Visiting London-Berlin-Paris in September

[Brandon716]

Hello all,

I don't venture into the European section of the forum very often, but in September I'm doing a Euro-trip. My flight arrives in London for only 24 hours, then I fly to Berlin after a day in London, where I will have 5 days. I'm not spending much time in London since I've been there, so I'm trying to get to know Eastern Europe more. I will be soaking in Berlin for a day or two, then renting a car to hopefully make it to Prague (or some other place, but Dresden-Prague seems practical) before flying from Berlin to Paris, where I will end the trip on the last two days.

Question is, anyone have some recommendations along the way? Since I'm primarily going to Eastern Europe I do have one question, are there any special tolls or other problems for someone who speaks primarily English if I enter the Czech Republic? I think Berlin will be fine, but I don't know about the Czech Republic.

Any advice would be great!

Go to Budapest and Vienna!

If I could, I would. That may be stretching it a bit. Although its tempting...

Berlin is certainly a highlight of this trip for me, I've wanted to visit for many years.

I'd love to go to Berlin. Vienna is on the way, and Budapest is a little further along that trajectory.

I haven't been to any of those places myself, but they come highly recommended.

I know a few ppl who have gone to Czech.. it's very touristy now (esp. Prague) so you shouldn't have any probs at all.

I wouldn't worry about it at all. I myself was planning on going maybe next year.

I hear Vienna is so much more historic/impressive, but Prague is more practical since its so much closer to Berlin where I will be spending time. But I'd love to see Budapest and Vienna and several other cities, it would be great if I had more time!

BTW, I just noticed the Czech Republic isn't on the Euro, do any of you know if they accept other currency for tolls if there are any tolls?
