That's a bit vague for us to work on. Europe is still pretty large and the variety between cultures is huge by region.

What do you like? Cities? Nature? Culture? Party? Start with that. Or tell us what you prioritize most.

>>1131479
Beaune and Lutzelbourg, they're pretty comfy and the food is good. The closer you get to Germany the better the network of bike paths is too, you can easily travel most of eastern France by bike without going on major roads.

Why would even want to leave?

>>1131344
From Haneda to Akihabara is just a few minutes driving. By taxi, at 6:30AM (considering you'll be able to leave the airport just 1 hour after the plane landed) it shouldn't take you any longer than 20 minutes. By train it'll take a little longer because there are a reasonable number of stations in between.
The only problem is that most of the commerce in Japan starts working at 10AM, sometimes 11AM. And it seems like Akihabara is not that different.
Considering you should ideally be at the airport at least 2 hours before your flight, and that it will take you longer to get there during lunch time due to traffic, you'll probably want to leave by 11:30AM max (11AM to be safe).
So you'll have to leave just one hour after stores has opened. Don't know if you think it's worth the trouble. I certainly don't think it is.

Now, regarding the possibility of leaving the airport, I'm pretty sure you can do it even with a transit visa, but I'd check with the consulate to be sure because their word probably matters more than that of an anon from /trv/.

>>1131460
Damn. You're right. I didn't factor in the traffic...
Is there any other place closer to the airport that you'd recommend checking out instead? I need to get food, at least, and not from the airport.

Also, which consulate do you mean - Japanese or Australian? Sorry I don't know much about this.

>>1131482
You're better off asking in the Japan general.
If food price is your concern about eating in the airport, remember that you'll spend to leave and return to the airport plus the trouble of having to go out, find a place and return in time.

Also, consult with the consulate of the country you're traveling to. The country's consulate will say what citizens from other nationalities can and cannot do in their country, not the opposite.

How about being on a research vessel off the coast of the Atlantic, around Georges Bank, south of the Bay of Fundy?

Not deserted enough.
You were surrounded by researchers.

You've clearly never been surrounded by researchers.

I don't know Manchester very well but perhaps if you let us know your budget that might be a good start.

Where are you from?

One thing I can say is that "local food" is largely meaningless in the UK. One thing I love is how we have so much variety in different restaurants. Of course, you should go somewhere and have a Full English Breakfast (most places do them all day so it's not an issue if you aren't able to in the morning).

A tour of Old Trafford might be interesting since they're one of the biggest football teams in the world and has a pretty great history. I've been on it and although I'm a Manchester United fan (and as such, biased) it is hugely culturally significant to Manchester.

>>1130089
I am Italian, I've been to England before (London) as a tourist, but never for so long and never on my own. I don'have a set budget yet, I was thinking around 1000 euro, since I already paid for flights and lodgings all I need is a public transport card and living expenses.
Will definitely go see Old Trafford, which is the only thing I know about Manchester.

OK, I hope you enjoy it. Hopefully you'll get some locals respond here. If not, I know people shit on Reddit a lot on 4chan but this subreddit might be useful to you.

I highly, highly recommend you venture outside Manchester and visit the Peak District though. Getting out of the huge city and visiting somewhere like this will do your body and mind a lot of good.

/int/ is a shitposting shilling hellscape. Anything discussed here would be better than there. Besides it's probably more useful to people traveling.

In the same boat. So soft bump for that. Not so much looking for advice on an apartment, but where to live first.

>>1126592
>>1126594

The country and city you both live in is obviously needed to give you any help whatsoever. Someone who lives in Tokyo obviously isn't going to be able to give you advice to find a cheap appartment in Orlando

>>1126598
OP here: Houston.

Any recommendations on a decent hostel in Cologne? Going there during the end of June.

>>1125103
Just do airbnb, probably cheaper. Also OP, add German Rail Pass website to the sticky.

i am asking because i used tinder in my home town (huge german city) and got a handful of matches in a week
i set it to seoul and got around 100 matches a day

but i dont know if thats just only crap or the reality there

I've been living in Australia for a year and definitely want to settle down there at some point.
Beautiful country, awesome people and perfect weather.
The Living costs are rather high as well, but so are the wages so you'll be fine

>>1131449
Western Australia that is.
The East is nice as well, but nothing compares to WA

>>1131450
>>1131449
I've been looking at Australia too, but I've heard a lot of Brits move to NZ as it makes it easier to get into AUS than going for AUS directly, and I also have family in NZ.

I'm reading about the advantages and disadvantages about the UK leaving EU but no one seems to know shit , this is certainly bad news for /trv/ since it will require visa or some bit of work to get there now , this year is interesting.

Serious question: like many of you I travel a lot, but as a poorfag I have more or less sworn off a return to Europe [ :-( ] since '07.

Is now a good time for Americans to visit the UK, or Europe in general?

I'm worried, as someone who is going to Spain twice next month from the UK.

Would I need to start getting a Visa now or would information be published/E-mailed from the airlines about needing one? (Flights are already booked)

Look into the Colours of Ostrvia in Czech Republic looks cool as.

should i bump it?

Get the Romapass beforehand. It'll save you a shitload of time waiting in line.
Ignore any and all hindus/muslims/Africans offering you cheaper tickets/quicker lines/secret spots/roses/touristy bullshit
Do go to Vatican City. St. Peter's Basilica will probably have a huge line (1 hour+ when I was there), but you can cut in pretty easily if you're subtle about it. Check if the Pope will be giving a speech or mass in St. Peter's Square. Really really impressive even if you're not religious.
Trevi Fountain is pretty nice, but really busy.
Roman Forum is nice if you're into history and stuff.
Just walking around the city is pretty nice too. The park around Medici Villa is pretty, but beware of people pestering you with roses and other bullshit. They can be persistent.

>>1130448
Remember to check out Basilica Saint Clemente - it was not crowded when I was there, and you get to experience 2000 years of history in one site.

I just did this a couple of weeks ago.

I had three full days, which i diced up accordingly:

Day 1) 'ancient Rome'. Got into the Colosseum queue at 8, but if you're not an eager beaver or an early riser, i recommend the forum 'hack'. This is when you first buy a ticket and get into the forum (small queues), which is also valid and a queue jump for the Colosseum.

The Colosseum was better than expected. It's friggin huge. The forum was worse than expected. I simply loitered near tour guides to hear info on any ruins that caught my eye.

Later that day I went to Trevi fountain - Without sounding too pretentious, it's beautiful. A really impressive piece of art. I would recommend checking it out during both night and day.

Day 2: The Vatican. It's a cool place. The main cathedral is like the grand canyon. By that I mean it's so big it;s hard to take in all at one time. Buy your ticket online and first head straight to the Vatican museums. Depending on how much you enjoy art will dictate how long you kill in there. But you'll see the Sistine chapel - one of them stand and look for a few minutes moment, nothing more. I would recommend paying to go to the top of the Basilica (6 euros). Don't be a pussy, the lift saves you like 200 steps.

Day 3) Pompeii. For about 40-50 euros, you can get a highspeed train which takes approx: 1:10 to get to Naples, which is about 30 mins on a crappy train from Pompeii. Go. I'm yet to meet someone who says Pompeii wasn't worth their time. It's an incredible place to get lost and just check out and explore. So much high grade history in high grade condition.

Some other notes: It's very touristy, more so than any place i've ever checked out before. Selfie stick merchants and scam artists lurk around every corner trying to sell you cheap tat. It's annoying.

The food is incredible. The only bad meal i had was in Pompeii. The rest is imo really good (and i'm not that into 'good food').

It's a pretty easy city to navigate.(1/2)
