Hello!
Where’s the best place to buy the train tickets while I’m traveling to my next destination? My boyfriend and I are going in December and I’d like to get them bought in advance if that’s possible. Thanks!
I am trying to understand OEBB and figure out the best way to buy tickets for a trip in November.
Two adults and a child from München Hbf to Venezia Santa Lucia with a stop in Innsbruck Hbf. I know the exact trains and times and there's a 4 hour gap where we can check out Innsbruck before continuing on.
If I add the "via" (which I assume is like DB's stopover) for Innsbruck Hbf, the same trains is €316 for 2nd with no saver discount.
If I search the legs separately, the sparschiene rate appears and starts at €25.80 + €32.00.
If I set up the same trip with the stopover in DB, the total is €90 as a Super Sparpreis rate.
Is there any benefit to booking the trip all at once or just book the legs separately?
Thank you
Hi - I've recently come back from a trip around Europe as outlined in this post.
I did change a few things based on me having to meet friends in different places.
I did not get to Krakow. However, Warsaw was amazing. Everyone is telling me that Krakow is better, and I'm not doubting that, but it must be so good, because I really enjoyed my time in Warsaw.
Milk bars, old town fun, museums, also Wilanow was interesting too - the grounds and the poster museum with cool communist propaganda posters etc.
I ended up using the next three days with a night in Lüneburg, and two nights in Copenhagen. Yes, as was noted, there was a lot of time on trains. However this was a plus for me. I love trains, and enjoyed it. Lüneburg is a really fun place, and would go again. Very well connected to Hamburg too.
Copenhagen was a nice change. We spent time up in the Copenhagen Contemporary area, as well as checking out the city itself.
Three nights in Dusseldorf. My friend lives there and it was cool seeing where he lived. Also, how fun is the SkyTrain!
Then 9 days in Andalucia. Family get-together. I mean, this was fantastic. Seville, Malaga, Grenada, Ronda. So cool! Two places of note were Nerja, east of Malaga, and Arcos de la Frontera - which can be en route from Ronda to Seville if you do the scenic route through the mountains. Lots of nice little towns up in the mountains too.
Finally, two nights in Naples. For Pompeii. Yes, as people noted in my original post, this could have been jarring. It was not enough time etc. That was true. However the point of this was to see Pompeii. We spent the day there, which was great.
Two nights in Naples is not enough. However, as Antipodeans, we are unlikely to be in Europe again for many years. Pompeii was a bucket lister, so no regrets!
Yes it was a fast trip, but it was very much my style of travelling and I really enjoyed it!
Queremos recomendaciones y ayuda con nuestro itinerario
Hola! Mi mamá y yo estamos planeando nuestro primer viaje fuera del país y estamos un poquito perdidos jajaja. Sería en julio de 2027, porque por vacaciones es la única fecha en la que podemos hacerlo.
Nuestra idea es hacer un viaje de aproximadamente 2-3 semanas y conocer principalmente España, Italia y terminar en Suiza.
Por ahora tenemos pensado algo así:
España
Madrid — 4 días
Sevilla — 2 días
Valencia — 2 días
Barcelona — 3 días
Italia
Roma — 3 días
Florencia — 2 días
Suiza
2 días en Interlaken (aunque aquí todavía no sabemos muy bien a qué lugar llegar).
La idea sería terminar el viaje en Suiza.
También estamos pensando hacer los vuelos multidestino, por ejemplo llegar desde Cancún a España y regresar desde Suiza (no tenemos visa), pero no sabemos si realmente es la mejor opción o si nos convendría hacerlo
de otra manera.
Y otra cosa que nos tiene bastante confundidos es cómo movernos entre países y ciudades 😭. No sabemos qué trayectos conviene hacer en tren, cuáles en avión, si comprar los boletos con anticipación, etc.
Como nunca hemos salido del país, cualquier recomendación nos ayudaría muchísimo: si cambiarían el orden de las ciudades, si quitarían/agregarían algún lugar, si creen que estamos dando demasiado o muy poco tiempo a alguna ciudad, o cualquier tip que les hubiera gustado saber en su primer viaje a Europa
Nuestro objetivo no es hacer un viaje de lujo, queremos conocer lo más posible sin que se vuelva un revoltijo correr de un lado a otro y estresarnos por ello
¡Se agradece cualquier consejo! ❤️
Our cruise from Basel to Amsterdam was cancelled for 10/14. We decided to make our own travel arrangements instead of the alternative cruise they were offering..
Luzerne 2 nights
Interlaken area 3 nights
Stratsburg stay 1 night
Middle Rhine 2 nights
Cologne 1 night
Amsterdam 2 nights
Does this sound like a doable trip? Are any small boats going out for day trips on the Rhine? Are there suggestions on which towns on the Rhine to stay at?
Hi there,
I am looking to relocate from Dublin Ireland to northern Poland (Pomerania region) with my dog.
I have heard there are some travel services that allow a passenger and a dog onto the service.
This dog is maybe 15kg, not sure of the breed - mix of terrier, maybe some pointer in her. She spent most of her life in the shelter and is understandably very nervous.
I would prefer a courier service where I could be there with the dog, for that reason. It would be easier too in the case that she doesn't let a stranger touch her while already in a stressful situation.
Are there any such services where you can go with the dog? Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't mind renting out a whole van or whatever needs to be done to ensure we get there safely.
I have looked into Forczek Trans Europe, but it looks like they are not accepting pet transport at the moment.
If there is no such courier service, is there a way to get from Ireland to Poland with a dog by air travel but with no layovers? What would the safest/quickest way be?
My biggest fear is that she won't let a stranger handle her and will end up stuck in a carrier for a few days if I'm not there with her.
If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know. It would just be a 1 time journey.
Thank you.
