We are all fit and have a young outlook. We are in our 60s love good food, good wine and a little history and culture. Happy to use trains.

Suggestion?

I agree that Italy is wonderful. Venice is my favourite place in the world. Yes it can be pricey but if you wander off the beaten track you can get reasonable (ish) food and drink. I also love the Amalfi coast although the roads are not for the faint hearted. Also Lakes Garda and Como.

I think the answer is in the name - but like so many she has posted and left.

Great suggestions! I recently went to York with 4 pals, we are all 68, had a great time. Last year we did Chester, also great. Future choices might be Bath/Shrewsbury/Dublin.

For a U.K. short break, I’d certainly second York.

Unless anyone’s thoroughly heat-proof, I don’t think I’d recommend southern European cities in summer. Cooler months, yes.

What a disappointment.
Why do people ask a question and then don't respond any further?

This has happened recently on a lot of posts.
Many kindly 'grans' have advised on various more troubling posts but the OP often doesn't respond.
I don't understand - are these real posts?

If thinking of weekend break I would highly recommend Prague. Beautiful city with so much to see, so much history and culture and not too expensive. We loved it.
