what do you think about this itinerary?
Tue, 02/01/2005 - 11:27
me and 2 friends are going for 10 days at the start of March for spring break
we fly out on the 3rd and land in Zurich the 4th
4th and 5th in Interlaken or some town in the Alps closer to Italy
6th Milan
7th and 8th Florence
9th,10th and the day of the 11th in Rome overnight train from Rome to Venice that night
12th Venice
13th Zurich
14th fly home
what do you think?
enough time?
been to Europe a couple times but never been to Italy or Switzerland
Definitely check out Interlaken..it’s amazing! I would skip Milan as it’s one of the least impressive citiies in Italy (too much "big city" less culture and uniqueness) and spend an extra day in either Venice or Interlaken. We took the train up from Florence to Milan, but ended up ditching our day in Milan and heading straight up to Interlaken. We were incredibly glad that we did. Sounds like quite a bit for 10 days, but it can be done, and you’ll have a great time!
the stop in Milan is for one reason and one reason only
to catch a soccer match
May be you can go straight to Florence and catch Fiorentina game?
Ya I would try to find a match in Rome or Florence if youc could. Milan is boring in my opinion. Spend that extra day in Interlaken or Venice
hmm, Fiorentina is playing in Florence on the same day as the Milan game
might be an option
Lucky! Sounds like a great trip; the timing looks pretty good, though I tend to agree with the others about skipping out on Milan on the 10-day trip if possible. Otherwise, 2 days in Florence, 1 in Venice and 3 in Rome sound about right for a ‘taste of Italy’. Have fun!
do any of you know about Bettmeralp, Switzerland?
i think we might go there instead of Interlaken
i can’t wait. what do you mean by timing? the days spent in each city or weather or something else?
I meant days spent in each city.
The weather won’t be great, but it will be pleasant.
That actually looks like a pretty darn good itinerary. The only thing I would add is driving through the Alps by Mont Blanc – the tunnel through the mountains is around 9 miles (I think) and there are great views worthy of a postcard on either end.
N…
Whats soo special about Interlaken in the summer time??
What made you ask about Bettmeralp, unless things have livened up over the last few years, the main attraction is the Aletsch Glacier, which is the longest glacier in Europe, whereas Interlaken has so much more activities. But I did like both
ahhh…so outdoory stuff…..me no like outdoors(City Boy)
well Bettmeralp is thrown out now
we might now throw out going to Interlaken or some other ski place 1st and get on a train to Italy as soon as we land and go to Florence and move everything up on the "schedule" and then go to Neustiff in Austria 2 days before we go back to Zurich and ski there
the final itinerary is in place. now time to make some reservations at hostels etc
4th we land in Zurich and we get on a train straight to Florence Italy
4th,5th,6th in Florence
7th,8th,9th in Rome
10th in Cinque Terra
11th and 12th in Interlaken
13th Zurich
14th Fly Home
hopefully get tickets to a game in Florence on the 6th as well
planning a trip to Europe at the end of April. have a flight on April 30 from Brussels to Florence, Italy; stay 1 night and travel by train to Rome for 1 night;
fly from Rome to either Milan or Geneva- stay from May 2 in the morning to May 5 and leave from Salzburg back to Brussels. My problem is how do I see some of Switzerland, preferably Interlaken and then on to Salzburg? Can I do this in 4 days? Any suggestions on whether to go to Milan or Geneva? Milan looks closer to Interlaken than Geneva, but I am not sure. Must fly out of Salzburg on May 5. What would be the best way to get to Salzburg and any suggestions of things to see on the way? Is this too much in the time frame? Thanks for any suggestions.
