I am finally making it back to Europe w/ my friend and our itinerary is..(drum roll)

- 3 days in Amsterdam
- 2 days in Brugges
- 3 days in Paris (we have both been before)
- 3 days in Dijon (and surrounding areas)
- 3 days in munich

any special reason for going to Munich ? There are more interesting destinations in Europe.

Hi-Can you give us a little background before we rip apart your itinerary? Have you been to Europe before? Have you been to any of these cities before? What are your primary interests? For instance, Amsterdam can be seen in a day if your goal is to see the main sights, although obviously one can linger in any city for a number of days.

OK, I posted too quickly, just saw that you've both been to Europe before. Je m'excuse. But still, please give some more details about your hobbies, interests, etc.

Unlike nbujic I loved Munich, a city I could live in. A great walking city, wonderful market area, beautiful Englisher park. Plus lots of good restaurants.

Can't comment on Amsterdam (haven't been there) but certainly loved Brugges and tho' I only had a day could have spent two. Also, don't know Dijon.

Sorry, I was so excited to post this question that I left stuff out! I am looking at roughly two weeks in Europe. I love historic, old, charming cites, good food, and moderate prices. I heard Munich was interesting and it is rather cheap to fly out of but if you have any other suggestions... We will be flying into Dusseldorf on Sept. 18th.(FYI)

Like Nancy, I enjoyed Munich. I haven't been to Dijon, but think the rest of your plan has a nice mix of different places. And, given that you've both been to Paris, the time allocations seem reasonable to me. Hope that helps!

Great choice of cities, and Munich is wonderful.

Octoberfest in Munich starts sept 22nd for 2 weeks you might have trouble getting an hotel, Dusseldorf old city and by the river is wonderful.

My comment is that the days you've allotted should be actual time in the locations, and additional days or half-days s/b added for the travel time in between the locations. That includes checking out of hotel, getting to the station, the train ride, getting to the next hotel and checking in.

What if I decided to stay w/in the Beneleux area and Germany? Any suggestions on itinerary for two wks?
