So me and slasheh are thinking of doing a eurotrip this summer but its still in the early stages so we need your help! Has anyone been before, any advice? Where is good to go and whats there to do etc. Even any info on the city you stay in and what there is to do there would be good, thanks =)
Also went from Wales > France > Amsterdam > Germany etc
most dutch cities aren't _THAT_ amazing I guess, and Bruxelles when I visited it was a complete mess
Amsterdam is not that special, unless you're looking for drugs or hookers. Brussels is not worth it at all imo. If you wanna visit a Belgian city, take Antwerp.
rome - culture
paris - frogs
amsterdam - drugs
berlin - mieke!!!
prague - AIDS
I found that the best way to plan it was to simply look at a map and point out a couple of places each that we wanted to see, then try to work out a feasible route based on how long we intended to go for, not forgetting to account for the time it takes to travel between them of course. I found that three days per city was sufficient.
The problem with the likes of Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, etc. is that they're slightly more isolated and out of the way. While Rome (for example) is cool, the time it takes to get there and back may not be worth it if you're hoping to squeeze in a lot of places. I suggest you head to central-eastern Europe (like Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, etc.). Firstly because it's cheaper than western Europe, and secondly because it's more different to the UK than western Europe is - it's somewhat more of a culture shock. Thirdly because there's a lot of cities (in different countries) in close proximity.
If you've plenty of time the Balkans might also be an idea.
barcelona is very nice too! and ofcourse rome and paris...just do all random city's
And then go back home.
so london->paris->crans sur mer->amsterdam->bratislava->berlin->rome
If not I recommend slovakia
im there soon HAHAHA <3
we go in april for 2 weeks
so dont forget it^^
