Question

Also, any suggestions about travel (places to stay, inter transit within the countries, etc. ) is welcome!

Thanks!

Answer 1

i suggest u to travel to iran because:

Iran has four seasons at the same time while it is cold in the north of country like Ardebil and Tabriz, in the south the weather is spring-like in Bandarabbass and Bushehr. Iran's climate is mostly arid or semiarid, to subtropical along the Caspian coast and the northern forests. It has many forests in the north and many deserts in the east of country like Dasht-e-kavir and kavir-e-lout. any sightseeing and historical places which you can see in our tour packages. follow us to reveal Persia to you...

Answer 2

Depends on how much you like the heat. It gets very hot indeed in July and August, and during August, Italy just closes down.  

Answer 3

April, May, September, or October are generally the best.

Spring and fall have the best weather in most places.  Summers can get very hot in most of France and Italy, and winters do get cold in most of France and Italy except for France's Mediterranean coast and in Italy roughly from Naples southward.

The Alps and Riviera are best visited in the summer.

From November through March is much cheaper, there are far fewer tourists (except Christmas week in Rome or Carnival in Venice), and there are a lot of discounts on hotels - it might be worth considering to visit in November or March if you are on a budget.  December through February are only worth going if you stick to the far south of either country or if you are going to the Alps for winter sports.

Summer is the most expensive and most crowded - Venice, Florence, and the tourist areas of Paris and Rome can be absolutely packed.

To get around Italy, don't get a railpass - Italian trains are very cheap anyway.  French trains can be expensive, so if you are taking more than 1-2 trips you would probably want a French railpass.

Answer 4

Summer is the best time. I just got back from France and Italy 4 weeks ago. It's beautiful!

In Rome. Best hotel is hotel Diana. Food is great, service is excelent and it's very close to termini station which is a bus and train terminal going all over the city and other cities

France: I stayed at the hotel roblin in Paris which is nice. The breakfast is good and service is great. Everyone is always willing to help and they keep it hygenic.

If your going to Lourdes in France DO NOT STAY AT THE ASTORIA VATICAN. I stayed there and got robbed. $1500 cash and iPods, cell phones. The manager was very rude and wasn't co-operative. Food is terrible, problems with lights and beds are dirty.

Both hotels I listed in 1 and 2 are 4/5 stars and are wonderful. Have fun and good luck:)
