Looking for a possible itinerary for Sept/Oct
08-23-2011, 02:21 PM
Hey guys, looking for a bit of advice. I'm about 50/50 right now on taking a trip somewhere in Europe in early fall before it gets too cold. Countries I've already been to in Europe: England, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands. So I want to see somewhere new. Money has been kinda tight this year so I'm not looking to spend a lot of time in a very expensive country. I'd be flying for free using an American Airlines reward so I have to go someplace AA flies or at least where I can fly on one of their partner airlines. I want to go to a place that's "brotha friendly" if you know what I mean. And somewhere that it won't be too cold already in early autumn. Ideally, about 3 weeks or maybe a month tops. I'd like to hit a couple different places(or would it be better to stay put in one?), but I don't want to move around so much that it makes it hard to get into the local scene and pull girls. No hostels. I'd be looking at renting on airbnb.com. So reasonably priced accommodations is also important.
Suggestions?

Latvia?
I was there a year ago in Sept. Pack the butter soft leather though.
Make sure you check my sheets for "what I would have done different".
" I'd like to hit a couple different places(or would it be better to stay put in one?)"
Stay in one.
Stay in one.
Stay in one.
This has been my advice since I was a young pup, and I always regret it when I break it.

Thanks for the info fellas! Narrowing down where you want to go is tough. If I had an ideal trip with unlimited time and bankroll, I'd fly to Iceland(always wanted to go there), then Stockholm, then to Copenhagen for a few days(got some friends there I'd like to visit), then make my way south through Germany, Vienna(amazing looking city), cross over to the Prague, then Budapest, then S. Italy, Greece and finish out in Croatia. But I'll have to save my perfect European itinerary for another time!
I'm considering pairing Germany and Croatia. I really would love to hit at least one Scandinavian country though. But 3 countries may be too much within several weeks since I'll need some time to feel out the local scene.

If you are on a limited budget Scandi will DRAIN it...Your best bet is to limit it to no more than two countries as your base of operations to save time, money & get max exposure to getting the most out of each city. Over the last few trips I've been on I've realized how much more I would enjoy myself if I just chilled in one spot for longer...that's how I'm doing my trips for now on if I have the time. Germany and Croatia would be a good mix of countries to check out...Try to stick with the secondary cities & college towns in Germany for the real thing (less immigrants, cheaper, where you will be more exotic). Good Luck!
