    More on my Via Francigena

    I have been planning to do the Via Francigena (VF) but very concerned about the accommodations situation due to my physical limitations. Buen Camino.

    More on my Via Francigena

    ...being away a total of 7 months, then Christmas I’d ask that you give me a couple more weeks to post a summary of my stages, accommodations, daily distances and rough costs. I’m sure that will answer most questions. I can’t advise on how to address the Schengen 90 day rule. Thanks for your...

    Amazing Via Francigena

    My wife and I walked from GSBP to Rome in 2019 (we were in our mid 60s at the time) and having done so, we too wish to convey our admiration of your effort Collette. We endorse your sentiments about the VF - it is a wonderful journey through stunning landscapes, beautiful small villages and...

    Amazing Via Francigena

    And WELL DONE to you too! Amazing! In awe of both of you! So inspired! Now if only I could solve the 90 day Schengen issue without having to do some massive stages!

    Amazing Via Francigena

    Congratulations and well done! I really wanted to walk the Via Francigena several years ago, before Brexit (I have dual UK / SA nationality), but after much research I had to give up the idea, as I could not afford the accommodation across France and Switzerland. So glad you were able to find...

    Silly Question but here goes - timing and crowds

    There is no new visa required. Perhaps you are referring to ETIAS which is not in effect yet and is unlikely to go into effect until sometime much later this year? There's a current thread about it, and this post details the timeline. Post in thread 'ETIAS - when does it start?'...

    Silly Question but here goes - timing and crowds

    So how is it coming along ? Do you have your new visa that the Schengen countries. Need ? Have you started breaking those walking shoes in yet and invested a small fortune in bandaids and foot care ? You received a lot of wonderful feedback but for first time Camino walker. My advice would be...

    Amazing Via Francigena

    Congratulations and Thank You! Your post brought back so many wonderful memories! I finished the VF after four stage starting in 2018 and ending in 2023, the covid pandemic interrupted but never ended my desire to finish. My daughter walked a segment in France with me and my son pulled me over...

    Amazing Via Francigena

    I also walked the VF and share all your observations. It took me four separate sections over 5 years, interrrupted by the covid pandemic but I finished. I'm in awe of your success at completing it in one go. Congratulations! You re-ignited many fond memories.

    Amazing Via Francigena

    I don’t know you but I’m impressed! There was a thread just before Christmas about “older” Pilgrims/walkers and that age was a concern/fear. They need to read your post. Well done!

    Amazing Via Francigena

    ...at St. Peter’s Basilica. I walked 102 days and took 8 rest days. I have dual citizenship so was very fortunately not restrained by the 90 Schengen visa rule. My total distance of actual daily “on route” walking was 2315 km vs the guidebook 2100km, which is consistent or a bit less than other...

    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    It doesn't matter what passport you hold, if you take an intra Schengen flight, there is no immigration or customs.

    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    Assuming they are flying from Poland, or more precisely, within Schengen.

    2 hours from Madrid Barajas Airport to Madrid Chamartin is enough?

    If s/he is a Polish citizen as a member of a Schengen, EU country, s/he won’t have to worry about customs and passport control.

    Spain visa itinerary ???

    To avoid confusion, "primary destination" means the country you'll spend the most time in, not the first one you arrive in.
