Kristel Member Austin, TX	# Posted: 22 Aug 2007 20:04:36 We will be backpacking Europe for 6 weeks. Here is the list of places we want to go. We are just starting to research this and I was wondering if this is too much for 6 weeks?? We'll be flying out of Houston probably. Dublin London Amsterdam Berlin (stay with friend) Dresden (stay with another friend) Rome Florence Madrid Thanks!

Nicolas Member Belgium	# Posted: 23 Aug 2007 15:15:46 Hello Kristel, I think these are a lot of places you want to visit in such a short time... Ofcourse, it all depends on how long you want to stay in a certain place, and how much you like to see. Ryanair and Easyjet are 2 low cost (when you book some time upfront) airline companies in Europe. Maybe you should have a look on their website, chances are that they can bring you fast and cheap from one place to another. My experiences with these cities: - Dublin: 2-3 days is enaugh. - London: 4 days - Amsterdam: you see it in 2 days, but probably you'll stay longer 'cause it's a great city - Berlin: minimum 3-4 days - Dresden: never been - Rome: minimum 4 days - Florence: never been - Madrid: 3 days This is without resting and "being lazy" days... Just exploring the city, visiting stuff,... Then you'll also need to take in account that you'll spend a lot of time just travelling from one place to another, so you can imagine that you're on a close schedule. greets Nicolas I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list
Kristel Member Austin, TX	# Posted: 23 Aug 2007 19:39:26 thanks so much! That helps alot. I had kind of thought 2-3 days for Dublin was good but was unsure about some others. I'm thinking we'll at least cut London out of the plan. We can always do a different trip to just London sometime, for a week or so.
