Parklife Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Culture isn't exclusive to fancy building exteriors and paintings. Agree totally. Link to comment
Poodler Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 If thats your opinions of the patrons here then perhaps you should fuck off to a site for easily offended bent types. Plenty globetrotters on here. I love globetrotting. Particularly booking the day before going, no accommodation, completely wing it, pished every day, shagging in hostels. The good life.

Bluto10 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 aye it’s all about traveling and relaxing for moi Occasionally deliberately ignore boring landmarks in favour of eating and drinking like a local. Still a culture vulture tho Link to comment
DelMonte Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Gdansk for me. No particular reason, it's cheap to fly to from Aberdeen and is decent for bars. Went to Tallinn and thought it was horrendous. Knew I was in a shithole as soon as the plane landed. Link to comment
NEM Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Gdansk for me. No particular reason, it's cheap to fly to from Aberdeen and is decent for bars. Booked up to go there in February. Any tips? Link to comment
DelMonte Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Booked up to go there in February. Any tips?There's a fair few bars round old town which are decent enough. Plenty places to sit outside, maybe nae the best in February but there's plenty patio heaters so it would be fine. We ended up at a bar called Cooltura at the end of each night which is a bit of a weird place but I quite liked it. You can get the train to Sopot for a day which is lively but it's a bit more expensive than Gdansk. The strippers are a bit dodgy. The one in the main square got raided for spiking people and wiping credit cards...may or may not put you off. Best thing about it is how cheap it is. We stayed in a very nice apartment for about 80 quid each for 5 nights. Food and drink are very cheap also which is ace. Weirdly I wouldn't say it's got exceptional nightlife or anything but something about the place I really like. 1 Link to comment

Going with the Mrs so might have to give the dodgy strippers a swerve, never say never though Link to comment
dave_min Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Edinburgh and Glasgow included. Interesting, but i think they are both good places to visit. https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/blog/most-excellent-cities/7/10 Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Price of pints is irrelevant quality more importantBut then in great countries with poor beer, drink something else. Different drinks... different needs Link to comment

YorkDon Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Ive loved Munich the twice Ive been there,tho I was pretty much pissed the whole time I was there.York is a cracking city,im biased obviously,but for somewhere compact,with a pub at every glance,hundreds of years of history,a racecourse and a river running through it,great food-its tough to beat in the uk... http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-43448590 Link to comment
redstrummer Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Gotta say the WC has made me curious about Moscow for a visit. Was there in 95 for a Scotland game , some trip with 30 odd of us from Aberdeen heading over Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Agreed York is decent.No issues with a city like york Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 York is superb for a weekend, so is Leeds. Link to comment
manboobs109 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Munich is tremendous, I presume you've been to Oktoberfest Bloots? Fucking loved it when I was there, busy as fuck though. Link to comment
dervish Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Belfast has a sense that if your not canny you can end up in trouble. You'll be drinking with folk that did a couple of tours in radgeistan but the fannys have been thinned out. Link to comment

RAZOR Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 York is superb for a weekend, so is Leeds.Always wondered how York ended up having such a shite fitba team. Link to comment
dervish Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Lisbon. Sun, great food and if you are alright they'll be alright. At first some might not be fucked they are worth the effort. Easily one of the best city's.Almost like Aberdeen. Link to comment

YorkDon Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Always wondered how York ended up having such a shite fitba team. Its always been a lack of real investment really.The stadium is in the heart of the city,or was.Theyre building a community stadium at the mo,so old ground will be sold off for £millions-possibly to pay for Jackie McNamara wage thieving activities.Will be interesting to see if any is reinvested in the playing side.They used have a decent core home support of about 3-4K which at lower league level is decent.Leeds United are only 45 mins or so away so that takes some of the locals away,glory hunting cunts,kind of...

Parklife Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 A reasonable argument but cheap pints would most likely offend ParkyYou just keep saying that I'm offended, when I've said nothing of the sort. You incapable of thinking up any other patter? Anyway, favourite places I've visited (in no particular order): - Barcelona- Berlin- New York - Paris - Venice - Rome - Toronto Places I'm nae so keen on: - Edinburgh - Marseille - Milan Looking forward to visiting the Basque Country in a couple of months. Edit: I should add London as a top place. Forgot since I'm there every week. Link to comment
