Hi everyone,
Last Summer I did a 3.5 week backpacking trip through mostly Western Europe and visited the following cities: London, Amsterdam, Bruges, Paris, Interlaken, Zurich, Munich, Barcelona, Ibiza, and Iceland.
I am now planning a 30-35 day backpacking trip (about 4-5 weeks) through Central/Eastern Europe. I was hoping to get some advice and recommendations on cities to visit and more importantly the route I should take.
The following cities are my "must" visits in Europe:
Berlin
Prague
Vienna
Budapest
Barcelona
Madrid
The plan is to dedicate the last 8-10 days of the trip in Spain. The reason for this being that I have a very good friend who works in Barcelona now so the plan is to visit him there, go to Madrid which I missed last time, and one other city in Spain that I would like to get a recommendation on.
It doesn't matter where I fly into (I'll be flying out of either PHL or Newark NJ though if that matters) but I plan on ending my trip and flying out of somewhere in Spain to get back home.
I figure including my stop in Spain and the cities I mentioned I could probably fit in at least another 3 cities. So I am looking for recommendations on which cities those should be, where I should fly into, and what my route should maybe look like.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Marty
