Here is a quick peek into what you can’t miss in your dream Europe tour.
Fashion, Eiffel Tower and Disney Land are the three main attractions of the city. While the third covers almost one-fifth the area of Paris, it has lured both kids and adults alike. Disney Land has been divided into Disney Park, which has all the rides and Disney Studio, where you will find all your favourite cartoon characters, animated movies and some performances.
Next up is the world famous Eiffel Tower. It has three levels and it makes a spectacular view at night, when thousands of lights flash together. The sheer sight of this 324 metre tall structure will leave you with a feeling of awe.
If art interests you then Paris is just the right city for you. The Louvre Museum is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. It mainly houses centuries old sculptures, archaeological findings, drawing and of course, the famous painting of Monalisa.
Well there is more to explore. If you want to get the feel of its historical richness, then ‘Arc de Triomphe’ is the place where you need to be. One of the most famous monuments in Paris has information about Napoleonic wars and French Revolution.
Paris is a commercially beautiful city with friendly and cooperative locals. Here people believe in working hard on weekdays and party harder on weekends. When the citizens of Paris want to party, they often start off right on its many pretty roads. Riverside parties near the Seine are a common sight.
If you are a shopping or fashion enthusiast, you got to check out the Rue du Faubourg St-Honore, counted among the most expensive shopping streets in the world.
Belgium is famous for chocolates, beer and French fries that come in huge varieties in this country. Renowned ‘Godiva Chocolatier’ was founded in Belgium in 1926. Other than this, Belgium is known for the statue of a boy happily peeing in the fountain basin called Manneken Pis. The statue has many legends attached to it.
This city of canals and bridges is eco-friendly as bicycle is a popular mode of transportation here. Amsterdam is situated two meters above the sea level and most of its area is covered with water so it’s compulsory for everyone there to know swimming. Visit Amsterdam to enjoy water, cruise and Madam Tussauds wax museum.
Black forests and the Cologne Cathedral church are the major tourist attractions in Germany. Other than this, one will find loads of Cuckoo clocks here as they were invented in Germany.
If in Frankfurt, do not forget to taste the black forest cake (or one of the many other cakes) at the Cafe Mozart – a bit overpriced, but then it is the most awesome thing in the world!
PS: People in Germany are a little biased to their language as they do not easily accept the English language. So language could be one problem here.
This place seems to be the hot favourite of all our Bollywood actors, directors and producers for its scenic beauty. Well in return, Switzerland too gives them all the honour. The famous mountain that is Mt Titlis which is at the height of 10,000 feet is the highest peak in central Switzerland. One can reach these snow clad mountains on a trolley. Here you may play in the snow and visit the Ice Grotto. On the top of Mt Titlis summit station, one may even enjoy rides like ice-flyer.
Shahrukh Khan fans will be more than happy to visit here as the place showcases banners of him with Kajol.
Other must see sights include the Rhine waterfall. You will also find loads of stand-alone houses here. Otherwise Switzerland is so beautiful that you will hardly wish to visit any museum or entertainment zone.
The place is also famous for cow bells and dairy products.
Venice is the city on water and the only mode of transportation here is boats. This beautiful place will surely remind you of the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno once you go for a Gondola ride here, which is a must do . St Mark Square is famous for its live shows, shops and pigeons.
Italian pizzas are undoubtedly the best in the world. The place is also famous for one of the seven wonders of the world – the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Colosseum and its spectacular fountains especially, The Trevi Fountain.
When in Milan, a must do is a walk down the Via Monte Napoleone, home to the best designers in the world. This street is one of the most up-to-the- second strips in Europe , an absolute shopping delight for the fashionistas.
If you think this is all about Eupore, then you are wrong. It’s just that you need more than 15 days to see more places. Bon Voyage peeps!
