    Me.

    5 nights in Frankfurt arriving for the opening day on the 14th.

    Applied for tickets in various cities and will travel to wherever Scotland opening game is regardless. Group of 4 of us travelling together and an informal group of 20 planning to meet up across there. We booked our flights with Lufthansa, Edinburgh to Frankfurt, a few weeks back and a hotel even longer ago. Looking at the prices today I'm glad we took the risk.

    Can't wait.

    Not Germany for me as I'll be in Cambodia and Vietnam during the Euros. If anyone else will be in the general area and wants to meet to watch a game give me a shout

    That’s a terrific alternative to being there. Great countries and be some quality wee spots for taking in games (at whatever time they may be!!)

    I think I arrive in HCMC on 24th June. I then leave from Hanoi 14 days later so I'll definitely be around

    I spent 3 weeks in North Vietnam, loved every minute, such an amazing country ! Its on my list to get back ASAP n explore a bit more of the country, I wanted to do north and south in 3 weeks but the north was so stunning was having a great time so I spent the whole three weeks there.

    Booked up in August in anticipation we'd get there. Glad we did as prices have gone up substantially since. Frankfurt for us 6 nights.

    I’m going to Düsseldorf. Can go direct from Edinburgh and you’re pretty close train wise to Cologne, Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund and Frankfurt so that’s 5 of the 10 stadiums within 2 and a half hours on the train.

    From Edinburgh there's direct flights to - Munich, Berlin, Hamburg (easyJet)
    Düsseldorf and cologne (eurowings)
    Frankfurt (lufthansa)
    Düsseldorf Weeze (Ryanair, düsseldorf is a trek from this airport)

    If I was going I would base myself in North Rhine Westphalia -Dusseldorf and Cologne are the the best with plenty of eating and drinking options. If accommodation is too much there have a look at duisburg,essen, Bochum. As has been mentioned 4 of the stadiums can be reached by local public transport (1:15 hours or less). Frankfurt and Stuttgart are doable by train.

    To give you an idea of how easy it is to travel in this area, I'm staying in Düsseldorf this weekend. We're doing a tour of the westfalenstadion (Dortmund) on Saturday morning, then going to the MSV duisburg game Saturday afternoon and then the Fortuna dusseldorf game saturday night. On Sunday we're going to FC koln v borussia Monchengladbach. Public transport is great there, plus you can crack open a beer and chill

    If you only need regional trains you can get a 49€ month pass. If using high speed ice trains then need to get a German train pass. That's different prices depending on how many days for example about £160 for any 3 days in a month or £250 for 7

    Could get lucky and Scotland are just in North Rhein and you can get away with only needing the 49€ pass. Or even if they are far away for one date you could get 49€ pass use it to get from airport, visit Dortmund Koln, then get day ticket for far away game

    I'll post again once draw is made to say what I'm going to be getting

    Won't be able avoid it. My "Company" will be providing services at all locations where UK teams play. Just hoping I get the Scotland gig but I think it will probably be a mixture of Scotland, England and Wales if they manage to qualify.

    Driving up from southern Spain with my wife - meeting my daughter and friends in Düsseldorf (likely camp) when they get there from Scotland. Ticket application posted today (UEFA ballot) but I’m also able to buy tickets for any Spanish games. Happy to go to as many games as I can.

    Few of us staying in a Airbnb in Dusseldorf, I'm getting the overnight ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam and the others booked their flights a while ago.

    Hopefully England don't end up in Dusseldorf, got no problem with the English but some of their fans are fuds
