Bonjour ,
Me revoici avec de nouvelles questions...
J'aimerais savoir si , pour se rendre à CAPRI et à PROCIDA , il y a moyen de partir de POSITANO. Sinon , comment faire ? Est-ce long? Est-ce cher ( aller-retour )?
Ensuite , mon mari ne connaissant pas PAESTUM , nous aimerions finalement nous y rendre. Je pense qu'une 1/2 journée suffirait? Pourriez-vous donc me dire quel est le meilleur moyen d'aller à PAESTUM de POSITANO? Combien de temps faut-il compter? La solution taxi serait-elle bonne , et , si oui , à quel prix approximativement? Pourrait-on , dans la même journée , voir autre chose , sans qu'il y ait trop de complications au niveau des transports? Je pensais à VIETRI DEL MARE , mais est-ce intéressant?
Nous avons vu aussi que des randonnées étaient possibles sur le " sentier des dieux " à partir de PRAIANO , mais je ne trouve pas beaucoup de renseignements , notamment les parcours sont-ils modulables en fonction de nos compétences , de nos envies?...
Merci de nous aider , si vous le pouvez.
Merci de nous aider , si vous le pouvez.

Pour vous rendre à Capri: De Positano, vous descendez à pied vers la marina et prenez le traversier qui vous emmène à Capri. C'est très facile d'accès et prend très peu de temps pour s'y rendre. Je ne me rappelle pas du coût, mais ce n'est vraiment pas dispendieux quand on pense aux beautés qui nous attendent à Capri.
Pour vous rendre à Procida: Procida est une petite ile demeurée un peu plus sauvage, mais avec de jolies petites maisons colorées. Je ne sais pas si vous pourrez y avoir accès directement de Positano, mais vous pouvez définitivement prendre le traversier de Capri à l'ile de Ischia et ensuite une liaison par bac (25mn) ou Hydrofoil (+ dispendieux, mais 15mn) de Ischia à Procida. La distance de Capri à Ischia est un petit peu plus longue que de Positano à Capri.
Paestum: Je n'ai pas de commentaire car nous disposons d'un véhicule quand nous nous déplaçons.
Vietri Sul Mare: Je ne l'ai pas aimé autant que Positano ou Amalfi, car la ville est plus grande, vieille, et achalandée. Je vous recommanderais plutôt un autobus (votre hôtel pourrait vous diriger) vers Ravello. Vietri est plus près de Salerno et les résidents de Salerno l'utilisent comme leur plage locale. Si vous êtes à pied, elle est plus grande à visiter, mais il y a quand même le dôme de San Giovanni et sa tour octogonale ainsi que les boutiques d'artisans de céramiques.
Sentier des Dieux, Praiano: En fait, il y a plusieurs sentiers pédestres dans la nature et les hauteurs sur la péninsule et qui offrent un grand panorama. Ils forment un triangle de Praiano, Agerola, Positano à Praiano. Le sentier des Dieux est celui de Praiano à Agerola (4 hr. aller-retour) et il faut être bon marcheur pour en voir une bonne partie. Le site suivant ne vous donnera peut-être un aperçu: http://www.coteamalfitaine.net/sentier-des-dieux.html

Bonjour ItaliaMia et merci pour vos informations , toujours précises , rigoureuses.
C'est tant mieux si nous pouvons nous rendre de Positano à Capri! Mais savez-vous combien de temps on met pour réaliser ce trajet?
Une question cependant : les traversiers exercent-ils toute l'année , et plus précisément en avril , puisque c'est le mois qui nous intéresse ?
Autre chose : croyez-vous possible de "faire" Ischia et Procida en une journée , avec retour à Positano ensuite?
Un grand grand merci pour votre aide.
Bon dimanche!
Bonjour,
Nous avons visité Paestum cet été (nous venions du sud pour nous rendre à Praiano). La journée fut longue .... En imaginant le trajet inverse (que vous ferez), je ne pense pas que vous puissiez faire cette visite en une demi-journée, surtout si vous n'avez pas de véhicule (nous avions une voiture de location). Le site est vaste ...et la route qui y conduit (notamment la route de la côte) ne permet pas de faire le trajet "rapidement". Une journée complète serait plus raisonnable, mais en taxi, cela va vous coûter fort cher !!

Bienvenue!
Il y a déjà 3 ans la dernière fois que nous sommes allés à la Côte en juin et, comme nous avons fait plusieurs trajets en bateau d'un endroit à l'autre, je ne me souviens plus du temps exact que chacun a pris, ni du coût. Voici quand même une idée:
De Positano à Capri: Transport assuré par navire à grande vitesse (Transporto marritimo veloce), environ 45 min. pour un aller (1h30 aller-retour).
Villages de Salerno à Positano: À l'époque, le transport marritime entre Salerno et Positano était fourni par la Linea Intercostiera de TRA.VEL.Mar.srl, mais leur site semble être en construction et ne montre aucune info à jour: http://www.travelmar.it/ Cela pouvait coûter environ 6, 50Euros à l'époque et le service débutait le 14 avril.
Vous pouvez faire les îles de Ischia et Procida en une journée, mais il vous faudrait ajouter le voyage maritime (aller-retour) et la correspondance à Capri (si une navette n'est pas disponible directement de Positano) et faire très très rapidement. Je vous suggère plutôt de prendre une journée pour aller-retour à Capri et prendre votre temps pour en visiter tous ses attraits que j'avais listé. Vous pourriez prendre une autre journée pour faire les Iles de Ischia et Procida (15min. de Ischia à Procida) en partant de Positano/correspondance marritime à Capri/ ensuite Ischia et Procida.
Évidemment en juin, le choix des transports rapides, traversiers, navettes, hydrofoils, bacs etc...est facilement à notre portée à des heures périodiques journalières. Comme vous avez déjà choisi votre hôtel, vous pourriez communiquer avec votre hôte afin d'obtenir les infos pour le mois d'avril.
Bonne chance!

Rebonjour Daphnia,
Suite à nos messages privés, je vois que je vous avais déjà transmis le 8 novembre une photo du Paul Shark SNAV à partir d'Amalfi en direction de Capri.
Voici d'autres photos du port d'Amalfi (de gauche à droite) pour vous situer un peu si vous en aviez besoin...

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
Hi there, a friend will be visiting Great Britain in August and would like to explore some representative spots in Denmark before heading back to Canada.
What affordable activities could you recommend to him?
He’d really appreciate it, as he has a deep appreciation for Nordic countries—probably because of his own Nordic roots.

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!

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! 😉

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.
Hi there,

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?

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?
