Went there for our first CL away game in 2011, when the Oktoberfest was on. Brilliant. Went for it again, the next day, when we’re flying home late afternoon ; so fucking hammered. Me and my mate got spilt up, had no battery and then randomly bumped into each other about an hour later miles away from where we spilt up. Highly recommended btw!

Great place to go for the Christmas market too.

Went to Brugge in my way down to Monaco when we played there in the CL a couple of seasons ago. Brilliant place. Wish I could have stayed more than a night.
 
Got engaged in Seville. Magical weekend. Don’t think I’ve ever been more happy (apart from watching City, obviously)

San Sebastián, Vienna, Porto, Berlin, Milan and Zurich are all exceptional in their own way.
There is something about Seville. I really think it is my favourite European city. Breakfast at noon, lunch (tapas) at 6pm and dinner at 10pm. And then the flamenco bars ......
 
Tallinn in Estonia is a hidden gem great for a long weekend wouldn't go for longer though.

Stockholm is beautiful but expensive as fk.

Krakow in Poland is great Warsaw is shite both are far from dodgy though
Second this. Tallin is fantastic.

Disagree about Warsaw, great city
 
It doesn’t matter where you go, it’s the mates you are with that make it. Go where the wallet takes you, big cities (apart from the old Eastern bloc countries) are generally expensive all year round but Malaga is relatively cheap and has brilliant bars and restaurants. Holiday resorts are less expensive out of season if you are on a budget, Alvor (amongst many others mentioned on here) in Portugal is great and the Euro bar lives up to its name.

Bit of advice, get your flights booked asap, take hand luggage and look at booking a Villa or apartments through Owners Direct, Air BnB, etc online, it can save you a good wedge.

Another vote for Warsaw. New town looks like a bad Croydon but is a cracking city.

Been to most of the cities mentioned on here. Riga is OK if a bit small but seeing as you're going on your 21st you'll just need a few titty bars and clubs which it has in abundance. Can't go wrong with Germany to be honest, love that country and had weekends all over, Bremen being my latest favourite, Becks brewery tour a must.

If you want cheap though, I recommend Sofia, Bulgaria. It's got the lot like any capital city and its about £1 a pint. If you smoke about £2 a pack. Loads to see if you want the culture (doubt you will) but plenty of sleaze to sniff out too.
