    Why the hate for London? It's a beautiful city and theres so many neighborhoods to choose from for hanging out. You don't have to do the tourist options, it's a very vibrant place.

    If you're not going to compromise on London (which you really should). LOL. Amsterdam is cool if you've never been. It's a FUN time!

    Switzerland is also a good option for romance.


    That was exactly what I thought LOL. With the abundance of museums, markets, history, architecture.

    NOT everything revolves around the Royal Family.

    I made a pact 2 years ago that I wanted to see as many of the Castles in the country as was possible. F&*^ there are HUNDREDS of the bloody things all over and will take a life time....



    Can you list some more info/names of the bolded items you refer to?

    Westminster Abbey -> http://www.westminster-abbey.org/
    St Paul’s Cathedral -> https://www.stpauls.co.uk/
    Houses of Parliament -> http://www.parliament.uk/visiting/

    Banqueting House -> http://www.hrp.org.uk/banqueting-house (Sorry this link is crap: http://www.hrp.org.uk/banqueting-house)

    But you just need to walk through the streets of London to view they different types of architecture to honest. I love how the old blends with the new.

    There really is just way too much to list.
