Heading Out On Vacation to England, Ireland and Spain!

[abraraLop]

Aside from the obvious tourist traps, I'd be interested in whether any of you out there had any off-the-beaten path recommendations...

Going to London England, Dublin Ireland, Barcelona Spain.

bars? clubs? hot spots? anything else?

You're gonna want to go to Florence. I was in Florence last year. You are going to love it- absolutely beautiful. Then again, I went in the dead of winter and it wasn't at all crowded, so you might have a different opinion just based on the crowds you'll encounter. I basically just went to all of the major tourist attractions because we were only there for two days. I'm sure you'll find a lot more interesting things to see than I did since you'll be there for two weeks. It's very expensive to get in to see the Statue of David, and I considered not going in, but it was worth the money once I did.

Spent a semester in London, and there's definitely no shortage of things to do. If you like American-style clubs and are there over a weekend, Rouge (West End on Charing Cross Road) and Purple (underneath Stamford Bridge at the border of Chelsea and Fulham) aren't bad. If you like trance and underground, DEFEINTELY check out Turnmills and Fabric, both of which are in the East End.

There are also walking tours of different sections of London, which white alluded to. The most popular of those are the Jack the Ripper walk and the Beatles walk.

london sux...just my unsolicited biased opinion...i had the worse fish and chips there everrrr...barcelona is tight though...just get used to walkin around with a hardon...hmm was that solicited? Shocked

o and belfast is scary as heck if ur thinkin of goin north...but then again ur most likely white which uberhelps in the land of the irish. Kiss

sorry to add again, but if u like to party u should go to amsterdam as a stop between london and dublin because its pretty cheap to make a stop there...but if u dont like to "party" and smoke trees then u prolly shouldnt go...so nm...
