One month in Italy by train: what off-the-beaten-path recommendations do you have?
by Clarapapizza · 2026-06-16 · 5 replies
Hi everyone,

I’m planning a trip around Italy using only trains or public transport in October (hoping the weather stays nice!).

I’d obviously like to see some tourist destinations, but I also want to get off the beaten path a bit, and I’m hoping to find some help here? I don’t plan to linger too long in the cities.

Starting in the north, I’d like to visit Lake Como or Lake Orta, pass through the Cinque Terre for some hiking, spend a few days in Naples and Rome, then head down to Sicily.

What do you think?

Thanks for your help! 🙂
Slovenia and Northern Italy without a car
by Lewinch · 2026-06-07 · 0 replies
Here’s the itinerary for a ten-day trip through Slovenia and Northern Italy using local transport.

Saturday, May 2: Arrival

Arrived in Ljubljana on a Transavia flight from Paris. I’d spotted a bus connection to the city center, but it’s worth noting there’s no dedicated line—most buses stopping at the airport come from Bled. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, the bus was already packed with people who’d headed to the lake for some fresh air. I ended up taking a shared van, with drivers actively offering transfers to travelers. I paid 12 € for the ride to the train station, then walked 15 minutes to Hotel Celica. It lives up to its description as a former prison turned hotel—close to the city center, clean, with a hearty breakfast. The rooms are basic, with beds 3 meters off the ground, accessible by a wooden ladder. For dinner, I opted for an Indian restaurant.

Sunday, May 3: Urban marathon





Good news: museums are free on the first Sunday of the month. I started with the National Gallery, then took a stroll through Tivoli Park, enjoying the outdoors. I tried grilling in the park before heading to the Museum of Modern Art and the eclectic National Museum of Slovenia, which was interesting for its architecture. Next up was the castle—you can enter the grounds for free; the only reason to pay is to access the keep for the city views.

Monday, May 4: Bled



I spent the morning exploring Ljubljana’s architecture but was disappointed by the Krakovo district, which guidebooks had hyped up.

In the afternoon, I took the bus to Bled. The hostel was right at the bus station, and I soon realized I’d be the only guest—the owner was struggling to attract visitors. I walked around the lake and searched for the viewpoint access. It’s a steep climb with a staircase, but worth it.



Tuesday, May 5: Vintgar Gorge



I headed to the gorges early in the morning via a shuttle, then walked back to Bled. It was stunning—it reminded me a bit of the Samaria Gorge I’d visited last year.

The bus took me straight to Stara Fužina near Lake Bohinj, where I stayed in a homestay. I loved it, even though there wasn’t much interaction with the hosts.

The weather was overcast and misty, giving the lake a Scottish vibe.



Wednesday, May 6: Bohinj

Rainy day, so I took the bus to Ukanc at the far end of the lake and walked back.

Thursday, May 7: Mostnica Gorge and the auto-train

I set off on foot for the gorges from Stara Fužina, taking a detour up to Planina Uskovnica, a steep and rarely used trail. The views of Triglav and the traditional alpine huts were incredible.



I then took the auto-train to Most na Soči. The passenger section has compartments, and the windows can be opened. The ride through the gorges was breathtaking. I stayed at a family-run guesthouse near the Most na Soči station—authentic and cozy.



Friday, May 8: Tolmin Gorge and Nova Gorica

I took the bus to Tolmin, then walked 30 minutes to the gorges. The trail is well-maintained but short, so I extended my hike with a scenic loop through the gorges and nearby villages.



A quick train ride later, I was in Nova Gorica for the night, positioning myself to reach the Adriatic coast the next day. I explored at a fast pace—Villa Raffut on the Slovenian side, then crossed the border to visit Palazzo Attems-Petzenstein and grab an aperitivo in the main square. You could tell I was in Italy just by the vibe. The old border checkpoint is still there.

Saturday, May 9: Piran

Three trains and a bus later, I arrived. The journey was scenic, and it was worth it.

Piran is touristy but manageable. It feels like a mix of Croatia and Italy, with both influences evident. The maritime museum was fascinating, with its detailed ship models. There’s still a local feel—there was even a great blues concert by the harbor that evening.

Sunday, May 10: Piran

I walked to Izola along the coast—a beautiful route with paths, roads, and lakes. It was Sunday, and the tip of the village was lively with families picnicking. I decided to take the bus to Koper. The regional museum was quiet, but the garden was stunning.

Monday, May 11: Trieste

The bus connection from Koper was frequent and easy. Trieste is very open to the sea. I visited the castle and the massive Revoltella Museum—good timing, since it was raining. The collection spans everything from classical to contemporary art.



I missed my connection to Stresa later that day, so I had to improvise a night in a dorm near Milan’s train station.

Tuesday, May 12: Stresa

I came mainly for the Borromean Islands. First impressions weren’t great—crowded at the dock and windy. I didn’t like Isola Bella—too many people and too flashy. I much preferred Isola Madre, with its peaceful gardens where you can find solitude. On the way back, I stopped at Isola dei Pescatori after some hesitation, and it was worth it. Finally, I explored Stresa, with its colorful houses and grand palaces.

Wednesday, May 13: Heading to the Jura

I wrapped up my trip by taking the EuroCity train from Milan to Geneva via the Simplon Pass. From there, I headed to my vacation spot, taking the train from Nyon to La Cure (on the border). The rest of the journey was private.
Bright red and a headache
by UnaMilanese · 2025-11-22 · 71 replies
Hello 🙂

I should be serving a warming drink to the participants in the discussion about gardens and parks that provide us with beautiful photos, I could mention the delicious buttery scent wafting from bakeries in the thread about returning to France, but my heart, its powerful pulse that nourishes my entire being, is elsewhere.

Dasht-e Lut, Yazd, Esfahan, Bam, Kerman, Qeshm, Hormuz—a melody, a prayer at the heart of desire.

A dream, an unattainable fantasy? No. Not anymore. A very serious Italian travel agency is organizing this trip for 6 people this winter. I’m signed up, I’m going, I’m living. Maybe.

"But you’re completely crazy!!!!"

I know... I know that every civilization, every society has a vital need to create scapegoats to define and justify itself, pathetically. And Iran is one of them, top of the list. I laugh or sigh, and it doesn’t bother me.

But that unchanging red, deep red and garnet, so beautiful in itself, in all the Western chancelleries repeats, whispers, shouts: don’t go, don’t go, don’t go, you’re putting yourself in danger and we can’t do anything for you. You’ll be turned into mere bargaining chips, into arguments for endless negotiations. Fear must be instilled, its power absolutely preserved, no concessions made to the enemy. The information (how many French hostages, real or fake, compared to the number of travelers?) is always lacking.

Traveling becomes a merciless confrontation between desire, the vital pulse, and anxiety, its ghosts.

Uzbekistan with family in the spring
by Sawaddeekha · 2025-06-16 · 20 replies
Hello,

I’ve been dreaming about the Silk Road for a long time and hope to visit Uzbekistan next year with my husband and son (11 years old). Late April to early May.

I’m planning a very classic itinerary: Tashkent - Samarkand - Bukhara - Khiva - Tashkent.

I checked the Uzbekistan Railways website, but it seems you can only book tickets three months in advance?

Otherwise, I’ve seen some people in other discussions suggest booking through Uzrailway. Are these the apps below? Are they reliable?

I really don’t want to go through a travel agency—I’d prefer to organize everything myself—and it seems the only hurdle is booking the trains. I was thinking of taking the train from Tashkent to Samarkand, then to Bukhara, and finally to Khiva, before flying back from Urgench to Tashkent with Uzbekistan Airways (is that a bad idea?🤪). What do you think?

Since we’re traveling with a child, I’d rather book and organize everything in advance to avoid any potential hassles. I tend to plan my trips much more now than I used to😏.

Would you have any great accommodation recommendations (not luxury, but not a youth hostel either)? We prefer places with charm, friendly owners, and a nice setting...

Also, I speak several languages but not Uzbek or Russian🤪... Is English widely spoken these days?

Thanks everyone 🙂
A Series: June 2025 Photo Contest Theme
by Kate · 2025-06-01 · 59 replies
The theme for June is: A SERIES "A series is a set of coherent images that share several common points while still being different from one another."

In 3 photos, posted simultaneously in the same message, I’d like you to tell me a little story with a few words. You’re allowed 2 series.

They can be narrative or thematic. For example: 3 shots representing 3 professions, 3 places of worship, 3 market stalls, 3 trains... the ideas are endless—whether in the same place or in different countries... or 3 images of the same place, photographed from 3 different angles, under 3 different lights... or 3 images where the predominant color is the same... Narrative and theme can, of course, overlap.

Practical details:

Participation Each VF member can submit up to 2 series, until Saturday, June 21 at 11:59 PM Paris time. Each series of 3 photos must be presented in a single message, with its number indicated (series 1, series 2).

Voting: Each VF member can vote for the 3 series they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme.

Voting will take place from Saturday, June 21 at midnight until Saturday, June 28 at 11:59 PM Paris time.

The selected series will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st series: 3 points - 2nd: 2 points - 3rd: 1 point

The winner is the author of the series with the most points.

Results will be published on June 29 during the day. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing July 2025’s contest.

Photos that have won (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another VF contest are not eligible for this one.

This thread is exclusively for series submitted to the contest. All discussions, comments, and other chatter should take place in this thread.

...................................................................

Narrative: In Bali, I took a cooking class. We went to the market to shop with the teacher. We cleaned and prepped the ingredients to make, among other things, a lovely salad.







...........................................................................

Narrative and thematic: I really loved this place 30 km from Essaouira. A little souk "just as it is," as they say. The souk of Ida Ougourd.







...........................................................................

Thematic: Green in nature. The green of tea plantations in Munnar, a bamboo forest in Les Landes, and a park in Tokyo.

Cécile from the Salton Sea to Alcatraz

And off we go again for what’s certainly our last trip to the American West... After the disaster of September 2022, the diabetes flare-up, and the pulmonary embolism, we’re spending ten days in the spots we missed and some unlikely places. After flying over Scotland, still English,

Greenland, still Danish,



And Lake Huron, still half Canadian,

We land early in Detroit... a nightmare of an airport. A long, dreadful baggage check process, but we still make it to gate A10 just in the nick of time—only for disaster to strike! My passport has my first and last name, my boarding pass has my first and last name, BUT not on Delta’s computer—so we’re denied boarding! We head to the Air France-Delta-KLM desk, where an employee listens to us sympathetically. He books us two seats on an 8:30 AM flight to SF... Then passes us off to two colleagues who offer us a night in a hotel... and send a message to the baggage service to keep our checked luggage safe... In the end, we go to bed earlier, wake up earlier, but since we’ll still get some sleep on the plane, we might be able to look back on this whole mess with a smile... well, we hope so, anyway. 10:17 PM in Detroit—time to sleep. Our clean clothes and toiletries are in the plane. We’ll bounce back!!;
The Verb That Guides
by UnaMilanese · 2025-02-16 · 39 replies
It’s nighttime and 3 degrees in Tashkent.

Hi there,

Reflection: an act of thought that revisits an object to examine it. The object here is travel (or tourist movement, it doesn’t really matter) and the desire to examine it from the particular angle of the verb that drives it came from reading a sentence by Xrctn in the introduction to his travel journal about Turkmenistan.

Part of that strange category of travelers who like ticking boxes...

Ticking I have no idea how strange that is—I actually get the impression it might be pretty common when I see the diverse mix of trips some people here take. But maybe it’s a different approach that drives these compulsive travelers.

Still, it wouldn’t even occur to me. What does it add?

Connecting Or chaining, assembling, linking. These are my verbs. If I can’t do it—either because finances are tight (I live in one of Europe’s pigsties—a PIIGS country, where the virtuous northern barbarians sent the G&S troika to "nurse us back to health" through austerity, making it all the more pleasant to spend every summer among civilized folks on the terrace of my little white house in Kalymnos overlooking the Aegean), or because I’ve chosen a tricky, unstable direction (Lebanon had to be canceled in summer 2006, Syria too, and Iran right now)—I don’t really feel like traveling. I might just tag along to be nice, but it doesn’t mean anything to me.

If I think about the need behind my verbs—this continuous, meticulous, patient way of traveling—it’s about stripping away sudden, artificial exoticism, weaving small, successive changes, and feeling the presence of the knots too. About understanding, integrating something a little different from the image on a screen.

And you? What’s your guiding verb?

Various questions about Uzbekistan
by UnaMilanese · 2025-01-31 · 5 replies
(I sense the moderators changing the title here...)

Good evening! 🙂

The departure date is approaching, and I’m side-eyeing my suitcase... well... uh... It’s true I’m allowed 30 + 8 kg, but if I can pack much lighter, that wouldn’t bother me. So, to eliminate a few "uhs":

1. It’s going to be quite chilly outside, especially in the mornings—I know that—but what about indoors? Do Uzbek hotels tend to be overheated? (More than 21/22°C?)

2. Is this country like Turkey, where you find foam slippers in the room’s linen kit?

3. Are dry cleaners or laundromats common?

Possibly more to come later.

Bulgaria and Romania now part of the Schengen Area

Already partially in the zone with the lifting of checks in March 2024 at airports and seaports, they received the green light from their European partners in mid-December to enjoy the same privileges at land border crossings.
From France to Mecca by Bike
by Baba14114 · 2024-11-18 · 17 replies
Assalamu 'alaykum, Hi everyone,

This thread is to echo some posts I’ve read on this forum while researching a potential bike trip from Annecy to Mecca. I came across several discussions where members mentioned being very interested in cycling to the holy city.

So, God willing, I plan to attempt this journey from January to June next year. The idea is to head to Turkey first, then assess the most reasonable routes based on the geopolitical situation around Palestine and as far as Iraq. Since the Turkish-Syrian border is closed, the only remaining (and I mean *only* remaining) overland option would be to go through Iraqi Kurdistan, Iraq, then Jordan, and finally Saudi Arabia.

That’s the first major challenge of this project. The second is timing. Due to the schedule, I’ll be starting in the middle of winter across Europe and finishing in the peak of summer in Saudi Arabia. If I’d had a choice, I’d have waited a good dozen years—but well, twelve years...

I won’t go into too much detail about the planned route in this post, but here are the broad strokes already set: Annecy to Istanbul. The rest is a bit too far ahead to map out properly. Crossing the Italian border via the Montgenèvre Pass. Straight through northern Italy as quickly as possible (not necessarily very pleasant) to reach Ljubljana. The fastest route through Croatia to spend as much time as possible in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Serbia via the Sandžak region. It crosses the Pešter plateau, which intimidates me at this time of year—its nickname, the "Siberia of the Balkans," says it all... Then Kosovo, North Macedonia, Greece, and Turkey.

I’m open to any advice on this itinerary. The choice was made to pass through as many Muslim-majority regions as possible. In the middle of winter in the Balkans, I don’t feel mentally up to bivouacking alone in that climate. So, I’ll try to find accommodations in mosques or even with locals as much as possible.

That’s the project in a nutshell. The big catch—some of you may have already noticed—is that I’m doing this solo. Yet, this is strongly discouraged by our Prophet—peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. So, I invite anyone interested in joining this project, whether closely or from afar, to reach out and contact me. Any contribution is welcome, whether it’s company for the whole journey (one can always hope!) or just part of it. Advice, contact suggestions, places to stay, and information about Hajj or Umrah are also appreciated.

Thanks for reading this far. I’ll try to check my VoyageForum account from time to time to see if anyone has responded to this thread and will happily reply to your messages and questions.

Take care, Assalamu'alaykum.

Has overtourism changed your relationship with travel?
by UnaMilanese · 2024-11-16 · 13 replies
Good evening! 🙂,

I’m paraphrasing the title of discussions that were popping up back in 2020. Back then, the obstacles were travel restrictions and all sorts of often very arbitrary "health" rules. Today, it feels like we’re facing an epidemic of wanderlust that’s piling up in certain places—places that keep expanding. Places that end up feeling like wallpaper, just part of the scenery, more or less exotic, since the people, the dominant crowd, are always the same. And they’re especially overwhelming in limited spaces like villages, museums, and other remarkable sites.

Personally, it tends to send my cortisol levels through the roof, leading to desperate attempts to salvage what I can (the stress when I saw a travel journal about eastern Crete—then, phew, at least this little piece of old Greece hasn’t been exposed yet. Maybe it’ll survive a little longer). So, no more weekends in beautiful European cities. So, adjusted visiting hours, but that’s not always enough (I’ll still have to say goodbye to Caravaggio’s *Madeleine* since I can’t have a quiet moment with her anymore, even late in the day). So, outright giving up: I’ll never see Machu Picchu. Too late. So, shifting travel dates to minimize the damage (Uzbekistan was originally planned for Easter—with April 24th and May 1st to limit vacation days—but the anxiety of tourist crowds during that mild climate period, with few days off, led me to reschedule the trip for winter. Short days and possible rain are a thousand times better).

Avoiding crowds has become a fundamental criterion for choosing destinations and timing.

And you? Are you able to tune out this identical crowd everywhere, or has it changed your relationship with travel/tourism?

November 2024 Photo Contest: Art Nouveau Around the World
by Ragamuffin · 2024-11-01 · 36 replies
Hello!

With no authority whatsoever, I’m taking the liberty of relaunching the photo contests on VoyageForum, which is now active and alive again 😉

The theme for November 2024 is Art Nouveau, an artistic and architectural movement (1893 to 1913—just before, well, World War I) that has nothing to do with (or does it?) Art Deco, another artistic and architectural movement (1925 to 1940—right before World War II).

**Participation** Every VF member can submit up to 3 photos, until Monday, November 25 at 11:59 PM Brussels time. Each photo must be posted in a separate message, with its number (1, 2, or 3) indicated. Don’t forget to add a short explanation (commentary, location, etc.).

**Voting** Every VF member can vote for the 3 photos they consider the best, based on their own criteria and the theme. Voting will take place from Tuesday, November 26 to Saturday, November 30 at 11:59 PM Brussels time.

Photos will be ranked in order of preference: - 1st photo: 3 points - 2nd photo: 2 points - 3rd photo: 1 point

The winner is the photographer whose photo receives the most points. Results will be published on December 1. In case of a tie, the number of first-place votes will decide. The winner will have the honor of organizing December’s contest.

Photos that have already been nominated (1st, 2nd, or 3rd place) in another contest are not eligible for this one.

**Example of Art Nouveau architecture**



Victor Horta’s house and workshop (considered the "Father of Art Nouveau") on Rue Américaine in Saint-Gilles (Brussels, Belgium).



Villa Melchiorri, Via Cavour in Ferrara (Emilia-Romagna, Italy).

First trips after...
by Sawadeebaht · 2024-10-12 · 43 replies
A turbulent period came to an end around 2022.

Many of us have returned to big trips after making only very small ones—or none at all. For a little anecdote, my dentist told me that due to the lack of travel, a lot of clients treated themselves to implants they would’ve otherwise skipped. The joy of traveling again probably gave some vacationers smiles they hadn’t dared to show before!

Here, you can share what’s on your mind: Have these new, real trips disappointed you, rejuvenated you, or just relieved a long frustration?

For my part, not being so young anymore, there was definitely relief but no explosion of joy. I just had the feeling of picking up the thread of life after a foggy pause, with the bitter taste that 2 or 3 years of my life had been partly stolen from me.
Worldwide et escale obligatoire à Genève depuis le Portugal English translation pending
by LVR · 2020-07-30 · 4 replies
Bonjour à tous,

J’ai acheté il y a plusieurs mois un billet aller simple Nice-Porto avec la compagnie easyJet. Celui-ci n’a pas été annulé.

En me renseignant sur le vol retour avec cette même compagnie (easyJet), il me renvoie automatiquement vers un service appelé Worldwide, et visiblement lié au COVID. Pour obtenir un billet retour Porto-Lille, je suis obligé de passer par une escale à Genève (durée de 19 heures) et cela peu importe la date choisie. J’ai voulu changer de compagnie pour obtenir un billet sans escale (j’ai par exemple essayé AirFrance) mais le prix de easyJet est très attractif et à priori imbattable (80 euros environ contre 280 environ pour AirFrance par exemple...).

Mes questions sont les suivantes: 1) Je ne parviens pas à trouver les informations sur easyJet: Est-ce que quelqu’un a voyagé dans ce cas de figure? Si oui, est-il possible de sortir de l’aéroport de l’escale (ici Genève) malgré le Covid? L’attente étant conséquente, j’aimerais profiter un peu de la ville si je choisis cette option.

2) Sinon, en ce temps de crise Covid, quelle compagnie selon vous me permettrait de voyager sans escale et à prix attractif?

Merci à tous pour votre aide éventuelle.

Des idées ?

Puis je avec un tel avoir, obtenu disons le 15 avril prochain, réserver un vol le 15 ou 20 juin 2021? Ou dois je tout bêtement attendre l'annulation par la compagnie? Merci pour vos réponses.

Habitué aux voyages en roadtrip où en tout cas pas "statiques" (interrail, USA plusieurs fois et Pays Baltes à 2, Montenegro et Santorin - avec deux lieux de chute - avec l'aînée) et aux visites de capitales à un bon rythme (Madrid 4 j avec voyageuse 1 de 3 ans et voyageur 2 de 4 mois), nous aimerions cette fois trouver une idée plus reposante. Après deux années très fatigantes et avec un deuxième petit voyageur qui aura 14 mois en août, nous aimerions trouver une destination qui nous permette de nous reposer tout en nous permettant de faire quelques visites et découvertes car nous n'aimons pas partir pour ne rien faire ! Mais pour contenir nos envies de visiter sans cesse, nous voulons un bon compromis entre un lieu reposant et qui ne nous laissera pas un goût d'inachevé si nous limitons les visites (soit car il y a moins d'incontournables sur place, soit car nous pourrons y revenir). Nous avions fait une fois ce genre de voyage en Crête en se limitant à l'Ouest.

Les critères : - départ de Bordeaux avec dans l'idéal vol direct (une seule semaine, et 2 enfants en bas âge) - le top : un hôtel sympa avec piscine en bord de mer et surtout demi-pension (pour éviter de chercher un restaurant le soir avec deux loulous fatigués, ou d'avoir à faire à manger, pour du vrai repos !), et top du top (mais ne rêvons pas trop) : un mini club pour souffler quelques heures dans le séjour ! - avec un budget correct pour un départ malheureusement (eh oui, l'entrée à l'école...) entre 1er et 10 août ou entre 18 et 28 août) - 1 semaine à 10 jours

Nous avons pensé : à la Sicile, en se limitant à un côté, à Majorque ou Minorque. Nous ne sommes pas forcément centrés sur une île, mais nous voulons éviter par exemple le Sud de l'Espagne (trop de choses à voir autour, on fera un jour un roadtrip dédié à l'Andalousie).

Nous sommes preneurs de vos suggestions, et encore mieux, si vous avez des hôtels à conseiller !

Merci beaucoup à la communauté ! :-)

Bonne journée à tous

II.Règles de traitement des billets 1. Les billets sont valables un an à compter de la date d'émission. Tous les billets éligibles selon la définition ci-dessus peuvent être remboursés gratuitement pendant la période de validité d'un an, à condition que le remboursement soit demandé avant le départ du vol.

Vos sites et astuces pour voyager en train (France, pays frontaliers, voire plus loin) English translation pending
by Profdez · 2020-01-26 · 8 replies
Bonjour,

Récemment comme beaucoup j'ai décidé de me tourner vers le train pour les voyages où il est possible d'éviter l'avion (France, pays frontaliers, voire plus loin, pourquoi pas). Cependant je remarque la facilité avec laquelle on peut trouver des avions pour n'importe où à bas prix, bien moins pour le train.

Par exemple, Kayak propose un super outil pour les vols; avec la carte du monde et des "bulles" affichant les prix selon la destination, ce qui est super pour avoir des idées ou des pistes à bas prix auxquelles on avait pas pensé.

J'aimerais savoir si vous connaissez un outil de ce genre mais pour les trains (Kayak ne le fait pas). Il serait par exemple super de voir des ordres de prix pour une date donnée pour plein de destinations différences, sans avoir à faire des recherches une par une sur des sites différents selon le pays etc ... Je ne sais pas si ça existe déjà. Sinon, quels sont vos sites les plus sympas/fiables pour voyager en train ?

Merci d'avance et cordialement

Des conseils sur la Bosnie à vélo (lieux, routes, etc) English translation pending
by Koaclarck · 2019-12-11 · 12 replies
Salut,

Avec ma compagne, on aimerait passer du temps en Bosnie, à vélo, cet été (août et début septembre). On se donnerait environ 4 semaines pour y aller (depuis Grenoble), en profiter et revenir. On ne ferait donc pas tout l'aller à vélo, ni le retour. Je regarde déjà les possibilités, notamment de gagner du temps par le bateau via l'Italie puis Split. Idéalement, on ferait autrement au retour.

Donc, pour commencer, si vous avez des idées et des conseils sur les trains ou bus (qui prennent les vélos non démontés) entre la Bosnie, la Croatie, la Slovénie, l'Italie et la France, je suis preneur. :)

Et question fourre-tout, si vous avez des conseils à partager sur la Bosnie en général, des lieux jolis à visiter, ou qui vous ont marqué d'un point de vue culturel ou historique (notamment l'histoire récente), n'hésitez pas.

Et évidemment, si vous connaissez des routes magnifiques... :)

J'ai regardé dans les archives du forum, y'a pas eu beaucoup de discussion sur la Bosnie à vélo.

Merci beaucoup pour vos infos et retours d'expérience.

Matt
