I am frustrated at how much taxes, location fees and parking add to the hotel's price. But I wonder if I stay outside city limits if I will end up paying as much on transportation to and from.
Does anyone know clean and safe location with good subway access and decent accommodation? I am suspecting that Uber or Lyft in Boston costs close to taxi p... Read More

Hi Folks - Two questions -
1) With 8 days on the ground - how would you recommend we split our time between the two cities. I am currently thinking 5 days in Vienna + 3 in Prague
2) Are there any can't miss day trips from either city (we don't plan on renting a car - so public transport access would be necessary).
Thanks, Read More

After time in Bordeaux and the Medoc with family this June, I am looking to find a less traveled town to explore - soak up some medieval history, take long walks, read in cafes, relax. Périgueux and Poitiers seem to fit that brief and are easily accessible via train. Is a week or so in each place too much? I will be without a car but will happily t... Read More

Hello, We are US family of 4 (2 teenagers) flying in and out of Zurich late May into June for 2 weeks.

We arrived in Paris at 6AM on Friday, zipped through passport control and were able to check into our apartment at 8AM instead of 4PM, a huge bonus. We had a nice note from the owner and two small boxes of Alain Ducasse chocolates to welcome us which was a nice surprise. We purchased our usual essentials and took a nap. We can't power through, espe... Read More
