  • So I'm back with the holiday questions...

    Does anyone have a recommendation for where to go for a long weekend in Italy in Feb?

    Excluded Cities: Venice, Florence

    Rome seems like the obvious choice but wondering about other places and have no knowledge of the country.

    It would literally be to escape London, so zero preferences in terms of activities, City, beach, country, whatever.

  • Milan? In a long weekend you could do it more justice than Rome I guess.

  • Don't go to Naples.
    Maybe go to Sorrento.

    I have a fond/blurry memory of it being nice either side of being totally wasted on Limoncello. (Compared to the not fond/crystal clear sober memory of pulling an acquaintance away from an idiot with a small knife in Naples)

  • Bologna, and eat everything.
    Looks a bit chilly in Feb - maybe just keep eating to stay warm.

  • Bilbao.

    Great city, great food.

  • Sorrento, although it is very much a seasonal destination- I've been a week or so before Easter and quite a few of the shops bars and restaurants were either closed or being repainted.
    The Circumvesuviana would get you to Pompeii and Herculaneum - worth the best part of a day each - or Naples if you're feeling adventurous. Ischia and Capri might be possible, but probably only from Naples at this time of year.
    I've never had trouble in Naples, but have been deliberately low key - no camera, expensive watch, handbag (MrsE, not me) and stick to the main streets. Not sure I'd want to stay there though.

  • I'd avoid Naples. I got wanked-at twice in the space of 4 hours. Two different tramps intentionally and purposefully targeted their masturbation at me and my friends.

  • Two Londoners have b&b in the sticks across the border from Nice if that is your thing.
