I'm planning on taking a euro trip this winter with a few friends. We are planning on visiting cities in Germany, Switzerland and France. Anyone have tips on places to visit? Or maybe if some of you are in those areas we can visit
Anyone have tips on places to visit?
Dagenais said:No, but the movie Euro Trip is hilarious! Maybe you can rent the DVD and play it on your laptop during the flight.
It fits the occasion!

the train system is extensive in Europe: you can travel anywhere.

I go everywhere on my bicycle, there are special roads for bikes so cars are not a problem. I've known people who commuted 40 km to work and 40 km back, everyday.Dagenais said:How is the bike riding in Europe?

Bike riding not a good idea in France? Every heard of the tour-de-france? just kidding :rofl:

Moonbear said:This is what Tsu and I did. It was a great time and very affordable. Also, the small price increase for first class is well worth it. Just beware that as we did, you may run into a private line in the more remote areas. We were halfway to Zermat before we knew that this train was not included.
Moonbear said:I've been told that in Paris, you aren't allowed to put the parking brake on when parking. When someone needs to squeeze into a parking space, they just bump the nearby cars out of the way to make enough room. Apparently those who drive to Paris have an old beat-up car for that city because of this. But I haven't been there to see this for myself, I just take the word of my French friends who are biased about the city because they live out in the country.
jimmy p said:Go to see the worlds largest cuckoo clock. I can't remember where it is but it is between Stuttgart in Germany and Strassbourg in France... I think. The Black Forest is very impressive.
Hahaha, uhh... :yuck:Ivan Seeking said:I swear to you, the conductor threatened to kick us off right in the middle of the Alps! He would only accept Swiss cash; NOW! Luckily I had enough Swiss currency from coffee change to pay for a ride in the caboose.
Moonbear said:Is this Europe's version of a roadside attraction? The best they could come up with was a cuckoo clock? How droll. The world's largest ball of string is surely a better thing to see, and you only get that sort of quality attraction in the US. :tongue: :rofl: :rofl:
The best time to visit these countries is during the summer months, from June to August. This is when the weather is the warmest and most pleasant, and many outdoor activities and festivals are held. However, keep in mind that this is also peak tourist season, so expect larger crowds and higher prices.
The cost of a Euro trip can vary greatly depending on your travel style and preferences. However, on average, you can expect to spend around $100-150 per day for budget travel, $200-300 per day for mid-range travel, and $400+ per day for luxury travel. Keep in mind that these costs include accommodation, transportation, food, and activities.
If you are a citizen of the United States, Canada, or any other country within the European Union, you do not need a visa to visit these countries for stays of up to 90 days. However, if you are from a country outside of the EU, it is best to check with the respective embassies for visa requirements.
There are countless must-visit attractions in Germany, Switzerland, and France. Some popular ones include the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, and the Swiss Alps in Switzerland. Other notable attractions include the Rhine Valley in Germany, Lake Geneva in Switzerland, and the Louvre Museum in Paris.
It is recommended to start by deciding which cities and attractions you want to visit in each country. Then, consider the distance between each destination and plan your route accordingly. It is also important to factor in transportation time and costs. Additionally, leave some flexibility in your itinerary for unexpected events or changes in plans. Lastly, make sure to prioritize your must-visit attractions and leave some room for leisure and relaxation.
