Hello all. I’m planning a motorcycle trip in Europe and don’t even know where to start. I want as much flexibility as possible and if I like an area I’ll probably stay there for a day or 2. Would want to find a mid size bike something that could handle highway speeds if necessary but would prefer to stick to back roads don’t need anything that has bags and luggage. I prefer cruisers because I’m short but I’m comfortable on pretty much everything except tall adventure bikes (currently ride a 2015 road king and 2025 lowrider s for reference, but have ridden everything from gold wings to liter bikes). Where do I start? Good places to rent bikes from and what countries should I make a priority to visit? It’ll most likely be a 2-3 week trip. Thanks in advance from a dumb American.

Next week I leave on a European adventure! A week in Spain, France, and then Portugal. I'm a US 20. My two friends are like a US 6/8. Whenever I talk about running out of clothes, they're always like, "Well, you can just buy some. Because we don't want to take up time doing laundry." Which I know probably won't be the case based on everything I have read. I guess I am feeling overwhelmed because I am going with two friends who don't really understand the unique struggles of being plus-sized, but also traveling while plus-sized. I already know Ryanair will be uncomfortable, but the flights are short.

I guess I'm just looking for experiences traveling in Europe or helpful tips, because as excited as I am, I am also very overwhelmed

Edit: Should I bring my own towel? From what I've read, the towels are SMALL. In US hotels, they're already too small for me.

Hi All,

I am planning a euro trip with my friends, two of them are married couple with a baby, in September. Total budget is about 8 lacs including return flights. Our priorities: scenic views, walkable cities and relaxed pace(not city-hopping every day).

Plan: Frankfurt -> Germany -> Berlin -> Switzerland -> Paris -> Italy -> Germany
We will be landing in Frankfurt as we have some friends there living so we will live with them during our trip.

Germany: 2 nights - Rothenberg ob der Tauber and the Romantic on first day and Berlin on last day

Switzerland: 4 nights - Zurich, Interlaken, Lucerne, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Prague

Paris: 2 nights - Montmartre, Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Normandy, Nice

Italy: 4 nights - Rome & Vatican City, Amalfi Coast, Capri, Venice, Milan, Sicily, Lake Como

Key questions:

- Is September a good time for this route (weather + crowds + prices)?

- For a first trip, is 12 days noticeably better with this budget?

-Feel free to add/remove any cities but we prefer to visit Switzerland, Paris, Italy

If you’ve done a similar route, what 10–12 day itinerary would you suggest for a late-30s couple with our budget and priorities?

Thanks a lot for any advice
