Need help with my Euro Trip...

Cellos88GT · May 13th, 2008, 08:26 PM

ok so I know I'm new here and all but my euro trip with a few friends is coming up soon and I need to settle on some plans of what to do/see. I've been to europe every year since I was born but there is still quite a few things that I have not seen.

We arrive in London on the 9th of July and we'll be staying there for a few days. After that we'll be moving over to Amsterdam for 5-6 days, and after that I'm not really sure where to go...

There are a few stipulations though; first we have to be in Terni, Italy by July 26th-27th for my cousin's engagement party and we'll be traveling by rail via euro passes.

It isn't very much time but there are only 3 of us and we're all 20-21 so rambunctious traveling isn't an issue for us.

What do you guys think we should do? and any recommendations of hostels to stay at along the way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well I've only been there once so I probably don't have much advice for you but damn, you've been there every year since the day you were born? Wow. Lucky.

Cellos88GT · May 13th, 2008, 10:08 PM

yea, I've been very fortunate to go that many times, I've seen many things but there are many things I haven't seen. Guess thats what happens when you have italian parents. hehe

Is there something you or your friends are particularly interested in?

Cobol74 · May 13th, 2008, 10:40 PM

A day out at the National Motor Museum Beaulieu if you have not been before.

http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/motormuseum/

One of any of the museums in Kensington? V&A, Science or (Best IMHO) Natural History museum.

Go to Leicester Square underground and get three cheap tickets to a show in London's theatre land?

London Dungeon, London Eye and Mdme Tussauds? (Can do these separately on only one or two too.)

Well that would be my starter - remember London is EXPENSIVE!!!!

Thats why we're staying there for 2-3 days. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I appreciate your suggestions, I'll definitely look into them.

I've always stayed at the ace hostel when in London. It's my hostel pick for London. Has (pay for) internet, a bar, a jacuzzi, a garden out back, it's near a tube station. On the flip side it's in Kensington and not right in the centre. It's also costed only £15 a night when I was there which isn't bad at all.

But yes. A little more detail would help; Europe's quite big! Anything interest you? Any country specifically you want to see?

Cellos88GT · May 14th, 2008, 03:00 AM

I haven't been to Germany for awhile. One my friends and I were talking about possibly checking out the Nurburgring. My dad was suggesting to go along the rhine river and hit up various towns and cities. Nice is a possibility then heading to Genoa, Cinqueterre, etc.

I've been to a majority of the countries, I just haven't been to many of the cities/towns in them. Never really experienced the night life of any of them except for Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. I'm really open to anything here...

Cellos88GT · May 20th, 2008, 09:46 AM

Well looks like we decided on this itinerary:

London -> Paris where we pick up a car via Renault's flexible lease program -> Amsterdam -> Cologne/Nurbugr -> Prague -> Munich/Innsbruck -> Venice -> Modena/Florence -> then Terni where we meet up with my dad and mom -> Sardinia where we meet up with my italian family.

what do you guys think?

Norway is way different than Finland. Finland has forests, Norway has mountains and fjords. It's more expensive too.

But if I lived in California, I would go to Norway over Finland.
