Topic: Where to take someone for their first visit to Europe (starting or ending in Brussels)
Anonymous A started this discussion 11 years ago#39,465
Taking a friend of mine to Europe in a few months and trying to decide where to go. I have friends we can stay with in Brussels so we need to either start or finish there for a few days to visit them.
We'll have 10 days between landing and departing. My current thought is :
1) Fly into Brussels, meet friends, stay at their place for three nights and wander around the city, maybe take one day to go west to Ghent (open for other ideas) or a train down to Paris.
2) Do something for another 2 days. Originally the plan was to fly to Geneva to visit CERN but it sounds like all the cool stuff is off limits now that it's in operation : / Now I need something else to do here
3) On the fifth day, leave Brussels for Amsterdam - probably via train but they may go with us and take their car. Stay in Amsterdam ~3 days with a possible trip to the Hague or Rotterdam.
4) On the seventh or eighth day, take the train to Köln (maybe to Düsseldorf on the way).
5) On the next to last day, take the train to Frankfurt and fly out of FRA the next day.
That's the current rough plan based on keeping travel times fairly short. Any other suggestions on places we should go in that general area? Don't want to spend more than 3 or 4 hours on a train at a time but regional flights are also an option if we can afford them (prices don't look too bad, probably need to stay below €250/flight if taking more than one).

Paying the plane ticket for 10 days only? And wasting 3 days in Brussels, oh my.
Maybe Brusseles -> Amsterdam -> Berlin -> Prague -> Frankfurt... I'd do something like that...
Actually I'd do Brusseles -> Copenhagen -> and then kick back with friends in Halmstad in the south of Sweden... really lovely town... Copenhagen is also great. I might tip you in that direction by showing you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freetown_Christiania
Seriously, words and pictures can not describe how crazy amazing that district is, I've never seen something comparable in my life.

Is this a "netscape" sort of person, i.e. a typical USAmerican who thinks that "getting stoned" is "awesome" and "seeing a bunch of old stuff" and "listening to that non-English crap" is "stupid", or is it a cultured person with an interest in the world?

ill never go to mainland china because its shitty
both literally and figuratively, to be honest
i couldn't give a fuck about china, at all.
but i would think that if you were cultured at all
you would have at least lived in other parts
sad to say that you made a shitty bed and
now you must sleep in it, no choice

I guess they don't teach it in schools there. In Ireland they teach Irish and Wales (I heard) they teach Welsh.

You have never set foot in a country, yet you pontificate about it like the world's foremost expert. You remind me of someone else.
