Coming up this weekend it is the 20th anniversary of my husband's death (suicide).
I need to get away from tomorrow until Monday, any suggestions?
Budget - as cheap as possible up to €1000.

Madrid. Its a beautiful city, food is great and its pretty cheap to eat and get around and plenty of places to visit.

Come to Geneva and join me in a sports hall watching Tchoukball! Christmas markets are on too. I'm going to watch my 16yr old play and his gf who lives with us is coming too, I'd happily have some adult company!

If you want to stay in the UK, a bed and breakfast in a city or seaside resort might be good.

Go to Barcelona. It’s amazing. Lovely food, lovely people, lovely parks, sights, sea swimming…

Riga is lovely for a short break and easily doable in your budget. Could go to Prague either?

booking.com is good for short stay accommodation... but yes, need to know what type of getaway you are after - rural, urban, UK, not UK, etc

I'd suggest Gdansk. It's beautiful and very peaceful. The Polish are very welcoming.

I'm sorry for your loss. Grief is a bitch.

Not enough info I'm afraid as we have no idea of what you like/dislike and whether you want UK or abroad?

MrsPerfect12 · 06/12/2023 23:55

New York?

Well, the area you're in would help. Not much point me suggesting a place in Skye if you're in Exeter.

Where are you and where do you want to go? Peaceful and reflective or a noisy distraction?
