Hi
We are having a day trip to Venice from Lago di Garda and are going by train. I know that the station is in a great location but as we are short on time how long does it take walking (with a 6 year old!) from the station to a central location (St Marks?) or is a water bus a lot quicker option, and are they near the station anyway?
Thanks

Hi, I am considering renting a flat in calle de santiago which I think is in el Barrio. I haven't been to cadiz since I was a child and that area was quite run down then. Does anyone know what its like these days? My family are staying in the spa hotel but its a bit pricey for me. Advice much appreciated.

Went to Paleochora two years ago and noticed a campsite just off the beach. Im looking to go back this year and camp but cant seem to find any info on it on the web? Does anyone know how to book this campsite? Address? Or any info at all??? Thanks!

We are with 6 (2 adults, 4 kids) and searching for an appartment in or nearby Otocec in Slovenia. Can someone help us? please send an email to jwvandam@olcon.nl. From monday the 7th of july till tuesday the 15th of July.

I'm interested in a 7-10 day backpacking trip in Sweden, Norway or Finland in June. (I'd also consider a canoeing or kayaking trip of the same time length.)

In France and Spain, there are GR routes, or Grand Randonnee, where you can literally hike for weeks on designated routes over the alps or pyrennees. the GR20 in Corsica is pretty famous: http://corsica.forhikers.com/gr20 ....

Soooo...I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything like this in Scandinavia? or
extended canoe trips etc.

Any help/thoughts/experiences welcome

Thanks much.

We are looking to spend a week to 10 days in France as part of a 2 month holiday in Europe. We want to spend 2 days in Paris, and possibly time in the Loire visting the chateau. We were thinking to maybe take in provence/ Avignon. We are not really interested in swimming as we have access to beaches at home - we want to experience the culture and sightsee. Could anyone please help regarding where our time may be best spent. We were probably not going to visit Nice/Monaco thinking it would be too expensive. Is this the case? We also had thoughts of visiting Mont Saint Michel but this seems a bit of a diversion to our itinerary. Your thoughts would be appreciated as we don't really have a comprehension of the distances between these places. Thanks.

I was wanting to know how I can get to the Catacombs of San Sebastiano or of Domitilla with a rather large group of students. We do not have a coach/touring car so it would have to be via public transport.

Does anyone know if there is a good bus or train connection with either of these 'venues' ?

Thanks

Hello!

Posting it up again under Eupore Forum.

I would be travelling to Prague with my cousin in this coming month of June and then would be heading off to Vienna. Would appreciate if anyone could give assistance to the query for transportation from Prague to Vienna.

Am planning to take the train and have been searching info on that to buy online tickets. So far, I have found two -

1. The Czech Railway - However, I can't find the right link to the Czech Railway in English version to buy tickets online and heard that there is no price stated there. Can anyone out there send me the right link to buy online tickets in English version and if it's true that no price is stated, may I know how much is the ticket from Prague to Vienna for 1 person? Is it also better to buy tickets during the arrival in Prague or better to buy online?

2. OBB (Austria's railway)- No price stated as well and need the link in english to nuy tickets online. May I also know how much is the ticket from Prague to Vienna for 1 person?

Thanks much in advance to the kind souls who can give assistance to the above!

Cheers,
Famie

I am planning a trip to London for this summer, does anyone know a cheap (£40-60 per night) hotel with ensuite rooms?I know it is almost impossible, but if you know one please tell me! thank you very much! L

Is there any airline or ship that runs between KALAMATA to Creete?

My boyfriend and I are going to Zadar for 5 days in September but we're having problems finding hotels which are actualy IN Zadar...they all seem to be about 20km away which is a little inconvenient if you don't have a car!

Ideally we'd only like to book somewhere for the first night so we know we definitely have somewhere to stay, and then maybe wing it and try and find something cheaper/on an island after that...is this advisable??

We'd love to go out to Dugi Otok or another island...and we reckoned we'd be able to find accommodation when we got there...is that the case??

hello!
i am planning to travel from bari(in italy) to a greek island and figured i'd need to go via patras and piraeus with a bus.
i already read some other posts but still have some questions remaining:
- where do i buy the ticket for the bus to piraus?
- how much does the bus cost?
- is it ok to buy the bus ticket upon arrival only? we would like to go to piraeus right after the ferry arrived in patras
- how long does is take?
thanks so much for your help!!

A potentially silly question, but I have not had to phone anyone in Paris when I have been there.
If this is the following number: +33.(0)6.62.62.93.20, do I just dial 62.62.93.20?
Thanks

Zdravo,

I am seeing on bahn.de and ukrainian site http://uz.gov.ua/index.php?m=services.transppl.ScheduleOra&f=ScheduleOra.Train&T1=22995&lng=uk, that there is a train going from Beograd --> Kyiv --> Moscow. It looks like this is the Avala train IC344 with a switch to 16 in Budapest.

I'm trying to go to Lviv (Lvov in Russian), which is in western Ukraine, and a listed stop.

Can anyone tell me if:
- the train does indeed leave Beograd at 06:45
- I can buy the ticket all the way to Lviv
- I can buy a troundtrip ticket
- I can get the ISIC discount, and how much
- what exactly is the routine. Do we get to Budapest and get off the train, sit around for a few hours, even though it's listed as a direct train
- if I'm coming in on Eurovision weekend, will I have issues to get a ticket

Finally, I'd be coming in from Skopje. I know the trains are limited, as they cut that mid-day train. Anyone who can tell me a realistic time for the bus to reach Beograd would be much appreciated, as I'd have to catch that train.

Hvala puno!

I will be coming to antwerp in the 3rd week of May, since its my first trip to belgium I have a few questions on how to get in and out of belgium

Arriving by Eurostar in Paris from St. Pancreas. Where and which train in Paris to Paris Disneyland?

Hi!

I would like to go from dresden to zurich. Apparently there is a city nightline train that connects the two cities. How is it to travel? and what is the cost like if one is NOT a EURAIL pass holder?

Thanks a tonne!

We are going to Paris for 5 days in June. We have three days which we need zone 1-5 and two day that we need zone 1-3. Question: If I need to get from one side of Paris to the other (staying in zone 1) I would use one ticket each way (as long as I transferred within 1 1/2 hours), right?

If I needed to go from zone 1 to Versailles (zone 5) would I use five tickets (one for each zone) or how does that work if I purchase a carnet?

I am trying to go over my itinerary and make sure which will work better.

Hello;
I will be vacationing in Praiano this coming September and I would like to visit friends in Cava dei Tirreni. I know there is a bus that goes along the coast to Salerno, but is there a train from Salerno to Cava? My friends live in the old part of cava. I would appreciate any travel tips. Thank you

Our cruise ship docks in Villefranche on May 27th. We would like to visit Nice, Eze, and St. Paul de Vence. What is thr best method for this? It appears that Nice is close to Villefranche, and Eze is 8kmk from Nice. Is this correct? Should we take the train to St. Paul de Vence, then return to Nice and have a taxi take us to Eze? Or hire a driver?

How much is the audio tour in Alhambra???

Since we're only staying one day in London, any suggestion about tours? Thanks.

Hello,
I am a first time visitor to Greece and I was wondering what is the best area to stay in while I am in Athens? Somewhere close to the sights would be great. Also, how far is it to get a ferry from Athens to Mikanos/santorini? Which one is closer to Athens? Does anyone recommend another island I could do a day trip to?
Thanks!

I am planning on a trip to Ukraine sometime within the next year or so. I definately want to tour Chernobyl and any other Cold War era sites i can find. I know there are a few different Soviet bunkers, command centers, and a submarine pen. Can anyone give me some tips of when would be a good time to visit and some good military / Soviet structures to tour? I am very interested in Military history (mostly WW2 - Present). Thanks
