I have always been a girl who says yes to travel shouting my lungs out. Ask my husband, if you do not believe me. And it’s true to say, that even before I get back home from a vacation, I’m already planning my next one. Travelling Europe, has its own perks – beautiful and closer to India.
Although, when it comes to travelling Europe I just can’t seem to make up my mind what I love more Italy, England, Austria, Germany or France. But, clubbing three of my top favourites here.
Say Yes To Travel – Travelling Europe
London
London is home away from home. It gives me the feeling of familiarity. Even when it was my first trip to the place I never felt alienated at all.
The people are friendly and there is something for every age.
We loved the London eye and the wax museum. And, not to forget the hustle-bustle of The Oxford Street.
If you have been to London you know what I mean!
Watching a movie at Leicester square, or taking a day trip to Stonehenge, and a lot lot more. You can check out more details on London here.
Top Tip:
In London travelling by underground or Tube is the most convenient way. So, if you are visiting for more than two days then it’s a good idea to buy the Oyster card.
A city map
Boots is the place where you can shop for basic medicines, toiletries, biscuits etc.
Venice
Venice – Well Venice, is the most beautiful place to travel to. It’s not only the prettiest place in Europe alone but also the world.
Venice is also called the city of love or the city of masks.
There are water taxis everywhere and, you can’t spot a single car in the area. The entire city is discovered on foot, or water. Now, how romantic is that.
Gondola rides, Rialto bridge all will just make you fall for it. One time visit is a must. Choose a hotel, which will help you enjoy the grand canal view.
Top Tip:
Keep your sunnies handy, as it might get sunny even in the month of January.
Also be prepared to not see any typical fast food chains here. Eat local and indulge in pastas and pizzas!
Paris
Well, I guess Paris is one place which needs no introduction whatsoever. It’s the city of romance and a very pretty one too. The iconic Eiffel Tower is the essence of the place. Although, The Louvre is the world’s largest art museum. It’s also the house to the famous painting The Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
Oh, and Champs Elysees, is the most famous commercial street. (Expensive too!)
The loveliness of Paris goes on and on, there is a lot to do. Arc de triomphe, Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, Notre Dam etc.
Disney Europe is also in Paris and just minutes away from the city.
Top Tip
People, of Paris are not the friendliest. Be prepared, to not get your queries answered.
Carry a map for sure.
Montmartre is on a hill, so make sure your footwear is not too hard on you.
Monoprix is the famous supermarket and you can find some basic amenities here.
If you travel via Lufthansa, then you will have a layover in Frankfurt for some time. You will love it there as well. Best airport ever, and a lot to do. I wrote a post on it, check it out here :).
So, whether you are going for a romantic getaway, or a just to relax with family, travelling Europe will definitely be enjoyable. just make sure to check the weather online and pack accordingly.
This is my one and only entry to #SayYesToTheWorld competition being held by Lufthansa on Indiblogger.
wow, Europe is gorgeous.. I hope I can travel there one day!
Great tips, and I agree Europe is amazing! I love in the Netherlands and so easy to go everywhere
Wow! Amazing tips and Europe is beautiful. My cousins stays there. Wish to visit once❤
I am so thankful to have experienced Paris and Venice, but my husband has not! I hope to start traveling more together with out son. Europe is definitely on my list! Thanks for your post!
Europe is an amazing place to travel to and it makes sense to see it in small clusters so that I can really see the beauty of it.
As an art lover, all three of these cities have museums that are on my bucket list!
I agree, nothing like Europe when it comes to experiencing some rich history, culture, architect, food. I love Paris, have studied there, and has a strong affinity with it. Yes, Frenchies are little rude, they might ignore you as if you don’t exist, but then there are people walking on the street who would just say ‘bonjour’,, ‘vous etes belle’, something you never see in India. May be I am just partial to Paris. Anyway, London is good too! Have yet to travel Venice. Thanks for the tips.
you have selected 3 lovely places, I hope to travel to someday 🙂
I didnt know about the un-friendliness of the French, good to know, now i wont feel personally offended 🙂 and I will learn a bit basic language skills before going off to europe!
Europe has been on my list, but I want it to be more than just touristy, still trying to figure that out, but your tips are certainly helpful.
Europe is an amazing traveling destination. Living in Texas from last 12 years, one thing rgayi truly admire about London is tube connectivity. You don’t have to drive or fly everywhere
This made me nostalgic. I have lived in London and it is indeed a second home to me. I love absolutely everything about the city. I did not know Venice had no or few cars and water taxis were more popular there. And yes I had a wonderful idea about Paris in my head which was rudely jolted by the unfriendliness of the people there.
venice is in my list since long and your post has made the feeling of visiting so strong need to show this to hubby now…
Europe travel is a dream for everybody. Hope to travel with family soon. London is my favorite.
I can never get enough of Europe nd this refresh my memories of everyday trvelling by tube, boota, primark, Oxford street.
Visitimg Europe is a dream and on my bucket list since long. I hope I get to visit Europe some day and would love to see Venice and it’s water taxis. Beautiful post!!
Travel enriches our souls and set it free. I also love traveling. Paris is my bucket list
Have yet to visit Europe. It’s been in my bucket list for a while.
Good tips. Keep writing 🙂
