italy

Okay, so I originally wanted to go to Europe next May and June, but I realized that I would not have enough money saved up by then to go for very long. However, I do NOT want to go during July or August due to there being waaaaay too many tourists at this time and flights being ridiculously expensive also. Thus I am currently planning to go in September and October of 2009 instead, when the weather will still be nice/not too cold and flights cheaper. This will also give me the whole summer to save up more money, so that I will be able to go for longer and to more places.

I am interested in buying a France-Germany-Italy Eurail pass and going from Venice-Munich by train with it. I realize I would have to pass through Austria for this, however I once read somewhere that Salzburg, Austria is included in with Germany’s railpass, and this would be the city that the train would pass through, I imagine. Does this mean I can use the pass without having to buy an extra part to cover the Austria leg?
The Salzburg being incl.

My girlfriend and I are doing our first Eurotrip next summer and could use all the advice we can get. We would be traveling May 25 until June 21, so roughly 28 days. We want to fly into Dublin, make our way over to England, and head to Italy, stopping in various countries such as France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and Austria. With a 28 day trip, is it feasible to Fly into Dublin, travel to England, then to France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria and finally Italy, then fly back to the United States from Italy?

One thing I hear a lot is not to “cram”.

I’m 22, I’m a student about to graduate and I’m an Argentinian, but I have also the Spanish nationality. I speak english, some french and, obviously, spanish. I’ll be traveling, probably, in Feubrary and for 2 months (aprox.). My destinations are Spain, France, and may be England or Italy. I’ll try working abroad.
If someone is interested in traveling along, please do tell.
Thanks.

Manuel

P.S.: I hope you’ll understand my english…

As of now, I am booked to arrive in Rome on the 17th of April at 9am. I booked my first Hostel at Allsesandro Palace (any feedback on that place?) I am going to be there for 4 days. After that I am open. The only thing I know I want to see is Florence and Venice.

Is Two Weeks too much time for just Rome, Florence, and Venice???

Internet Premiere

My latest film “Don Corleone’s Island” presents highlights of Sicily (Italy) and Malta, starring a “Godfather” movie shrine, the Mt Etna volcano, Greek Temple of Concord, fantastic Roman mosaics, a Norman mountain top castle, vivid Byzantine mosaics in a Catholic cathedral; then Malta’s landscape of 16th Century walls and forts, the scenic former Arab fortress of Mdina, and a tour of Malta’s Grand Harbor.

Hello there fellow travellers, I will be doing some travelling around Europe in the Autumn and one of my planned stops is Italy. I’ll have just over a week there but the questions I want to ask is if it would be better to go up north and visit cities like Milan, Venice and Verona or perhaps head a bit further south and take in Rome and Naples. I’ve heard that the food in Naples is the best in Italy but that there is also a lot of crime there. Which do you think are the best cities to visit in a limited amount of time? Culture, food and value for money are all factors I’m interested in.
