Hey Everyone,
I'm thinking of taking my LF gear abroad for the first time. I have to go to London for work for about a week in the beginning of January, and I'm planning on extending my stay for about an extra 5 nights. I need some advice on where I should go. These are the things I want:
1. I like to minimize the amount of time I spend travelling, so I'd like to go somewhere where there's enough to do for 5 days. This can include day trips to other places via trains/buses.
2. I'd rather spend more time exploring and doing active things than walking through museums.
3. I want someplace where I can take amazing LF pictures, either of architecture or landscape.
4. Not too expensive. I don't want to spend more than $2500 total. Also, I won't stay in hostels
5. I've already been to Italy, but aside from that everything is open.
6. I want somewhere that's safe and friendly for tourists. I don't want to be hassled taking LF pictures or have to worry about getting mugged (I'm going by myself).
7. I don't want to have to rent a car.
Places I'm thinking of (suggest specific towns/areas if appropriate):
1. Scotland- close to London for work, Edinburgh and Highlands are supposed to be beautiful, might not be great weather that far north in January
2. Switzerland (maybe some towns + Interlochen)- supposed to be beautiful in the mountains, I've heard it's expensive (especially during skiing season), supposed to be safe
3. Prague- very cheap, city/architecture is very old
4. Austria/Vienna- have heard it's beautiful and safe, probably also expensive
5. Chamonix/French Alps- same as Switzerland, also I don't really ski, but I don't mind hiking
6. Lisbon or Croatia or Slovakia- heard it's very cheap
7. Barcelona- great architecture
8. Norway- amazing views, but it's expensive and I might need to rent a car
Thanks for your help!
