What Guidebook did you use, if you used any at all?

Hey Guys. When I went for my 4 week Europe trip, I purchased a book called Party Earth-Europe. It is a guide, actually, to different bars, clubs restaurants and others venues around major cities in Europe. The best thing I felt about this guide was that, the reviews are tailored to individual personalities. What happens is, there are 4 characters in the book that have different personalities. For example, When I went to London (almost everybody knows London is outrageously expensive) I followed the recommendations of a character (Emma.

Book ahead or wait until I'm there? EasyJet/RyanAir

I will be taking 3 flights in Europe and I’m wondering if I should book my flights now or wait and hope that the prices don’t increase and book when I’m there.
I understand by not booking now that it allows for more flexibility, but I also do not want the prices to increase and end up having to pay an arm and a leg.
If anyone has any info on the airports listed below, I welcome all information.

VCE —> FCO $22 EasyJet
CIA —> GRO $30 RyanAir *Not looking forward to using these airports.
BCN —> CDG $46 EasyJet

THANKS!

MUC, VIE, ZRH, from CHS, CLT, ATL, TPA in July

Hi,

This is my first post here. I usually fly to Europe about twice a year and in the past 6 years or so I have always been able to find some sort of a reasonable deal. For example, last summer we flew from IAD to MUC between June 10 and August 10 and paid $2000 for 4 tickets. When we fly out of CHS, we usually pay about $680 per ticket.

Anyways, this summer, I am not able to find ANYTHING below $800. I would like to fly between June 30 and July 10th and return between July 30th and August 10th. At least 4 weeks.

I really need to stay below $800 per ticket incl everything.

Travel party

Hello,

I’ll be travelling in East Europe in June and July. Will anyone be around there by then?
I’ve no idea if there’s a way to check that on the website, but if there’s not, I can share my itinerary!

Anyway, it would be nice to meet some travelers Smile

First Timer Planning Trip - 28 Days

At this point I have made several different itineraries but this one seems to look like the one that will work the best and I would like some input. It will be my first time going over to Europe and I want to pack it all in. Is this too much? Is there a better route? What should I add/delete? I plan on taking the EuRail to most cities but what’s the easiest mode of transportation from city to city (e.g. london to dublin, dublin to paris, paris to barcelona and barcelona to rome specifically)?

Rough Draft itinerary of Europe. Help please =)

It’s my and my boyfriends ( I’m 21 and he’s 25 ) first trip to Europe so we’re really trying to suck it all in without killing ourselves. We’re not big into parties or anything and we’d like to throw in a little bit of everything… Food, beach, scenery, history, museums, mountains, city life, architecture…ect.

We plan on getting the unlimited railpass for the 21 countries so I’m hoping that a few of my rides will be overnight trains, and a few of the places along the way will just be day trips.

I just put together a rough draft of my trip to see what people thought of it.

Sail Europe + US

While aboard you will learn the basics of sailing, log your miles and obtain a diploma (not to mention seeing beautif
