Hi VT friends,

I'm desperate needed help, I will be travelling down to Ham on 8-Jun to attend a wedding. I will be extending my stay in Germany till 16-Jun before I fly to Paris. My friend will not be available on 14-June, any suggestion what to do around in Germany? I have yet to book the domestic flight to Paris, hoping I can fly out from other part of Germany to Paris.

So far, the only place I know is Berlin.

1) Where to visit & stay on 14 & 15-Jun (Accessible to take flight to Paris)
2) What must-do / must-see at that place?

Thank you in advance....Look forward for replies at the soonest

From 8 till 13. June you'll stay in Hamburg?

There are highspeed trains from Cologne, Frankfurt and Stuttgart to Paris. You could combine Cologne and the Middle Rhine Valley and from there by ICE to Paris Est.

Don't miss the mighty Cologne Cathedral. Which is however barely possible.
Guess you're rather young: climb on the southern tower of the cathedral. Great view from a place which was the highest building on the planet when finished.

Not that you come home and think that Germany is flat from A-Z. Cute castles and nice medieval towns.

The ICE from Frankfurt to Paris Est is with its speed of up to 330 kph also an attraction on its own.

Hi there,

I will be staying till 13-Jun, free on 14-Jun onwards but I need to be at Paris by 16-June to meet my other friend.

Check the easyjet airlines website. If you book in advance it may be less than 100 EUR for Paris, from Hamburg.
