Re: Holidays
Off work for almost two weeks and off to Budapest > Vienna > Bratislava for a holiday to celebrate my 40th.
Looking like it could be pretty decent weather too!

I'm the scumbag outlaw. You're the pillar of justice. Neither of us like looking at ourselves in the mirror. Do we have a deal?

Been to Bratislava and it was great fun. Very small city so everything is nearby, people are lively and beer is good and cheap.
On the way up to the castle was a bar that served the cheapest pint. I think it was about 30p.

I've been to Budapest and Vienna before but never Bratislava. Weather not meant to be great while we're there so might just walk to the castle and plonk myself at that bar and keep on spending 30 pence!

More context. Less than £2 a pint and 65p a can. Hungarian wine not too bad eitheroriginallad wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2024 5:56 pmBloody ell I've forgotten how cheap the beer is in Budapest!

Re: Holidays
If you're after a holiday spot that's a bit more chill than Malia or Magaluf, places like Santorini, Crete, or the Amalfi Coast offer stunning scenery and a more relaxed vibe. Croatia's coastline is another great option with its mix of historic towns and beautiful beaches.

Re: Holidays
Didn't make it up the castle in the end and didn't find a pint for 30p. But did find pints for £1.50 which I thought was pretty decent!overseasTOON wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 7:57 pmSounds like a great trip and have a bloody wonderful 40th!originallad wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 6:13 pmOff work for almost two weeks and off to Budapest > Vienna > Bratislava for a holiday to celebrate my 40th.

To be honest, the castle wasn't brilliant to wander around as seems to have been mainly rebuilt so you've not really missed out on anything there.
Bratislava is a nice place for a beer or two and the old town is lovely for a walk about.

It's a lovely place. And it was a nice way to end the holiday after the hustle and bustle of Vienna.overseasTOON wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 2:58 pmStill a great price.originallad wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 10:34 am

Bizarrely the cheapest place we found was at Bratislava's main train station.
2 pints of Pilsner
2 Brandys (40 ml measure - love it)
Large lemonade
Slice of vanilla custard chocolate cake
€12.70!
Booze (especially beer) is cheaper than soft drinks in Slovakia!
