Eurotrip country decision
Wed, 08/29/2012 - 11:44
Hey guys. 18 years old graduating highschool this year and I am planning a eurotrip. Well instead of traveling all over europe my friends and I have decided to visit 4 countries in 3 weeks. One week we plan on being in Italy, the next week we plan on being in amsterdam/belgium (belgium for the annual tomorrowland festival), and for the 3rd week we are having trouble deciding on where to go. I have thought of Spain as an option. Maybe Germany or even Denmark. But honestly I have no idea what to choose and I need some help. Where would be a good place for a group of 18 year old guys to go chill out during the day and party at night?! Is Italy even the right place for us? Any comments are appreciated! thanks!
Suggestions:
A) Spend 2 weeks in Italy…
B) Pick someplace close and easy to get to from Belgium or Netherlands, like Paris (add a stop in Strasbourg or Lille or take a side trip to Normandy) or London (again with a side trip or several day trips). In a week,you could visit London and Paris if you want to concentrate on large cities. My choice would be London and several day trips.
It’s easy to get around these days with cheap flights, so I don’t worry about distance much anymore. That said, don’t plan a flight or overnight train every two days, and don’t choose a spread out itinerary if the logistics are difficult At your age and with your interests I think Spain, and Barcelona in particular, would be a great choice.
I agree with augustin re: Barcelona. Spend 5 nights there and then catch a short 45 min flight to Ibiza for a couple days. Hit up Privelege on a Monday night to see Armin. Since you’re going to Tomorrowland these places will be right up your alley. Other cool places to sightsee then party for a couple guys your age would be a Prague & Budapest.
I suggest Spain. Must see is Barcelona, Madrid and Belchite, which is a wondreful absolutely empty town also known as a ghost town. It became so afetr Civil War, during Franco reign, Overall, its just great)in Spain you will have all kinds of vacation like sport, beach, culture and crazy wated parties.
