I am a US citizen wanting to travel somewhere in Eurpoe (I had Paris in mind) for like a week. Will I need a Visa? What would be the cheapest and easiest way/place to go? I am getting 10 days break from school and I wanted to meet up with an online friend somewhere in Europe. She is in Saudi Arab so I can't go meet her there but we both can travel to Europe and meet there. But the problem is we both are budhho and don't know anything about this matter. Any info help or advices would be helpful!! Thanks :)
Hmm.. net love :D..
oki here is the advise for you, by having this in mind that this is your first trip to Europe + meeting a girl whom you found online + she is coming from Saudia + both of you are muslim ...errr..etc..etc..etc..
1) If you are US Citizen you don't require Visa for Europe, your passport will be stamped on your arrival for 90 to 120 days - i have no idea about visa requirements for Saudi National's or Pakistani, contact relevant authorities for that .
2) Summer is tend to be busy across the Europe, so expect to slash at least 600-800 $ for round trip
3) I will recommend going to Milan/Rome instead of Paris, Saudi-Air/Etihad/Emirates have direct flights to Milan/Rome, it will be easy for girl and for you too. Because rates to Italy are always cheap compare to Paris.
4) Any idea where you are going to live? Food? Tickets..? .. etc..etc..
5) Just to give you a figure: Air Ticket + Hotel + Food + Hanging Around for 10 days: At least 4000-7000$ ..
