My daughter has just moved to Kaiserslautern, Germany -about 1.5 hrs from Frankfurt to work for 3 yrs - so planning to visit Europe a lot while she is there. Before she got the job in Germany, we had already planned a vacation to Europe this fall - Paris, Venice, Rome, Naples, Athens, and Istanbul (maybe given the current situation- but airfare is booked). We will be in Germany for month of Nov - a bit late and chilly to enjoy the outdoors and surprisingly many tourist attractions close by end of Oct.
So late summer of 2017 - thinking of going over and spending the entire fall then with winter months in Canary Islands and Portugal coast timeshares. Maybe spring time somewhere before coming back home to US.
So for visiting Russia - I guess Moscow and St. Petersburg. Is this doable independently and is staying at an AirBnb apt okay or is a hotel preferable?
Same question for Praque, Warsaw, and Budapest? Are most of these places essentially visiting historical sites in the cities? Any outdoor mountain type hiking closeby? Can you drive a rental car from Germany to Prague, Warsaw, and Budapest?
We love to hike in majestic mountains with pretty scenery. Research shows that Bavaria in southern Germany has the Alps along with castles ! I assume Switzerland and Italy alps resorts will do the same. Any must visit parks/places in the Alps that we should not miss?
Lots of questions - trying to get a handle on what there is to do and start some timeshare searches . Thanks for any help.
