Bonjour.
Il est très bien ce circuit. Toutes les haltes dans les différentes villes vous laisseront assez de temps pour visiter l'essentiel. En plus la période est bien choisie. La grosse folie de la saison s'atténue fin Septembre.
Vérone est une petite ville magnifique ! Il y a un pub qui propose aussi des antipasti, cela permet de grignoter des truc sympas et il n'y a pas de touristes. C'est de l'autre côté du fleuve, sur l'autre rive son nom est "le Corto Maltese".
A venise, munissez vous d'un plan de la ville pour surtout sortir des sentiers batus ! Tout le monde fait le même itinéraire : de la place St Marc au pont Rialto ... pire que dans les couloirs de métro aux heures de pointes ! Mais dés qu'on sort de ce trajet, c'est des découvertes magiques à chaque coin de rue. Il faut se "perdre" avec un bon plan 😉
Votre programme en Toscane est top, mais privilégiez plutôt les petites routes.
Pour Rome, en effet, pas besoins de voiture.
Bon voyage !
Nath.

🙂 Bonjour, merci pour le nom du pub a Verona, oui pour notre programme en Toscane j'ai les routes de campagne pour regarder les paysages magnifique de la Toscane. Meci si j'ai d'autre question puige m'addresser a vous ? A bientot Josee

La fin septembre est un très bon choix, climat très agréable, il y aura du monde dans les "spots" touristiques mais beaucoup moins insupportable qu'en plein été. A Venise essayez de visiter les quartiers moins centraux comme Cannaregio, la Giuddecca, la zattere (quai) en face de la Giuddecca (d'ailleurs il y a un très bon glacier sur ce quai). Pour choisir un resto à Venise fiez vous à un guide type routard ou lonely, il est très difficile de trouver un resto sympa en cherchant soi même à l'aveuglette, on tombe généralement sur de mauvaises cantines pour touristes qui n'ont rien de sympathiques. A Rome dirigez vous vers les petites rues du Trastevere pour trouver un resto le soir, vous ne serez pas tous seuls, mais le quartier est charmant. Le glacier Giolitti situé derrière la piazza colonna est excellent. Bon voyage.
En voiture dans les villes italiennes, (Vérone, Florence....) surveillez attentivement les zones à circulation limitée.
Plusieurs histoires de touristes ayant reçu des contraventions par la poste pour avoir circulé dans ces zones surveillées pas caméra. On peut retracer le loueur avec la plaque d'immatriculation et vous rejoindre de cette façon.
Voir sur ce forum les discussions sur les contraventions reçues par la poste.
Celle-ci par exemple: http://voyageforum.com/v.f?post=1520595;search_string=contraventions%20recues%20par%20%20la%20poste;
Bon voyage, vous aimerez beaucoup c'est sûr!

Bonjour Josée.
Dans la mesure où je peux te répondre, tu peux me recontacter sans problème. Sachant que je pars ce soir pour Venise + Florence mais je rentre Samedi. Je ne pourais pas "fureter" hors des sentiers touristiques car je pars avec 45 personnes ...
En ce qui concerne la circulation, et les abords des villes, la signalétique laisse à désirer, donc patience ! Pour les parking, attention !! Il vaut parfois mieux se garer un peu à l'écart, dans des grands parking (payant) mais moins chers et moins galères que les emplacements dans les centres ville. Dans le centre, attention aux différentes zones. Les bleus et les jaunes (marquées au sol) Au moment même où je t'écris, j'ai un méga doute ... je ne sais plus sur lesquelles on doit se garer ... il suffit de demander à un agent ou un local car toutes les villes fonctionne ainsi. Ou tout simplement demander à un bureau de tabac (tabacchi) c'est d'ailleurs là qu'on achète des tickets de stationnement.
Pour les bons plans restaus, il est vrai que le "guide du routard" est bien fait. J'ai eu l'occasion de le tester dans différentes villes italiennes.
Je te souhaite une bonne continuation concernant la préparation de ce voyage qui m'a l'air déjà bien organisé 🙂
Ciao ciao.
Nath.

pour les bons restos les plus fortunés se réfereront au guide michelin, les autres peuvent utiliser www.slowfood.it
sinon un petit truc, qui n'est pas spécifique à l'italie: éviter les restos affichant les menus en plusieurs langues, attrappe touriste presque garanti
pour info géographico-économique, la petite ville de verone est une agglomération de 450.000 habitants comptant parmi les plus industrielles d'europe

Salut, oui ton voyage ressemble beaucoup au notre. Est ce que tu voyage en train ou voiture ? As tu calculer le temps de route entre chaque ville, 17 ville pour 15 jours tu enleve les 2 jours de vol il en reste 13, (nous passons dans 13 ville en 16 jours, 18 avec nos jours de vol) Si tu veux apprecier un peu chaque ville, a mon avis c'est un peu charger mais chaqu'un voyage a sa facon. Pise et Cinq Terre tu peux le faire en 1 jour Pise le matin tres tot et Cinq Terre le reste de la journee, Florence et Sienne 1 autre journe Florence le matin tres tot jusqu'a 2h00 environ apres direction Sienne pour le reste de la journee et la soiree, tu peux faire San Gimignano en meme temps que la route du Chianti c'est un tres petit vilage donc 1 jour pour ca c' ok, Quelle genre d'hebergement as tu, voyage sac a dos ou valise change tu d'hebergement a chaque jour . Nous avons 5 hebergement en tout dans des maisons et des appartemenst, si tu as d'autre question je te repondre le mieux que je peux. C'est un tres beau voyage est ce que c la premiere fois en Italie? Nous oui Bon voyage Josee

Bonjour!
En fait, nous arrivons à Milan en a.m la 1ere journée et la journée de départ de Rome est au jour 16, donc non comptée.
Merci pour les infos. Par contre, impossible de vendre à ma douce de passer seulement une demi-journée à Florence :-).
Nous voyagerons sac à dos, mais avec voiture ce qui nous laisse la plus grande flexibilité. je suis à booker l'hbergement (je sais, je suis un peu tard!), mais nous devrions avoir 7-8 établissements pour hébergement. Nous essayons de dormir 2 fois au même endroit (ex arrivé à Florence en soirée, visite le lendemain, dodo encore à Florence et départ le lendemain matin). Est-ce que vos hébergements sont en ville ou à l'extérieur? J'aimerais privilégier un peu à l'écart en B&B ou chambre d'hôte car moins cher.
Petite question: Comment avez-vous bâti votre itinéraire? Vous semblez en savoir bcp même si c'est votre 1er voyage. Est-ce parce que vous avez de la famille en Italie. Au moins, votre itinéraire m'a un peu rassuré sur le nôtre!!

Bonjour à tous,
Nous sommes une famille de 4 et nous avons pris nos billets d’avion pour passer 6j à Barcelone du 18 au 24 octobre 2026.
Nous cherchons maintenant un logement et nous sommes un peu paniqués par les prix. Nos premières recherches nous mènent à des nuitées à 250 ou 300 euros.
D’ou notre question: ratons nous quelque chose pour trouver des adresses plus économiques ? Et auriez vous des bons plans à nous partager ?
Merci d’avance pour vos idées et suggestions

Hey there,
I’m heading to Tuscany in August for three weeks. Does anyone have any tips to share? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm heading to Italy soon and I wanted to know if Italian banks charge fees when you withdraw cash at an ATM, or if, like in Spain or Greece, it's better to avoid taking out money and bring cash instead. Looking forward to your replies... Thanks
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 there, my husband and I are planning a trip to Iceland in mid-October 2026.
Would you have any advice on the best places to visit for a first trip to this destination? Thanks
Amazing trip in May 2026: fantastic landscapes, such a different vibe from our other journeys, wonderful memories, but...
- Discovering the population: very few "native" Icelanders,
and exceptional discretion from the police, who were notably absent from the white vehicle stopped by the roadside that caught us speeding in mid-May... To this day, only our inquiry with the car rental company has informed us of a "speeding ticket" message. More than a month later, we still don’t know the "severity" of the offense or the amount of the fine we’ll be "hit with."
Well, well, a taste of Icelandic administrative experience...

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)?
Thanks in advance for the info!

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.

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!😉

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!
hi
I’ll be in Copenhagen this coming May for a few days.
Do you have any recommendations for things to visit?
If I had to pick one castle to visit, which one would it be?
I’m torn between: Rosenborg Castle, Amalienborg Palace, or Frederiksborg and Charlottenborg Palaces
Any suggestions?
Thanks

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?
Thanks to the community for your suggestions!

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
Hi everyone,
I’m sharing my draft itinerary with you because I just booked our flight tickets, and I feel like it’s quite late in the season. So, I’d like to be sure about my stops before reserving the hotels. I’ll be traveling alone with my two adult children. We want to prioritize outdoor walks, avoid too many indoor visits (both for budget and preference), and not spend too much time on the road.
D1: Arrival at 9 AM in Malaga, day in Malaga and overnight stay D2: Head straight to Nerja (1-hour drive) and spend the night there D3: Head straight to Granada (1.5-hour drive), spend the day and night there D4: Granada. Visit the Alhambra (Nasrid Palaces tour at 5 PM) and spend the night D5: Head to Ronda (2.5-hour drive) and spend the night D6: White Villages and overnight in Ronda D7: Head straight to the Costa del Sol (e.g., Estepona), spend the day and night there D8: Return to Malaga to catch our flight
There you go! This itinerary takes into account that we’d like to do a circuit starting from Seville in a few years. That said, it’d be a shame to miss something doable from Malaga.
Questions: Since the Alhambra visit is only at 5 PM, and we’d already have the day to explore Granada, would arriving the day before be a mistake? Or should we skip this day and dedicate it elsewhere (Costa del Sol? Head toward Tabernas?)? The old town appeals to me, but maybe the Sacromonte neighborhood isn’t essential... Same question for Ronda: should we dedicate a full day to it, or combine Ronda and the White Villages in one day? Note that we love wandering around villages outside, so that might answer my question! :)
Final question: Is it better to rent the car at Malaga Airport or in the city? If we rent at the airport, we’d need a hotel with parking, which doesn’t seem easy. Or stay outside the city and park for free near the center if possible? I’ve read comments about taking a taxi to Malaga and then picking up the rental car at the airport the next morning. The taxi would really need to be affordable...
Thanks so much for your feedback and suggestions for visits during this little circuit. Have a great day, everyone! Christine

Hello,
we’re a couple planning a 2-week road trip this August, with a must-stop (about 3 days on Skye). Any route suggestions? Hotel recommendations? Photo spots?
Hello,
My husband and I are planning a trip to Ireland in September 2026. We’ll be flying from Montreal to London, where we’ll spend three nights. After that, we’ll head to Dublin for a few days and take trains to visit the main attractions. Our ideal plan would be to choose hotels near train stations and take tours to the interesting spots. Would 8 days in Ireland be enough for this kind of trip?

Hi there,
We’re a group of 4 heading out at the end of June for 11 days. I’m just starting my research. We’ll be renting a regular car, not a 4x4. I’m not finding a ton of info on the North. Would love your take on all those kilometers—is there a route that lets us cut out a section? Thanks
