Romantic weekend break HELP

Saint_Chris

What about Liverpool, fly to Amsterdam with easyjet for £159 for both of you. Or with jet2.com for £228 from leeds/bradford. Hotels are coming in around £122 for 3* - £200 for 5*.
The flight is only 1 hour, transfer is simple of the plane straight onto the train for 15 mins. Straight of the train into the city of Amsterdam either walk or get a tram (real easy) to your hotel.

Amsterdam is a wonderful city, you could spend a romantic day on a canal boat seeing some great sites, walk round the wonderful vondel park, visit Ann Franks house (real moving) sit at a canal bar and have a few drinks, have a romantic meal at many of the wonderful restaurants, visit the Leipenstiene area great for street entertainers, visit the flower market. And if your really up for it a walk down red light area will open your eyes (but it is not that bad)

I would go for that personally because my hubby took me for a romantic weekend in Amsterdam and it was wonderful and the hotel excellent.

have done a bit of searching for you,but the flights are just to expensive to most other destinations.

The flights were with easyjet from Liverpool

Accommodation can be found at any of these, the prices can vary though.

I stayed at the 5* Barbizion palace here is my review on it.

http://www.holiday-truth.com/holiday_truths/hotel_reviews/4159/Barbizon%20Palace%20Hotel/

this is coming up about £200 but it is nice. But the Victoria is coming up at £165 and this is straight over the road from the station.
the gran krasnopolsky is coming up at £205 and that is on dam square and is also £200

But there are some others that are around £149 and they are around the Leipenstein area this is in the middle of Amsterdam and is a beautiful area. The area around the station where i stayed can be a bit busy.

If i get chance i'll have a look at some good 3* hotels for you that are available should you decide to go for this.

£165.25

This hotel is a great location straight across from the train station and it gets good reviews. It is also opposit the canal where you can get a day pass and ride the canals (like you do a bus) to go and see all the sites.
