paul_delahaye Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Maybe unrelated and no idea what this has to do with the Technic forum, but I had a wicked city break in New York before Christmas. And there is a Lego shop there. I also did Sydney, Australia in January, that was also very cool, Quote
D3K Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Do what I did: buy (or build ) a boat, and go wherever you want! Quote

Hrafn Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Most of the travel I've done in Europe has been in Western Europe, which unfortunately tends to be expensive. Also, other than a few places that I've gone in the last few years (Vicenza, Rome, Sicily, Spain, London) most of the travel was 14 years ago so it may well be out of date. That said: Rome is just amazing, definitely my favorite city in Europe. See the Forum and the Coliseum. They're famous for good reason. And then wander the back streets, get a square of the local pizza, have an espresso, and watch the scooters zoom by. Venice is otherworldly, with its canals and slowly sinking buildings. It's very touristy, though, and very expensive. Barcelona is fun, and Gaudi's architecture (including the Sagrada Familia, but not limited to that) is amazing in person in a way that photographs of it can't convey. Stay away from the central section of town at night, though - as of 2007 there was lots of shady stuff going on there. Budapest is beautiful; I'm not sure how it is to navigate if you don't speak Hungarian, though. When I was there I was with Hungarian-speaking family. Prague has an amazing mix of beautiful architecture in the center of town. London, frankly, just feels like another big city to me. That said, the British Museum is incredible if you're at all interested in ancient art. Paris is also huge but I found it much more charming. Go to Montmartre, but watch out for pickpockets. Eat lots of croissants. In 2000, Berlin was very exciting and had a lot of interesting art stuff going on; I gather it's gotten a bit more sedate but is still a fun city. For an antidote to big cities, go to Bacharach on the Rhine in Germany. There is (or was, anyway, in 2000) a hostel there that's in an old fortress. And you can't exactly get there by rail, but I had an amazing time everywhere I went in Iceland. Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I've always wanted to go to Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland; but unfortunately, I've had no first-hand experience traveling within Europe. If you do make a trip, please post up a trip report. I'd like to someday take a couple months to travel around Europe, and I'd like to see what you did. It sounds like you are going to stay within Europe, but if you decide to go a bit further and visit the U.S., I can give you some suggestions, particularly in the western part of the U.S. I just wrapped up a year and a half long trip driving around the U.S., and I spent 6 months straight camping out. There are a lot of neat things to see here. Keep us posted. It'll be neat to see where you end up going. Quote
Doc_Brown Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 LOL, When I read "trip Ideas" I thought you were going to discuss ideas for building a trip meter.....measuring distance. haha Australia is very hot, especially up north right now, south is apparently very nice. The new MAD MAX I believe is being filmed somewhere too, that would be cool to see. Quote
Lipko Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Are you a tourist type or a Globe Tracker type? If the latter, visit Scandinavia. I lived in Finland for a year. And it's just awesome. Both in the winter and in the summer. Lapland? Transsiberian Express? For a bottle of Vodka, you can do the train-guard woman. Quote

MrNumbskull13 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Belgium? I've been there, I'll need to check what city I went to but it was beautiful! Edited February 28, 2014 by MrNumbskull13 Quote
skppo Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If the latter, visit Scandinavia. I lived in Finland for a year. And it's just awesome. Both in the winter and in the summer. Lapland? Finland is nice in the winter and summer but the in between is horrible. No snow nor sun just dark, chilly and wet. Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks for the suggestion guys! Keep them coming :) I'm gonna travel via InterRail, so I'm gonna use the train :) Here is what i have so far...Poland would also be nice to visit.. https://maps.google....&mra=ls&t=m&z=6 Quote
Fissl Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I highly recommend the netherlands to you.Very friendly people, nice coast lines,beautiful landscapes and amazing cities espacially Amsterdam! In my eyes it's the most beautiful city in the World! Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, NL is deffinatelly in, I think I will make a round trip through Poland too, something like that: http://goo.gl/maps/yfD8i Quote
L@go Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 If you do make your way up to Scandinavia, I'd heartily recommend the train trip from Oslo to Bergen. It takes you through some of the most breathtaking scenery Norway has to offer, especially for the last two hours (so just make sure you travel in daylight). And I live in Bergen, which happens to be among the most beautiful cities in Norway, mainly because it has a lot of history - so I could show you around :) Quote

Fissl Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The map looks nice! How long do you want to travel around? Quote
Zerobricks Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 I was thinking of using the 10 day flexi train card. Seems the trip is turning more into meeting fellow builders AND I LIKE THAT :) Now I wonder if anyone from Poland can show me around... Sariel? Quote
