I thought London was shit too, Paris now thats class.

Originally posted by squirrelly So I'm planning a four/five week trip to Europe in October. These are the places that we are planning on hitting : Fly into Madrid (I have friends there, free place to stay, and cheapest place to fly into out of all the cities), then go to (in order) Barcelona, Florentine, Munich, Vienna, Prague, Warsaw, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Wales, Belfast, and fly back from Dublin. I think we need to shorten the list a little, it's far too long. The problem is leaving some out. I know for a fact that we MUST go to Barcelona, Prague, and Amsterdam. Any tips?

I would drop Munich and Warsaw from that list. I don't recall either of those two cities as being particularly interesting. Vienna of course tops the list. If you miss out on that I'll have to give you the thrashing of a lifetime!

Ok I need to stop making so many simpsons allusions...

It really depends on what she's after, I think. On the same note, if it's history/old impressive buildings/relics she's after, I would recommend Milan and Rome over some of the other cities (Florence and Barcelona). Further, some of the small villages near/in the Alps might provide for the charm of the trip. Mount Blanc is impressive as well (you can get pretty close to its base).

Might I reccomend Rotherham in northern England?

Nah but seriously you should def go to Budapest in Hungary. Its kinda like Prague but less like Magaluf in Majorca (ie full of British piss heads, like me in the summer when I go there for my mates stag weekend!)

Altho if you go to Budapaest expect to be flooded by annoying fuckin American twats as soon as you get off the train who work for hostels trying to get you to stay at the one they work for even tho you booked one and told em that 5 fuckin times

Also get a rail pass like this one

agree, havent been in belfast tho but havent heard anything good about it... same with warsaw, but perhaps its important since its in poland? it was a long time ago i was in brussels ( i was like 10 ), i dont remember it that great tho, even belgium have more interesting places (like i remember antwerpen as more interesting, then again it was a while ago i was there) ...

Originally posted by trancaholic No, I'm leaving in the morning of the 8th... However, if you start watching the threads in the local NYC forum you might find some roll-call for some event while you're here (most likely prog house/prog trance). If you ask nicely someone might agree to meet up with you there. Otherwise, if you like to dance/are an extrovert it's not really bad to go clubbing by yourself here. At least it beats sitting at home doing nothing.

yeah, i will probably check into it, depends on how desperate i am and how good djs are playing... =) i'd prefer to at least have some impression of a person before i meet up with him/her tho, but its also kinda weird to go alone... perhaps i can get my mom to go with me

to be honest, neither of us are really into cathedrals. Not because they aren't gorgeous, but just because of what they stand for.

Originally posted by trancaholic I agree, and would drop Wales as well, as it doesn't really fit into what seems to be a busy city-trip.

Yeah I wanted to drop Wales, but he actually REALLY wants to see that city for some reason. Maybe I can talk him out of it.

He's never been to London he really wants to see it And surprisingly enogh, I always wanted to go to Paris but he's the one that suggested it and actually that's how we ended up talking about this whole trip!

Okay lots of votes to kick out Munich. If I don't at least drop by Warsaw, my entire family will kill me, since they all LIVE in Poland guys!

Ahhh that's what we were looking for!!! Although we WERE hoping on a bit cheaper of a price. My good friend works for a traveling agency so he's trying to hook us up a bit.

Then you want to skip Florence. Its attractions are nearly all related to the catholic church. Barcelona is pretty much in the same category I would say.

Wales is a part of the UK and not a city.

Florence I can drop, Barcelona not so much. We both would really like to see it, regardless of the churches.

I've had four hours of sleep I've worked 40 hours in three days. I'm sure you all knew what I meant.
