Hello everyone,
I hope this message finds you well. So, to make a short story long:
I am in the early stages of our next trip, just thought I'd bounce this off you guys, see what you think. A little about us, we (my wife and I) aren't museum or tour people, and likely you wont catch us waiting in line for much at all. Thats not to say we wont do any, but we tend to be into culture/foodies and enjoy wandering much more than standing in line. I preface this with that because I find that often the recommendations (for larger cities) especially tend to be much longer than we would choose. For example, last time I asked "how many nights in Berlin" and a lot of people recommended 5-7 days, which really any city to TRULY appreciate and assimilate would take months... or years, or a lifetime. After researching Berlin, we went with 3 nights only, and were actually quite content (thats not to say I wouldn't have stayed for months or even years if I could... I wish!). We did do a bike tour there and it was actually a great experience. So, again, just keep that in mind when you look at this.
Amsterdam: - 3 n
Bruges: 1-2 n (I went w/Bruges b/c I haven't really heard great things about Brussels, and I thought this place "looked" more interesting...thoughts?)
Paris: 3-4 n
Lausanne: 3 n
Luzern: 3 n
Munich: 3 n (It seems a little further than I though to get to Munich from Luzern, but we're really wanting to make Oktoberfest a tradition, I know its not popular w/a lot of people here, but we love it!)
Anyways, I appreciate any insight, thoughts, criticism, tweeks, outright changes you may have. I already did a thread on Switzerland as its a country I know little about and got some really great advice.
Im also thinking about actually starting in Copenhagen then flying to Amsterdam, but I don't know if I cant squeeze it in work wise. Such a cool city though!
