The Former Capitals of Europe Tour
Dec. 13th, 2011 01:48 pmHaving cashed in all of our Alaska Airlines miles, we are now in
posession of tickets for next year's trip to Europe, which I'm
calling the "Former Capitals of Europe Tour." We'll be flying to
Venice (which dominated Europe in the 13th-15th centuries) on April
18, and returning home from Berlin (which dominated Europe in the
20th-21st centuries) on May 19. Our itinerary in between is not
yet set, but we plan to hit Vienna (which dominated Europe in the
15th-19th centuries) and Prague (which was the capital of the Holy
Roman Empire in the 14th century), and will probably also take a
tour
of the Czech Republic.
This is our second visit to Venice and Vienna, my first and Kate's second to Berlin, and our first to Prague. Any recommendations for sites, hotels, restaurants, events, etc. to see (or avoid) would be highly appreciated.
Whee!
