Hi Lau Chek – the itinerary had catered for abt 2-3 days per city e.g. at Budapest, to rest off the 13-hr overnight sleeper train ride from Krakow, the following day was quite a relaxed one. Thanks for sharing your route, that is also another possible route to take in most of the sights, would be great if you can share more details.

I don’t think I would like to follow your so-called adventurous fun and exciting journey. In fact, it is too tiring especially you need to spent 13 hour before you could reach Budapest .I would rather start my journey from Munich- – Salzburg- Hallstatt -CK- Vienna- Bratislava-Prague. It is more relaxing and you have more time to do sightseeing.
You may plan your next trip to include Budapest with Zegreb, Ljubljana, Split, Dubrovnik and Venice.

I think there are ISIC cards for Student and for Youth (under 26 years old). If you are under 26 years old, you can apply for the latter. Otherwise, you will have to be a Teacher to qualify for the next category of ISIC card.

You can apply for the card at STA Travel Agencies in Singapore – see statravel.com for more info.

Does it mean that I need to be a student in order to get the ISIC card? If I am not a student, this means I am not eligible to apply knowing that ISIC card has no upper age limit.

Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Do you know what is the age limit of using ISIC student card? And did you apply this card in S’pore. If yes, where did you apply for it?

Thanks!

Usually they accept the ISIC Student card. We bought transportation tickets as and when needed on the spot as our train travel during the trip is not as extensive.

Hi ,

I would like to know how do you get student rate for the train ticket. And do you buy any special pass like Europe pass or you buy your transportation tickets as and when you like…
Thanks

Hi ZQ &TY
A very big thank you for your trip itinerary for Central Europe. We took your advice and were able to save quite a bit on our trip in May 10. We also loved the recommendations for the food and would like to compliment you for all the time & effort that you have spent taking pictures and writing the blogs. Kudos for a job well-done!

Hi Clara

12 days is a bit tight to fit in everything in the itinerary. You might have to skip some cities e.g. London and Vienna.

Reach London – fly to Prague – spend 2 days
Bus down to Cesky Krumlov – spend 2 days and go back to Prague to catch a night train to Warsaw – spend 1-2 days then train to Krakow – 2 days then go to Budapest – 2-3 days then fly back to London from Budapest.

Btw, the 12 days I mentioned excludes flight times from Singapore to London and back.

Hello guys, it’s amazing how you did it within such tight budget! We are a group of 3 adults + 1 4-year old kid, and we plan to follow your itinerary but we only have 12 days at most. How do you suggest we change the itinerary? What are the places we can skip? Thanks!

It has always,always been my dream to back pack around Europe! I’m amazed that you guys spent only $2.7K inclusive of air accomodation?! That’s the best bargain I’ve ever heard off. I tried to download the itinerary but it wasn’t available =/
