14 Days Amsterdam, Belgium, Germany, Salzburg
Hi, there are 2 of us in our late 50's who are planning on a 14 full days trip to the above places in mid October. We will not be driving any leg of the journey (intending to take trains), and will be flying in & out of Amsterdam. We are interested in a mix of cities/towns/sites.
We are concerned that this itinerary might be too much for us and spending all our time packing/unpacking and on/off trains rather than enjoying ourselves.
Will appreciate comments on how we can better arrange this trip, anything else we should not miss (given our itinerary), and especially the logistics - i.e. whether it's worth getting any rail passes, which train tickets should we buy in advance etc.
Day 1: (From LAX) Arrive Amsterdam 5:30 pm (dinner relax)
Day 2: Sightsee Amsterdam (Anne Frank House, "nine little streets", floating flower market, canal cruise)
