Hi, this question may be a bit complicated but heregoes:

I really wanted to visit London this summer but my parents really want to go to Germany. But my dad thought it was appropriate to travel by train from germany to places like italy and london. I don't think this would work out because it would cost too much money.

Is there any place in Germany where i can travel to bordering countries (not necessarily the countries above) without having to pay like 200 euros each train trip? What would you recommend to a family that wants to visit a good amount of european countries in about 2 weeks (ignoring hotels and such).

Any help would be great, thanks!

Answer on European Travel Suggestions?

Your father's idea is indeed a crackpot one. It is like basing yourself in SanFran bc you want to visit Canada, Las Vegas and Mexico including Cancun all in 2 weeks.

As a general rule you need at least 2 weeks per country if you want to visit Europe. For larger countries like France, Spain, Italy and Germany it is better to plan on spending 3 weeks. Big capitals like Rome, Paris, Berlin need about 5 days to see properly.

You might be able to cover 2 countries partially in 2 weeks, but not much more. Your parents might want to take a look at this table: http://www.ricksteves.com/rail08/itinpla…

For a family it is usually best to rent a campervan or a car and travel around this way. Arrange car rental through a travel agent when you book your flight tickets, it is cheaper. Train is too expensive for a family unless you use special offers.

When you want to cover large distances, budget flights are the best option. There are some good deals in summer for west-east routes and vice versa (Berlin to London). North-south however is usually booked solid and has high ticket prices. See http://www.skyscanner.net
