Categories:1 2 3 [Next]- Sometimes it is best to use an airport shuttle which will take you and several other travelers directly to your hotel. You will need to make a reservation in advance, and they will meet you at the airport and return you to the airport at the end of your stay. You won't have to worry about directions and finding your hotel, plus you will not have to worry about parking. Visit-Heidelberg.com Visit-Heidelberg.com ID1088 - Many hotels/motels in Germany, France and Switzerland (even the more expensive ones) do not have tee and coffee making facilities in the rooms. You have to either buy your cuppa from the hotel bar - or a nearby shop. This can be expensive (especially tea in France). Take a portable water boiler (under $30). This will save you money and hassles looking for open cafes in the middle of the night! Helen Smith ID1091 - If you are thinking of your European vacation as a once in a lifetime affair, make it even better by not overdoing it. When I was traveling, it seems I would always come across people that seemed to be doing a 'whirlwind tour' of Europe. They would 'hit' London, Madrid, Paris, Venice and Rome, then go home exhausted. What's the point in that? Unless you have lots of time, stick to REALLY seeing just a country or two. Two days is plenty for most places, but Rome could very well take up a week! Read the travel books and try to find the off-beaten paths ... And while you are planning your vacation, remember to update your address book before you leave. Christian Davis ID1089 - The worst mistake when planning a trip to Europe is to start with the single criteria of 'where' and then try to force feed the rest. My best advice is to plan your trip with the assumption that you will be returning to Europe for subsequent trips. Start with a good map and perceive Europe as geographic regions. Then, plan perhaps as many as 3 desired itineraries in advance. You will very likely return! Bob, ID1084 - Trying to do too much is the most common planning error. A 10-day itinerary calls for a maximum of 4 destinations - a 14-day itinerary suggests 6. And, try to plan your route for less than 4 hours of travel time to the next destination - by car or train.
