Lucca, Sienna, Florence, Venice, Verona, Modena, Rome etc in Italy (loads of other nice places too but Milan isn't one of them).
Valencia, Sevilla, Cordoba, Granada and Madrid in Spain.
Siena is beautiful and surprisingly cheap :)
I was waiting for the plane to be mentioned. Stay in Seville it’s stunning.I know your OP says city break but if you fancied a day at the beach with some restaurants you can't really go wrong with Chiclana de la Frontera, within an hour and a half of Seville. Doable by train to Bahia Sur (Cadiz) and then a short taxi, or should imagine bus. Only reason I mention public transport is in case you want a day on the beer outside the city.
San Sebastián is absolutely beautiful .Seville, Valencia, Bilbao and Madrid all great cities to visit in Spain.
Another place in Spain I have not been to but heard brilliant reports of is San Sebastian.
Barcelona is one of the few cities I have not enjoyed.
Caught somebody trying to pickpocket me and numerous reports of others having the same problem.
I think you mean the Alcazar - the Alhambra is in Granada.Brilliant, brilliant city.
Did I mention it was brilliant.
vibrant, safe, friendly, food is er brilliant, flamenco dancing if that’s your thing. Alhambra and Cathedral are both BRILLIANT.
Love it.
we normally stay in the centre within stone throw of Cathedral which is …….
thats the one. Both are......Brilliant!I think you mean the Alcazar - the Alhambra is in Granada.
Lovely story mate. We had a lovely airbnb right opposite the cathedral a couple of floors above a starbucks. It had its own balcony you could sip a chilled sherry and watch the world go by. While we were there they had some kind of festival to celebrate the city connections with south america. It was huge and took about two hours to pass under our balcony. One of my very favourite cities.I took my partner to Seville when we played in the CL. I booked an apartment right opposite the Castle and Cathedral overlooking the square. Kept it a Secret. The lift came straight down to street level. We both got in it. It stopped on the top floor and opened straight into an open plan apartment. She walked around it a burst into tears of happiness. As for Seville, BEAUTIFUL! Go!!
I went to Milan for the Atalanta game
Didn't spend enough time there to take in everything and it pissed it down most of the time, so my opinion may be a bit clouded... but I found it to be quite a dull and dreary place
Now I've done the San Siro it's not a place I'll be going back to in a hurry
Nice. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Here's a short Seville video from my YouTube channel:-Thanks everyone.
I changed the title of the thread from "Milan" to "Seville" yesterday largely due to all the advice on here.
It' looks as though we'll be booking Seville imminently.
I appreciate the warning on the heat - we don't really have an option on when we go because it's the honeymoon. We've been to Turkey in August and Cyprus during their record temperatures so will be prepared. I'll have my 22 year old City bucket hat to shelter my bald head.
I actually read most of the comments on here to her last night and she was convinced by you all so I dearly hope this isn't the most meticulously planned clarkie in Bluemoon history.
‘90sWent out with a girl who worked there in the late 90’s and stayed there with her for about three weeks.
Had a great time, but it would be long way down my list of places to visit in Italy.
Quite industrial and not very friendly were a couple of enduring memories. Went back in 2019, along with Florence, Bologna and Naples and felt it was the least likeable, interesting place of the four.
The Duomo is incredible, and there’s plenty of decent places to eat, but I wouldn’t recommend if you could go to (for example) Seville, Porto or Munich for the same money.
Thanks everyone.

Seville is incredible. Got engaged there. She proposed to me (obvs) although she only just beat me to it. We were so pissed that when we went for lunch the next day and we were squaring up, we only just realised that we were in the same place that we got engaged!Thanks everyone.

There’s a symmetry here because we were pissed last year when we sort of agreed to get married and are now going to Seville!Seville is incredible. Got engaged there.

Fucking brilliant city. Great tempo to it and some great bars and restaurants too. Not too expensive either iirc.
