City break like Barcelona or Nice
chicagononsense · 27/02/2022 14:01
I am looking for suggestions for a city break. We really liked Barcelona and Nice/Monaco as you are coastal to chill out but within a bus journey or a few stops on the train to the city.
Can anyone suggest anywhere that may suit and give the city/coastal break we would like?

I pressed the wrong button.
We've done Palma which was beautiful.

This is in the UK travel section, so do you want a weekend break like Barcelona without leaving the UK?
Brighton?

Marseille....i think the no.37 bus takes you to the Calonques....beach area..?.....used to visit a lot when friends had a flat there...and city not too big...walk all over easily.

@Frenchfancy
Brighton?
No, sorry about that. On the wrong board.

@earsup
Thanks. Will definitely look at that.

Valencia is an excellent idea. Thank you.

I've asked for my post to be moved to the right board.

The beach in Valencia is OK but it's a bit out of the main city area and there's not much going on around there. The city itself is lovely though.
Lisbon has everything you could possibly want from a city imo.
