I am really new with all these travel adventures! I am getting married next year and we decided that for our honeymoon we would travel to Europe for two weeks. I am usually extremely organized and thought this would be an easy trip to plan. However, since I have never traveled out of the states, this is all "Greek" to me . So here is my plan, we want to fly into Rome, Italy (spend a couple days) , travel to Florence by train (I do want to see Pompeii for a bit while traveling to Florence, not sure if this is doable). From Florence, we plan to travel by Train again to Paris France, then travel to Belgium (not exactly sure where) and then last but not least end our adventure in Munich Germany, amtrak travel vacations where we will fly back home from. Does this sound like a good first timers trip? I know we will be exhausted but we really want to visit all that we can, and everything we don't have time for just gives us a reason to go back . Is this trip doable and can we take the train everywhere? Can we leave our luggage in the train as well? Will i be able to find tickets to travel on train, cause it seems as if i cant buy them that far in advance. Someone please amtrak travel vacations help. I really want this trip to work. I just need to know the mechanics. Thank you all so much!
You will be exhausted in any case so perhaps you could simplify amtrak travel vacations your trip a bit and see more in fewer places. For instance, 2 days is not nearly enough for Rome, especially since you will be jet lagged. And while it isn't ideal, you might want to see Pompeii as a day trip from Rome. So you should amtrak travel vacations plan on 4-5 days minimum in Rome.
Then consider traveling to Florence for 3 days and Venice for 3 days (Venice is very romantic). Then train or fly to Paris for the remaining 4 days . You see that there is not nearly enough time for these cities when you factor in travel time, etc. Save Belgium and Munich for next time.
No, this isn't really do-able. amtrak travel vacations You can't visit Pompeii on the way from Rome to Florence because Pompeii is south of Rome and Florence is north of it. The first thing you need is a map. Once you have it, you can figure out distances.
A couple of days in Rome, at the beginning of a trip when you're amtrak travel vacations blitzed from jet lag, isn't even worth it. You'll want at a minimum 4 days, only 3 of which will really amtrak travel vacations be useful, as the first one will be largely lost to getting settled. If you want to use one day to make a daytrip to Pompeii, that's possible, though you might want to simplify things and just go to Ostia Antic instead.
I'm not clear what you're asking about the luggage and trains. No, you can't leave your luggage on a train if you're not actually on the train. Of course, when you're on it, your luggage is on it, too.
You'll pay more for train tickets if you buy them on the spot. Every country's national train system has a website where you can buy cheap tickets amtrak travel vacations online in advance. For Italy it's trenitalia.com . For France it's sncf.com .
As well as the two train sites mentioned above you may like to look at bahn.de which offers train routes across much of mainland europe and seat61.com which explains how the train companies work in most of europe (it is Uk based but covers other countries).
Bookiing amtrak travel vacations trains ahead of time generally get you a good deal but note that these prices can be for a specific train/specific date and time (so if it leaves and you are not on it then your ticket is worthless).
We spent 2 of 4 weeks in Italy. So, I second the suggestion about sticking to Italy, amtrak travel vacations only. Actually, we ended up being tired anyway. amtrak travel vacations Moving on is stressful. Avoiding stress and fatigue should be your priority number one.
If we could go back, I would skip one of these bases. I don't consider Pompeii as a must in a honeymoon, but Capri and Amalfi Coast murmur "honeymoon". The sunset at Sorrento (or Sant'agnello, can't remember) is really special. Tuscany and Venice are a must for any "honeymooner". Cinque Terre villages are cozy, with amazing views, amtrak travel vacations but you have to change trains twice to get there. Connections are stressful. There's also a lot of hills, you may get tired.
Not sure what you mean by leaving luggage on the train. Do you mean can you leave it at your seat while you go to the restroom or dining car - yes (although we prefer to watch it). If you mean leave it on the train while you get off - no way. The train (and your luggage) would be going on to the next city and would eventually go to the lost luggage office.
You really need either buy a basic travel book or go to the library and look at travel books. You will find some valuable information in the introductory chapters there. All about train travel, for example.
Although seasoned travelers may disagree, I suggest you look for Rick Steves's books. They are basic, and certainly adequate for newbies. amtrak travel vacations Maybe start with his Italy book and work from there. Fodor's basic books are also useful.
