Three Weeks March 2011

[bsimpson244]

Hi Everyone,
I'm in the beginning stages of planning a trip to Europe with three of my friends from college. Two of us will be traveling from the United States to Europe and the third is currently in So. Korea teaching English and will depart from there.

All we have established so far is that we will meet in Frankfurt, Germany and stay there for a couple days. From there we have no idea? We definitely plan on spending a few days in Amsterdam and would like to spend some time in Spain as well. I would like to get some suggestions from you all as places to stop...

Here's a little about us:

Big motorsport enthusiasts (NOT NASCAR)...I have a small obsession with open wheel racing (all racing for that matter) and would love to catch some action while over there if anyone knows of anything going on.

We're 25 and Male....so obviously we're looking for places to enjoy ourselves as well as places where beautiful women enjoy themselves. ;D

We're drinking enthusiasts as well... and by that I don't mean we drink swill just because it gives us a buzz...we're all self-proclaimed beer experts.

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

You could visit the Lamborghini factory and museum. But research in advance:

I think some German car factories have tours too.

Germany will allow lots of opportunities for beer connoisseurship. Also consider the Czech Republic, and of course Belgium.

Are you interested in Formula 1? I have no knowledge of their schedules, but worth considering perhaps.

You`d be sure to meet women at clubs. Be sure to have spiffy clothes and shoes to meet their dress codes, plus these places tend to cost a fair bit. I`m sure there are cheaper options too.

Well Formula 1 would still be in Asia, if they adopt roughly the same agenda as this year. But you could probably make it to the Easter Races at Zandvoort Circuit, near Amsterdam. (when it will be Easter in 2011?)

Beer experts needs to go to Belgium. I am sure it would be possible to get a tour in one of the factories, of some of these special beers. Or a tour at the factories of Bitburger (in Bitburg) or Warsteiner (in Warstein) in Germany, also not that far from the Dutch/Belgian border.

I am no expert in motors but if you're looking for party scenes in those countries, I would try the following cities: Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, and Amsterdam. You may want to fit in Rome and Florence in there as well if you have time. You should check out this entertainment guide by Party Earth. I found it very helpful as they provide reviews for the hottest social venues in those cities with suggestions for people of different personality types. You will definitely be able to find something that you enjoy. Check it out!
