      Is first week of June a good time to visit?

      Borobudur 41 minutes ago

      I am planning to fly to Jogja in the first week of June to visit Borobudur and Prambanan. I hope to be able to stay at the Princess Manohara Hotel (if room is available) and wonder if this is a good time of the year to visit both UNESCO World Heritage sites, re: weather wise and people wise (how busy it gets at this time of year)? Appreciate any relevant advice.

    • travelling through allenby to jifna

      Ramallah 55 minutes ago

      Hello, I'm a canadian citizen just going to ramallah for vacation for three weeks very soon. We are landing in jordan and taking the Allenby bridge. I was wondering if there is anything specific we need to worry about. We are simply landing in jordan and going straight over the border, and then leaving from jordan at the end of the trip. We are staying in Jifna/Ramallah for most of the trip. Can anyone offer any advice or tips? I have been reading things about needing visas, etc, but I am not sure, considering our canadian citizenship, and brand new passports, that we will encounter any trouble or need more documentation. Also, what is the best and cheapest way after hopefully crossing the border, that we can get to our hotel?

      Spain road trip help

      Spain 18 hours ago

      My Girlfriend and I are about to do a car trip to Spain and the beginning of July. I got a flight gift so we have 2 options: start and finish in Madrid or flying to Madrid and coming back from Bilbao.

      We looking for about 10 days trip, 2-3 of them in Madrid. I want to visit some pueblos, maybe driving some beautiful roads and basically enjoy the culture.

      So, for the first option (Madrid-Madrid) I'm thinking: Madrid-Segovia-Avila-Salamanca-Valladolid-Burgos-Soria-Teruel-Madrid.

      For the 2nd option (Madrid-Bilbao) I'm thinking: Madrid-Segovia-Avila-Salamanca-Leon-Picos de Europa-Santander-Pamplona-San Sebastian

      What do you think? Which one is better? For the 2nd option this is to much for 10 days? for the 1st option its not enough for 10 days? Any other places you can recommend for the road?

      Also, we prefer not to know exactly where we will be every night so is it a must to book hotels in advance or I will be able to find nice rooms one day in advance?

      Beach close to Pietermaai Smal Apartments

      Curaçao 22 hours ago

      I have pre-bookes a room at Pietermaai Smal Apartments located on the street Pietermaai in central Willemstad around this years Christmas and New Year.

      I have done a some googeling, read a lot on TripAdvisor and the hotels homepage as well the Curasao tips here on VT, but I can not find any good information regarding the beaches close to Pietermaai. Is it a beach near the hotel? How is it? From what I understand the mose beautiful beach close to Willemstad is the one close to the Sea Aquarium. Is that right? From Google Maps I can see the distanse from Pietermaai to the Sea Aquariumis about 4 km; too far for walking. How much by taxi? Or will we find a bus?

      Thanks.

      Hello all,
      I am trying to book a local flight from IST to Izmir on pegasus or atlasjet or someother local airlines, it says baggage allowed is 15 KGs , is this just for check in luggage? do they allow anything inside the cabin as hand luggage? it was not clear on their website. We also want to book ticket from Izmir to athens, will it be different since it is international? If anyone travelled could clarify about cabin and check in baggage allowed in these airlines I would appreciated, Thanks so much in adavance, I called the airlines call center but no one picks up the phone.

      Does someone know how much the taxi from Girona airport to Girona city centre will cost? I found one page saying it would be 22e. Our flight will arrive at 23.45, so we will miss the 23.30 bus. Or then we need to wait for the 00.30 bus. I don´t want to book anything, in case we might be late or even too early (it has happened with Ryanair sometimes!) The triip is in the end of August, so no hurry. Just curious..

    • Sights recommendations and a discounts card for the European biggest cities?

      Europe May 19, 2013 at 6:24 AM

      Dear fellow travellers,

      In July & August I will be visiting Venize, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Lisabon, Porto, Paris, Brussel, Berlin, Prague and Vienna.

      What would be the few DO-NOT-MISS sights for these cities?

      Since I will not have too much time and money I would visit just a few major must see sights in each of these cities, the rest I will just wander around enjoying the free views and the city. I'm not too much into museums though. But I love scenic and beautiful architecture. I've read about must-see sights on some of these cities. For example in Paris I will skip the tourist trap - entering the Eiffel tower, but I will climb Notre Damme instead. I'll do Versailles, but don't know about Louvre. In Rome I believe Colosseum and Forum are a must? As well as Vatican. In Barcelona there is Gaudi... How about other cities?

      And since these tickets are quite expensive... Is there some kind of CARD or membership that has some valuable dicounts if buying entrance tickets online in advance for popular sights in these cities?
      I am NOT an EU citizen, but I am an Europe citizen - from Montenegro. I will be exactly 30 years old during my journey.

      Thanks!

      I previously posted a planned 5 week trip (beginning next year August/Sept, want to plan early and save up). Here's a revised itinerary:

      Boston 3 nights
      Chicago 3 nights
      Detroit 4 nights (necessary family visit)
      Vegas 3 nights

      New Orleans 3 nights
      Miami 5 nights

      Any tips or suggestions? Seems a bit too city orientated I know, but as we DON'T drive, how could we access more 'natural' places? Also, hotels in some of these cities (San Fran, Boston) seem to be very expensive. Are motels recommended?

      Hope someone can help!

      Scotlands malt whisky trail and the great glen way

      Scotland May 19, 2013 at 2:42 AM

      I represent a group of med students. We are willing to visit scotland's malt whisky trail in July and we have some questions regarding it. First of all, after walking the great glen way from Fort William, we will be traveling from Inverness on foot or by public transport to the region of the whisky trail. We will only be able to stay there for 2 days and we'd like to see and experience the essence of scottish whisky. Would you be able to recommend us the best way to travel between the distilleries? Could you also suggest us which distilleries are a must-see, since we probably wont be able to visit them all?
      We've also heard that in July the great glen way is occupied with small flies which are unbearable. Is it true?
      Thanks for your advice :)
