Are you a college student who dreams of the legendary Euro Trip? A married couple looking for a honeymoon destination or just an awesome person who likes to travel? If you’re wondering where to go in Europe, because let’s face it, there’s a lot of places and they all hold so much promise, here are 5 places that you should definitely visit, if not on this trip, than the next. Once you do Europe once, there is always a return so have no fears about that. You will always find your way back again and again.
1. Reykjavik Iceland:
Many people forget the Iceland is actually part of Europe, and no, It’ not covered in ice. Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland and depending on the season you visit, it can be constant light or constant darkness. If you are fortunate enough to visit in the darkness (the winter) then look to the sky and spot the Northern Lights, a natural phenomenon not many are able to witness. Be sure to visit the volcanic hot springs and basic in the warm, relaxing water and celebrate the fact that you are on vacation.
2. London England:
Perhaps you only speak English and need a place where you can understand the locals? Jolly ol’England is your place. This charming kingdom is filled with pubs/taverns, palaces (Buckingham and The Tower), and let’s not forget, platform 9 ¾ at Kings Cross Station. As one of the hubs of Europe, travel from London is easy and can get you any other part of England you may wish to visit (like Oxford which is about 40 min away by train and you can see where the Great Hall of Hogwarts).
3. Paris France:
Paris is the city of lights, love and passion. If you are looking for a magical place to honeymoon, or a place to celebrate an anniversary, Paris is the city for lovers. It’s the home of the Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles (about 30 min away by train) and the Louvre museum. If you two make it out of the room, be sure to put a lock on the “Love Lock” bridge. Simply write your initials on the lock, seal it and throw the key into the water, to not only seal your love forever, but to make a silent promise that you will be together forever.
4. Venice Italy:
If you are a fan of cheap and delicious pizza, then there is a little café hidden on the maze streets of Venice waiting for you. For 2 Euros a slice, it is without a doubt the cheapest meal you will find on this enchanting island. Surrounded by water, Venice is a work of art simply trapped in time. From San Marco’s Piazza to the Grand Canal, it’s architecture and maze like streets will not only capture your heart, but also draw you back for a second visit. It’s simply not possible to only visit Venice once.
5. Rome Italy:
Rome is a thriving Italian city literally living in history. They say that, “Rome was not built in a day,” and they mean it. Built thousands of years ago, Rome still stands and everywhere you turn you will see ruins. There is the Coliseum where it was considered entertainment for gladiators to kill each other (not just a Russell Crowe film), the Pantheon and The Vatican. If you are looking for an upbeat, historically modern (only in Rome) then toss a penny into the Trevi Fountain and make a wish.
