European City Breaks

Hi, I%26#39;m looking to take my wife away in February for Valentine%26#39;s. Ideally I%26#39;d like to go to somewhere like Prague or Budapest, but I%26#39;m not a well-travelled individual so would appreciate some advice.

I%26#39;m looking for somewhere with a bit of culture that is inexpensive to get to, reasonable accomodation (standards and price), and cheap(ish) eating and drinking (am I asking for too much?).

Can anyone reccomend a European destination (outside the single currency) that may be suitable? Also any hotel reccomendations would be welcomed.

Finally, if anyone could suggest websites for booking cheap flights/ hotels, that would be excellent.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I would consider booking a Easyjet holiday (booking flights and accommodation in one transaction)

http://www.easyjet.com/en/book/index.asp

Just click onto the holidays tab on the above link, above the main search box.

Prague and Krakow (Poland) are excellent choices and will meet all your requirements.

I did a quick search for you with Easyjet for 2 adults, 3 nights in Prague, departing on the 22/2/09. Prices start from £223 including flights and accommodation, which is a outstanding price.

If you are looking to spend a little more, I would consider the Hotel Qubus in Krakow. It is a four star hotel and the TA reviews are very good, I visited in Nov 07 and could not fault any aspect. The cost of the Qubus is £462 departing on the 20/2/09 for 3 nights B%26amp;B including flights and accommodation. Another excellent price.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda.
