Bonjour ,
Je pars en juillet pour quelques jours , 3 Exactement à Salamanque, avec mon fils de 6 ans.
Je n' ai pas trouvé comment optimiser la visite de la ville avec des circuits journaliers.
Votre expérience et vos propositions jours par jours sont les bienvenues .
Merci

Salut. Salamanque c'est magnifique MAIS c'est petit, en 1 jour on a tout visité... Y compris l'intérieur des monjuments (cathédrales, casa concha et université)
alors comment allonger un peu ? le musée art déco "Casa Lis" me semble intéressant, par contre je n'ai pas grand souvenir d'autres musées vraiment sympa à Salamanca. "Tapeo" dans les rues piétonnes, ballade sur la rive opposée du Tormes (regardez s'il n'y a pas d'activités type canoé ou balade en barques), rastrillo (marché au puces) du dimanche matin... La vie nocturne est intense, puisque Salamanca est une ville étudiante, mais avec un gamin de 6 ans c'est impossible...
Du coup je vous recommande une excursion à la journée : courte vers l'embalse de Santa Teresa + Alba de Tormes, soit un peu plus longue (et plus intéressante) vers la Peña de Francia : soit le petit village bucolique de Candelario à côte de Bejar, soit les villages de la Alaberca et Miranda de Castañar, soit la petite ville de Ciudad Rodrigo (Très joli) que vous pouvez même combiner avec Almeida, de l'autre côté de la frontière. Ou éventuellement une excursion vers Zamora ou vers Ávila, deux très belles petites villes.
Tous ces endroits sont très bien desservis par bus : estación de autobuses, très près du centre. (au niveau des hôpitaux)

Merci je pense que le troisième jour on va s orienter vers une excursion comme vous le conseillez.

je viens de voir que c'est en Juillet... Peu d'animation à Salamanque, puisque les universitaires sont en vacances et... attention, surtout pour le petit il fait très très chaud, chaud et sec, pensez à la sieste et à la piscine et faites vos balades le matin et au soir, lézarder en terrasse.
Autre plan : se baigner en rivière. Hélas, Salamanque capitale n'a pas de zone habilitée sur le Tormes, mais Alba de Tormes ou Huerta, dans la province, oui... Je connais bien la zone de piscine naturelle de Ciudad Rodrigo, par exemple, de 16 à 22 heures toute la ville est là-bas, avec 2 bars ("chiringuitos") et beaucoup d'ambiance, beaucoup de familles, d'enfants, de gens en terrasse et le soir, les barbecues (si autorisé, cela dépend des risques d'incendie)... C'est sympa et on y fait facilement des rencontres.
PS : sinon, le patelin de la peña de Francia, c'est "la Alberca", pas "la Alaberca"
ci-joint deux petits articles sur les piscines naturelles de la province, l'autre pour le village de Huerta www.lagacetadesalamanca.es/...es-junta/201867.html

Hola 😉
Je rejoins totalement l'avis de Normandaluz 😛
Salamanca en Juillet ... avec un gamin de 6 ans !!! Dur dur ... !! Outre le fait, comme le dit Normandaluz, que la ville tournera au ralenti puisque il n'y a pas la vie et l'animation estudiantine, il faut intégrer qu'il va y faire chaud ... très chaud 😕 Le matin vous pourrez "bouger", mais dés la mi-journée vous chercherez les moindres ombrages, et l'après midi il sera illusoire de penser se balader et visiter avant 18h. D'ailleurs tous les commerces sont fermés jusqu'à cette heure, les terrasses si animées en temps "normal" seront désertes, et les seules personnes que vous croiserez, seront des touristes suants et rougissants 🤪 Vous y aurez sans doute pensé, mais je le dis "okazou", quel que soit le type d'hébergement choisi, la climatisation est impérative pour pouvoir dormir et se reposer. Il est fréquent que la nuit les températures ne redescendent pas en dessous des 25°, les appartements ne rafraichissent pas et c'est compliqué quand on est pas habitué (et même en l'étant).
Buen viaje y hasta luego 😎

Bonsoir
Je n'ai pas d'idée de la température qu'il fera en été , j'y suis allée en automne .Par contre , j'y ai passé une semaine et plus, à pied , sans m'ennuyer , sans sortir de Salamanque à part traverser le pont sur le rio Tormes .Il y a beaucoup de monuments à voir .Je n'avais pas d'enfant de 6 ans mais une ado , quelquefois c'est un peu pareil.....De plus , j'imagine que les cathédrales , les couvents et les universités apportent une fraîcheur relative malgré tout . Donc pour 3 jours , je ne sortirais pas de Salamanque. A voir : les 2 cathédrales et les tours la Casa lis les deux universités les couvents de San Esteban et de las Dueñas et des Irlandais la vieux pont sur le rio Tormes la plaza mayor (et ses terrasses de café) les grottes le jardin Et si c'est la saison , il y aura des cigognes . Pour organiser votre séjour , logez au centre historique , vous rentrerez et sortirez de votre logement sans avoir à organiser à l'avance . Même dans un appartement très modeste j'ai eu l'impression de vivre dans un château .

Hi there, after reading a well-known travel guide, it seems like there’s a lot to see and do in Valletta (I’m only talking about Valletta itself). That’s why I’m thinking of spending 2 days there. I don’t want to rush and would like to get a complete overview. However, I’ve noticed that some travelers only spend one day there. For those who know the city well, what do you think? (I’ve also planned the Three Cities for another day, by the way).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hi there,
Our accommodation for 5 days will be near a "Carrefour by Deliveroo Hop." There doesn’t seem to be anything else nearby (it’s a very residential area).
I can’t figure out if it’s delivery-only or if you can also do your grocery shopping there. Does anyone know this type of store and could help me out, please?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I called, but I don’t speak Italian and the store doesn’t speak English—so they hung up on me.

Hi everyone, we’re a group of 11 people (including 3 kids under 4) who’d like to do a wine tasting tour starting from Florence (we haven’t rented a car) in Chianti.
We’re looking for an organized tour that leaves from Florence and lets the adults do some wine tasting (and olive oil tasting if possible).
For those who’ve done this tour, do you have any suggestions for tour names that organize these kinds of events? What should we look out for before booking these tours?
Thanks so much for your help!

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, 🙂
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, 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,
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?
Thanks in advance!
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.
Hi there,

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!
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
