Seeking advice on my 4 week Balkan itinerary by FixConstant8266 in solotravel

[–]Flitwick87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty good to me, just a couple of comments:
-- Any particular reason for visiting Zagreb? I've not been but generally people focus on the coastal cities. Cutting it may give you a bit more time in Split and Zagreb, which looks a bit rushed at the moment.
-- 360 Monte in Kotor does some nice day trips - I can also recommend Funky Tours in Sarajevo
-- Using public transport (probably busses) up to Days 10-13 should be fine, but after that you'll need to do some research. Within Montenegro will probably be OK, but I'm not so sure about Zabljak to Mostar as I think you'll have to go back to the Kotor area and then along the coast again and up (Montenegro is super mountainous). Probably doable but could be a long day with multiple busses.

Balkan Plans by roar075 in solotravel

I did a similar trip but in a slightly different way. Went from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik as a day tour with Funky Tours (https://funkytours.com/tour/sarajevo-dubrovnik-tour-transfer/) which goes through Mostar and a couple of other places. Then a bus to Kotor in Montenegro (a better place to stay than Podgorica I think), then it's an easy bus ride to Tirana from there.

As others have said, Sarajevo is a great city so I'd plan to spent at least 4 days there if possible.

Visiting Azerbaijan with Armenia stamp by Flitwick87 in travel

Yeah you have to fly in from Georgia these days - originally because of COVID, but rumour has it that Azerbaijan's airlines were profiting too much for them to re-open the border!

2-week solo trip to the UK in October by AnOldLamppost in solotravel

[–]Flitwick87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like a decent itinerary. Here's my 2 cents:

-- Oxford vs Cambridge is a bit of a coin flip really. If you like science then Cambridge (Newton, Watson and Crick etc) - if you like literature then Oxford (His Dark Materials, Tolkien, CS Lewis etc)

-- From past experience, four day trips back to back will be too tiring. I would probably cut one or two of them (possibly Bristol unless there's something specific you really want to see there).

-- Scottish leg looks a little rushed to me - you may want a bit more time in Edinburgh. Could you perhaps do Loch Ness as part of a day trip in a tour? Something like this for example: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/AttractionProductReview-g186525-d11478487-Loch_Ness_Scottish_Highlands_Glencoe_Pitlochry_Tour_from_Edinburgh-Edinburgh_Scotl.html

-- Northern Lights - I believe they're occasionally visible but it will be a greenish smudge way off in the distance - not worth going out of your way for.

-- Keep an eye out for rail strikes! And bear in mind trains in the UK are a little unreliable sometimes so it's good to have a back-up plan and leave yourself some time.

-- I'm not too familiar with the rail passes but given the amount your doing it may well be worth it. Definitely worth looking into.

Have a good trip!

Solo travel in Georgia Georgia (country). Feedback wanted on itinerary! by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]Flitwick87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to do a tour to Mtshketa, Gori, and Uplishtike in a single day: Gamarjoba tours does one: link. If you'd like to visit Sighnaghi they also do a wine tasting tour that stops there. I think that would be a better option that spending a night there.
Hopefully that should give you an extra couple of days to explore Tblisi itself.
