Hey voyagers,
/trv/ is a slow board, so don't expect immediate responses. CHECK THE CATALOG – you might find threads already discussing topics you're interested in.

Before asking for suggestions, tell /trv/ about your:
>Budget
>Interests
>Level of understanding of the local language(s)
This makes it easier to give quality advice. Of course, keep your posts travel related.

For all other matters:
General culture questions >>>/int/
Politics discussion >>>/pol/
Transportation discussion >>>/n/
Outdoors-related discussion >>>/out/

zero reason to go there. You can get the exact same hookers in bangkok and phuket but there's infinitely more shit to do in those 2 apart from banging ladyboys.

Looking for recommendations for day trips outside of Vienna? I'm interested in areas with historical significance, stunning architecture or just quaint villages. Essentially places were I can stroll the entire day with my arms behind my back, enjoying the spring breeze. I already plan on taking a day or two trip to Bratislava. I don't speak a word of German if that means anything

Am Viennese myself, from all the daytrips I do from there, Hainburg is probably my favourite. Reachable by taking the airport line S7 beyond the airport. Go up the three hills (Braunsberg, Schlossberg and Hundsheimer Berg) for good views and a castle ruin. They're actually the westernmost foothills of the Carpathians.

But a lot of places are worthy daytrips, you could walk up the Anninger from Gumpoldskirchen if you care about wine villages. Going to Dürnstein from Krems along the Danube is nice in the warmer months. The castle ruin in Staatz is really cool but a bit out of the way and the village hasn't really anything else to offer. The Seewinkel National Park is fun for biking, if you like plains.
>>
>>2634049
Hainburg seems interesting. Forgot to mention in the OP that i'm fond of hiking too. i'll look into it.

Went to Sanya. I can't remember the name of the travel agency, the clerks at my hotel in Chengdu put me in touch with him, some guy in a Hawaiian shirt with a ponytail. I think the cost was $90, was 15 years ago though so a lot more expensive now I'm sure. The clerks and the travel agent all spoke some English.

I arrive in Bar before going to Kotor, I'd either stay there or in Budva... Had heard Bar was ugly/industrial so had my doubts about it.
Would you recommend Bar over nearby towns? Just looking for a few quiet days by the beach, thanks.
>>
>>2636280
Bro Bro bro fucking bro fuck bro bro. I despise the vernacular of edgy NPCs. Have you ever self reflected on the fact that you’re acting like a karen? i.e. someone who impotently complains for the sake of complaining, deluding themselves into believing they have the authority to change the situation at hand?

MNE will never become a Thailand or Philippines simply due to its small size and rugged terrain. It cannot accommodate a horizontal numbers expansion of tourism and can only expand vertically in terms of cost/luxury. Just 5 years ago, this place was so inexpensive that you would almost think you’re being scammed, like being a sold a Ferrari for the cost of a Toyota. With the increase in popularity nowadays we’re seeing the opposite, where businesses are getting brazen with the prices they’re charging.

>>2636979
I’m a local here but not a native, so the other poster replying to you may have different opinions. But yea, Bar is the commercial port of MNE and I would not recommend staying there if you want to experience the best of the country. That being said, I think the charm of MNE is the fact that each locality truly has its own unique vibe and scenery, and getting to experience all of them in one trip makes you feel like you’ve entered a lot of different realms. To me, there is not a single “ugly” part of the country – even Bar has spectacular mountain and ocean views relative to other countries.

I agree with the poster who said the best possible advice to you is to not come here in peak summer. You’re not going to find “quiet” days at the beach here during that time because the beach is the place to be. But for you I would recommend Petrovac or maybe Bečići. If serenity is your priority, then I would recommend Krašići on the Lustica Peninsula, which is on the water but doesn't have a standard beach.

I was in a restaurant in Bar and the prices were 25e for main dishes!
Here in PG, I just had a pljeskavica for 4e and that was the bus station restaurant that probably has twice the price of elsewhere.

Shit's crazy.

>>2637003
>Bar is the commercial port of MNE and I would not recommend staying there if you want to experience the best of the country
Eh, this is true but the port part is quite separate to the beach that's past the marina. And in town it's not industrial at all until you head out towards the train station.

I think the city centre and beachfront in Bar are quite charming and it has the best weather in Montenegro.

Hey /trv/! I am a 32 year old registered electrician in New Zealand, and looking to take my trade skills abroad. At the moment, I am in the initial stages of planning a working holiday to the United Kingdom, and I hope to base myself predominantly out of Scotland.

In your opinion, what are the best sights to see and things to do in this corner of the UK? I am big on nature photography, and hiking, and checking out old castles etc.

I am most curious about Scotland and Ireland. I could take it or leave it when it comes to England, and I have no interest in Wales. That said, if there's something cool to check out in those parts; then I'll consider anything.

I am viewing this adventure as me testing the waters. If all goes well, then I'll seriously consider a bid for residency; otherwise I'll try my luck in Canada. I am low-key hoping that I'll stumble my way into a relationship and fall madly in-love with a paled skinned, fiery red-headed local with a nice bumper.

Dreams are free, right?

You would wanna just base yourself out of Croxteth in Liverpool. Last I heard the rest of the UK is full.

Anons help! I used to love travelling. the rush of being on the plane. The desire to meet other people and learn a new language all used to be core traits of mine.

Shit I used to get a rush/thrill just planning a trip. Since Covid or so its all gone. I have my wife and family all prodding me to see what i want to do this year for my vacation and the truth is i don't want to go anywhere. this makes me sad. I got sober in 2021 and haven't drank since and i think that has something to do with it. i am 36 years old. I don't want to go anywhere i'd rather just stay here for my three week vacation.

I went to croatia last year (my family is from there) and the experience i can liken to just shrugging my shoulders... "ok". didn't care at all. is the world less adventurous now? i feel like people all around are just glued to their phones now and the sense of joy de vivrey is gone.

fuck is wrong with me? can anyone relate?

This isn't a bad thing, travel is just expensive escapism. In the long run you get nothing out of it but pictures and good memories. You're better off focusing your energies on things like building a family, a career, owning a house. At age 36 that's definitely where your focus should be.

You trapped yourself in a shitty situation surrounded by shitty people. Traveling will not solve that.
You got old and lazy and followed the rails of the easy cookie cutter life.
Now you can do like >>2637006 say, work your career and buy a house so at 65 you can think "oh fuck I should have enjoyed my health and take some risks in my life" like almost everyone I know who realised too late accomplishing the classic milestones didn't make them happy either.

In the end it has nothing to do with travel and maybe you're new here but the people agreeing with you are very recognizable posters who spend their days here saying everything suck because they don't try going outside of Bangkok and Tokyo.

The older I get the more badly I feel for people who get married and have kids. I think it should be a minimum requirement that every man be 40 years old, and have coomed in 500 women, to genuinely be qualified to resign themselves to a family life.

90% of the story appears to be having an OOPS baby or getting pressured into it by a nagging cunt and not having the sense that comes with fucking hundreds of women to stand your ground

It's a good itinerary OP - consider day trips as optional things if you feel like it. One thing I like about both of those cities is that you can really take your time if you want - or rush it if you want - either way you won't run out of options.
