Holiday Inn/PC/IC - 150,000 points
SPG - 41,000

I am going to:
Berlin - 6 nights
Munich - 2 nights
Venice - 2 nights
Zurich - 3 nights
Bath - 2 nights
London - 5 nights

I was thinking of doing the SPG 4 rewards = 5 nights in Berlin since I will be there - that will cost 28,000 points.

Also - if you have any thoughts on my itin. please let me know - some have said I should remove either venice or zurich and stay more days in that city.

Thanks much!

Hi,

Sounds like a fair bit of travelling within Europe. ( Are you flying between the cities or taking the train?)

If this is your first time in Europe , I would probably reomve either zurich or venice ( and probably drop zurich unless there was a special reason to go there) and Venice would probably have lot of sights to visit.

Also unless there is a special reason to visit Bath I might spend the extra day in London or elsewhere in Europe and vist Bath on a day trip from London.

6 nights in Berlin would be enough to vist a lot of the main sights and museums ( Schloss Charlottenburg and Schloss Sansouci in Potsdam and the museums)

Regards
