Have an opportunity to sing in a chorale in Vienna Oct. 24, 25. Both days are pretty full with group breakfast, rehearsal and performance. With their plan, arrive Oct. 23 and depart Oct. 26. This is our second visit to Vienna. Would like to stay one, two or three more days to see more than the first time.
On our first trip to Europe, we spent 3 nights in Vienna; 1 in Villach; then went on to Berchtesgaden, Germany; Venice, Montepulciano, Tuscany, Florence, Rome, Orvieto, Lucca, Moncalieri, Italy; then St. Martin de la Cloze, Beaune and Paris, France for a total of 29 days. We have since spent about a month in France. on another trip, as well as time in England and Ireland.
Am thinking of spending time on this trip in earlier October, and am considering Saltzburg, Belgium, Luxembourg, other parts of Germany, Prague, lower Italy, possibly Sardinia. I think husband will be good with only about 3 to 3.5 weeks there, unless I can squeeze four.
Our first trip was with a private tour guide the whole time. (whew) On other trips, we have done some driving ourselves or booked private drivers to the cities and private tour guides.
I need suggestions as to where is best to go with these ideas, what countries and cities are practical to get to; how to travel---should we do some of our own driving or get a guide? We do not speak any of the languages. I think trains would be a little hard for me as I have arthritis and am concerned about carrying luggage.
Help is needed.
