wanderer Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) It's a sh*hole that has one of the great cathedrals in the world, one the greatest opera houses in world, one greatest shopping areas, a fantastic castle, great cheap train access to lakes and mountains and once you are of the centre neighbourhoods where there is still real sense of community. All about opinions I suppose..... Only passed Lake Como on the train from Zurich to Milan, and will give you that.... but its a city I have no desire to return to, and if you walk only a street or two away from the Dumeo Square, you suddenly go from "fashion capital of the world" to "downtown Baghdad.

fringo Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Che Cheers guys Any particular restaurants you'd recommend? It's her birthday, so it'd be good to go somewhere relatively nice at least one night... I went here 12 years ago and thought it was pretty decent - 4 Gats http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g187497-d896759-Reviews-4_Gats-Barcelona_Catalonia.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice if it's the same place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 I completely forgot I have posted this. Thanks for the suggestions folks. Oh and Doon the Slope, this will be a trip where I don't need to pay for a Davor directly mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heuch Moray Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 As already recommended any of Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona although not mentioned my first choice would be Casa Mila (La Pedrera).Get up on that roof! http://www.lapedrera.com/en/home Budapest: The House of Terror Museum located in the building of the former headquarters of Hungary's communist secret police. Sombre and chilling. http://www.terrorhaza.hu/museum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 The Terror House is excellent (in as you say a sombre and chilling way), went there this summer for the first time. It opened back when I was working in Budapest, but at that time they charged triple admission for non-Hungarians so I never went on a point of principle.

Parklife Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 deecie, on 27 Oct 2015 - 11:13 AM, said: The big half built church is surprisingly shitty. Now that i've been, im convinced that you're taking the pish. Sagrada Familia is the most incredible thing i've ever seen. The scale of it, the detail in every aspect, the colours cascading in through the stained glass windows, the vision and foresight to design such a thing - quite literally breathtaking in almost every way.
