Our Summer Travel Plans {European Summer Itinerary}

European Summer Itinerary

We have HUGE plans for the summer.  My family of 4 will be traveling Europe visiting a total of 8 countries in 11 weeks.  We tried to plan our trip, so we could somewhat leisurely enjoy the destinations.

Each of the 12 cities listed will be our home base for the trip, but there are so many cities and villages that are just a short ride away that we will get to experience many more areas.

Most of our journey will be by train with one road trip to see a bit of the countryside.  If you’re not used to traveling by train, the train systems in Europe are extensive and are a convenient and relatively inexpensive way to travel.

I’ve listed the dates we will be in each city.  If anyone is planning to be in the same area, send us an email and maybe we can meet for a coffee.

Annecy, France 5/31 – 6/10
Chântel, France 6/10 – 6/17 (spending time in Switzerland too)
Strasbourg, France 6/17 – 6/27
Luxembourg City, Luxembourg 6/27 – 6/29
Bruges, Belgium 6/29 – 7/6
Amsterdam, Netherlands 7/6 – 7/11
Cologne, Germany 7/11 – 7/18
Heidelberg, Germany 7/18 – 7/25
Munich, Germany 7/25 – 7/31
Innsbruck, Austria 7/31 – 8/2
Verona, Italy 8/2 – 8/8
Venice, Italy 8/8 – 8/15
Nice, France 8/15 – …..

Where are you traveling this summer?

Hi, I’m Dana. Planning a great trip shouldn't mean spending endless evenings scrolling travel forums, watching videos, and sorting through conflicting opinions online.
