I will be traveling to Europe in a couple of weeks. I plan to get my Euros before I leave. What are the best denominations to ask for when I do? I don't want to be doing the equivalnt of pulling out a $50 to buy a cup of coffee.
Hi! I’m planning a December trip and considering:
🇦🇹 Vienna – 1 day
🇸🇰 Bratislava – 1 day
🇭🇺 Budapest – 3 days
It’s my first time visiting these cities in winter. I’d like to experience the Christmas atmosphere without spending too much.
Do you think this is a good route and time distribution? What would you recommend seeing/doing in each city, and which Christmas markets are actually worth visiting?
Thanks! 🎄
Hi everyone, me and the wife would be grateful if you can share unique experiences/places that we can consider for our month long Europe trip this November - And yes we have decided to stay travelling in Europe on this trip.
Just for a bit of context, we are both working adults in our 30s and have been to most of the major city breaks in Europe (France, Germany, Greece, Portugal Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Vienna, Croatia, Malta, Netherlands, Brussels, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Serbia, Spain, Poland, Denmark) . We are huge foodies/ coffee lovers and will be spending some time in San Sebastián, Parma and Modena for sure during this trip. Both of us have no mobility issues and will drive during our travels if needed.
Some of our favorite places/ things to do have been
Copenhagen - food and mooch
Lake Garda/ Como/ Almalfi coast- Eating our way around different towns on a Vespa
Rhine river cruise across multiple countries
Cooking classes in different countries
Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
Thank you in advance!
My fiancé and I are planning a 1.5-2 month trip in Europe and ChatGPT is the king of optimism, I want to get maybe some real travelers experience I want to visit the UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, and Italy within 60 days.
We have a budget of $13,000 including air travel. We're willing to do hostels or budget hotels, we don't do any fine dining, we don't drink alcohol, we prefer street food over sit-down restaurants.
We would be walking wherever we can, otherwise public transportation (bus, subway).
Our big spends will be on theme parks because we're going to quite a few.
And maybe in each country try to get one "must-do" thing done there for tourism purposes.
I budgeted for $175 a day in total, I expect we'll spend the most time in cheaper countries.
And seeing what we should in the big ones, tell us if we're crazy or not??
Hi! I’m planning a 5-day solo trip in December and looking for a route that’s safe, easy to get around in winter, and not too expensive.
I’ve already visited Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Potsdam, Prague, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Amsterdam and Brussels.
I’d also love to see some Christmas markets, preferably ones that aren’t extremely expensive.
What route would you recommend?
My friend and I are planning to visit Slovenia this autumn break. None of us have a driving license. There's a lot of recommendations online about where to stay, and I can't decide.
Also is late October going to be really cold there ?
And which other places should I see other than Lake bled and Lake bohinj.
I also saw some caves but I'm not into caves.
I really love hiking and any recommendations on how to proceed with it would be appreciated thank you.
I’m thinking about a 12-day solo trip for early November.
Ljubljana → Split → Kotor/Perast → Shkodër or Tirana
I’d fly into Ljubljana, travel by public transport (bus or train) and fly home from Tirana. I’m thinking of spending two to three nights in each place, taking a day trip to Perast from Kotor.
I know the summer months would probably be better, but I’m not looking for a beach holiday. I’m perfectly fine with autumn weather. My main concerns are heavy rain, places being completely closed for the off-season and reduced bus services.
Would you still recommend this route in early November? Alternatively, I could travel in mid-October, but I would have to book everything at short notice and it would be more stressful due to other commitments.
Is Shkodër worth a two-night stay at that time of year, or would it make more sense to continue directly to Tirana? Would visiting four countries in 12 days feel too rushed?
My wife and I are arriving in Vienna this Friday around noon and staying in District 1. It’s our first time in Austria, and we decided to start our trip there before heading to Italy.
We have Saturday for a full-day trip and are considering Wachau Valley + Dürnstein. Ideally start morning and be back by 6 or 7 pm
Would you recommend this, or is there another day trip from Vienna that we shouldn’t miss? Also, any recommendations for a good small-group tour or private driver, and where to book?
Thanks!
Hello! My job is having me visit Stockholm for a 4 days in the first week of December. I have have never made it to Sweden before, and am very excited to spend some time here!
I'm thinking of spending two days outside of work in Stockholm, and taking another 4-5 days off and going someplace else either in Sweden or around there. What would you recommend doing in Stockholm itself and where else around there is good to visit during that time of the year? I love walking around, hiking/spending time in nature (though maybe not as much in the cold!), learning about the history of places, and enjoying local food/drink.
