Tommy Brice for Coach

Quote from: pbiflyer on November 23, 2024, 07:25:00 AMMy turn to ask for advice. Have a work trip to Berlin in February. 🥶 whole team is going. We typically do a side trip for these events. But it is a bit like herding cats picking a place. Trying to find a place that fits everyone's requirements is a challenge.
So major requirements for side trip destination:
1. Direct flight to Berlin or reasonable train
2. Can't be colder than Berlin
3. Somewhere we haven't been, so London, Dublin, Lisbon, Rome, and all of Spain is out. Selfishly, I've been to Prague, Paris, Munich, and Vienna, so those would be a no vote from me. I could live with Vienna though and I guess Paris.

What I came up with was - Malta, Nice, Edinburgh, Amsterdam.  Maybe Florence.
Did I miss some place?

How long are you looking for? Dresden could be interesting for 1-2 nights. Copenhagen is great, but likely colder than Berlin. Also could go to Frankfurt.

As it turns out my team opted to go to Athens and I am going with, instead of staying in Berlin. Our company is based near Frankfurt, so been there many times. Love the small towns along the Rhine in that area.
There were food suggestions for Athens upthread. But any strolling, bar, hidden site suggestions?
Obviously will do the major ones. But always like the more obscure ones as well.

   Having said that, I walk as much as I can.   Jutaw22, did you have a caddy or were you carrying your own clubs?

I carried my own clubs.  I'm not good enough to justify having a caddie!!! (Although I did shoot 84/89 on red/black, which is really good for me.)

My company's HQ is an hour train ride north of Frankfurt.  I was just there in November and will be back in January.

We are about a 30 minute S bahn ride south of Frankfurt.
