Euro Trip......

[Wirra436]

Hey all,

Im heading over to Scotland (Dundee) to visit my sister late April.

I Arrive April 28th and leave May 16th, so around 19 days.

A day or two will be spent in London and than to Scotland to see my sister, after that I will have about 2 weeks available to see a bit of Europe.

This my first time travelling there so I'm wanting some info on what to do in those two weeks and top places I should see.

* Perhaps a Contiki? Seeing it's my First time and covers a few places?

* Do it myself and book my own places and own sight-seeing?

I am an independent traveller, having travelled through South America, USA and Japan and do not usually partake in group tours. However last year I went on a group tour through India which was quite fun.

I have always wanted to visit Prague and Amsterdam.

Also what will the weather be like at that time? Cold?

Any info appreciated

Cheers,
Wirra

Hi Wirra

Where to start! So many places to choose from.

I wouldn't try and do too much. Maybe just pick a couple of places and spend a good amount of time in each.

Flying around Europe can be pretty cheap. Check out Easy Jet and Ryan Air for cheap flights.

http://www.skyscanner.com.au/ is an awesome site for finding cheap flights.

Prague is beautiful - there are lots of towns in the Czech Republic that are stunning and it's not that expensive.

Personally, I really enjoyed some of the eastern parts of the continent like Bulgaria, Albania, Montenegro. Beautiful scenery, nice beaches and a little off the radar for tourists.

The Baltic counties up north are great too.

It all comes down to what you want to get out of a trip to Europe.

Cheers

Jamie
