Hello,
My wife and I are making or first trip to Europe. I did my best to try and spread our itinerary out as best we could based on our time frame available. I am in my early 30’s and my wife is in her late 20’s. We are very big into food and wine. We enjoy high end restaurants but also love small hole in the wall restaurants. We truly will try any type of food and anything you put on a plate. My wife is part owner of a wine company here in the states so clearly wine is a passion of ours. The 20th I will be celebrating my 34th birthday as well. The only different thing for us on this trip will be that my wife will be in her 5th month of pregnancy. We still want to experience the culture, party with the locals, etc. I would love if you could help me out a bit and give me some guidance on what we should do in your city in the allotted time frame, where we should eat (places the locals actually eat, not some tourist trap) and how to get around. Are the hotels we are staying at nice? Should I change those? I am going to pre-buy a eurail pass. I am unfamiliar with that though. Will I only need it for the 3 day pass min that I can buy online? Will I need it for your cities metro lines? Or is that just purchased separately? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
