Quoted from Europeandestinations.com


Fly into Lisbon, Portugal stay 4 nights
Fly into Madrid, Spain stay 5 nights
Train to Valencia, Spain stay 3 nights
Train to Barcelona, Spain stay 5 nights
Fly to Frankfurt, Germany stay for 4 nights
Train to Berlin, Germany stay for 5 nights
Fly to Copenhagen, Denmark stay for 4 nights
Fly to Dublin, Ireland stay for 4 nights
Fly home......

34 nights total, all hotels, planes, and trains paid for and the price quoted is 6,058.

Wonder if Link will work

Well, from my limited experience, you must be departing US from a major east coast hub and staying in "Super 8" type hotels away from the city centers.

If you are in city centers or in decent hotels or both, that seems pretty good.

May - June, I've never used the site before so looking around on it. The fact it says it covers trains, hotels, and flights makes it seem like a great price to me.

I'm assuming they are based on double occupancy of rooms? 33 nights at $150 is $4950.

Is that flying out of where you are starting from or flying out of say NY and you have to get to NY?

I'm not really sure how those trip deals work. That's a lot of traveling though, are you definitely looking to travel all around like that? ETA: on second look not that much actually. I'd guess something around $500 in train travel for that, your trains should be pretty easy to figure out the cost as they stay about the same all year.

I don't either which is why I am asking, I know that is cheaper than Priceline right now and just looking at flights for the dates selected is 1500 to fly into and out of Europe.

I know the Gibson Hotel in Dublin. It's a bit out of the way but it's nice. I've never stayed there but I'd have no problem from what I've seen and read.

That whole package's pricing seems like a good deal to me.

Pictures on some of the hotels look real nice, just not sure how far away from everything that they are. Some say "located near the city center" but what is near...
