Comb Your Beard posted:Anybody have tips for getting a rental car near Paris? The automatics look outrageously expensive and I don't know to drive stick. I rented a car from AutoEurope when I was living in Paris. Yeah, you get screwed with the automatic. You want to book as early as possible from what I could tell. And driving in Paris isn't fun but it isn't so terrible. Although, I only drove from the train station to Normandy and back. Speeds are slow in the city so just take it easy and you'll be fine. You need GPS.

Ras Het posted:Y'all need to give up on cars for a minute - you can take the bus to any remote backwoods hicksville basically anywhere in Europe. That's not really true. We went to Normandy to visit the beaches and countryside, and getting around via public transportation isn't really a good option. And exploring Tuscany is probably best via car. Sure, you can take a bus but then you're tied to a set schedule, etc.

We're going to be spending four days in Florence in about two weeks. I have two questions. First: Has anyone explored Tuscany via scooter? We were thinking about renting one for a day. Second: I'd love some restaurant recommendations for Florence.

Trimson Grondag 3 posted:Do any other websites sell cheap Amsterdam -> London train tickets at the same price as the Eurostar website? The Eurostar website hates all my credit cards for some reasons, but all the others I can find seem to want to sell me semi flex or other variations which cost 1.5x as much. Try this site: https://www.trainline.eu

clawed monet posted:I am going to Switzerland for 4 days and could use some advice please! I'm in Innsbruck right now and taking a train on Nov 2nd to interlaken. We get in around 3 PM and we plan on walking around the city that day. We have to leave (from Geneva airport) on the 6th at 2 pm. Is there enough to do in Interlaken for 4 days or should we go somewhere else (e.g. Bern) after a day or two? We love to hike and explore (which is what we have been doing in Innsbruck) but also like changing scenery and don't want the same mountains 3-4 days in a row. Unfortunately we are also on a student budget so we cannot afford to go on many day trips with the trains, as Swiss trains seem to be pretty expensive haha. Thank you! Interlaken is great for outdoor sports but most everything is expensive. If you're just bumming around then I think four days is too long.

Raimondo posted:I'm a little worried on how to get from my Airbnb in Madrid to the airport. My flight's on a Sunday at 6:30a. I'm assuming my best bet would be to find a taxi. How difficult is it to plan for a taxi to pick you up at a certain time in the morning? I don't speak Spanish very well so I don't know how that phone call will go. My concern is wandering the streets of Madrid at 3a with luggage in tow trying to flag one down. You could try Uber. A lot of taxi companies now have Uber-like apps that will call a taxi to your location.

Carbon dioxide posted:... don't get intimidated by those assholes distracting you by literally grabbing you and trying to put a lovely bracelet around your wrist and making you pay for it while their companion steals your stuff. If you appear like you're gonna get violent at them they gently caress off quickly. Or just ignore them completely. No eye contact, just keep walking. I used to work near the Sacre Coeur and it amazed me how many people would stop and get roped into this.

The Slack Lagoon posted:I'm hoping to be able to plan a trip to France/Paris for my wife and I. We're not very broadly traveled outside CONUS/Canada and this would be our first time in Europe. We rented a car and did Normany (mainly the WWII beaches) in February for about four days. Most days were cold and rainy but there was one nice sunny day. There were virtually no tourists there. You'll want to rent a car if you visit the beaches because there is practically no public transportation. For your length of trip, I would skip it. There is plenty to do in Paris. There are also a few day trips that are a lot closer and easier to visit than Normandy if you're looking to get out of the city. There will be plenty of Airbnbs available for Feb as there are very few visitors. I wrote up this guide to my favorite neighborhoods: https://thesavvybackpacker.com/city-guide/where-stay-paris-neighborhoods/ Omits-Bagels fucked around with this message at 12:52 on Aug 1, 2017 |

Omne posted:Wife and I are going to Paris in May (arrive the morning of the 3rd, leave the morning of the 10th). We want to have a great dinner, do a wine tour/champagne tour, possibly a day trip to Normandy. I understand on the 8th most things will be closed down for V-E Day, so not sure what we should do then. Any suggestions for the dinner/tours? Normandy is a looong day trip from Paris but it's doable. Take a train to Reims if you want to do a champagne tour.
