BMW museum is a must in Munich

Hope you are ok. What did you lose? Munich is awesome, hope you enjoy it.

We were all sleeping at the time and he opened my bedroom door, thought it was one of my mates. He took off with a mates laptop and about 100 euros.

AirBnB

Munich isn't a bad place and I'm flying into there next month but I didn't find it that interesting from a tourist perspective.

I agree, I liked it but that was because it had a good vibe.

Museum after museum. Lots of history but yes can cover that in a day. Plan on biergarten and then biergarten. A very young city, lots of money as well it seems.

Life’s too short to returning to the same place … plenty more of the world to see

Unless you have family. Explains why people keep returning to the same place.

If you can use the family as a base of operations (in the nicest possible way lol) and make your way around and see other places, that would be ideal. Was going to do that until covid stuffed my whole trip up.

Some cities really appeal to me. I keep going back to cities like Budapest. It's one of my favourite cities to spend a good summers weekend in (or Christmas markets).

Any decent bars in Paris where I can watch the Matilda's? Looking for a good atmosphere

So 4 nights in Nice - ****ing sick place. Not so much the city (although I did find some unreal natty wine/craft beer/great food), but the surrounding areas have some magical beaches. Great walking to the east over the hills. Funnily enough stayed in Ozz Hostel - can only recommend. At a price point where lots of the dickheads are filtered out, so you’ve either got super chilled nice people or introverts. Made 5 really good friends on the first day and stayed with them till the end. 10/10

Budget airline (Scoot, Jetstar) to Singapore then a major airline. Saves a packet. You can even get Scoot to some European destinations.

My Scoot flight was more comfortable then the Etihad one I had.

Agreed, huge fan of Nice and the surrounding areas. Mind you I was a big fan of the city itself, but you're right in that it's perfect for day trips. Went to Monaco one day, and of course that Villfranche Sur Mer (I think that's how it was spelt) by the beach, was amazing. Antibes of course looks amazing too, didn't get there however! I stayed at the Saint Villa Exupery Hostel - decent pub crawls too!

I guess it depends on what you like doing and whether you want to spend it in the snow such as Germany, Austria or Switzerland for example or whether you prefer milder weather in somewhere like Greece or Spain

I've got 36 hours in Sicily this weekend for work, including a drive from Palermo to Syracuse Saturday evening, and an overnight stay there, then a 3 hour drive back to Palermo to meet the Ferry at 21.30 sunday evening.

Anyone spent time there and could recommend?
