Voici comment pour l'instant j'ai plannifié mon séjour en espagne.
Je n'ai pas de voiture, je souhaite voyager en bus et en train (éventuellement 1 ou 2 voyages en avion si nécessaire entre villes trop éloignées).
Avant de réserver les hotels, je veux m'assurer que je n'ai pas trop fait d'erreurs dans ma planification de jours et modifier le nombre de jours en fonction de vos commentaires. L'idée c'est de rayonner autour des villes prédéfinies.
Arrivée à Barcelone = 5 nuits
Valence = 3 nuits
Grenade = 3 nuits
Cordoue = 3 nuits
Tolède = 2 nuits
Madrid = 2 nuits
Pour finir retour Barcelone = 2 nuits (impératif)
Qu'est ce que vous en pensez ?
Des idées de visites à partir de ces villes ?
Merci à tous pour les suggestions et info.
Si tu le souhaites on pourra rentrer dans les "détails", mais je te donne mon opinion concernant ton projet :
Barcelone et Valence "ok"
Grenade 3 nuits "ok" ... il faudra que je te donne deux ou trois adresses 😇
Cordoue 3 nuits : à mon avis deux nuits en "trop", en une journée et une soirée tu auras visité Cordoue et sans voiture tu ne pourras faire les environs (Pliego, Medina Azaharra ...)
Tolède 2 nuits ... oui, mais je pense qu'une "bonne journée" et une soirée, éventuellement une autre 1/2 journée suffisent pour voir l'essentiel
Madrid 2 nuits "ok"
Pour connaître les possibilités de liaisons en autobus, sur ton moteur de recherche tape "estacion de autobuses ...nom de la ville..."
Tu auras ainsi les villes reliées, les horaires et les prix.
Le bus est le moyen le plus souple pour se déplacer entre les villes que tu indiques, sauf Barcelone - Valence et Madrid - Barcelone.
Merci patxi pour tes précieuses indications.
Grand chamboulement de dernière minute au niveau de la période ! 😕Je ne m'y attendais pas.
Alors je prends le temps de laisser poser tout ça et je reprends le fil.
A bientôt
Je suis d'accord avec ce qui a été dit avant. Par contre, Todelo 2 nuits ...je pense que 1 suffit et meme plutot 3 a Madrid car c'est a 1h maxi de madrid et il ya souvent des bus et trains pr y aller. Donc, comme tu auras écourté ton voyages dans des villes comme Courdoue et Toledo, je te conseille d'en rajouter une sur ton chemin comme Séville (après Cordoue puis tu remontes sur Madrid) ou sinon Salamanca est tres jolie aussi (a ce moment la, c'est faisable depuis Madrid par exemple) Je pars moi aussi a Barcelone quelques jours tres bientot donc je pense par contre que la bas, c'est bien ce que tu prevois et si tu es interessée par Gaudi/Dali...Tu peux aller a Cadaques et Figueres (a 1h de BArcelone), c'est ce que je vais faire donc je partage si ca t'interesse !
Bon voyage !
Chamboulement ou pas j'ai décidé de conserver mon séjour en espagne.
J'ai modifié mes dates en fonction de vos conseils. Du coup j'ai ajouté 2 nuits à Séville et 1 nuit à Madrid (ce qui fait 3 nuits) et à partir de laquelle je rayonnerais vers Ségovie et Salamanque.
patxi1 c'est avec plaisir que je recevrais les adresses que tu aurais pour moi, si tu veux elles pourraient etre postées ici pour être utile à des personnes qui feraient des recherches sur le forum.
audrey198376 depuis le temps que je voyais des reportages sur Gaudi à la télé et que je pensais "il faut que j'aille voir ça de mes yeux !" Bien sûr que je suis intéressée par le partage.
😄
Donc tu passeras à Grenade au moins deux soirées !
C'est une ville dans laquelle l'ambiance en fin d'aprés midi et en soirée est au moins aussi "importante" que l'aspect purement touristique, même si en juillet et encore plus en août la vie est plus calme.
Je ne vais pas dresser une liste d'établissements, d'autres sites font celà !
Je vais simplement te dire les quelques endroits ou j'aime aller, et ce pour différentes raisons :
JUAN DE RAMA : en haut de l'Albayzin, juste en contrebas de la place San Nicolas.
Un super restaurant, avec un décor magnifique, un balcon et une terrasse qui offrent la plus belle vue qui soit, avec l'Albayzin à ses pieds, l'Alhambra au second plan et la sierra Nevada en toile de fond. On peut l'aprés midi y aller juste pour prendre un verre sur la terrasse "en haut". Un seul inconvénient ... pas vraiment "classe éco" mais on ne regrette pas!
Calle ELVIRA : au pied de l'Albayzin, à côté de Plaza Nueva. C'est le centre de la vie nocturne granadina. Deux endroits (entre autres) Tabernas Salinas calle Elvira, et La Riviera calle Cetti Meriem (débouche dans Elvira).
Calle NAVAS : à côté de l'ayuntamiento. Lorsque tu y passeras tu feras trés facilement le distingo entre les bars "à touristes" et les autres.
Comment? Simple ... le bruit, la rusticité et le fait que tu n'y entendras parler qu'espagnol.
Mon préféré Los Diamantes, minuscule, il faut "gagner" sa place au comptoir, oublier l'idée de s'y asseoir, mais les tapas et l'ambiance valent le "séjour"
Plaza PESCADERIA et calle SILLERIA : tous les bars de ces deux endroits sont à "recommander" pour l'ambiance et la qualité des tapas.
Ces deux lieux se trouvent à proximité immédiate de la cathédrale.
Il existe de nombreux autres endroits trés agréables le soir pour le tapeo, mais difficile de les citer tous, je pense notamment aux établissements des quartiers de La Chana ou du Realejo ...etc
Gaudi a été un rêve pour moi aussi, c'est une oeuvre inégallée à ce jour ...
Donc je suppose que tu as en tête parc guell, segrada familia, pedrera, et autres oeuvres que l'on trouve dans tous les bouquins de Gaudi...
MAIS il existent d'utres architectes😛 -dont on parle moins🤪- et entre autres choses NE MANQUES PAS "la musique" 😉😉😉 il faut réserver😛!!! Et Tapiès😛, et Miro😛... Barcelona est riche de toutes ces oeuvres ... même le marché couvert de "la boqueria" ne doit pas être oublié avec une dégustation au petit matin de "churros con chocolate" ... inoubliable !!
Merci patxi1 pour ces adresses. Je viens de regarder pour la première fois sur une carte de grenade. Je ne veux pas trop lire avant de partir pour découvrir sur place. Mais là rien qu'à regarder la carte de grenade, je me dis "wouah !" 😉 tout ça à voir ! Je ne manquerais pas de passer aux endroits que tu m'indiques, selon mon itinéraire je devrais être à grenade les 18, 19 et 20 juillet.
fabriz toujours avec mon idée de découvrir sur place je n'avais par contre aucune idée de retrouver aussi Miro ! 😉
Plus j'avance dans la préparation logistique de mon séjour plus je suis enthousiaste.
Pour moi l'Art, doit aider l'humain à contacter les valeurs les plus élevées en lui. Pour moi Gaudi et Miro et d'autres encore bien sûr aussi sont l'expression même de la liberté créatrice. J'ai besoin d'Art pour vivre, ce n'est pas que des mots pour moi. J'ai fait une digression là, mais je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher.
Cela me fait plaisir d'être en votre compagnie avec audrey aussi pour préparer mon voyage. Je ne vois pas comment je ne pourrais pas vous donner des nouvelles !
We're heading to Genoa and the Cinque Terre in mid-October for a full week. We're planning to spend two and a half days—three nights—in the Cinque Terre. The idea is to hike between the villages and use the train (or boat) for the trip out (or back). We're thinking of staying overnight, and I was wondering which village to prioritize.
From January 1st to 4th, I’m heading to Barcelona for the first time. Beyond the tourist sites—which are going to cost me an arm and a leg!!—I’d love to spend a day off the beaten path and see some less touristy spots.
What do you recommend? I’ll be getting around on foot, by metro, or possibly by train if it’s not too far. I love both nature and cultural spots.
And one last thing—is Barcelona at night safe for a woman alone, or is it sketchy?
We’re traveling next summer with our three kids, ages 9 to 15. We’ll arrive in Cork by ferry with our car. We’d like to stay several nights at each stop to settle in, take our time, and stay flexible depending on the weather!
What do you think of this 18-day itinerary:
- Day 1: Arrival around 9:30 AM, drive to Kinsale to visit the village and Charles Fort, then accommodation
- Day 2: Blarney Castle + Cork, then accommodation
- Day 3: Travel to Kenmare (stopping at Gougane Barra?)
- Day 4: Glengariff and surrounding area
- Day 5: Healy Pass + southern Beara
- Day 6: Gap of Dunloe + Kenmare and Reenagross Park
- Day 7: Dursey Island
- Day 8: Killarney National Park
- Day 9: Travel to Clare (stopping at Bunratty)
- Day 10: Kilkee + Loop Head
- Day 11: The Burren
- Day 12: Aran Islands
- Day 13: Travel day to Connemara (stopping at Roundstone and Dog’s Bay or via Galway?)
- Day 14: Clifden + Sky Road + beach
- Day 15: Diamond Hill
- Day 16: Kylemore Abbey + Killary Fjord
- Day 17: Drive back to Cork (stopping at Cahir)
- Day 18: Departure
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!
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,
I’ve found my upcoming trip for February, and now I’m looking for a one-week getaway in April—somewhere not too far with generally nice weather. Any tips?
Best,😉
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?
Hi, who’s familiar with the Algarve?
Lagos—should I go for a rental or a hotel? How do I get from the airport to the seaside, and how do I get around the city? What’s there to see and do?
Thanks for your ideas and tips!
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.
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)?
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, 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
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.
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?
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.
Hello,
We’re heading to Puglia at the end of May. We’re a senior couple. We arrive in Bari, where we’ve booked accommodation for 2 nights. We’ve rented a car.
Day 1: Bari
Day 2: Polignano a Mare – Monopoli
Day 3: Ostuni – Brindisi
Day 4: Lecce
Day 5 & 6: Exploring the coast from Otranto to Santa Maria di Leuca
Day 7 & 8: Gallipoli area
Day 9 & 10: Matera
We’re considering renting a place near Lecce for 5 days and using it as a base to explore the region.
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,
We’re planning a trip for October to visit Naples (6 nights) and the Amalfi Coast (5 nights). We’ve already got the historic center and the Lapis Museum in Naples, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Procida, Sorrento, and Ravello on our list. Any suggestions, addresses, or tips?
Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
I’m looking for some great tips for a stay in Palma de Mallorca this summer.
I need cheap flights departing from Toulouse and affordable accommodation for 4 people.
What do you recommend?
Best regards,
