My Europe Trip: Critiques and Comments (1 Viewer)

[gray]

Okay, I've figured out which cities I'll be visiting and where I'll be staying, but I don't know enough about the cities to know what I should do once I get there. Some miscellaneous travelling tips and local knowledge would be great too.

Since this is an international community and a lot of you will have done some travelling, i thought I'd ask you guys.

So here's my travel itinerary so far:

Sat 19/05 – Leave Incheon -> Arrive London Heathrow (17:05)
Tue 22/05 - Leave London (15:40)
Wed 23/05 – Arrive Zurich (06:24) – stay 1 night
Thu 24/05 - Leave Zurich (08:35) -> Arrive Lucerne (09:25) – stay 1 night
Fri 25/05 – Leave Lucerne (22:21)
Sat 26/05 – Arrive Turin (08:09) (catch Juventus-Mantova and get the hell out of Turin) Snoop and Rab, are you two punks still down to join me for the match?
Sat 26/05 – Leave Turin (19:27) -> Arrive Milan (20:49) – stay 2 nights
Mon 28/05 - Leave Milan (08:05) -> Arrive Venice (11:09) – stay 2 nights
Wed 30/05 - Leave Venice (08:44) -> Arrive Florence (11:23) – stay 2 nights
Fri 01/06 – Leave Florence (08:19) -> Arrive Naples (11:52) – stay 2 nights
Sun 03/06 – Leave Naples (08:10) -> Arrive Rome (09:37) – stay 3 nights
Wed 06/06 - Leave Rome Ciampino(08:20) -> Arrive Frankfurt HHN (10:15) – stay 1 night
Thu 07/06 - Leave Frankfurt (07:54) -> Arrive Munich (11:04) – stay 2 nights
Sat 09/06 – Leave Munich (05:24) -> Arrive Frankfurt (09:08)
Sat 09/06 – Leave Frankfurt HHN (11:40) -> Arrive London Stansted (11:55)
Sat 09/06 – Leave London Heathrow-> Arrive Incheon


Because of time/transport issues, I'll be going back and forth a little bit to acommodate, which looks a bit stupid (especially the last day of my trip) but will save me a lot of money (e.g. my flight from Frankfurt to London will cost 0.01 euros

Graham, you have the schedule of a missionary! (Either that or a Russian spy.) One or two nights in so many places... you're barely going to have enough time to slow down to enjoy the moment.

Id be in London in the mid of June,but thankfully ive got an old school friend of mine there,so i dont suppose id have any 'Not knowing what to do' problems.

You going there alone btw?

Graham, you have the schedule of a missionary!

Well, you know me

One or two nights in so many places... you're barely going to have enough time to slow down to enjoy the moment.

Yeah, I was really wondering whether I should make this trip a 'sampler' or an 'experiencer', but I won't have another opportunity to travel at least for another couple of years. In the end, I decided that I'd just see as much as I can this time around, so that I'll know what I want to experience more of when I return.

It's actually totally not consistent with my character to be in such a hurry and not just chill some place to enjoy the scenery, but I'll consider it an investment for planning my perfect trip the next time around

Salman: Yep, I'll be travelling alone.

Given the circumstances, sounds like the sampler is the way to go if you pack light...

Have fun. I envy you. (Though I plan to be out to Torino for some Serie A action in October...)

that 1 euro cent flight will have 10 euro tax on it. not to mention you better not bring more than a small ziploc bag or theyre going to charge you 300 euro per kilo

it's never as cheap as it seems

Gray I wish I could make it man. But my trip to Europe (If I will go, nothing certain) is in August and September.

 

[ReBeL]

Did you buy a plane and you want to test it or what?

What time are you landing in London, and what is your itinerary within London?

Milano and Venezia suck. They really do.

 

[Snoop]

Venezia sucks if you are not in company with a girl, and Milano suck both way..

Lucky you Gray, they always praised Napoli, some thinks it is the best city in Italy, I wish I could see the south too :frown2:

Yep, after taxes it was only about 10 euros though.

not to mention you better not bring more than a small ziploc bag or theyre going to charge you 300 euro per kilo

Sux to hear that man, I was looking forward to catching the match with you guys

I would've loved to see the reaction if Seven had posted this.

For a guy who writes so much, you certainly don't read a lot My itinerary in London is just to wing it and check out whatever I feel like on the day

Milano and Venezia suck. They really do.

Yeah, they were actually the 2 cities I was undecided about, but there were still a few things that I thought might be worth checking out, and it won't kill me to spend a few days in the 'less great' cities.

Venezia sucks if you are not in company with a girl

That's why I wanted you to come with me

Lucky you Gray, they always praised Napoli, some thinks it is the best city in Italy, I wish I could see the south too :frown2:

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Napoli (I guess I'm looking forward to it all ), and I'm planning a day trip to visit Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius.

I agree on Milano, there really isn't a lot to do there. It seems like fun, because it's a big city, but once you're done walking up and down, through the parks and streets, you realize it's not really much of an attraction.

Who?

Ohhhhh, you mean hector.

Yep, I've heard the same, which is okay because I'm spending less time in Milan than other places, since I'll just be going straight there from Turin (hey, at least I'm not staying in Turin )

 

[Seven]

Just be cautious in Napoli, gray. I mean this sounds a bit retarded, but a Korean Australian tourist must be like two kids in a candystore for some people there.

 

[Tobias]

Which milano have u guys been too, that is so sad. Try going to Capri and Toscana u wont be dissapointed!

That's why I wanted you to come with me

I said if you are in company with a girl, I am not a girl, but if you will spend money on me I can be one
