General Discussion / Fussen to Basel via Lake Constance: Itinerary help

« on: April 24, 2011, 05:06:38 am »

Hi,

My hubby and I will be visiting Munich and Fussen soon; we have planned the rough itinerary and booked the hotel. We will be arriving at Munich West via Ryanair on around 2.30pm on 6 May.

 

May 6: get around Munich on arrival. Stay 1 night at Munich.

May 7: get around Munich. leaving to Fussen at late evening and overnight at Fussen.

May 8 : get around Fussen.

May 9: Morning train from Fussen to Basel via Lake Constance. Sight seeing of Lake Constance. Planned to arrive Basel by 11pm.

 

We need advice or suggestion on itinerary on May 9 which is the journey from Fussen to Basel. We have no idea where to stop by for sight seeing and the detailed itinerary. What is the cheapest way to travel on this route?

The advice on Munich and Fussen is also welcome.

 

Thanks.

Train fares and tariffs / Need advice on Europe train ticket

« on: March 19, 2011, 06:23:11 pm »

Hi,
I will be travelling to Europe for 1 month during May. I will be firstly arriving at London on 4 May.

My itinerary would be:
London -> Paris -> Bruges -> Rotterdam -> Kinderdijk->Amsterdam-> Cologne -> Heidelberg -> Black Forest -> Baden- Baden -> Lake Constance -> Munich -> Bavaria (Fussen)->Basel -> Zurich -> Lucerne -> Berne -> Geneva -> Lake Geneva -> Montruex -> Jungfrau -> Lauterbrunnen -> Interlaken -> Zermatt -> Milan -> Verona -> Venice -> Florence -> Pisa -> Rome -> Naples -> Capri -> Rome
 
I need your advice on how to get cheap train ticket for the above route. If the train ticket is too expensive for certain journey, I might consider night bus/coach which would help to save money on accommodation.
As this is my first time travelling to Europe, I am not familiar with the places especially the transportation system. Some travel website mentioned about "seat reservation" and "validate ticket before boarding", can you help to explain on this? Does all train/coach need ticket validation and seat reservation?

Btw, any comments on the route planning above is much welcome and appreciated.
Thanks.
p/s: I will be flying back to London from Rome via Ryanair.
