I'm thinking about planning a trip to go from the U.S. to Europe roughly from May 20 to May 31. In the process of booking FF ticket and I think I can fly in/out of some combination of the following cities: Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome, Prague, Brussels, Lisbon, Barcelona, London. I'm 34, and interested in doing a fair amount of outdoorsy type stuff and for lack of a better word "partying" and exploring the European nightlife. Interesting architecture would take precedence over museums. I figure with the various options on the flights in/out, I've got a lot of room I can work with.
One option I was considering was something like Amsterdam-Munich/Berlin-Prague. I'm pretty wide open to suggestions. "Outdoorsy" activities I've done before and enjoyed included repelling, hiking, caving, flying in a microlight, extensive dune-buggying.
Gimme your best shot...

(oh yeah, a couple of nights of drunken debauchery is needed)

If the German kids who roomed beside us a few years ago in southern France are any indication, you should find everything you want in Germany.

Have fun.

Thanks Sal (I think) Anyone else?

Not sure about the outdoor stuff but here's my 2 cents...

Prague would be cheap...lots of bars and beer, wonderful architecture and a nice old world feel.

Barcelona is a fabulous choice...a really late night city with lots of clubs and bars. People go out after 11pm and stay out all night...I couldn't keep up! The architecture is great especially all of the Gaudi buildings.

I know that Lisbon is a popular weekend destination from London for clubbing...but I haven't been there for years, the weather should be great in May.

Hope that helps!

Before you get too far in your plans find out if you can actually book your ff tickets. It is awfully late to be looking for award tickets for May.

On the FF front I can fly into Brussels or Rome and out of Brussels, Amsterdam or Prague. Actually there is a lot more availability still in May and June then you might think.

Any other suggestions?
