Hi all!
My 30th birthday is coming up, and my DW has initiated a "group gift" from my family for a few days vacation together (I don't know about this, of course
), and it seems like they'll be paying for airfare and we'll try and use points for our hotel stay somewhere. We can take off only about 3-4 days from work, and can travel at some point in December, January or February.
Since we're only going for a short time, and are travelling with our soon to be three year old daughter, it seems to make sense to try and stay within a 6 hour travel radius or so, leaving most of the cheaper options (Asia) off the table.
Those months in general are quite cold and rainy/snowy in the northern hemisphere, so we'd like to go somewhere that has options for both indoor and outdoor things (especially ones that we can do together with our daughter), and has enough things to do over four days.
Also, a direct flight is definitely preferred, so based off of OpenFlights.org and a bunch of the TRs on this site, I’ve come up with following options:
Milan
Rome
Venice
Madrid
Barcelona
Amsterdam
Prague
The wife is a bit concerned about going to Paris now, otherwise that’d probably be my pick.
I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on the above options, or if there are other cities that we should be considering that I’ve left off the list.
TIA!
