Looking for suggestions- We are in the planning phase of some longer-term stays in Europe, and are thinking of getting a furnished apt for a month somewhere (to save $$$), in order to REALLY get to know a place, and then taking day trips out from there. In general, we prefer smaller rather than larger towns- but of course, not so small that you see everything there is to see in three days. Good train connections are a must, as we normally use only public transportation (We rented a car once in Italy, and it was an absolute nightmare... we avoid car transport whenever we can). Places we are considering are S. France (we loved our 5 days in Arles), S. Germany (we have friends in Hamm that we'd love to see again), N. Italy (been 3 times, but haven't explored the north much), and Portugal (just got back from Lisbon, Coimbra, and a day trip to Porto, and the affordability is a huge plus), and maybe Ireland or the Netherlands
Are there any great towns that we should consider? This trip is probably 2-3 years down the road, but it's never too early to plan... thanks!
