Itinerary Feedback - Europe 24 days

You have planned a fantastic overview trip! I like how you made some of your days very full and then left others a little more leisurely...you'll be very glad you did that.
One comment would be about your second day in Munich. Personally I would choose the Alte Pinakothek over the Residenz Munchen. You are going to other palaces in Europe. The AP, though, is probably the best collection in Europe from an art history point of view. If you are at all interested in the art of the western world then the Alte Pinakothek is not to be missed. It has some of the greatest pivotal pieces of great works of art in existence and a very comprehensive collection of some of the best pieces by many artists. Many museums in Europe have amazing collections as well but this one is special because of the significance of the individual pieces.
In Prague you have only scheduled 3 hours in Prague Castle...the complex is quite large and if you are going on a 2-day ticket you need to schedule at least 1/2 of another day to see the rest somewhere during your visit there.

Thats a very detailed itinerary. Since i live in Copenhagen, i'll focus on that part of your itinerary.
On day 2, note that Amalienborg is located between Nyhavn and the little mermaid, so you will walk rigth pass it on your way to Christiansborg (note the spelling).
Day 3. Are you aware that Frederiksborg (again spelling) is not in Copenhagen, but in Hillerød, which is 40 minutes north of Copenhagen by train?
There are guided tour of Christiania on saturdays and sundays at 15.00, which i can recommend http://www.rundvisergruppen.dk/portenENG.htm

Regarding the Copenhagen Card, you should check their website and compare the admission prices if the places you wish to see to the cost of the card to see if it's worth it, since it's a tad pricey.
The ways to keep costs down are the same as anywhere, self catering supermarkets instead of eating out, walk instead of using public transport (Copenhagen is very walkable). Cheaper places to eat and drink are found outside of the city centre, the Nørrebro and Vesterbro neighborhoods have many cheaper restaurants, usually asian or middle eastern places.

Hello David. Copenhagen Day 2 - You will have time for going to 2 places : ride in a boat for sightseeing, starting at the canal that is in back of Christiansborg palace, get off at Nyhavn. And go to Rosenborg palace. Eat at Riz Raz vegetarian buffet at Kompagnistraede 20. The price there is higher in the evenings. But other restaurants and cafe's in Copenhagen are more expensive.

Your trip sounds great!
Prague, in itself, is cheap to eat and drink. Also, if you need a taxi, it is very cheap.

I enjoyed Kutna Hora. There is a great restaurant there, not far from the church. Daciky Pivnice. http://www.dacicky.com/?lang=en

Amsterdam is Amsterdam..probably all the wild stories you may have heard, are true. It is fun :)

When in Munich, don't forget the Viktualienmarkt, 5 minutes from Marienplatz. There you will find the beergarden, typical Bavarian food, lots of beer, and more beer, and very friendly people, many dressed in typical German outfits (lederhosen).

Have fun!

David, this sounds like an amazing trip. My first three trips to Europe were on tours; I wouldn't have had the guts to go solo without a few previous trips under my belt. I've now traveled three separate times to Europe completely on my own, and I love it. I'm sure you will too.

My advice to you is not to try to stick so closely to a schedule of daily activities. Part of the fun of traveling solo is that you don't have to try to please anyone else. Each evening, over dinner maybe, you can map out the next day's plan. That way, if you feel you've had enough of art museums or history museums or castles or anything else, you can adjust as you go. Also, try to meet locals, and get their advice on places they like to go. (For instance, when I was riding the train to Stockholm, I got into a long conversation with a woman, and when I told her some of my interests, she recommended I go to the island of Fjaderholmarna. It turned out to be a very enjoyable -- and easy -- excursion.)

Once you get your bearings in a new city, you'll discover that some activities mesh together well. For instance, in Stockholm, the ferry to Drottningholm departs from right next to City Hall, so it would make sense to do both of those on the same day. And the Vasa Museum, Skansen, and the Nordic Museum are all close by each other on Djurgarden, so you might want to do those on the same day as well (and maybe combine them with a bike rental around Djurgarden, which is a real treat if the weather cooperates).

You've done some great research in finding the things that interest you. Now allow yourself to be spontaneous! And have a great time!
