San Sebatastian .
Those Basques have certainly got their priorities right on how to live life .
It has a dominant food culture and I can't think of a better night out than bar-hopping through the historic Parte Vieja .
The city is also blessed with surf beaches and on the doorstep of The Pyrennes & SW France .

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Seefeld in the Austrian Tirol. Gorgeous scenery, friendly locals and some glorious walks

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

Benidorm.

the post said nicest?

 

[JetsetJimbo]

Gotta +1 everyone who's said Prague, I loved it so much I moved here. Beautiful weather (most of the year), beautiful women, beautiful beer, beautiful city. The winters are serious though (but great if you're hankering after a "traditional" freezing snowy winter).

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Sorrento + Amalfi Coast including Positano & Ravello. Simply stunning.

 

[Rugrat]

Italian Lakes, specifically Stresa, Lake Magiorre

St Emillion and surrounding

Barcelona

Val D'Isere

 

[Deleted member 22389]

Zell am see, Austria in the winter and summer
MALCESINE, Lake Garda, Italy
Sorrento, Italy

I need a holiday now.

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Very tough but a few random choices:
St Jean De Luz: memories of a school exchange trip
Bologna; great food
Porto; spent a few days there last year and really liked it
Cephalonia: already mentioned on this thread and a lovely island
Paris; nothing quite like a day just losing yourself walking the streets
Dusseldorf: totally unexpected but was there on business and really liked it

 

[Noldi]

Positano in Italy is one on my list. Trident Platau above Chomonix where Switzerland, France and Italian borders meet but you have to hike no cars up there.

Slovenia

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Berlin, Barca, the Alps, Paris, Hamburg......

 

[mikeyjh]

So many good suggestions - I think Belgium is often underrated, Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp, Leuven all cracking places. Venice is right up there for me, one of the few places in the world that have left me gobsmacked.

This thread shows why I could never move to Oz, there's so much culture, history and natural beauty on our doorstep, couldn't ever leave this....

Italian Lakes, specifically Stresa, Lake Magiorre

St Emillion and surrounding

Barcelona

Val D'Isere

Good call for Lake Magiore and Stresa, spent a v. nice week there before moving on to Siena. Lake Orta was very nice as well, even though Donkey is apparently the local culinary delicacy!

 

[daveinprague]

Belgium is a good call.. I lived there for a couple of years, after company I was working for, moved there from Holland.. Was under the impression the place was boring, but far from it. Was a very nice surprise.

some of the coastline between Goteborg and Malmo is just fantastic crystal clear water and the women are not bad either
