General Discussion / Re: Russian Visa - Invitation

« on: December 14, 2011, 07:29:47 am »

This depends on the dates on your visa. In most cases the hotel will issue an invitation for the dates that you will be staying at the hotel and then the Consulate will give you a visa for those dates. If that is the case, then by staying an extra day you will be breaking the law and may be banned from coming back to Russia for 10 years. To avoid this problem it is best that you go though a travel agency and get them to help you with your visa. If you are in the United States I would recommend the services of Russian Connections, you can tell them when you want to enter and leave Russia and can stay the extra day in Moscow without any problem.

Travel plans, routes and timetables / Re: 8 days European Trip

« on: December 14, 2011, 07:28:25 am »

I am planning 8 day trip to Europe in July.
We will land in paris and start my trip by spending 3-4 days in Italy and then 3 days in Switzerland. And back to Paris. I dont want to see much in Paris and just see 2-3 things which i could in last day and then flew back.

I know that covering 3 days in Italy or switzerland is very hectic and also missing lots of places. But I cannot spend more then 8 days and also we have to travel both place as I love Switzerland and my wife loves Italy.

I would like some help in deciding the itenerary \places which I should see. In Italy i was thinking of spening 1\2days in Venice. Go to Pisa (to see to leaning tower) and then 1\2 day in Rome (depend upon days spend in Venice.).
Thinking of going to Switzerland by train overnight (To save travel time).

Please recommed the places which I should cover on both country. This will be my first trip so it will be good if you also let us know whether we should buy any train pass or not, or just pay the train we board. In switzerland we for sure like to see mountains by train\cable Train.
