Staying in Frankfurt for the WC, I'm looking to take two side trips to Paris and Vatican City.

I know there is a thread somewhere here about very cheap airfare traveling from one country to another while in Germany but I can't find it.

If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated.

I'll keep looking and hopefully I can find it.

Thanks to all.


And on a side note, anyone know how long a trip to either city via plane would take?

Paris is only a 5 hour train ride...probably not even worth flying unless you definitely just want to do it as a day trip.

I think its called Raynair or something very close to that is the website for cheap airfare for inter europe travel. We are also going to go to italy for a few days after the second game.

This article is a bit dated (some of the airlines he mentions might no longer exist) but it's full of good info.

You're probably thinking of Ryan Air. Very cheap, no frills European airline.

My group is going to Prague and Amsterdam from Berlin. The Amsterdam train ride is long, 11 hours, but if you have a Germany-only pass you can just train it to the border, or Dusseldorf, and take a short one across.

Or just use the Germany-Benelux pass.

http://www.flybudget.com/ This is a great website listing virtually all of the lowcost airlines and where they fly. Ryanair and Easyjet are probably the best known in Europe and have the most cities. Ryanair usually does not use the most convenient airports but their prices are hard to beat.

You could also try www.raileurope.com if youre interested in traveling by train.

Awesome, thanks guys!

I found the links I was looking for finally after I read your replies.
Boy, I must have read that thread at least 10 times and not paid attention.

Anyone else thinking about about taking any side trips?

Copenhagen...not far from Hamburg by train and a fantastic city to visit. I'd also like to go to Prague.
