RonnieSmfc Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Anyone know of anywhere doing day trips etc for Scotland matches I know this will probably be expensive but would pay the extra to avoid the stress. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I might have used this lot if I'd known about them before booking. https://spiritjourneys.wetravel.com/trips/scotland-euro-2024-trip-spirit-journeys-worldwide-munich-16863700 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I don't think you'll get day trips as with a few exceptions there's tight regulation on flights leaving too late from most German airports (they've had to make exemptions to the law for national teams to fly back to their base after games). That's why even Wonky Sheep who tend to fly after games a lot of the time have their Stuttgart flight home the day after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about £1600 for flights, hotels, trains and tickets for 11 nights for the group games! £1,300 for 2 night trip to Stuttgart, from Edinburgh including a hotel "within 10km of city centre". I literally booked my own two weeks ago after getting 2 tickets in the last sale. Two of us from Edinburgh for the same two nights staying in a hotel 1.6km from the stadium £1,200 in total (so £600 each). Granted my flights are to Karlsruhe, not Stuttgart so I'll need to for out another £50 or so each way for train tickets. Still half the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 For anyone thinking of purchasing the Deutschland Ticket (aka €49 ticket), it was dead easy though the MVV app. This is the app for the Munich Transport area and the purchase process was all in English. The ticket has been documented on here already but, as a recap, it allows for unlimited local and regional transport for a month, in our case June (although we can all dream about July too ). It is a subscription so you must remember to cancel before the 10th of June or else it will auto-renew for another €49. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a link for something similar in Dusseldorf /Köln area as that’s where we’re based Not bothering going to Munich as we only arrive on the 13th but heading to Köln and Stuttgart on matchdays 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar_Army Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Arriving in Stuttgart the night of 13th but getting the flixbus to Munich the next morning. So if any of you are tempted to go, check it out. I am not taking the return journey though. We are heading to Zurich the day after Germany to watch their game against Hungary then back to Stuutgart a day later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkoRaj Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Just got an email to say my Cologne apartment booking was cancelled for no reason Might end up having to just patch it, everywhere is so much more expensive than it was before 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short term letting is the wild west despite allegedly being regulated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar_Army Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 We are based in a hotel in Stuttgart but got Airbnb in Munich, Zurich and Cologne as part of our trip. Been half expecting for hotel or flight changes and Airbnb issues but so far all is well. I have told my mate to open a dialogue with hotel to see if we can get perks like upgrade, cheaper breakfasts and free shuttle buses. I have had an open dialogue from day one with our Aibnbs. Told them it was two hairy arsed Scotsmen coming for football before we booked and all 3 were OK with it. Kept dialogue open regards what we are doing when we arrive and depart. So far all 3 have been good in responding, so fingers crossed. But you are right. Hearing lots of stories about fans being ripped off late in the day. Got me wondering is it just us or are all the nations finding the same issues? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Arab Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 If anyone is looking for accommodation in Stuttgart we have a spare hotel room (double room) which we are looking to offload. Check-in Saturday 22 June and check-out Monday 24 June. £285 total. It is 10km north of Stuttgart, 40 mins to get into the city using public transport or 20mins in a taxi. PM me if you are interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Apologies if asked and answered elsewhere. Our train tickets from Munich to Stuttgart are 29.90 each way, so that part is sorted. With regard to the free travel in/around Stuttgart on the day of the game- do you still need to go and ask for an s-bahn or u-bahn ticket at the station and show your match ticket to get it free, or is there some other process? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get your pass on the Euro 2024 app. Should be on there the beginning of next month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) If people are willing to travel a little bit my friend and I are basing ourselves in Augsburg. There was still some pretty cheap accommodation last time I looked. It’s easy to get to both Munich and Stuttgart from there. Cologne is longer but we got the train booked for €59 each using the fan tickets, so it’s not too bad. As long as you don’t fall asleep on the train and miss the connection.

I'm going to two games in Munich (a few days after the Scotland game) and have managed to get 5 nights at an Ibis in Augsburg for less than £400. That was a good £200 less than far shabbier looking accomodation in Munich for the same days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSJ.84 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 We’re also in Augsburg for the first four days. Looks a nice place. Selfishly booked there as it’s always nice to visit new places, and I’ve already been to Munich. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
