Bonjour,
Berlin est plein de musées, mais je n'en ai visité qu'un seul : le musée du Mur, près de la porte de Brandeburg. Je te le conseille, c'est très émouvant et impressionnant.

bonjour,
je suis allé à berlin en septembre 2004. Les choses à ne pas louper à Berlin : La porte de Brandenbourg, le Reichtag (entrée gratuite), le musée du mur, Checkpoint Charlie. Et s'il fait beau, la balade en bateau mouche sur la Spree vaut le coup.
je vois que tu habites Varsovie, je compte aller en Pologne en septembre 2005 et visiter Varsovie et krakow. Connais tu les auberges de jeunesse de ces deux villes ? Sont elles loin du centre ville ?

Si tu aimes les Antiquités, Berlin a deux magnifiques musées: le Pergamon avec le gigantesque autel grec de Pergame, et une porte monumentale babylonienne la porte d'Ichstar.
A Charlotemburg réside la plus belle femme de Berlin, c'est à dire le fameux buste de Nefertiti, et un beau musée Egyptien. Il y a aussi la Typologie de la terreur sur la Gestapo et la prison musée de la Stasi; il y a aussi quelques morceaux du Mur.
Le musée des Alliés explique le blocus de Berlin.
Une ballade à l'Est est agréable: Unter den Linden, le quartier Friedrich....On peut aussi aller à Postdam, réplique du chateau de Versailles.

Bonjour, j'ai eu la chance de vivre deux ans à Berlin, je vais tenter de répondre:
- Selon le temps que tu as, je ne ferais pas le musée Checkpoint Charlie qui est en réalité très mauvais, notamment si on le compare aux autres musées berlinois. Pour moi, il n'en vaut vraiment pas le coup, surtout en regard des trésors que possède la ville:
Pour les musées, je te conseille: - Le Pergamon Museum, si tu ne dois en faire qu'un. Le laisser de côté, c'est comme venir à paris et snober le Louvre ou aller à Londres sans passer par le British. Il recèle de trésors dont les trois principaux sont l'autel de Pergame reconstitué, la Porte d'Ishtar de babylone et la Porte de Millet, bien qu'il me semble que celle-ci soit dorénavant en restauration, cachée derrière des échafaudages - Tous les musées de la Museum Insel valent le coup, j'aime particulièrement l'Altes Museum - Un musée qui vaut mille fois le Check Point Charlie: l'exposition The Story of Berlin sur le Ku'Damm. Extrêmement bien faite, extrêmement ludique. - Le Musée Juif est incontournable également, il est splendide, aussi très ludique, très émouvant sans être larmoyant...Une réussite.
Pour les autres monuments: - Evite de monter dans la Fernsehturm, c'est cher et ça n'en vaut pas le coup - Pour avoir une vue imprenable, il faut effectivement privilégier le Reichstag. Y aller très tôt le matin ou très tard le soir, la queue est parfois décourageante - Le Berliner Dom est à mon goût (très discutable) le plus beau monument de Berlin - Un petit tour à la Gedächtnis Kirche, symbole du martyre berlinois de la guerre, s'impose aussi. - L'East Side Gallery est également incontournable: autour de la Ostbahnhof, c'est le plus grand pan de mur encore debout, décoré de fresques expressives. - La Porte de Brandenburg, mais elle est globalement inratable pour les gens qui se rendent à berlin. - L'Olympia Stadion, à l'ouest, vaut aussi le détour en cas de séjour plus prolongé,
Berlin se découvre aussi beaucoup à pied ou en vélo (la ville est immense): - Tu peux descendre à Alexanderplatz et marcher jusqu'à Postdamer Platz. Tu verras le long du parcours la Fernsehturm, le Dom, la Museum Insel, Unter den Linden, la Branderburger Tor, tu peux pousser jusqu'au Reichstag et en revenant longer le nouveau monument de l'Holocauste jusqu'à Postadmer Platz que je conseille particulièrement au crépuscule ou de nuit. - Flâner dans Mitte autour du Hackescher Markt en remontant la très animée Oranienburgerstrasse pour voir la Grande Synagogue et le Tacheles et poursuivre jusqu'à Friedrichstrasse - Marcher autour du canal et dans Kreuzberg en général - Aller de bar en bar à Friedrichshain ou Prenzlauer Berg - Sortir de la ville pour aller explorer parcs et forêts et pourquoi pas Postdam.
Bref, il y a matière à occuper des semaines :)

Pour changer un peu des antiquités, j'ajouterais la Gemäldegalerie, à côté de la Postdamer Platz. Une sucession de chefs-d'oeuvres de l'école du nord et quelques joyaux des écoles italiennes et françaises. J'ai rarement vu une pinacothèque d'une telle qualité.

Hi there, 🙂
Summer 2027 is going to be Norwegian for us! We’re heading to the Lofoten Islands first, then Senja, near Tromsø, and finally the North Cape. We’ll likely start from northern Finland (flight tickets and car rentals are more affordable there).
I’d like to book accommodations early to have more options. Good value-for-money places go fast in these pricey Nordic destinations...
But where should we book?
We’re planning to stay around ten nights in the Lofoten Islands.
What’s the best approach?
One place in the central part and explore from there?
One place in the south and another in the center?
Or one in the south, one in the center, and one in the north (3-4-3 nights)?
Our main goal is hiking.
Thanks for your tips!😉

Hi everyone,
We’re a family of 4, and we’ve booked our flight tickets for a 6-day trip to Barcelona from October 18 to 24, 2026.
Now we’re looking for accommodation, and we’re a little panicked by the prices. Our initial searches are showing nightly rates of 250 or 300 €.
So our question is: are we missing something to find more affordable options? And do you have any great tips to share with us?
Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions!

Hello,
We’re planning a short trip at the end of July to explore the legendary mountains and valleys of the Bernese Oberland: round trip from Nancy (Swiss highway vignette planned), 2 nights in a room with a small kitchen in Adelboden, then 2 nights in a hotel at the Gletscherblick in Grindelwald, both with half-board included. Could you share some tips on the best road routes to take, as well as some walking hikes (we’re not as fit as we used to be, so nothing longer than 2-3 hours)? Maybe also 1 or 2 cable car rides—I was thinking of Oeschinensee Lake above Kandersteg and the First gondola above Grindelwald for better panoramic views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau... all while keeping it doable with our schedule. We’ve ruled out the "premium" trip up to the Jungfraujoch for this time. I’m also guessing that paying to access Wengen or Mürren only makes sense if we’re staying there for a few days, right? - Is the road through the narrow valley of the White Lütschine toward Lauterbrunnen and beyond still worth it in terms of views and scenery?
On the way back, if we have a little time to explore Bern’s historic old town, what’s the best parking plan for a 1- or 2-hour stop?
Thanks in advance for your advice, fellow travelers familiar with this beautiful region! 😉

Hi,
I’ll be in Barcelona at the end of October.
I can choose to be there over the weekend or during the week. Probably 4 nights.
Is there a big difference in terms of crowds in the city and in the museums?
Little or no difference would simplify my itinerary on the way.
Thanks

Hi there,
I’ll be in Rome from April 1st to 13th, 2026—it’s coming up fast!
I’ve been searching online for tickets to visit the Borghese Gallery, but either there’s no availability or the tickets offered are ridiculously expensive.
Could someone guide me to a website where I can book 2 skip-the-line tickets (I’ve heard you have to reserve in advance online)?

Hi everyone,
I rented a car through Klaus Wagen, picking it up in downtown Porto and returning it in downtown Lisbon.
After paying, I read some pretty negative reviews about them.
So, can anyone reassure me with positive experiences they’ve had with them?

Hello, VoyageForum friends, and happy holidays!
I’m planning a trip with my 19-year-old grandson to Milan for Easter Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in 2025.
I’d love your insights on what we can visit in Milan that would interest both my grandson and me (I’m 75). Of course, I’m thinking of the must-sees, but not just those—cozy little restaurants, trendy neighborhoods, and anything else you’d recommend. I’m also looking for a comfortable hotel in the city center that isn’t too expensive!
I’m sure the VoyageForum community will help me uncover some hidden gems! Looking forward to your replies.

Hi there,
I’m heading to Setúbal at the end of June with my granddaughter, and I can’t seem to find clear info on the best way to get from Lisbon Airport to Setúbal. It looks like there’s a train or bus, but I can’t find the exact names of the bus (or train) companies or the precise departure points. Thanks if anyone can help me out! 😉 Just to clarify, I’m on a tight budget and have already ruled out taxis or similar options.

Hi there,
I visited the Faroe Islands in late March 2026 for about ten days. I was invited by a friend who lives near Tórshavn, so I don’t have any info on tourist accommodations or car rentals. Still, I’d like to share a few thoughts about my trip:
- Before leaving, I consulted travel guides and blogs. I was surprised by how repetitive and unoriginal the featured sites were. This leads hurried travelers to follow the same overcrowded routes, which can annoy locals. I found that all Faroese villages were interesting—they reflect the country’s identity, even without the iconic grass-roofed houses. Those are indeed harmonious and beautiful, but they feel like an exotic cliché. For activities, I loved the lively ports that keep the country running.
- I was annoyed by the paid trails in tourist spots. Locals explained that these paths cross private land, and owners are responsible for maintenance and safety. There are plenty of free trails, too—signs at the start detail their features. While not alarmist, the extreme and unpredictable weather is a key factor to consider before setting out.
- The wind’s strength really impressed me. The architecture, with doors and windows opening outward to prevent gusts from blowing roofs off, speaks to the harsh climate. Some days, relentless rain and squalls made going outside unappealing. I realized that in this country, it’s best to plan for flexible indoor days.
- Distances are relatively short. I was happy to be based near Tórshavn because it was easy to explore one or more places in a day. The roads are in great condition. In late March, diesel was 2 €. Tunnel tolls can add up (~26 € per crossing), making a fixed base less practical than I’d thought.
- Everyone agrees: the landscapes are breathtaking. Nature feels untamed here—except for the short grass, thanks to all the woolly sheep.
- The flight from Paris to the Faroe Islands (and back) was long in March—11 hours with three legs: Paris-Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Copenhagen, Copenhagen-Vágar. In bad weather, Vágar Airport can close, causing delays. During tourist season, Atlantic Airways offers a direct Paris-Faroe Islands flight, which is more comfortable and cheaper.
- I found a book recommendation in a guide that fascinated me after my trip: *Les collectionneurs d'images* by Joanes Nielsen. Through its sometimes caricatured characters, it offers a glimpse into Faroese mentalities from the 1950s to 1970s—attitudes that likely persist today.
In conclusion, I’ve traveled a lot and I’m tired of destinations that all start to look the same. The Faroe Islands were a delight—a country stunning in its landscape, climate, and culture, where tourism has barely altered its authenticity.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
We’re heading to Bavaria from May 13 to 23, with a side trip to Austria.
Here’s our itinerary:
Day 1: Brussels-Munich
Day 2: Munich
Day 3: Munich and departure for Salzburg
We’ll be staying three nights in Salzburg.
Then we’ll head to Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where we’ll stay for five nights.
Visiting Munich and Salzburg isn’t too tricky.
Once in Garmisch, we’re planning a day in Innsbruck, a day for Neuschwanstein Castle, and the rest is still up in the air.
What’s really got me stumped is that we’d love to see Königssee Lake—everyone says it’s a must-see.
We’d also like to visit the Eagle’s Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), where the landscapes are supposedly stunning.
This would either be a round trip while we’re in Salzburg or on the way between Salzburg and Garmisch, but I’m guessing it’s impossible to do the drive from Salzburg to Garmisch, the Eagle’s Nest, *and* Königssee Lake all in one day.
Plus, the Alpine route between Salzburg and Garmisch seems prettier than the highway.
But honestly, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning.
We should’ve added a stop between Salzburg and Garmisch, but the hotels are already booked.
Thanks for any advice on the itinerary and visits!
Another question: How far in advance should we book Neuschwanstein, Königssee, and the Eagle’s Nest in May?
Thanks so much in advance for your tips and ideas!

I’m torn between: Rosenborg Castle, Amalienborg Palace, or Frederiksborg and Charlottenborg Palaces
Any suggestions?
Thanks
I’ll be in Copenhagen this coming May for a few days.

hi
I’m wondering if anyone can give me some info on how to get from Mallorca to Menorca.
Since flights are cheaper to Mallorca, I’d like to go that way.
Thanks so much for your help!
Hi there,
We’re planning a trip to Finland and Norway this summer, starting in Oulu to explore Lapland, heading up to the North Cape, and then making our way down to Bergen.
This route means renting a car in Finland and dropping it off in Norway. My initial searches are showing rental rates that are... astronomical—about three times the price compared to returning it at the starting point.
I’m guessing I’m not the only one wanting to visit both countries. Are there any great tips to drastically reduce the cost of renting a car?

Hi there, we’re a couple of bikers planning a trip to Majorca in June 2026, and I’d love to organize a half-day or full-day boat or catamaran outing. Which coast do you think is the nicest for this, and do you have any suggestions or personal experiences to share? Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
We’ll be staying in London for 3 nights in September.
Could you recommend a hotel near a tube station, at a good price, with fairly spacious rooms?
Thanks! 🌸

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there are any works in progress at Torcello, and if so, what type of works and how long they’re expected to last?
Thanks in advance
