Departure: Bonn, Germany
Destination: Luxembourg
Stops: Maastricht, The Netherlands and Liège, Belgium
Impressive how in only 3 days we can easily reach 4 countries and explore border cities.
Germany has borders with 9 countries.
In
about 1 hour you are in Maastricht in The Netherlands, from there only
30 minutes more and you are in Liège, Belgium and continuing to
Luxembourg city is less than 2 hours.

Doing this you soon understand why some countries are safe away from the European crisis.
Portugal is kind of stuck between Spain and the Atlantic Ocean.
Besides
having huge potential with beautiful locations, food and people full of
talent, it's clear that being at the far west side of Europe has it's
problems.
Exportation of goods, exchange with other countries and
cultures and good land transportation for all this to be more efficient
has made Portuguese and it's culture pay the price.
Of course you
are able to fly from the Portuguese capital to some places at cheap
rates... but the ease of being in the centre of Europe and taking the
van to just wonder between countries is not a reality for people in
Lisbon.
I remember my road trips to anywhere else but Spain or France... you have always to cross this 2 giant countries!
Being in Bonn has this huge advantage, just take the van and change countries!

Germany has borders with 9 countries.
Starting in the north and moving clockwise we have: Denmark;
Poland; Czech Republic; Austria; Switzerland; France; Luxembourg;
Belgium; The Netherlands.
Bonn is part of the North Rhine-Westphalia, therefore very close to the last 4 countries.
