Depends what you're looking for but if you want cheap the pound is now strong against the euro so Europe is ideal. Some of the places I know about that I've visited:

Munich - great for football/ history/ if you like beer/ sight seeing
Berlin - Similar to Munich just more history less football
Krakow - Beautiful historic town, lots of clubs etc
Barcelona - beach, hot weather, football
Paris - expensive but lots to do with sight seeing
Going to go to Dresden - yet another beautiful city with history

Do you find that there is alot of young people in these areas when you go?

Yes definitely. Especially in Berlin, Munich, Paris and Barcelona as these are some of the most popular destinations to go to so has many things for all sorts of people. Krakow and Dresden do have quite a few young people but due to it being more historically orientated most of the tourists are older looking at museums etc. Saying that, you will young adults visiting. What exactly are you are you looking for in a holiday destination? Clubs, history, football etc

Well im ideally looking for somewhere where there is a lot to do during the day and then can go out at night. Thinking more Barcelona due to weather and a beach but worried that it may cost a lot when we get there?

Barcelona has loads to do and a great night life but it is the most expensive city in Spain I think despite the pound being string against the Euro. There are other parts of Spain like Malaga which might be cheaper and is popular with British tourists due to the beaches and night cubs etc but don't know much on this as I haven't been there. However, flights are cheap and you could fly from pretty much any airport.

Hi I'm planning to go on holiday this summer with 5 of my mates. However we are unsure on a location as some are more party focused others not so much. I am looking for something that will suit everyone, does anyone know any decent places to go? Thanks.

kavos! I went last year with my best friend. it was great!!! and super cheap. £260 for everything including flight, 20kg luggage, transfer to and from airport and 3* hotel. we booked on travelrepublic. if you don't like to party/don't like to drink, don't go -_- but if you're up for a laugh, defoo recommend. you'll have the time of your life

For me personally this is the type of thing that I would do. However, a couple of my friends wouldn't like his scene and therefore I will do something like this in one of the summers while at uni. Looking for something a bit different for now but thanks for the recommendation anyway :smile:
