What cities and what will we see? Traveling via EuroRail unlimited. Thanks.I'm planning a trip with the Mrs. to Europe in 2009 for three weeks. Where should we go?
Check up on the countries included into your pass, I know the UK is not one, so no unlimited England for you.
If I read the list right, neither are Czech republic and Poland.

Talk about what is Europe for you, like Paris, Rome, Norway or London.
Take a map and point out the place you really want to see, try to work out a way to connect them.
The Eurail site has a pretty good train planner, enter the towns you want to go and see what it comes up with:
http://www.raileurope.com/us/rail/fares_鈥?/a> (I am not so sure about the prices they offer for single tickets, as there are many different reductions available they do not mention.)
http://www.bahn.de/p/view/international/鈥?/a> (this German rail planner is pretty good, works for most long distance trips all over Europe, does not always have all local trains.)
If you have not bought the pass yet, you might even reconsider, as often single tickets are as cheap or even cheaper than a pass, and if you want to do several long hauls, like Paris-Rome or London-Prague, you will want to get cheap airline tickets for those trips.
If you have European roots, try to include the country of your ancestors in your trip, specially if you remember the stories of the people who used to live there. Europe will have changed, but it the stories will come alive better when you have seen the country.
My sister enjoyed England so much that she went back a 2nd time. As far as she was concerned, she wasted time by going to France. The sites are pretty limited %26amp; the French aren't all that friendly to Americans.
She has also been to Salzburg %26amp; loved it. Also another major city (is it in Austria) there but I don't recall the name.
She loved Italy %26amp; visited many cities there. I think they visited Florence, Rome (of course), Sicily and an island. They spent most of their time in Rome.I'm planning a trip with the Mrs. to Europe in 2009 for three weeks. Where should we go?
Paris and Madrid. Both are very beautiful and friendly cities. Also consider visiting parts of Italy and Greece. Also talk with your wife to see if there are any specific places she wants to visit.
England, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland, Paris, Rome, Venice and Vienna.
