Lisbon

Budapest and you could take a train journey to Zagreb (Croatia) for a day & night

Could get weekend away in Spain North or South dead handy and I'm sure candle light dinners by the med would be fierce rosemantic

For a short trip like that, stick with flights Cork only, Rome is probably the best option. I would suggest staying in the Trastevere area, lots of restaurants and a little bit out off the mayhem.At night it's a fairly romantic area. there's thread about Rome in here somewhere.

It certainly has kippy parts, but then again so do all cities bar none.
Trastevere is certainly not kippy at all.

Was at this place once in Rome - "Circolo Degli Artisti" a little gem of a place a little outside the city centre, but well worth a visit, it's a venue(indoors & outdoors), outdoor bar, gardens, restaurant, artist gallery etc. They even have an outdoor cinema here. Website is in Italian only, but check the "Photo Gallery Venue" to get a flavour of the place.
http://www.circoloartisti.it/sito/index.php/multimedia/

Amazing place, they get some well known names playing live there, but worth checking anyway as it's a very unusual setup. In english the name would be Circle of Artists and this is a perfect description.

Nice is nice.

And there's direct flights from Cork with Aer Lingus.

The old part of the city has some great restuarants and a few good pubs.

Monaco is only a short train (or bus) ride away.

Lovely part of the world.

Where did you decided on in the end?

Did you go for a big city, or a small coastal or mountain getaway?
