Some lucky people on here.
Unfortunately don't have the $$ to do a big trip at the moment but always dreaming and planning.
Appreciate what you get to do people
Would LOVE to visit Riga, Latvia as that is where my dad was born. Heard it's really nice and online looks good.
Any ideas of a good itenary for travelling through the Baltic areas as well as seeing a couple of the 'big name' European places on the way (Eng, Ger, Fra)

Christmas markets in Berlin and Hamburg would be lovely around that time (and everywhere really)
I really likes Coppenhagen and Aarhus in the winter
If you are going after the 20th, most bars and restaurants and attractions will remain closed as people go home for holidays. Christmas markets are an absolute must IMO
Berghain stays open over Christmas
Finish crepe, rejoin queue. Repeat.
My wife did the Christmas markets in Köln and loved it.
Get to Budapest if you can. One of my favourite cities.
Me too and i feel dirty now Drakey
Didn't snow when I was there in 2019.
Prague, Ceský Krumlov, Salzberg and Berlin for New Years eve.
What's in Cesky Krumlov? Heard a few people mention it
Daytrip from Prague, close to the Austrian border, absolutely stunning. Never spent a night there but i plan to next month.
P.S Opps my bad, i read 'where'.
Nevermind. But the castles and the churches are stunning. The town itself is wonderful, for me it's an absolutely must do. I have been to Brno more than i have been to Prague though. Prague is great but is overrun by tourists, too much for my liking.

Picturesque and great to walk around.
Worth staying a night or 2 around Christmas time.
If you want some recommendations for Poland DM me the cities you'll be in. I lived there for 3 years.

Romania is really beautiful and as cheap as chips if you're on a budget.
Completely agree, as long as you are not in Bucharest! one of the most underrated countries in Europe along with Bulgaria and Montenegro
I did one down to Antarctica just prior to covid. For a keepsake purchase a nautical map of the area you're travelling and ask the captain/first mate to plot the course of your trip as they go. They'll happily do it and all sign it for you as well, makes for a cool souvenir.
Also there's plenty of packing lists around for Artic/Antarctic cruises however the two non negotiables are polarised sunglasses and waterproof pants for any land based expeditions.

Vienna is the only European city I've been where three days was too many. Genuinely felt like I ran out of interesting s**t to do.
Looked like an excellent place to live though.
Cities where the Cathedral is the main attraction are usually worth just the 3 days.
Nothing wrong with Vienna, I just remember the city being white or grey with no real colour or personality about it.
Anyone got experience with a good value EU eSim, preferably with unlimited data?
Agree with the assessment of Vienna, but they do have really good Christmas market.
