week in europe- where to go??
My wife and I have a week to spend in Europe. We don't like to rough it, enjoy cities and museums and have been to: London, Paris, Loire Valley, Geneva, Zermatt, Hamburg, Florence, Rome, Venice, Prague, Lyon, Vienna, and Bordeaux. So without going back to those places, where should we go next??

One of favorite cities in Europe is Berlin--has all that you want & good daytrips. Other options which you would enjoy are Budapest and Krakow. Budapest is much larger than Krakow but Krakow has some good sidetrips (Zakopane-resort village in Tatras, Auschwitz/Birkenau Concentration camps, Salt Mines)

Bob, <BR> <BR>I second the vote for Barcelona and/or Madrid. Barcelona has a wonderful vatiety of art and architecture, covering a variety of styles. Everyone should see the work of Gaudi at least once. <BR> <BR>Madrid with a side trips to Toledo, El Escorial (the royal Palace) and Segovia would make a wonderful week. <BR> <BR>Have fun where ever you go. <BR>Aileen <BR> <BR>

Hi,Bob <BR>I agree with Madrid, if cities are on your agenda. Don't leave Europe without it. <BR>When that is said, why not try Scandinavia. Depending, of course, on when you have planned to travel. <BR>Copenhagen really is underestimated as a continental town. Every minute in that town is worth it's money. <BR>But do not go Denmark if nature is on the agenda. In that case, choose Norway. Either season, Norway will give you a thrill, but do not expect anything else than nature and weather. We are, modesly speaking, not the very best on culture and prices. Nature, however, we master in an excellent way. <BR>Welcome to Norway!! <BR>Bjorn

Bob, <BR> Contact the Danish Tourist Board, P.O.Box 4649, Grand Central Station, New York, NY 10163-4649, ask for information about Copenhagen and Denmark. Their brochure (book) can also be obtained by visiting their web site at www.visitdenmark.com. (Very quick response.) <BR> Give Copenhagen some serious consideration. To be honest I have only been to Copenhagen (three times) and London (twice), so lack personal knowledge of other major, European cities. But the time I have spent in Copenhagen was absolutely fantastic. I am in the process of planning another trip to Europe this summer. Destination? Copenhagen. <BR> <BR> No matter where you go, have a wonderful trip. <BR>

Amsterdam and Brugges get my vote -- you can easily drive from one to the other. Fly into Amsterdam and fly out of Brussels. Whatever you do, do not attempt to drive in Amsterdam -- this comes from someone who has driven in Manhattan, Brussels, and San Francisco.
