Last summer, we spent about 2 weeks in Western Europe. More specifically Germany, Austria, Northern Italy, and France with a pass through Monaco. This was our first European trip after the pandemic, so we were really looking forward to it!
On this post, I will cover the itinerary for the whole trip, and then the following posts will be the usual details and stories from each place. We flew in from Jakarta to Frankfurt and flew out from Paris. Why? Well it was simply because those are the only available promo fares for Europe at that time hahaha.
For Schengen visa, I applied via German Embassy, represented by the VFS in Kuningan City. Note that the German embassy will only accept your application if you are staying there the longest, or if itās one of the longest and you land there first if that makes sense. It means that even if you enter the EU area via Germany, if you donāt stay there the longest they wonāt accept your application. The visa processing took about 3 weeks, but the appointment time is scarce. So make sure you give yourself enough time to apply for a visa if you need one.
Now letās move on to the itinerary:
