So for the past few months, after I booked my ticket to Zurich, I was stoked to travel solo in Europe. I planned out the beginning.. go to Zurich for a few days, hang out with cousins, then onto Interlaken for another few days and then it hit me.. where the hell do I go after that? I figured I'd figure that out when I get there, but it'd be nice to have a basic idea. Last summer I did Paris, Brugge, Amsterdam, and various places in Switzerland. I was thinking I'd head out to Czech Republic, but other than that I dont have much of an idea. I'll be there for 3 weeks, so I'm looking for like... 1.5-2 weeks of travel. Can anyone give me some suggestions to maximize the sweetness of my trip?

Thanks,

What about Munich or Austria? I plan on hitting both during my trip this year. The Czech Republic is a great choice to from what I hear...

Salzburg, Berlin, or Prague have my vote...or just hop down to Slovakia or somewhere in that area

There is a Toy Museum in Salzburg that I am very excited to see...I have worked at some type of Toy Store since 1992.

if you havent yet been, you could hop down to italy for a bit...rome is AMAZING...definitely my favourite european city...and venice is nice for a day trip....also the beaches of croatia are supposed to be amazing as well, although I didnt make it that far....

I love the Czech! Prague is awesome, but if you want something less touristy I'd say hop over to Olomouc, "The Prague of Moravia." It's a cool college town, with lots of little pubs and historical sites. We used to hang out every night at this pub off the main square called The Crack, it was owned by a guy named Graham from Scottland with two awesome bartenders. A few locals, but a lot of British med students and backpackers. There is also a cool student pub called Vertigo, I can't remember where it was, but it was neat. Not as many people speak English as in Prague, but everyone was really nice and fun. I'd definitely go again.
