If we are in Hamburg is there a recommended way to travel to Prague? Nothing here to see! | |||

If I'm reading the Bahn.com site correctly, there is a train from Hamburg to Prague via Berlin. Looks like there are no connections so once you're on the train you're good til you get to Prague. It take 6.5 hours. That is from Hauptbahnhof to Hauptbahnhof, main train station to main train station. Or you could fly direct from Hamburg to Prague. It's an hour flight. I'd probably fly unless you want to experience the train system. | |||

Thanks for the info, I think we are leaning towards getting a euro pass and a couple of days after the marathon we can hit Berlin, then Prague and possibly one other spot. I have been researching the train option along with the euro pass. For my wife and I it sounds pretty fun. I know a couple/few days in Prague probably won't be enough but you have to draw the line somewhere. Shawn Nothing here to see! | |||

I think I would just book my tickets through the bahn.com site if you have hard dates of travel. I'm not sure how much the europass costs, but I bought 2 1st class tickets one way from Berlin to Hamburg and they only cost us 58 euros total. | |||

Back in 2005 I picked up a 2 week EuroRail pass and hit as many places as possible. We started in Munich, worked our way up through Belgium, Netherlands, and back into Germany (Hamburg) before heading North into Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Prague was a must-see, so we flew from Oslo to Prague and then a train from Prague to Munich. We had a few places we wanted to go, but we largely just winged it. Have fun! | |||

When you get to Germany, there is one thing you ABSOLUTELY must eat there at least once; a Doner Kebab!  Similar to the Greek Gyro or Middle Eastern Shawarma, this is a Turkish specialty that is one of the very best things you'll eat in Germany, trust me! The shops are all over the place too, in my small town I was stationed in via the Army there were 3-4 of them. | |||

So we are here. We have hit downtown Hamburg and the Elbe river so far. A bunch of cool places and a history lesson too. Pics when I get back in the Pic section. Shawn Nothing here to see! | |||

If you're a Beatles fan, I believe there's a museum in Hamburg that deals with their early days. And if you have time while in Frankfurt, do the Frankfurt On Foot tour, only about 10-15 dollars and very well done. And definitely get a doner! There's so many small cities to see, Prague is supposedly great, never made it there while I lived in Germany though. Have fun! Hell, is other people! J-P S | |||

My German is really rusty but did that woman at the end basically say "If you piss on St Pauli, we will piss right back on you"?  | |||

I am flying into Amsterdam first weekend of May. Renting a car and driving to Hamburg, then down to Cologne and then back to Amsterdam. It's a business trip with clients in tow but I am looking forward to the freedom of having our own car, making side trips as desired and staying off public transit. ______________________________ “I'd like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.” ― John Wayne | |||

Laboe is just North of Kiel (very short bus ride). U-997; they only Type VII U-boat on display. It is magnificent. Also, Bremerhaven has a maritime museum with, among other things, a Type XXI U-boat. She was raised and modernized in the 1950s, so she doesn't look much like she did in WWII, but she's the only Type XXI on display anywhere. Sinsheim and Speyer have OUTSTANDING 'Technical Museums.' Basically, anything that has gears or wheels is on display. Sinsheim has, IIRC, a Concord AND a TU-144 (Concordski), while Speyer has a Soviet Buran shuttle. I haven't been there since 1994, and they were amazing back then. I would die from joy if I got to go back now. . . I didn't see Rothenburg anywhere in the thread so far. It's the only really 'intact' walled city in Europe (?). Basically, it was a poor city for hundreds of years, which prevented them from 'modernizing.' Now, it's a picture-book village. Really worth the trip. Munich is pretty nice, too. The Deutches Museum (sp?) is like their version of the Smithsonian. LOTS of rare military artifacts there (including a Do-335 aircraft that I would LOVE to see in person). Berlin is nice, but I haven't been there since the 90s. I used to prefer the Eastern side. The west side was a 'showcase' for democracy, so they had lots of (ugly!) modern art and architecture. The East side was, of course, commie, so their architecture was a lot older, along the Soviet style, and much more interesting to me.
+ INFINITY I LOVE DONERs. The best one I ever had was in Laboe; but that was 23 years ago so I don't know if the place would even be there. . . I lived off those things when I would go train-hopping around Europe. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||
