serve good food, entertainment at night if you fancy it, had a few sessions there last year!!

The Bearded One

Looking some advice on a decent pub in the Albufeira/Vilamoura areas to watch GAA games.

I realise most places will be able to show games but I am hoping to go somewhere with a decent crowd and atmosphere to watch a few games when I am away on my holidays.
It is what it is. Presumably.

Cant recall the name of the bar but I remember watching an AIF in Villamoura. The bar was located at the very far end of the marina so keep walking around and start looking around yourself when there is only a few hundred yards left to walk!
