Each tool shines in its niche, so the best choice depends on your specific needs. Let me know if you'd like to explore one of these further!

We stayed in the Hotel Pod Veží (Booking.com) and really liked it. Right off the Charles Bridge.

A couple of important tips if you go.

Just remember:

1. The "Loofah Code". Use a color-coded loofah on your car or golf cart to signal lifestyle preferences.

2. "Upside Pineapple". A sign of welcoming. Or a party going on.

I found the video satisfying to watch.

In-laws used to live there, so we spent quite a bit of time in the area.

Beaches:

Obviously why most people go. Got out to Anastasia State Park. You can still drive on St. Augustine Beach, so try around Crescent Beach for one.

History

Drive down the beach towards Fort Matanzas National Monument, a historic site located near St. Augustine, Florida. It features a fortified coquina watchtower. You can take a boat over. Some nice beaches down near the inlet. These beaches offer serene environments with soft, white sand and are less crowded compared to others in the area.

LINK

The whole town is a history museum. Just walk around in town. The most iconic fort in St. Augustine is the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. Built by the Spanish in the late 1600s, it's the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. Made from coquina, a unique shell-based stone, the fort was designed to withstand attacks and has a fascinating history of sieges and cultural exchanges.

Dining

Have to decide between downtown or the beaches.

Downtown

Harry’s Seafood Bar & Grille. We used to like Raintree Restaurant. The Columbia (original one is in Tampa) for an iconic setting, Cuban style food.

Beaches

Osteen's for seafood. A sit-down, no-frills type of restaurant. On the way out to the beaches.

Sunset Grille on A1A for seafood. Beachcomber Restaurant. The restaurant is right next to the ocean! Great for lunch.

NOTE: On all of these, depending upon the season, day of the week, they can get CROWDED. Go early. Check if they do reservations.

Depends on your preferences for vibe, proximity to attractions, and budget. FYI, Vanderbilt Stadium is located in the West End area, about 2–3 miles from Downtown (10–15 min drive).

Thoughts...

1. West End/Midtown. You could possibly walk to the stadium, avoid traffic, and still reach Downtown in 10–15 minutes for Nashville’s music scene. Look for Airbnb's near 21st or West End Ave for the easiest access.

2. 12 South. Maybe 10-15 minutes from Vanderbilt and downtown. Known for being a trendy area. A short ride to the stadium and offers some local charm as there are established neighborhoods in the area. You might not have as many Airbnb options. I will say we don't go down to this area much because parking can be oppressive (thus using Uber is good) and there seems to be a growing trend of car break ins in the area. (Note: Crime in this area is generally not a significant issue compared to areas like Downtown/SoBro, 12 South has less violent crime and fewer issues with public intoxication or vagrancy. It’s one of Nashville’s safer and more desirable neighborhoods for Airbnb stays).

I like the Germantown area for some of the restaurants but think it might be a little out of the way.

Search Read reviews for noise levels and safety, especially in transitional areas.

Amazing trip and photos! :cheers:

We were in Zaragoza for Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Spain a few years ago. First thought was "I'm at a Klan Rally" when I first saw the processions (being from the DEEP South originally) :rolleyes: But seriously, it was a different and amazing sight where the brotherhoods known as "cofradías" from each church paraded through town. Each cofradía is tied to a specific church and their processions are deeply symbolic, with unique colors, music, and routes. Truly a site to behold.

Gonna be a big day. Recoup 1/3 of all that's been lost in the past month.

Thanks.
The weather has been pretty good with the exception of a couple of cool,misty days. It started raining in Bamberg Friday so we ducked into the cathedral where a beautiful Good Friday organ service was going on. Worked out fine.

Wish I knew how to send pictures. ??

We started off in Bamberg for one of our cruises. Hired a driver to take us from Prague. Really pretty older town! At least keep the updates coming!!
