Your annual vacation/holidays

I'm planning a vacation for mid-May this year but can't decide where to go.

For context, I usually go on cruises, but I want to try something different and stationary this year.

Last year, my sister and I traveled to Portugal and Spain for 12 days. While I had a blast, the idea of hopping from one international city to another, staying in different hotels, and just moving constantly isn't my idea of a relaxing vacation. I want something a bit more grounded - stay in one place and take day tours whenever I want.

Beaches aren't really my thing, and although an all-inclusive resort might seem appealing to others, I would hate to be in an overcrowded place with loud obnoxious tourists. Besides, I'm more interested in history and culture.

I've been considering at least three different destinations: Montreal, Seville, and Prague, and each has some charming things to offer. As a solo traveler, I find it challenging to find a travel plan that's reasonable and won't break the bank. In any case, I need to get away.

Just booked a holiday to Egypt, in may. I want to see the pyramids for myself. (And other stuff too, of course.).

(I don't take a holiday that often - once every two, three years or so on average. Don't generally feel the need for any more than that, but last year has been somewhat bothersome and worn me out).
 
I've been going to Reno more lately mainly because my parents live there, but recently I decided to skip on the Star Trek Convention in Vegas and go back to my childhood family camp in July. I haven't seen those people in almost 6 years and last year I had to go for a family emergency and realized how much I missed it.
 
I finally decided on a destination: Dublin, Ireland! I'll be visiting for just a week. Any suggestions or ideas on what to do and sights to see?

I messed up on my booking via Travelocity. I wanted to extend my stay, but I had already booked my trip, and they said I could only cancel the flight, not the hotel reservation. I guess I should've been more organized in my planning.
 
Austria/Oetztal again for me, 11 days. Just booked myself a room. Several weeks to go, as my vacation starts in June.
 
Update: I booked 4 tours on Viator for my trip in May.
  • Walking tour of Dublin
  • Cliffs of Moher
  • Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains
  • Celtic Boyne Valley and ancient sites
