A few day in St. Petersburg.
Is it feasible to do a Ukrainian/Poland/etc kevorim  tour for the next few days?


If not, what would pair nicely with St. Petersburg?

St. Petersburg is way way way north of anything in Ukraine or Poland. So unless your flying to Kiev its a 15+ hour drive. Take the  ferry to Helsinki and do other Scandanavian countries by ferry.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Doing a 5 day stopover before going to Israel this summer. Narrowed down to Barcelona or Monaco/Nice. Any thoughts on which way to lean? Would be staying at W in Barcelona or Le Meridian in Monaco. Cant seem to decide which place to visit.
Going with my wife and a 1 year old. Any thoughts would be great

Just remember that Mediterranean countries are hot in the summer.

I wouldn’t recommend Petra for a overnight stay.
Why is that?
From what i understood seeing Petra at night is a totally different experience.

5 days is a lot for Barcelona imo. 2-3 days max.

I am going with my family from ORD-ZRH-TLV-ZRH in the summer and I am thinking of doing a stopover somewhere else in Europe before returning back to ORD. Where in Europe is it most recommended to go with 4 kids ages 11,9,7,4?

Would it make sense to fly from ORD-ZRH ZRH-CDG AMS-ORD and take a train from CDG-LHR-AMS?
