Europe Vacation

You will need to decide what cities/countries you wish to visit. Then the great people on this hotline can help you organize your intinerary.
The question is way to broad. Happy Travels!!

I'd suggest reading Rick Steves' "Europe through the Back Door" to learn about travel modes. And you should also do some research to see what you'd like to visit. But since you asked for advice: Stay in Brussels for 2 nights to get over jet lag and see some of the city Take the train to Amsterdam and stay there for 4 days Take the train to Paris and stay there for 4-6 days Fly to Rome and stay there for 4-6 days Fly home from Rome This itinerary would give you a taste of a few different cultures in Europe.

All of the Rick Steves guidebooks have a section for planning your itinerary depending on the amount of time you have. I happen to have Best of Europe 2012 right here on my desk! He says "...here are my recommended priorities. These itineraries are fast-paced, but doable by car or train, and each allows about 2 nights in each spot. Most work best if you fly 'open jaw'". For 5 days: Paris, Swiss Alps 7 days, add: London 10 days, add: Rome 14 days, add: Rhine, Amsterdam, Haarlem 18 days, add: Venice, Florence. Obviously you can make adjustments for your own interests and pace. Since you are arriving in Brussels, I would take 2 days there, then add Paris, Swiss Alps, London, Rome, and then I would add Austria (Salzburg, Vienna, Hallstatt) because it is so beautiful.
Planning is half the fun. Enjoy.

Ummm... look at the location of the poster, people. Rick Steves' books may not be available there.

I think amazon.com delivers worldwide.

Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs. Shall incorporate all in my planning. Do keep sharing...best wishes
