Paris-Belgium-Milan-Genoa-Cinque Terre-Florence

jamiemarie33

We are going to Paris-Belgium (Brussels maybe?)-Milan-Genoa (maybe one day for the aquarium)-Cinque Terre and Florence for our 2 week honeymoon.  For anyone who has been to any of these cities, could you suggest one thing (or more) that you absoultely wouldn't miss- whether it's a hotel, restaurant, museum, adventure, etc. 

Thanks!

In Belgium, skip Brussels and go to Bruges instead.  It's a really charming little town with lots of chocolate shops, beer, and waffles .  We enjoyed taking a boat tour on the canals, and I love history so I also enjoyed visiting the old hospital and pharmacy.  There's also a church there with a sculpture by Michelangelo as well as some neat museums with old tapestries and things like that.  There are supposed to be some windmills on the outside of town, and you can rent bikes too.  Most people who go to Bruges love it.

Can I ask why you chose Milan and Genoa?  Milan is the financial services center of Italy so it's not the most interesting city to visit (yes, there's good shopping there as well as The Last Supper painting which you need reservations for but that's about it).  Lake Como isn't that far from Milan so I'd highly recommend going there instead.  I'd also recommend a town called Stresa on Lake Maggiore.  It's absolutely beautiful!!!

In Florence, walk up (don't drive, walk the stairs if possible) to Piazzale Michelangelo to watch the sun set over the city.  If you're into art at all, I highly recommend Santo Spirito, Orsanmichele, and the Bargello. 

In Cinque Terre, there's a really beautiful beach, I forget what it's called, but you hike down to it, and then you have to go through a tunnel through the cliff face to get to it.  If I can remember more about it, I'll re-post and let you know.  Also, I highly recommend hiking between the towns.  It's a long walk, but completely worth it.  And you can always end the hike at a beach.  Also, while you're there, make sure you order pesto somewhere.  It's the regional specialty, and the best pesto in the world!

It's been so long since I've been to Paris that I can't remember many details.  I do recommend that you spend a day in Versailles, though, and while there, go out to the Hameau de la Reine, which is a "village" Marie Antoinette had built as an escape from the "pressures" of court life.  It's really pretty.

Sorry to overload you!  I really love to travel (can you tell?) and Florence happens to be one of my favorite places, with Cinque Terre and Paris not far behind!  Have fun!

jamiemarie33

Thanks for all of the great suggestions!  We are definitely planning on hiking Cinque Terre and going to Versailles, but I was looking for something else to do while there.  Also, the sunset over Florence sounds beautiful.

Hmmm, what about replacing Milan with Nice, France, and taking the train from there into Italy...has anyone been to Nice?

KappaUCF20

Honestly, I would replace Milan with Lake Como or Lake Maggiore.  The scenery there is so gorgeous, I can't even describe it.  It would be a shame to miss it.

We were on our honeymoon last month and went to Brussels, Bruges, and Paris. I don't recommend at all skipping Brussels. No it's not a city you would need to spend a week in or more like Paris or London, but there's definitly a lot to see and do and the ambiance is terrific. I know that Rick Steves recommends stopping for a couple of hours but that's really a slight I feel. We spent 2 nights there and there was def. more things we could have seen and done.

I've been to a ton of countries in Europe and the Grand Place in Brussels is one of the prettiest and most magnificent sights I have ever seen. The beer and chocolate scene is also very cool if that's your thing. It's a city that is yes maybe "low" on stand out sights, but just walking around, stopping for a beer (there's what over 300 types brewed in Belgium) at the many cafes, is part of the fun and experience. I also thought the waffles were better in Brussels than in Bruges-at least there were more options. Something I'd suggest, don't order a waffle in a restaurant. I found the quality to be lacking! The ones you get on the street from a little shop that only cost 1 or 2 euros are MUCH better.

Bruges while I was looking extremely forward to, was somewhat of a letdown. The crowds (at least during the day) overwhelmed the city center area. The streets/sidewalks are very narrow and even walking in the street to get around people was impossible at times. To me, that greatly detracted from the medieval ambiance. Since Brussels is obviously a bigger city, you didn't feel that as much. It's a city def. worth visiting, but be sure to be there when the sun is down, the crowds are away so you can get a more authentic experience.

We also rented bikes while in Bruges and biked to the village of Dame which is about 4? miles away from Bruges. It's a smaller version of Bruges and very close to the Dutch border. As someone mentioned, along the canal path you can also see some of the windmills.

We spent a week in Paris and stayed at the Hotel du Cadran in the 7th arrondisement. It was a nice hotel, good location, near to the metro. We got a good package deal which included the museum pass. I def. recommend getting that as you saved a lot of time waiting in lines-it's good on most attractions including Versailles, bell tower at Notre Dame, the Lourve, Musee d'Orsay. The few things it's not good on are the Eiffel Tower, Catacombs. But overall the museum pass is a good investment. We also did a day at Disneyland Paris which was a lot of fun and a nice break from the touring we had been doing the past week and a half. You can take the suburban rail there and it lets you out right at the gate. Def. spend some time on Il St. Louis, the little island adjacent to Il de la Cite-very romantic feel, less mobs, etc. Berthillion ice cream is also there, a real must. OUr big splurge was a dinner cruise on the Seine. It was a beyond memorable experience. Even if you don't do a dinner cruise, go on a regular cruise to see all the monuments lit up at night.

I was't the biggest fan of Florence (I visited some years ago when I studied in Spain) but I def. second other peoples' suggestions of going to Piazza M. for the views. It was like something out of the movies.

Have fun, they're all gorgeous spots!

Bruges was gorgeous, I'm not disputing that, just the mobs of tourists everywhere greatly detracted from the ambiance that the city is marketed for. I'm sure one's experience/visit greatly depends on the time of year you go as well. We were there in mid-September so the weather was still really nice, especially for Northern Europe hence the large crowds.

jamiemarie33

Kappa- Lake Como looks amazing, however, I'm not sure the logistics of stopping there would work for us.  We only have 2 weeks to visit a lot of places, so I'm trying to keep the places in Italy close together.  Unless Lake Como has airport nearby, I'm not sure we'll have the time.  I will definitely look into it though!

Philly- we will definitely spend at least some time in Brussels, as we need to fly out to Italy (maybe Southern France?).  We might only have the time to visit Bruges for the day.

 I guess travel is very subjective, but I appreciate everyone's help.  Since weve never been to Western Europe, every reply is very helpful!

Snippylynn

6 cities for two weeks?  Good luck.

Thanks for your ?help?  ...Genoa is a day trip, so really it's five cities in two weeks- with travel between each place being about 1.5-2 hrs. 

Paris-5 days
Belgium-2 days
Milan (or replacement)- 2 days
Genoa- daytrip
Cinque Terre- 2 days
Florence- 2 days
Leave on 15th day

And, we're considering spending only 4 days in Paris and adding that last day to a different city.

sassy8179

Hey jamiemarie!

We are also thinking of doing a few cities in Europe in 2 weeks - I wish I had more time to see more, but our schedule is looking like this:

*Paris- 3 days
*Bologna - 2 days (FI wants to do a tour of the Italian car factories, the other day will be for eating )
*Perugia/Gubbio - 2 or 3 days (hope to stay at Borgio Di Carpiano, an agritourismo hotel type of thing)
*Rome - 2 days
*London - 2 days

Good luck with your planning! What time of year will you be going? We're aiming for the first 2 weeks in April (wedding is in Feb, but April is better for vacay).

I'm amazed no one said this to you earlier. Have you traveled this way before? If you have and enjoy it, then great. But I think a lot of people who haven't traveled much want to pack in as much as possible, and for most people that ends up just not being as enjoyable as seeing fewer places and having more time in each place.

Laur0813

my fiance and i were thinking about doing the europe trip also!
we were thinking:

Paris (2 days)
Lucerne (1 day)
Munich (3 days)
Innsbruck (1 day)
Venice (2 days)
Rome (3 Days)

I know thats a lot; and of course so many places in europe take much longer than that to see -- I like to think of it as a 'taste of europe'  Neither my fiance or I had the opportunity to spend months in europe when we were in college, and this will be the best way for us to see which city(ies) we would like to revisit in the future.    I know once we get into the major planning/booking stages we might revise how long we are staying in which city. 

emilyinchile

Herschle, for me more than not seeing much in each city it's the hassle involved. Do you want to spend several hours each day in transit (including getting to/from any train stations, airports, etc), checking in and out of hotels and packing and unpacking? If so, then like I said, that's your style and that's fine. But having done trips like that, it's not my preference in general and certainly wouldn't have been for my honeymoon, so if you've never done it I'd really think long and hard about whether you will enjoy the trip as a whole and not just whether you'll enjoy seeing each city for a day or two.

That's weird because we were in Bruges sometime in late September or October (I can't remember the exact date because we were over there for so long), but we didn't experience huge crowds anywhere we went!  There were very few tourists, and the city was really quiet.  But the season does make a big difference.  I won't go to Europe during the summer for that reason lol.

KappaUCF20

Also, to the OP-

If you have time to stop in Milan, then you have time to go to Lake Como.  The train from Milan to Varenna (the town where most people stay) is only about 1.5 hours.  I kind of agree with the other posters though that you might be cramming too much into your itinerary (especially if you're a first timer).  Don't underestimate how long it takes to travel between each place. 

jamiemarie33

Sassy, we're going the first two weeks in June.

 " I like to think of it as a 'taste of europe'  Neither my fiance or I had the opportunity to spend months in europe when we were in college, and this will be the best way for us to see which city(ies) we would like to revisit in the future.    I know once we get into the major planning/booking stages we might revise how long we are staying in which city." -herschle

This is exactly our motive...we want to try to experience several places so we can decide where to go back in the future.  We are not looking for a relaxing honeymoon.  Honestly, I don't think 5 cities is too much for 14 days (remember Genoa is just a day trip-I may cut it out anyway depeding if we want more time in Cinque Terre), being that they are all easily accessible from each other. 

We discussed cutting out cities and cut out Rome and replaced it with Milan-since we would probably need more than 2 days to visit Rome.  We decided we would rather travel to more places and see fewer things in each place.

I looked up all of the train schedules and flights already, and none is longer than 2 hours.  We would be arriving to each new city in the morning, have two or more full days in that city (Paris gets 4-5, Cinque Terre gets 2 or 3, and another place will get 2-3), and then leave the next morning to the next city.

jeanna85

I would skip Milan/Genoa and spend more time in Cinque Terre and Florence (my 2 fav places in Italy). You will definitely want to spend more time in Florence, everything about it is wonderful. Also, 2 weeks isn't much time for 6 places, you don't want to feel rushed and like you're travelling between places half the time.

jeanna85

Another thing to consider is the fact that travelling in Europe (at least in my experience) does not always go smoothly. I've found that trains are constantly a few hours late or cancelled. While it doesnt happen ALL the time or anything, I think 6 places in 2 weeks could be a huge headache. Have you travelled in Europe before? I've found that if you pack too much in you can lose a lot of time to travelling. Even if you find a place is 2 hours away by plane, you need to take into account getting to the airport, checking in, and then travelling from the arrival airport, checking into the hotel and getting your day started. A 2 hour trip can easily become 4 hours.

I'm going to Europe for my honeymoon with 10 days in Nice and 3 days in Paris. We will be doing a few day trips in Nice (to Monaco and a few small towns) but the key is that we will still be based in the same hotel.

jamiemarie33

While I do appreciate all of the advice, I am really not looking to limit my trip to fewer than the cities I have already selected, although I am going to partly take your advice and likely cut out Milan.  This will leave 4 main destinations (Paris, Bruges/Brussels, Cinque Terre, and Florence, with a day trip to Genoa). 

ewurgler

I second Bruges instead of Brussels--also it will be a nice change of pace after Paris.  Definitely do the tour of the old brewery (I think there is only one), check out the cave-like church where they claim to have a piece of Jesus' cross with his blood, and take a boat ride on the water ways.

In Paris, if you only do one museum, do the Musé D'orsay.  Skip the Lourve.  I think taking the boat tour along the river is a nice and relaxing, and you can jump off whenever you want to check something out.  Also, I highly recommend having dinner one night somewhere on Rue Mouffetard.  It is super cute at night and its in a fun area.

I have been to Nice and absolutely LOVE IT!  It will be nice because it is a beach--something you don't have with the other places.  It has a busy urban center, cute old-town type area, and world class beaches.  Though I haven't been to MIlan, definitely go to Nice.  I took the train to and from and it was just fine.

sister2groom

If you rent a car and roadtrip it, I can see maybe going to that many different places (other than the gas) but that is way too crazy. Also, count on travel costs being a lot more than you expect them to be. Cheap flights sometimes come into airports a good 20 mi out from the real city so you may have a bunch of cab fares.

Seriously, please don't go to that many countries. When I studied abroad some of my friends country-hopped pretty much every weekend, but I the few trips I did take, I spent a bit longer in each city. The thing about spending only one or two days in each city is that you really only have time to do the things you have to do. I spent 10 days in Italy alone (Rome, Florence, Venice) and after a while I started hating museums, I felt obligated to see every Michelangelo out there and it all started to look the same. So my favorite part of the trip was actually the end, when we just decided to blow off the tourist sights and just wander around.

My favorite short trip over there was a three-day weekend in Paris. The Louvre was awe-inspiring, as was Notre Dame, but the most memorable day was when we just wandered around and found some less trafficked back streets and went to a market and bought bread and cheese for an impromptu picnic. Those type of days are also the least expensive ones, because tourist attractions like big museums are $30ish a person and some of the smaller ones may be only $7 but they take all of 30 min.

Snippylynn

Well, I won't give you my Italian advice then.  You don't want it, because you don't want to hear anything other than what you believe.  Have fun then. 

kaesha

If this is the way you like to travel, then by all means, ignore the people who say you have to do it otherwise. Personally, I hate unpacking and repacking and living out of a suitcase, so I'd want to spend longer in each place. But again, that (like most things in life) is just a personal preference. I have lots of friends who are like you and like hitting up one thing after another and they're just as happy travelling the way they travel as I am with my travelling habits.

The only other suggestion I'd have is to think about whether or not you'll realistically be returning to any of these places. And, if that's the case, what you'd most like to do then. I think a lot of couples have great intentions to spend time travelling when other priorities (kids, house, jobs, life) get in the way.

jamiemarie33

ewurgler- thank you for the tips! 

I've altered our itinerary slightly, hopefully this will provide a little less travel and packing/unpacking days:

Paris 5 days (with one of those being a day trip to Bruges, rather than making a whole trip to Belgium)

Train to Nice 3 days

Train to Cinque Terre 2-3 days

Train to Florence 2-3 days

actually, snippy (wow, that name is PERFECT for you!), despite what you believe, I have been taking into account what people are saying, and it's not that I, "don't want to hear anything other than what [I] believe," it's that 1. my question was asking people to post something memorable that shouldn't be missed, although I do appreciate those who advised me constructively, rather than just saying good luck!  2. believe it or not, we want to travel like this!  As Kaesha said, this is a personal preference.  For all I care, you can take your Italian advice that "I don't want" and shove it up your Snippy a**

aside from comments that are totally meaningless -- I think that 95% of the info that has been put out here has been very helpful.  It is pretty clear that the main problem is that there is just too much to do in europe!  i think a lot of couples  realize that they may not have a lot of opportunity to go there - as it was said before; life does get in the way.  and the balance that is found is really based on the couple individually; their personal interests and lifestyle. 

I think its awesome that everyone can be so open about where to go and what to do; and the cautions that go with traveling too far too fast.  I know i have been reconsidering where i am going, and how many places in a certain amount of time.  thanks to those of you ladies that have been so positive, and open about their traveling experiences.  Im sure i will post more questions as it gets closer to booking.
