I'll risk myself with something like:
s = ';'.join([tag.string for tag in [couch,price,sdate,city]])
Of course, from the question I wouldn't have any clue. I just like doing
some guessing on problems I know nothing about. ;)

Not really. It seems to me the OP is using BeautifulSoup (or some other
SGML parser). In this case, couch and others are not strings but objects.
It may also be that strUrl is their parent (but I wouldn't know, how
would I?)

That's always useful.
However, the first thing is to put the minimal context in your question
to help the people you want your answers from understanding your issue.
I would advise you to read tutorials and documentations on the modules
you're using as well as learning to ask meaningful questions[1].
