Hi folks,
Just looking to pick your brains here about tips and tricks of various cities I'd be visiting in the coming months and some of which I have no clue about.
My priorities will be looking out for good food, cafes, exploring local nightlife, and "absolute must see" sites (but no museums or art galleries please). I will of course also be attempting to singlehandedly save the world from recession by shopping as much as possible.
So with all that in mind, what do you folks recommend in the following places? I will be doing Stockholm in December, and the rest over Jan and Feb 2009.
Stockholm - 4 nights (well, effectively 3 as i arrive at midnight)
Muscat - 2 nights (doesn't seem like much here and I'm really there because it's a long DONE segment from LHR, maybe coughtails by the beach? I do enjoy Middle Eastern food)
Istanbul - 3 nights
Prague - 2 nights
My parents will be joining me for the following. Mum shares a similar interest in compulsive and totally frivolous shopping (why else are we going to Milan? ) and hunting for the world's best coughtails, additionally she'd be interested in "nice scenery." Dad loves his pints (not so much wine/bubbles/coughtails -- hence the stop in Munich), and will be similarly attempting to revive the world economy - at casinos around the world.
Berlin - 5 nights
Munich - 3 nights
Madrid - 4 nights
Milan - 5 nights
Budapest - 3 nights
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
