2 weeks in europe
So a friend and I [ 20 years old college students] have two weeks in
Europe, starting and ending London. We want to see a lot, not really looking to truly experience the cities, but get a feel for them. We were hoping to start in London and see Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Rome, Barcelona, Paris. About 2 day a piece. The way it looks, train will be the cheapest, but Prague is a bit out of the way, almost a must!!! Does anyone have suggestions. We are traveling last two weeks of May on a budget THANK YOU in Advance |

We are traveling last two weeks of May on a budget It's not 2 days apiece, since you will have to spend about 8 days on the train. Rome-Barcelona is a 24-hour trip. Prague-Rome is 20. Unless you have a late flight, I also forsee an overnight in London just to get to Heathrow in time. You can reclaim some of that time by taking night trains, though that is not always an option. You can save a day by flying into Amsterdam and grouping all your London time together. You can plan to spend more than two weeks, and finally, you can scale back. Whether and how is up to you, but I suggest you and your friend discuss how much of the trip you want to spend on the train, and how much in castles and cafes. Good luck. |

About 2 day a piece. The way it looks, train will be the cheapest, but Prague is a bit out of the way, almost a must!!! Does anyone have suggestions. We are traveling last two weeks of May on a budget That's way too much for two weeks. Just getting from one city to another usually takes the better part of a day - even if the flight is only 1-2 hours you still have to get yourself to and from the airports, which are often well outside the cities, and to be at the airport in advance of your flight. For example, I took Ryanair to get from London to Amsterdam - the flight was one hour and $25, while the entire trip was eight hours and $100 when you account for the cost and time of the trains to get from city to airport and airport to city, and then waiting for the flight. If you took trains instead of flying, most of the train journeys you would need are at least half a day if not overnight. You should stick to 2-3 cities and really see them rather than rushing around to try to fit everything in for just 1-2 days each. If you have never been to Europe at all, I would recommend London, Paris and Amsterdam with a stopover in Brugge on your way from Paris to Amsterdam. OTOH, if for whatever reason you really want to spend two days in each of seven cities and be on a plane every other day or a sleeper train every other night, you could technically do that, but make sure it's what you want - look at airlines like Ryanair, Easyjet, Basiq Air, and Air Berlin which have very cheap flights if you book them in advance. If you want to take mostly trains, it would be possible if you drop Rome and do something like London - Paris - Barcelona, fly Barcelona to Prague, then Prague - Berlin - Amsterdam - London. |
