Hi! Welcome to my breakdown of how to plan your unique European vacation. After taking countless trips over the years, I have started to get planning down to an art form. Some important things to note:
- We are a couple not traveling with children.
- We have always been pretty flexible about when and where we travel.
- We are constantly looking for new places to explore.
- We are not hung up on visiting the most famous sites.
You don't have to be the same kind of traveler, but if you can relate and want to plan your own journey instead of what the websites and tour guides tell you, I hope this can help.
Importance of Advance Planning for Specific Sites:
I must note, if going to Italy is a once-in-a-lifetime trip, you should plan way in advance. For example, the chances of seeing the Last Supper in Milan are almost nil if you don't plan ahead. Another example is, you can visit the Alhambra in Granada on short notice, but to see the world-famous royal garden, you need to buy tickets weeks in advance. Therefore, if your heart is set on seeing a specific site, museum or attraction, you should start by checking when you can buy tickets before starting on the tips below.
