      I agree, plus summer in europe is the best time omg, summer in italy is beautiful (little bias maybe because i grew up there) but yeah definetely visit Rome, i went in june and let me tell you it was the best damm city i visited, the smells and mood in those ancient historical streets is out of this world.

    One trip, one week, one BIG city. 10 days to 14, add one other big city (London/Paris) and don't expect to see it all. This will allow you to hit some highlights and linger over lunch. Eat your big meal for lunch, or assemble a picnic from a local grocery. Dinners are substantially pricier, so plan to eat a lighter portion in the evening. Lots of restaurants in Paris do take-away and we dined splendidly on the balcony back in our room.

    I've read a lot and heard a lot about not traveling through the entire continent. I live in the American continent, so traveling so many times to explore an specific area it's really expensive specially for the flights. I think that the majority of people who go backpacking through the entire continent are the young people who don't have so much money to go to Europe every vacation. I include myself. I don't think it is wrong to try to visit cities as much as we can. If we just focused on one we may not be able to visit other ones ever again. So we have to take the chance when going for the first time :)
    Just my humble opinion.

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Před 8 lety +3

      +Yoa Cervantes I know what you mean but when I backpacked through Europe on a budget I still wish I had went to less places because there were a few spots I wanted to explore more of but we didn't have time to.

    • @khalidcarrillo1132
      @khalidcarrillo1132 Před 7 lety +2

      I think you could end up spending more money by travelling to many cities rather than flights. You can easily find roundtrip flights from America to Europe from 700$. Sometimes less depending on time. Trains and travel within Europe isn't always cheap, especially trains.

    Last year took my first trip to Europe and went to Ireland. I figured they speak English and I could not get too lost, it is an island. What I have told people after my trip is to ask the folks at the front desk where the locals go for food and drink. If you are on a tour and there is a bit of time as you are waiting to get back on the bus, chat with the bus driver, as they likely really know the area. Have structured time, but allow for unstructured time - like a combo laundry day and chillax time.
    This year I am off to the Cote d'Azur for about 3 weeks. I start of in Marseille, then will visit a friend in Cannes for 2 weeks and my friend is looking forward to my notes and pictures of Marseille and the surrounding areas, as they have never been. I will eventually fly out from Nice.
    Also, the internet is your friend. For example, using the internet, you can find specialized airport shuttle buses that run into various cities, at various locations, which may be close to your hotel, which is cheaper than a cab, or train. Or find your place on a map, zoom in a bit, then use the map functions to find, restaurants, bars, food stores, etc, and then click n those locations for web sites, hours, etc. Also handy to find where bus stops, subway stops and train stations are relative to where you will be. Or where the nearest laundromat is located.
    For me, whether travelling domestically or internationally, I try to avoid chain restaurants. The exception is that in Europe I do want to go to a McDonalds just to see the different menu items.
    Lastly, I always have a notebook (a regular spiral bound paper one) handy so I can write things down, like what I did on a particular day, what I saw, what I ate. Why? Well, I am a bit of an idiot and if I do not write it down, I will forget, or get thing wrong. Bonus, you make notes of places to go back to, or write down the web site of a product(s) - especially if they ship internationally. A bonus for me was surfing the web and finding that the Museum of the French Foreign Legion is a short (20 minutes) train ride from Marseille, then about a mile walk to the museum. Perfect! Hit that in the morning then relax in Marseille in the afternoon.
    For the record, I travel solo and family groups always seem willing to look out for the nice, polite, solo traveler. Like the evening myself, a couple from Houston, a couple from Australia, and the Irish tour guide killed off a bottle of Bushmill's coming back by train from Galway to Dublin.

    Instead of Dublin, Ireland has some really nice towns like Galway, Cork and Kerry to visit. In the UK I really like Bath, Edinburgh and Cornwall. Munich in Germany, Davos in Switzerland, Nice and Bordeaux in France, Florence and Venice in Italy and Algarve in Portugal were a few of my non-capital city favourites.

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Před 8 lety

      Thank you! I see what you mean, but are you talking about not necessarily booking things? That's where the flexibility and spontaneity goes out the window because you're stuck to those bookings. But I agree on the stuff that isn't booked, you can totally plan but also be ready to adjust if you so choose!

    Good suggestions! I've been to Rome, Northern Italy twice and Lugano, Switzerland twice the last week of May and the first two of June. I'm so glad we went at that time of the year before the crowds and the heat arrived and that we did, just like you say, a few days in each city and day trips instead of trying to visit many countries in just 2-3 weeks. This year I was tempted to do a couple of other countries in August but after watching this I think I'll just postpone it to the first two weeks of November. I hope it's not too cold in Germany, which is one of the countries we want to visit this time. Northern Italy is a must for any trip we make to Europe ( I just love that area). Any suggestions?

My friends and I are planning a Europe trip over the summer, and from your video i heard it wasn t agood idea, but we have no other choice since this is for our grad/senior trip. We are planning to visit Rome, Venice, Turin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris, and Marseille in 21 days. Yes this is going to be a little too short to truly visit everything but we just wanted to get and experience. My questions are: how long do you think in each of the cities we should stay? also for transportation we were thinking of using interail.. do you know much about it? or if it is worth it? Thanks

    Good advice on not trying to cover too much ground. Went to Italy with family last summer and visited four cities in about 8 days. I think I could have spent the entire time in Rome -- the most interesting city I've experienced in my life thus far! Our two days were amazing, but I left feeling like there was so much I DIDN'T get to see. Hope to make a longer trip in the future.

What is a nice pace for 3 months of travel? I was thinking 3 nights per destination. Then every 3 weeks- stop in a place for a week. What do you think? Where would you stop for a week if you were a beach loving musician girl traveling solo on a shoestring? I love your videos! Keep up the good work 😀

      +Tough Love Hi! Sounds like you're going to have an AWESOME trip! At minimum 3 nights per city/town is good, but if you can leave yourself a lot of flexibility, then you can choose your favourite places to stay for longer than that. For example, I have a feeling you'll really like San Sebastian, so you'll most likely want to hang there for a while. I think you might like Barcelona and Seville too. Have you thought about Croatia? It's absolutely gorgeous there, and lots of beaches.

    I am Czech, but in general if you want to have calm vacations during summer, visit not so popular spots.... And also visiting central and Eastern Europe is a good experience.... Not so crowded like Netherlands, Belgium (except Prague, Budapest etc.). But to travel through all countries properly would need months...... Even I have not been to probably half of the EU countries yet......maybe more...

    First trip coming up in May and my travel buddy and I are planning the free walking tours that are offered in every city for a few hours the first day. Leaving all days after that to roam around with at least a general idea of the area. And as these tours are all just "show up here"/no reservation tours, we can change our mind at any time.

    My friend and I want to go backpacking in Europe but the only time we can is over the summer starting late June. We would like to see some of the touristy attractions but don't want to spend too much money, so how do we still get a real feel for the countries while saving money and not missing out?

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Před 7 lety

      Hey Ophelia! Research free things to do in each city and don't do the "touristy attractions"-- they aren't "the real feel" and will cost money.

    Might throw in a day trip to London...
    let me know if this itinerary is too crowded or if it could work well...thank you!

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Před 8 lety

      Hi Giancarlo! Honestly, it depends on what you want to do. There are some nice day trips from Venice that you can take if you stay longer, but if you just want to see some of the popular sites then a day and a half should be enough. I haven't been to Santorini or Mykonos so I'm afraid I can't help you on that one! And if you make it to London PLEASE try to come for more than a day, you won't be able to even scratch the surface :)

    Thank you so much for posting very useful information. I just have a couple of questions, I am currently deployed in a mission in Africa and can go for around 15 days (less taking into consideration my traveling days), so I want to do a Euro trip. My ideals places to visit were London, Amsterdam, Paris, Switzerland and if possible Italy, depending on the time an money, by train. Which of these countries would you recommend having in mind that Amsterdam is a must for me? Also, I have august and January available to do so, would you recommend January?

    • @Kapelmeyster
      @Kapelmeyster Před 5 lety

      No. You will get too tired to enjoy the trip that way. You can visit nearby attractions in France or Switzerland. For example, near Paris, there are several interesting points for a visit - Versailles is one of them (and this alone would take most of your day).

    @Telescope1LH Před 8 lety

    I agree about waiting around in airports, catch the train you don't have arrive 2 hours before the flight no problem claiming bags just turn up and go. There are tickets you can advance that give you 4 days unlimited train travel in Europe. You stay in one place until you decide to move on and use a day on your ticket. The station are nearer town centre and you can see the country during the trip.

  • @AymanTravelTransport
    @AymanTravelTransport Před 7 lety

    I'd interrail through various cities and take pictures of landmarks (I enjoy riding trains and filling up my instagram account) - most interested in modern architecture so I'd enjoy being in places like La Defence in Paris, Northern Quarter in Brussels, Frankfurt Innenstadt (went there once during a 4 hour layover), Rotterdam Centraal, Zuidas in Amsterdam, Donau Stadt in Vienna, etc. and of course, there's the food! Not gonna bother following advice #2 as you can see, so I can spend as little money as possible on top of the Interrail pass and still visit all the cities I want (besides, the train journeys would be part of the experience and I am a train enthusiast) - thinking of doing Brussels - Rotterdam - Amsterdam - Dusseldorf - Cologne - Frankfurt - Berlin - Prague - Vienna - Innsbruck/Munich (which one do you recommend?) - Zurich - Basel - Bern - Geneva - Lyon - Paris and then back to London, all in a week - how insane do I sound on a scale of 1 to 10?

    Hi, I was planning to visit Europe with my partner in mid to late March 2018 for about 15-20 days. I was thinking Spain and a few more countries to pair with. We like perfect weather to a lil chilly, but not too cold. Not hot for sure. We like to party at night, and also take in breathtaking views if possible. We don't like crowded places, unless it's an EDM concert. :P Which cities do you recommend we visit?

    • @wu-tangswordstyle3153
      @wu-tangswordstyle3153 Před 5 lety +1

      Gabriela Carrasco if you’re going in fall, you can’t go wrong with southern Italy, my personal choice would be Sorrento, incredible views, food (Frankies bar is a personal fave), and some amazing tours available around the Amalfi coast, Ischia (make sure to visit the gardens of La Mortella), Capri, Positano. There’s an incredible hotel just outside the town of Sorrento called Sea Club Azzurra which is at the bottom of a cliff and is one of the most striking hotels I’ve ever seen location wise. Make sure you take a walk up to Massa Lubrense if you go there for an authentic small Italian town. Other fall destinations I would pick would be Nice, Barcelona, Malaga, Lisbon, Monaco. If you go in the winter, I’d recommend Interlaken, Freiburg, Strasbourg, Brussels, Bergen, Vienna, Zermatt, and anywhere close to the alps or Italian lakes for some great views and hopefully snowy weather! Be sure to visit some Christmas markets if you go in December!

    Hi! I was wondering about staying in a hostel, do you recommend booking in advance? Is it cheaper that way?

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  Před 8 lety

      Hi Olivia, depends on when you're traveling-- if it's the high season or a busy time (like Oktoberfest in Munich) you'll want to book in advance. I've never not booked one at least a few days in advance, just in case. It's usually cheape to book in advance because you won't be stuck for choice, you'll have plenty of options which probably won't be the case if you wait and you could be stuck with an expensive option. Hope that helps!
