• Alessandro Hi, I live in Tuscany, close to Cinque Terre ( soo I guess you think I'm lucky lol)and I'm writing a thesis for my master in Hotel Management.I wish to know what is your opinion about the level of hospitality in Italian hotels. Thank you

  59

  • Heather HI Alessandro! Thanks for the comment! :) I actually work for hotels, but I've never been to Italy -- have you tried to google any information?

    68

• Zoe @anonymous I think when she said she wanted to live in hat country she meant Malta not the continent of Europe

  29

• Lyn Come and visit also the greatest waterfalls in europe which is the Rheinfall in Zürich, Switzerland

  72

  • Heather Definitely going to have to try that! Thanks for the tip!! :)

    37

• Clay Yes, Cinque Terre was definitely my favorite in Europe - about 25% above number 2 on my list.

  15

  • Heather Awesome Clay! Have you ever visited there? :)

    41

• silvia where is Albania? there are a lot wonderful place to visit.

  14

  • Heather Hi Silvia!! Albania is located in eastern Europe across the Adriatic Sea from Italy. It is north of Greece. Sounds like a beautiful place right?

    42

• Anonymous My absolute favorite place in Europe is called Sevedsplan, a part of the Swedish city Malmoe. Sevedsplan's beauty is stunning, and with the harmonic atmosphere and lovely people it's absolutely great. The best trip I've ever made!

  63

  • Heather That sounds incredible!! I can't wait to head to Paris next year, first trip overseas, wish me luck! :)

    74

• ikinga We don't have "rivers" in Venice, but "canals". :) It is the sea, Venice is composed by many small islands and they were unified with bridges. Anyway, I live in a small and gorgeous medieval city just 30min from Venice. I have been around a lot all over N. Italy, Alps, most European capitals etc. I really think Italy is amazing with many things to choose from. I think Rome is the most amazing city in Europe (followed by Paris). Secondly, Venice is also amazing but touristy. Tuscany is simply stunning, especially if you drive around and visit smaller villages, like San Gimigniano. Going in 3 weeks to 5 Terre ;). As for the beaches, Maddalena islands (Sardegna, Italy) has stunning pink beaches. Oh, and I forgot: The Dolomities!

  18

  • Heather Hey ikinga! That sounds beautiful! I have a trip planned to Paris next year and I can not wait to see everything there!

    57

• Anonymous Copenhagen only no. 16...? shame shame... must be bc you haven't been there... would be my privilege to show her around... :-)

  1

  • Sheila That gorgeous huh? I would love to visit! Thanks for stopping by :)

    41

• Anonymous Portugal has some amazing places to see as well but people dont realize it because it is a small country. Lisbon, Porto, and Algarve are some of the most beautiful places to visit in Europe as well. Venice is nice in pictures but smells awful

  21

  • Sheila Thanks for sharing that information! Keep visiting :)

    73

• Marty Thank you for this lovely list.. I love to travel and the places in here are idyllic, especially the Greek islands and Hallstatt :))

  17

  • Sheila Thank you for the compliment Marty! Happy travelling :)

    61

• Anonymous I'm massively surprised no one has mentioned Scotland! Edinburgh may not be a big city but it is very beautiful and the festival every August is enjoys world wide fame. Then there's the Highlands and Islands which are stunning and full of history and atmosphere...

  89

  • Denise Hey hun. Thank you for making a recommendation.

    16

• Anonymous For me: London --UK Paris--France Vanice--Italy Stockholm--Sweden Prague--CZ Luzern--Switzerland Barcelona--Spain Rome--Italy Pisa--Italy Vienna--Austria

  83

• Swati wonderful compilations of places to see in Europe!! I made my list, thank you, everybody :-)

  52

  • Anonymous @Sheila, Hey need help on places to visit europe.. im 24 right now in germany.. what places should i goto

    65

  • Sheila You're very welcome Swati! Happy travelling :)

    41

• michael alot of these places are big major cities and you can find alot more beauty in smaller towns as they are untouched in alot of ways. I am from Australia and I live in a beautiful little town in France called Sarlat-La-Caneda in the dordogne, there is so much history there and alot of good restaurants. I recommend to everyone to check it out at least once.

  52

  • Sheila Thanks for the wonderful suggestion Michael :)

    81

• Anonymous That many cities in Italy alone? A lil' overrated, I'd say. As a Scandinavian I would definitely recommend Lapland, esp. the very northern of Norway.

  55

• Brandon Love the list...only been to about half of them. Next time you're in Italy go down to Naples and take a boat to the islands of Ischia and Capri...Gorgeous. Little town just outside of Rome called Frascatti, Great place.

  28

  • Anonymous My list: 1-BARCELONA 2- AMALFI COAST 3- ITALIAN RIVIERA 4- ROME 5- VENICE 6-FLORENCE 7-LONDON 8-PARIS 9-LUGANO 10-LUCERNE

    52

  • Denise Hi Brandon. You're so lucky to have visited even just half of those places! And thank you for that little tip. I hope to hear from you again!

    47

• Anonymous Also, I think Madrid shouldn't be in this list. It's just a big city that happens to be the capital of a country. Not much do see, no «wow!» landmarks, nothing. Just some museums and a big plaza. Lisbon, Prague, Bavaria (Castles like Neushwenstein) and the French Riviera should be in this list instead. Amsterdam is OK, but for people that don't live in Europe I would say not to waste time there, there are a lot of prettier cities with lots of historical sites and astonishing locations. PS: I'm European. ;)

  • Anonymous Golden Oldie says: Don't miss Budapest... amazing city!!

    97

  • Danka Lee McQueen: Are you sure about Naples and Greece? In July/August? It is going to be incredibly hot and busy during the summer in those places. Why not Paris - Switzerland - Cinque Terre - Florence Rome or Venice before going to Vienna or Prague? You could do that by train.

    68

  • Karen Ditto on the Amsterdam I live near there and it's not even in my top 10 cities, pretty boring, you can do so much better. Rome, Barcelona, Athens...

    59

  • Anonymous Haha Neuschwanstein is the name of the castle. It's the "Disney castle" in southern Germany, or Bavaria.

    76

  • Anonymous I think you´re definitely not going to be able to visit all these places in such a short span of time. especially when you want to go from paris to greece, because for that you would have to take a plane, and then, only 3 days for greece definitely isn´t enough time.. also, I wouldn´t travel to one place in austria, then to the czech republic and then to austria again, because that takes too much time as well. I would just visit one thing in austria, otherwise it´s just too much. so, summed up, if you leave out greece, it´ll probably be easier for you to manage to visit the other places in that span of time. as for the best way to travel, I think going by train is a pretty good choice. taking a bus takes too much time, and taking a plane is sort of complicated, I think.

    48

  • Anonymous just wondering, how are you going to travel from paris to greece? by plane?

    10

  • Lee Hi, I'm planning a trip to Europe on the 15th of july and fly back on the 5th august. I have only booked return tickets from Australia to Paris but plan on travelling around Europe while i'm there. After reading everybody's suggestions i've come up with a little travel plan.My plans are as follows. PARIS 3 DAYS, GREECE 3 DAYS, NAPLES 2 DAYS, ROME 2 DAYS, FLORENCE 2 DAYS, AUSTRIA(hallstatt) 2 DAYS, PRAGUE 2 DAYS, VIENNA 2 DAYS, AMSTERDAM 2 DAYS, PARIS AND BACK TO AUSTRALIA. What do you think of this schedual? Also any other suggestions? also what is the best way to travel via eg. bus, plane, train and what airlines and services should i use? Thanks any help would be appreciated as it is our first time in Europe. Lee

    51

  • Gilad Lisbon! I absolutely agree. And in Portugal, Azores are astonishing, specially Saint Miguel and Faial islands.

    75

  • Denise Hello there. I know that for someone who lives in Europe, some of these places may seem like old news. But I'm sure that for those who don't experience places like Madrid and Amsterdam on a regular basis, it will be a wonderful and an amazing experience. Often times, we get so used to life and living that we become jaded and blind to the beauty and mystery around us. Being a visitor in a new place gives us new perspective and new appreciation for the things around us. Thank you,though, for sharing your input. It's great to hear what our readers have to say.

    37

  • Anonymous *Neuschwanstein Sorry, I don't speak German. :P

    10

• Anonymous Hallstatt is located by a lake and not by a river.

  95

  • Denise Hey there. You are absolutely right about that. Thanks for informing us about the mistake. I'll ask an editor to make the correction. Again, thank you for taking time to comment.

• Prem I arrived in Switzerland about 18 months back for work on a two-year assignment. I am an avid traveller and used this opportunity to do a fair share of tourism during my stay in this part of the world. I had been following this link like Bible to plan many of my vacations. I have now seen most of what is cited here. Each of these places are amazing and I must thank the author for it. In particular, I 'd never have known of gems like Hallstatt or Cinque Terre, if not for this page. Even though I agree with most of the choices listed here, I feel that Vienna, Prague, Budapest (may be) and a couple of places from Scandinavia and Eastern Europe should have made it to the list as well to make it more balanced.

  81

  • Sheila Hi Prem, We're so excited to know that you've actually traveled to these places using our list!! And thank you for your suggestions! We'll add them to the list when we update it! :)

    83

• Mike I disagree on Paris. It's soo overrated. My dad says every time he goes there, there's dog doo all over the streets and mean tourists everywhere. I can't believe they neglected to mention Zurich, Switzerland. It's a gorgeous city to walk around in with a history as old as Rome itself.

  12

  • Beth Rome is by far the best city to see if you only have one chance to get to Europe.

    16

  • Beth Paris is overrated, been to many other countries that are way more fascinating, and French food is not very good.

    63

  • Julo, I agree, Paris could be replaced with Prague, Lisbon or Wien. I have never been to Paris, but only thing I heard about it is iron tower and the most expensive street in the world. But can never compare it with Venice or Rome or other cities.

    94

  • Anonymous I think Paris is the most beautiful city in Europe.

    86

  • Sheila Hi Mike, Thank you for your suggestion. I've seen pictures of Zurich and it does look amazing! Still, I think it would be a crime to leave Paris out of this list. It is afterall the city of love and all that :)

    86

• Misaki Wow... thanks for the wonderful tips... Definitely gonna include them into my itinerary for my next year Europe trip!!!

  13

  • Sheila Ah Misaki, you lucky lucky girl! Have fun and do let us know how you enjoyed these places :)

    15

  • Denise Hi Misaki. Welcome to All Women Stalk! We're glad you like the suggested places. We're just happy to help out our readers. I hope you have a fun and safe trip next year!

• Fatima I find Barcelona so beautiful. I wish I could live there.

  20

  • Sheila Hey Fatima, I have been fascinated with Barcelona ever since I watched Vicky Cristina Barcelona. :) Thanks for reading!

    78

• michele What a post to wander into...Love everywhere, but especially Italy...Thanks for all of the dream worthy places.

  50

  • Denise Hey Michele. Glad you loved the post. Italy is also on top of my list of places to visit in Europe. Thanks for reading All Women Stalk!

    35

• ali In Florence, if you walk across the Pont D’Vecchio into the little town away from Florence, and you pass all these little piazza's... you will find a road with a sidewalk that takes you past GORGEOUS tuscan homes and a beautiful hotel--If you follow the sidewalk up for about 45 min, past a park, you come to the peak of the mountain and you have the most AMAZING view of all of Florence/surrounding Tuscany... There couldnt be a more gorgeous view of the city; and is best experienced at dusk.

  73

• Kika you forgot croatia :)

  56

  • anna @Beth, So much to see in Croatia! Dubrovnik is gorgeous! and another place that can pass for a magical lake is Plitvica, there are many fabulous beaches there too! Such as "golden horn beach" in croatia. theres much much more too!

    61

  • Anonymous @Beth, its beautiful waterfront it will be VERY HOT! was there last week hot already - make sure you take there currency - most businesses do not accept US EURO

    68

  • Beth Talk to me about Croatia, thinking of doing a week there in August, what can I do, which cities to visit? How warm will it be?

  • Sheila Hi Kika, I've never been but I hear some lovely things! :) Thanks for visiting All Women Stalk!
