GuyIncognito Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Booked for Stuttgart and Munich right after the draw. Had already booked Essen. Just flights and tickets (hopefully) to sort out now. My original plan of getting the boat over looks less likely now due to Munich being so far from the Netherlands. Thinking now of doing Glasgow - London - Paris/Brussels then on to Munich on the train or flying to Austria or Switzerland and going from there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Glasgow to Stuttgart flights and then a two hour or so train journey to Munich for the opening game booked. It was £130 cheaper than flying directly to Munich and as the flight is 6am, we'll be in Munich by mid afternoon. Hotel also booked. Cannot wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd_is_God Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Flights booked to London to get the (long) train across. Staying in Augsburg, Haan and Stuttgart. (Long) train back across. Flight back from London. Excluding the trains (which aren't bookable yet) had some discount codes meaning all of the above came to £296 each. Buzzing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrunitedfw Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 What are peoples plans for the Scotland games? I know I have no chance of getting tickets so will probably travel to Munich and Cologne from Frankfurt where we’re based on day of game and watch it in Fanzone then travel back after game/next morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurostar tickets can be booked 330 days in advance, however into/from the Netherlands and Germany only 120 days in advance. From the brief look i have had there doesn't look like being much difference in price between London - Paris/Brussels and London - Netherlands / Germany so might be cheaper to wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try and get to Munich and watch the game in a fan zone but getting back to Frankfurt might be an issue. Will definitely go to Cologne for the Swiss game because it's so close to Switzerland there is bound to be a great atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I'm on holiday in Greece at the moment and went a bit mental on the ouzo waiting for the fixtures to come out, hopefully I changed the flights and booked hotels ok but I'm not too sure. I could be stuck in some village north of Munich for the first game, and needing to hire a horse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I found a load of places on the usual booking sites were a fair bit cheaper when going direct. Managed to get a Motel One in Munich for the Thursday and Friday a lot cheaper than I was being quoted just after the draw. Land in Berlin Thursday afternoon so just going to jump on the train straight to Munich instead of waiting until the Friday and losing part of the day of the game. Stuttgart the night of the Hungary game seems fairly reasonable too for hotels outside the city centre. Seems easy enough to get to the centre on the S-Bahn from a load of them too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Direct trains at decent times on day of game to get there (5hrs roughly) but getting back to Dusseldorf requires essentially an overnight job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned on staying north of Dortmund but that idea has been sacked. Being in Munich for the opening game is a no-brainer (despite the cost), so staying there a couple of days and still considering where to go afterwards. Might go to somewhere like Mannheim to keep costs down after spunking the cash in Bavaria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Paisley->Gatwick->Munich on the 13th, Cologne-Stansted-Paisley on the 20th. £418 Dear but worth it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Had a look at the Deutsche Bahn ticket offer for the Euros and journeys have to be completed by 10am the day after the match, not much use if you're stopping over after a 9pm kick off. They haven't said how much they're discounting Interrail passes by yet, but I think I'll be going for that. Had a quick look at internal flights and they're horrendously expensive, from Berlin anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Malkmus Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The Karlsruher/Baden Baden airport near Stuttgart might be a good option for getting to Stuttgart to/from Stansted. It's a bit cheaper than others still 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar_Army Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Edinburgh - Amsterdam -Stuttgart 13-25 June. Stuttgart Hotel for 2 weeks but will be travelling by train around days of the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
