Europe is a Must See! Big Cities are a Must to visit: London, Paris, Rome, Madrid, Vienna, Berlin, Amsterdam, Moscow - those metropolitan areas are certainly huge traditional tourist sights. And rightfully so. If you have not been to those big cities you have absolutely missed out on important historic sites as well as active up-to-date city life. international student exchange program - But you also have cities, just as large, that should be visited: Munich, Barcelona, Nice, Edinburg, Prague, Budapest, Krakow, Florence, Geneva, Brussels, St. Petersburg, Sevilla, Lisbon, Dublin, Cologne. So if time and budget allows it you should include those must-see cities. best exchange student programs - There is more to enjoy:beaches, country side, food, party, and above all stunning history. You could spend a whole summer season with island hopping in front of the Greek coast, enjoying cristal blue ocean, stunning sun sets, fantastic Mediterranean cuisine. As an alternative, you could enjoy a vacation in the alps with climbing, paragliding, hiking, skiing, speed-sledding, snow-boarding, and any other outdoor activity you can imagine. best exchange student programs - If you desire the quieter country side, we recommend Ireland, Wales, Scotland, the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway).If you are interested in geology you want to start your trip in Iceland, visiting geysers and craters, go on with your trip to France, the Auvergne, which is volcanic, continue your trip through Germany, where you will also find volcanic crater lakes as well as historic fossils finds and end the trip on Sicily with Mt. Etna, a volcano, which is still active. Caves to explore you will mostly find in Austria, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Italy. Perhaps food and drinks is what you like to enjoy during your vacation? We suggest the Champagne, Burgundy, and the area of Bordeaux in France, Tuscany in Italy, of course the the Rioja area in Spain and last but not least, if Whiskey is your thing: a malt tour through Scotland, including a visit of the Jonny Walker premises in Kilmarnock. For the brewery fans: don't miss out on the Heineken tour in Amsterdam. If you are traveling with children, then they will love Disneyland Paris, Legoland in Denmark, the Europa-Park one hour north of Basel and a lot of other amusement parks throughout Europe. All bigger cities offer museums which are appreciated by children and zoos have a very high standard throughout Europe and are therefore really popular. Where to stay: well, now that depends on the budget. You will find international hotel chains in all major cities (like Best Western, Marriot, Holiday Inn etc.), tourist information officers will also know the secret romantic places, which are not crowded with bus loads of people. If you are traveling on a budget you will find youth hostels everywhere and public transportation is great. In general Europe is a safe place to travel and most camping grounds are fine. The cheapest way is to stay for free: you can either try couch-surfing or www.best-student-exchange.com, if you want to be a foreign exchange student, where you will find places to stay for free and host families to live with as an exchange student. Travel Europe - it is worth the trip!
