I have a list of cities I want to go to, but I don't know how to do it and in what order
17 years ago, February 20th 2007 No: 1 Msg: #10935  
The following cities I plan on attedning are (in no particular order): Madrid, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and Stockholm (although Stockholm does have to be that last stop). Where should I land and begin my travel? In what order should these cities be in? Should I use Eurorail or fly to the cities? Help me out please Reply to this

it would be somewhat helpful to know where you will fly in from... personally I would chose barcelona rather than madrid and work your way north with train and or hitchhiking in the order you already used, putting berlin after amsterdam and before copenhagen... fill your alcoholic tanks before the north if you don't want to spend too much...

I'd do Paris first then Madrid and Berlin (inter-rail) and then do Stockholdm, Copenhagen and Amsterdam.

I'd definitely rail through all of them - depending on your time frames - we met some great people and really got a sense of the countries we visited this way.

I agree with Mark, Barcelona better than Madrid.
In which case I'd start from Barcelona (or Madrid), fly to Paris, train to Berlin, train to Amsterdam, train/coach/whatever to Copenhagen, train/coach to Stochholm

Hmmmmm..... Europe ha?
Why dont you try Africa. Do an overland - Cairo to Cape Town, more cities than you have fingers.
Just a thought, hoping you take it seriously. Reply to this

Time of year for travel can also determine order to visit these cities. I usually fly from USA to best priced city first to save some bucks. Then I connect the cities by traveling in one direction, whether it be a straight line or circle. Since Stockholm is your last stop, I would travel from southernmost to northernmost. If money is an issue, check online with European budget airlines (do a Google search) for flights, as sometimes they are cheaper (and of course travel is much faster) than rail travel. But if you want a true travel experience, rail travel really gives you that (you can see much more, meet other travelers, etc.) and probably doesn't cost too much more. If the trip is longer than two weeks, use Eurorail pass, but any shorter, it is sometimes cheaper to purchase individual tickets. You can get all the fares, etc. online these day. Good luck.
