We are ending our Spain tour in Madrid. We would like to spend a couple more days in Zaragoza (1 day) and Barcelona (4 days). If we buy an AVE ticket from Madrid to Barcelona, will it allow us to get off in Zaragoza and get back on the AVE train the following day for Barcelona using the same ticket? Or should we buy 2 separate tickets, one for each segment of the route - Madrid to Zaragoza and Zaragoza to Barcelona? Your input is greatly appreciated.

Hi
I am going to have a free day in Florence. I started to look for things to see and do, but the amount of possible activities here on VT is just overwhelming. I would appreciate a little help from you building my itinerary.
Using Google I found a one day trip that looks promising: http://www.tripomatic.com/trip/Florence-Rome/
I think this captures the main sights well. But it is still very focused on history. I'm sure there's more to Florence apart from the rich history. I'm looking for a little bit of excitement, maybe a good restaurant or bar? And what about shopping opportunities? I read there are a plenty, but rather expensive. Would you recommend something where I wouldn't spend a fortune?
Thanks

Hi, I need to get from Parga to Saranda next September, or vice versa, but I haven't found any bus timetables nor information. Is there any buses going or how it would be easiest? Or do we have to take ferry from Saranda to Corfu and from Corfu to Igoumenitsa and bus from there? I read that ferries from Parga to Corfu are not going that often, is that right? Sounds a bit difficult. Thank you in advance for any kind of tips!

I am going to be giving a presentation on Carcassonne to my speech classmates on March 19. I visited Carcassonne myself but was unable to take any pictures. I believe your website has numerous well taken photos and would like permission to use them as visual aids for my speech. Do you have any more pictures of Carcassonne?
Thank you for your time and help,
Theresa

I will be staying near Locorotondo, but I want to visit Trani, and I would appreciate any advice on driving into the city and parking safely. I am working out details of my trip, but I may want to stay overnight, and if so I would like the car to be safe. Are there garages? Reading about hotels is discouraging about the parking situation. I will have no luggage, so where I park the car is not so important. Close to the old town and Duomo would be nice, obviously, but I am open to any suggestions if I can find a safe space with relatively easy access. Thanks!

Hello all
I can't find anything on the internet to tell me if there's a train that runs from Podgorica to Shkodra?
If there is no train, then what's the best way to get to Shkodra?
Thank you!

| Andalucía |
Posted: Tue February 14, 2012 05:54 PM UTC
We will be spending ten days in Andalucia in late March and are trying to get an idea of how to spend our time. One of us will be 7 months pregnant so we don't want to be anywhere too remote and are more interested in relaxing in a small number of places than a jam-packed itinerary.
We're flying in and out of Malaga and at the moment we're thinking of doing a circuit from Malaga to Granada to the Sierra Nevada to the coast and back to Malaga. We're hoping for some suggestions about beautiful places to stop off, villages/towns to stay in along the way, and especially for advice about nice places to stay along the coast east of Malaga. Also any suggestions about good guest houses/hotels around the €30-€40/night mark.
Thanks!

Hi. We arrive at Marco Polo airport at 1330. How do we go from Venice to Rovinj, by bus or train ? Is it possible this day? I know that there is a bus from Mestre at 14:00, but that will be a little difficult. Is there a train that correspond with bus in Trieste?

Good day everyone,
I searched through the forum looking for information on the Uvac River (the famous meandering formation). I'm planning on visiting Serbia in May this year and would like to see this. How would I get there? Is there a specific entry point? Can I visit from Belgrade or Nis? I don't have much time in the country unfortunately. I thought about driving myself but I'm unfamiliar with the area (and I'm horrible with directions). Any information would be helpful. Thank you!

Hi everyone!
My mate and I are flying into Zurich on the 6 of March. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some things to do in Zurich and around Switzerland and perhaps even some cheap accommodation?
We're into adventure sports (such as bungee jumping, snow boarding etc), sight seeing, we're also keen to see the alps but have no idea on where to start with that, so any advice about that would be much appreciated.
We were thinking we would take the train to Interlaken at some point as it seems cheaper to stay there, then do adventure things like canyoning and bungee jumping etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read my msg!

Hi,
I'll have several days in Tromso and one of the things I love to do is just take local buses to nearby villages to explore sights off the usual tourist trail.
I've found four routes and may only be able to do two of them. Which two might be more scenic? Susannejord, Kvaloyvag, Bellvik, or Grunnfjordbotn?
Thanks very much.
Cathy

Hi, I need your help for one of my close friends who will be in Rome to celebrate his 30th anniversary with his wife next week. They will stay for 3 nights and they need your recommendations for 3 elegant, romantic restaurants they will attend on three nights in Rome. The restaurants could be expensive, the only matter is romance, the elegance and the food.
Thank you in advance

Four of us are arriving at Marseille and driving to the Cortona Italy area (farmhouse). I would like to find a nice coastal village/town to stay in on the way from France. We will most likely stay in Lucca and visit Pisa on the way after coming in from the coast. Any suggestions on places and hotels or B&Bs?

On our last night in Italy, I'm thinking of splurging on a superior room at the Hotel Fontana Rome, directly across from the Trevi Fountain. My mind is set on this hotel to catch a different perspective of the fountain with my camera (from above & also at night. I've already got an amazing photo of it without any tourists in it that I took at 6am in 2007). However, I need to make sure this hotel (and the fountain) is not undergoing renovations. We're staying in April 2012--has anyone been around that area recently to confirm if all is well there? Also, I heard that sometimes they drain the fountain--how often does that happen?? I emailed the hotel some time ago, but got no response. Thanks!

Can anyone help suggest the correct travel card to purchase - very confused. Will be in Paris for a week, 1 trip from CDG airport to Gare Du Nord on arrival
then several days exploring Paris central using metro system, and 3 day trips out of city. Not interested in visiting lots of museums, just the major ones (2 0r 3).
Checked out Paris Visite card, don't think it will work for us and others have mentioned buying '10 or 24 tickets' on arrival, can anyone explain what they are and how they are used.
Thanks

Something interesting to visit in the city centre?
