Tell me your top 5 destinations
 

I've only been to Europe once and am looking forward to planning my next trip. But where to go? Too many choices! So I look to you, the more experienced traveler, to help me. Tell me your top 5 (or 2, 6, 10...whatever) destinations (city or country) and why you enjoy traveling there. Write as much as you want and I look forward to reading your responses.

1. Iceland--unique, great activities, uncrowded <BR>2. Reuti, Hasliberg region, Switzerland-- incredibly beautiful, terrific transportation <BR>3. London--a little bit (or a lot!) of everything, plus shopping <BR>4. Sintra, Portugal--"glorious Eden"(Byron) <BR>5. Italy, anywhere! <BR>An eclectic list, but 'tis mine own.

Italy!!! (The Amalfi Coast is the most beautiful place on earth) Venice--transports you to a different place and time! Rome Paris is a must see. You either love it or hate it! I enjoyed Barcelona, Spain. Am going to Ireland in a month and hear it is the most beautiful and friendliest of places!

1. Berner Oberland, Switzerland - the mountains are beautiful <BR>2. Cinque Terre, Italy <BR>3. Greek Islands <BR>4. Turkey - wonderful people, great ruins, inexpensive <BR>5. Cesky Kurmlov, Czech Rep.

Venice, and all the Veneto region in Italy <BR> <BR>Amsterdam, and the Netherlands in general <BR> <BR>Barcelona and Avila, Spain <BR> <BR>Santorini, Greece_ this is a very unique scenery <BR> <BR>Istanbul, and Turkey ( Ephesus, Cappadocia, Pamukkale) <BR> <BR>Surlok <BR> <BR>

1. Vernon near Paris so close to Giverny and there are many charming places that are not known to those who come there just to visit Monet House <BR>2. Paris like being back home <BR>3. Florence for museums <BR>4. Tatras for hiking <BR>5. Portugal for history <BR> <BR>5. Alaska ( I know it is not Europe but there is so much to do if you are an outdoor oriented traveler).

Jennifer, <BR> <BR>1. Scotland...beautiful scenery and the friendliest people in all of Europe <BR> <BR>2. Bavaria...friendly people, great Alpine scenery, Munich, great beer. <BR> <BR>3. Italy...art overdose, great food, friendly people <BR> <BR>4. Paris...just because it is Paris <BR> <BR>5. Prague...beautiful old city, inexpensive and those great Czech beers!

Seems the Italia-philes are up early & answering your query today. I too fall into the bucket. <BR> <BR>1. Italy (anywhere in country) <BR>2. Paris (it's Paris, need I say more?) <BR>3, 4, & 5.
