Current Events > Have you ever been to Europe?

(+) Yeah! (+)

if you have, which countries/cities? If not, where would you like to go? If you live in Europe, which part?

London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Bruges

Loved it all! Vondelpark in Amsterdam is a dream, the street waffles/chocolate in Brussels are delicious, and Bruges feels like walking through a fairy tale town.

yup.

Italy - Rome, Florence, Sienna
Netherlands - Amsterdam
France - Paris
England - London

Nope. I'll likely never be able to travel and see the world. I don't see the enjoyment or appeal of it tbh.

Just Italy. Florence was the most beautiful city I have ever been to.

Milan was meh aside from the shopping

The appeal is to experience things you can't at home

No. I don't plan to either. I can just watch videos of the places there

Spent some time in Rome. Also went to Greece and visited Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Olympia.

Pretty dope

Not sure what I'd want to experience that I couldn't experience at "home", not to mention the vast amount of financial stress that would come with simply buying plane tickets, let alone staying somewhere else long enough to enjoy it.

Rome for the colisseum
Amsterdam for the anne frank house (and sex workers)
Brussells definitely good for waffles lol (and sex workers)

I live in Sweden and have visited the following other European countries:

Norway
Denmark
Finland
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
France
Greece
The UK (England and Scotland)
Spain (both the mainland and 3 islands)
Moldova (which included changing flights in Ukraine)
Transnistria (the last Soviet Republic, doesnt officially exist)

The cost is often high and prohibitive, sure. But if you can afford it, it's worth it. Anything you like at home, you can find a different version elsewhere. I personally love eating food I've never tried before, walking museums, sitting in parks, doing a haunted hike, etc.

The crux for me is that the world is a big place and it seems like a waste to not experience as much as I can. You never know when you'll fall in love with something unless you try it.

I've lived in the UK (England) my whole life

You raise a good point but I'm broke and won't ever be able to afford any of that, so it's not even worth thinking about. It'd be like speculating about how a trip to the moon would affect someone.

It sucks, but it is what it is. This is the world we live in. Terrible place, terrible people, terrible intersecting sociopolitical/financial systems and institutions. All rotten.

I live in the Netherlands, so yeah. Most of the times I went abroad so far have almost always been to another European country, some of which are:

UK - I go here every few years and have been throughout a lot of cities and general regions so far.
Ireland - Dublin
Belgium - Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges
France - Paris and rural areas of Cher
Germany - Rothenburg (in Bavaria)
Sweden - Stockholm
Spain - Several places along the east coast, including Barcelona
Italy - Rome and several places in the north, including Venice

I live in Europe. So every day.

But I live in England and have been to all of the "4 countries" on the UK, along with Ireland proper separately. And then been to all but a few of the European mainland countries - the Scandinavian ones, but do want to visit them at some point. Along with Ukraine, Belarus, Bosnia and Serbia yet to visit and maybe a few others I'm forgetting.

A lot them were on camping holidays as a child we'd drive to so would be nice to see them again as an adult where I can properly appreciate them.

I live in England.

Yes.
I was in Lisbon 2 weeks ago

Planning to do Dubrovnik next summer and Cologne Germany in December of 2023

I've been to England a few times (have family in Surrey/Sussex, nice areas) and Berlin once.

italy - rome, florence, cinque terre
france - paris

thinking spain next time.

all trips were worth it, no matter how much they cost.

Nope. And while monetarily I could afford to go and visit Europe time wise it's not super feasible.

germany, hungary, croatia, turkey, spain, czechia, austria, uk (england), belgium, netherlands

my friends bully me because i've never been to italy

London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fort William, and Mallaig.

yes, though every place I've been in Europe was with my ex who was from Spain. we went to France, Germany, and Poland

Been to Europe twice. But it was almost 20 years ago

In i think 2003, I went to the UK. Toured England, Scotland and Wales

In like 2006 or 2007 I went again, this time to mainland. Did Germany, France, Italy, and Czech Republic

I'd like to go back if I can. Would like to see the UK again. Would like to visit places like Iceland and Norway maybe

I live in Germany, and have been to every region in Germany
