Trip to Europe
Hello all! ok, so my brother and I are finally going to Europe!! I know, it is very exciting. I love to travel!!! History and geography were my favorite subjects in school. We will be in Europe for 2 MONTHS! We have some family that lives over there, but i will get to that laer....
We will fly into Dublin, and spend about 5 or 6 days in Ireland.
Next we will fly to Glasgow, Scotland and spend about 2 or 3 days in Scotland before taking a bus/train down to blackpool/liverpool (for the day?).
Then onto northern wales. maybe a day or two in wales.
Next, we plan to go to London, but would like to see Stonehenge before...In London, we have a cousin that lives there, so no need to find lodging there. we will stay ther probally 3 or 4 days (long enough?) then we will take a train to Paris.
We will be in Paris for 2 or 3 days.
then onto Belgium and the Netherlands. I do not know much about these countrys (except their history), so i will need the most help here.
After these countrys, we want are going to Northern Germany, Hildesheim to be more exact, this is where the rest of our family lives. We will be staying with them for about a week.
After visiting with them, Next is to Denmark. everyone has told us to go here.
The next part of our journey I would like to visit Sweden. Go to stockholm, and surrounding areas. Most likely a bus from copenhagen to stockholm. we will then return through Copenhagen, and then to Hildesheim, Germany. After saying goodbye to the family, we we go south from here.
Go through Cologne, Bonn, frankfurt,wurzberg, rothenburg, (the Romantic Road) all the way to Neuschwanstein Castle and Munich. this whole journey would take probally a week. (yes?)
Then we will go onto Salzburg (a day) Vienna (2 days), Innsbruck & Vaduz Liechtenstein (a day), and into Switzerland. We will then eventually come to Bern, switzerland where a Foreign exchange student was from back in High School (and we will be staying with her, she has already written us).
After switzerland, we plan to go to Italy. Milan, Verona, Venice, florence, Pisa, siena, Rome, Vaatican City, Naples, and then back to Rome. We will then fly from Rome to Dublin, then Dublin to Home.
So this is what I am asking YOU! please give any tips, sites, LODGING, transportation, resturants, cheap fun, information on Belgium/Netherlands, places to miss, places not to miss, rough parts of town (to miss), and anything else you can think of! We are on a budget...cheap as much possible. Willing to "splurge". We each have about $8000 between the 2 of us. <u><b>2 Months</b></u>, flying into and out of Dublin, Ireland. We love the country side...city not to much, but want to see city as well.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Matt, first do a search on this forum for the places you plan to go. Believe me a lot of info will come up. After you read all the info you can then begin to ask more specific questions.
Also invest in one or two good guide books for each area. I really like the Michelin green guides. These will give you some ideas of what to do. You can make some tentative plans based on your interests.
You are planning quite an extensive trip & the amount of info you are requesting is overwhelming. Please do some research on your own & ask some specific questions such as "In Paris should I stay in the 6th or the 19th?"
We will all be glad to help at that point.
