I think I want to stay like 2-3 days each in London, Paris and Rome. Maybe stop in Switzerland.


For the ones that have been to Europe, what were some of your favorite or must see locations?

When my wife was like 20 she moved to Germany to be a nanny to a random family she found on the internet...(weird af to me) I thought about going to see whatever city that might have been, My last name is really German as well. I have found where my fathers side immigrated from but it is just old German farmlands now. There is a state in Netherlands that is the same as my last name and a college. Might be cool to see.

auschwitz-birkenau

That's way over in Poland but it would be amazing to see. Heck just the Holocaust museum in DC was awesome.

I spent a month in Italy. Florence is incredible. Rome and Venice are tourist traps so I wouldn’t bother. Genoa is amazingly beautiful! I would think any coastal town would be.

We thought about Rome because my wife being Catholic and would like to see the Vatican

Stonehenge is worth seeing. If you time it be there during the summer solstice you can hang with the druids.

Leaning tower of Pizza.

Pisa

I would only recommend during the off season. If you can imagine... that place gets insane. If you want to see the Sistine Chapel, be ready to get in line before dawn or to wait for hours.

My advice is to have accurate expectations of what you're going to see. You're going to see the Vatican yes, but you're also going to see a metric butt-ton of randos from literally all over the world also wanting to see the exact same thing as you at the exact same time. Just be prepared for that.

Some people are more tolerant of those kinds of crowds than myself. It's not one of my best qualities like my charming personality!

Italy, Germany and Spain would be cool to visit. I have no desire to visit England as that place seems dreary and boring.

I traveled quite a bit on business and my wife would fly over for a vacation a couple of times a year. I'd definitely spend some time in London, but I'd skip Rome and Paris and save them for another trip. You may not be up for day after day of crowds and lines. The Italian/French alps are really nice and Switzerland/Austria are definitely worth your time.

My best friend was nuts over Paris last year. They had a killer time. Hated London. And last month he went to Bosnia and Croatia. Said that was awesome.

Loved Florence and Venice... Budapest was neat... Paris was okay... Dan

It would be awesome.
