We had a delightful trip to Italy in October 2023 and am finally writing this report!
After a wonderful trip to Ireland in 2022, we were eager to plan our next adventure. However, our son was about to propose to his girlfriend and we had to wait on their date selection to move forward with our plans. Our ideal time would have been the last 2 wee... Read More

In early May I will be attending a week-end family event in Tacoma. Many years ago we visited other locales in the area but didn't make it to Seattle or Tacoma, so Seattle is brand new to me.
I am contemplating adding a night or two in Seattle either before or after the Tacoma week-end. But, frankly, nothing about Seattle is truly jumping out a... Read More

Hi everyone! My son (age 11) and I visited the Mosel / Rhine region of Germany last week during my son's April vacation break. I have previously visited this area 21 years ago (!) in 2003 with my mom. We had a very hurried itinerary back then (I was young and didn't know better... and my poor mom who had to keep up with me). This time, our itinerar... Read More

We are both in our 70’s. This will be our only trip to northern Italy, so we want to visit all the places that intere... Read More

Bonjour à tous,
i have been looking into international shipping options from Paris to New York and am a bit overwhelmed. I’m betting that any number of Fodorites have experience with this, so I’m hoping for some advice.
i need to ship about fifteen or twenty tins of tea altogether, too much for me to lug around, esp since Paris is just the fi... Read More

I've been reading about protests happening in different parts of Spain regarding overtourism. We have a trip planned next month and I would like to get some feedback from locals or recent visitors on what's happening and if there is anything we should or shouldn't do while there that will not ruffle any feathers.

Hello Fodorites! My daughter and I will be leaving Lisbon and flying into Venice in July for 2 nights. Is there a nearby town that is a good point for a day trip into Venice. The lodging there in Venice is so pricey that maybe there is a reasonably close area and take public transportation into Venice? Read More

We'll be in Paris for 5 days in late May. What are the best resources on restaurants? I don't necessarily need to eat in Michelin starred restaurants, but with only 5 days, I'd like to make some reservations at good mid-priced restaurants. Some days, we might eat our big meal at lunch. Online guides? Books I should buy?
Thanks so much for y... Read More

I spent twelve days in Japan (March 28-April 8) after disembarking from a cruise ship in Tokyo. Since Fodorites are always helpful with pre-trip questions, I like to provide a trip report in case it sparks someone else’s interest! I’ll cover logistics first and then summarize what I did and sights I saw.

We are only going to be in Milan for one full day (two nights), and we'd like to see the Last Supper. Looks like tickets are released on a quarterly basis - so right now they're not available for our date in early September. Anyone know when the tickets go on sale for each quarter? I can't seem to find that information on the museum website.

Please give ideas about how we can tour both around 100 min each.
