Best place for a long weekend (Memorial Day) trip London, Amsterdam, Berlin or Stockholm?
For four well-traveled guys traveling from the USA who love culture, partying with nice beautiful-stylish-sophisticated women who like to have a good time, live-sporting events and clubs & lounges with good music and a good time and festive atmosphere where the people are nice and warm and welcoming. We are looking to arrive Thursday May 21st and depart on Tuesday May 26th from either London, Amsterdam, Berlin or Stockholm? Which city would offer us the best options to what we are looking for with optimum weather during that time(No Rain!)? We are looking for places with good outdoor lounges/clubs without the smoky atmosphere as well (I've traveled to Prague/Budapest/Slovakia). Look forward to your replies! Thanks.

Well I would pass on London then if you want assurance of no rain - there is apparently always at least a 10% chance of rain in this country! But if might help if you specify when you will be traveling.

Everyone says May is usually nice in England but for the last couple years, the weather has been poor and unpredictable throughout spring and summer. If the weather is that important, again, I would pass on London.

weather...
if weather is that important to you, then go to the south of France- Cannes, Nice or MC
if you want to stick w/ the cities you have noted, then London or Amsterdam

Regarding only the availablity of affordable "nice beautiful-stylish-sophisticated women" I'd say Amsterdam is best, followed by Berlin, while Stockholm's a no-go.

For everything i'd recommend Glasgow or Edinburgh for the pub/club scene. Pleanty of culture here in Scotland. You'll get a warm welcome here.
Nightlife is amazing though I am not sure about the weather it can be unpredictable. I do recommend Amsterdam, Barcelona, Riga, Ibiza, Mallorca, Dublin aswell though.

I would say Stockholm has the most beautiful women. The people in the inner city are stylish, men and women. Women in London are quite ugly but it's a much bigger city with plenty of sightseeing. It's also easier to get in the trendy clubs of London than Stockholm which is overall more exclusive with many snotty people - especially around Stureplan. The Swedes are probably the most introverted people. Berlin is quite cheap and surprisingly cool with a lot of alternative style and creative people.
I think you should go for Amsterdam or Berlin. Keep in mind that Amsterdam is a small city and it can get boring not knowing where to go.

I would say Stockholm. I've been there a dozen times but have not been to any of the clubs. Lot's of things to see and do tho. Many museums, just a neat place to walk around and explore.
