ITT: We're going to Europe in 2014!

Previous thread is a goldmine:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=151841363

I did the following this summer (solo)

Berlin -> Dresden -> Prague -> Brno -> Vienna -> Bratislava -> Budapest -> Krakow

Amazing journey.

I spent a week backpacking around Scandinavia this past summer (Denmark, Sweden, and Norway). I highly recommend that region, everything there is absolutely beautiful. Only thing is everything is mad expensive.

That's what I want to do one of the following years.

anyone know if there are spanish HBBs in magaluf/ibiza you can pull, or if it's 100% brits and scandinavians

[Glutes4DaSloots]

Bump, let's get this thread as big as the 2013 one.



Haven't bought tickets yet, but the rough itinerary is to fly into Copenhagen, and travel to Berlin, Vienna, Krakow, Bratislava, Budapest, Split, Italy, Spain (cities TBD), and fly out of Amsterdam. Hopefully 2-3 months if the financing works out.


Sounds like a lot of the misc will be hitting Ibiza this year...misc meet up?

[killsme]

most of europe is too expensive and imo overrated, except for the girls. Plenty of beautiful cheaper places to go especially in the u.s.

favorite locations? how long were you abroad?

[TaxPayingTongan]

Going to visit my grandma in the UK next year.

Not looking forward to it at all actually, haven't been since 2003 and I can only imagine how bad everything has fallen off since then, especially London. Would rather meet her in Australia or something tbh.

[duckduckgooch]

Innnnnn

Roommate and I are going for a month in February. Plan on hitting:
London
Dublin
Madrid
Barcelona
Amsterdam
Berlin
Munich
Prague
Somewhere in the Swiss Alps
Rome
Venice

Anyone with experience want to recommend other places to visit?
Also does this seem like too many places for a month?
How do you find Hostels (or any cheap places to stay)?
Was planning on this taking about $5k does that seem about right?
Is it hard to communicate or do people speak English for the most part?

Any responses would be greatly appreciated!

imo seems like too many places for only 4 weeks.
hostelworld.com
no idea on price
in most touristy areas you can find someone who speaks english but bring some type of translation

edit: on time idk, its up to you. I don't want to go to places just to say "i've been there"

when i go I'm going to sort of go when I please...have a outline of what i'm doing but no set schedule.

The US has some beautiful scenery but lacks the history of Europe.

Fallen off?

[Lama94]

Don't forget Portugal

[OrdoAbchao]

favorite locations? how long were you abroad?

To be honest my mind doesn't really allow me to be fair because there are many factors such as if you met girls there or how nice the hostel was that sort of mold your experience so trying to be as unbiased as possible i will say:

Prague
Florence
Budapest
Barcelona


I traveled for 5 weeks and 9 cities

[skinnybro]

Posting ITT because I might be living/working in Ireland after December.

[matt099]

I went last summer had a blast. Went to amsterdam munich salzburg and Florence. If you have questions on these cities I can give my opinion.

Going to Iceland for New Years.

[Sundev14]

You're skipping Munchen? What the PHUCK op... You should def go to Munchen and visit the Hofbrauhaus. Litres of Hefeweizen for your liver. Amazing eats. Great time brah.

thanks.

I'm actually currently in school but during the summer I sell life insurance haha I work three-four days a week with no set schedule, granted it is straight commission.

It is perfect for what i want to do in the next few years (work 7-8 months straight travel the rest of the year).

unaware brah here, what is Hofbrauhaus?


anyone have thoughts on berlin vs. munich vs. hamburg vs cologne? don't think i would have time for all four on my first trip and will probably have to pick two of the four.

[whiskeyjackie]

Yup. I´m from Spain and I live in Madrid. I can give some tips if any of you guys plan on traveling here. Spain is cool, what can I say. If you are looking for party ("fiesta") you can find lots of it nearly on every city. Let´s take a look.

FIESTAS DE SAN FERMIN
Navarra (North of Spain) 7 July (whole week).



Worldwide famous. 7 days of alcohol, fiesta, neverending nights and people basically going crazy. Also they have the famous "encierros" where you can run in front of giant bulls if you have what it takes.


LA FERIA DE ABRIL
Seville (South of Spain) 6-11 May 2014



A party like no other in the world. Flamenco, "sevillanas", where you can enjoy what they call "embrujo andaluz". The Feria de Abril is a reference in the world of dance, culture and way of living.


LAS FALLAS
Valencia (east coast of Spain) 15-19 March 2014

Another unique fiesta. Here, the famous "ninots" (giant figures) get burned to ashes at night, giving the visitor a WTF sensation like no other lol. Again, 5 days and nights of fiesta.








IBIZA AT SUMMER
Whole summer.


Expensive as ****, but here´s a great place if you like to club, party, go to the beach and, if lucky, pull some "pornstar" lookalike bimbos. Not really my cup of tea, as I´m not into that lifestyle, but hey








Well, there are hundreds of places to visit. I only posted some big Fiestas that I think may be interesting to you guys on the States. I don´t know if you will find this useful. If you want, I can post more and more related content about my country, not only FIESTA, but culture, food, museums, restaurants, and also about Madrid, my city. Just let me know, guys, I´m here to help.
