My girl friend and I want to travel to Europe from Russia - I am English she is Russian. Her new Shengen Visa is issued by the Italian Embassy but we want to make our point of entry in to Europe as Germany. We want to do this because our 2nd port of call will be Prague, then Vienna and then Venice. My question is do we have to visit the host country first? Do we for example have to fly in to Italy and then start our tour?
