[QUOTE="Kevins89notch, post: 16190353, member: 31255"] Ahhh, one of the great debates on travel blogs/sites. Half say plan, plan, and plan some more. Half say go with the flow, figure things out when you get there, etc. I go with the planning route. I did a 2+ month trip to Europe once. I had all the nights planned out before I left. I knew in what city I would be sleeping in, every day. I also had large lists of things for each city. The Pope gives speeches on this day. That famous bakery is only open 4 days a week, some 200 year old restaurant is only open for lunch, etc, ETC. I never had to ask myself, "What now?" I just looked at my cheat sheet or sorts. Now a days it's so easy with youtube to find some expat who has lived in Barcelona the last 16 months and watch a vlog on their top 5 restaurants in their section of town. In regards to a few who have some set cities they are going to already, #1 thing....FREE WALKING TOURS!!! Here's the biggest company: [URL="https://www.neweuropetours.eu/"]SANDEMANs NEW Europe[/URL] They are awesome and in about every major city. They meet up around 10am or so and it's a 3 hour tour of the major sites. As the name suggest, yes, you walk, a lot! Also, it's free...sort of. The guides are all amazing and approved by the company, which makes them pay like 3 euros per person they take out. In a large city like Berlin in summer, you could have 100 folks show up daily. They have enough guides and break it down into groups of maybe 20. The guides know so many facts, dates, stories, etc. Plus the guide is a local, so if you need to ask them where to buy a phone charger you forgot, or their favorite local pizza place, they will easily answer you.
