Hello. We are going to Europe next summer because my husband has a conference in Ceske Budejovice. I know for sure that we’re flying into Prague and we want to fly out of Venice. We definitely want to go to Salzburg and also do some hiking/sightseeing in the Austrian Alps, and end up in Venice. We don’t have the rest nailed down yet. There is so much to choose from!
Here’s what I have so far. Are we trying to do too much and/or travel too far?
• Friday – fly to Prague
• Saturday – arrive in Prague, try to stay awake all day, sleep in Prague
• Sunday – sleep in Prague
• Monday – pick up rental car (because it’s paid for by husband’s work - I know some people will ask why) & travel to Ceske Budejovice (1.5 hr drive)
• Tuesday to Thursday – conference in Ceske Budejovice & sight-seeing in the area
• Friday – Hopefully we can drop off car in Ceske Budejovice and take a train to Salzburg, sleep in Salzburg (about a 3 hr train ride)
• Saturday - sleep in Salzburg
• Sunday – rent a car and go somewhere in the Salzkammergut lake district, maybe Hallstatt, and go back to Salzburg to sleep, or maybe stay one night somewhere in the lake district?
• Monday – sleep somewhere in the Austrian alps, maybe Hall
• Tuesday – sleep at the same place
• Wednesday – we would like to drop off car in Innsbruck, take a train to Italy, and stay one night near Alpe de Siusi
• Thursday – take a train to Venice, sleep in Venice
• Friday – sleep in Venice
• Saturday – sleep in Venice
• Sunday – fly home from Venice
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
