I will be ending my 2+ week trip in Brussels and have a 1.5 day and 2 night stay there in the middle of June. I've been doing some reading on the city but still can't figure out where I should stay because I am having a difficult time getting a handle on the city.

I want to book AA oneworld award tickets soon, so I would like at least a vague itinerary in place now. The best routing seems to be into Dubrovnik, and out of Zagreb.

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.

Would prefer to stay in only 2 or 3 places for overnights, however, not a different place every night. We expect we'll rent a car, so won't be limited to o... Read More

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

I had rough plans for other destinations for this trip, but we went with LHR due to a much lower airfare, so... Read More
