recommendations for a two week trip to europe
i'll be traveling around europe for two weeks on the eurail pass
soon. i'd like to see as much of europe as possible during that time, so i plan on spending one day in each city i visit (with the exception of london, where i'll spend two days). here's a tentative route i mapped out: http://zwei.homelinux.net/~jason/eur...il-plan-v4.png i'm from the US, so i don't have much of a concept of how long it will take to travel that distance in europe. (i'm guessing my route is a little overly ambitious.) how many cities do you think i'll have time to see along that route? what do you think is an optimum distance to travel in two weeks? jason |

: http://zwei.homelinux.net/~jason/eur...il-plan-v4.png Assuming that the route in question is the pink line I can only speculate that you are completely bonkers. When do you plan to get off of the the train? and neither Rome nor Paris fine because they deserve more than that. but honestly are you trying to see how many miles you can run up but then again you are using a map that says it comes Amsterdam so maybe you are just pulling out collective leg with a little joke. -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ |

A better idea would be to simply list them for us. But I agree with jc. You are nuts or a troll. BTW, if it matters, my family did about this route in 1970... in 5 weeks. =R= |

Think of European countries like medium-to-large-sized American states. Its like saying "I'll do Missouri on Monday, Illinois on Tuesday, Kentucky on Wednesday...", etc. -- -BB- To e-mail me, unmunge my address |

thanks for the replies.
here's a revised route: http://zwei.homelinux.net/~jason/eur...il-plan-v5.png is that more reasonable? i'd like to spend at least a day in frankfurt, amsterdam, london, edinburgh, and paris. if time allows, i'll also visit either bern or basel. otherwise, i'll just cut across to frankfurt. any idea how long it takes to get from london to edinburgh? jason |

I haven't looked at your route, but if you're planning on seeing 13 cities in 14 days, a plan like this will guarantee that you will see as *little* of Europe as possible. What you will mostly see is the inside of trains and hotel rooms. Assuming that you are interested in major cities like London, Rome, and Paris, I wouldn't try to visit more than three in two weeks time--four tops. You could profitably spend the entire two weeks, or more, in just one of these cities. -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup Your route is not "little overly ambitious"; its extremely overly |

This is much more reasonable. Just a couple of ideas: Instead of crossing at the Hook of Holland, consider going to Brussels and taking the Eurostar to London. Also, from Bern, I'd head for Munich, which is more interesting than Frankfurt and from there, you could do an side trips to Regensburg and Salzburg. =R= |
