i've never been to europe, but would love to go some day.
if you need to go on a budget you should check out a PBS program done by rick steves.
they're up on hulu (
edit: available only in the U.S.) & he has
a site as well. he also has
group tours, if that's what your interested in.
he covers places to see, where to stay & how to avoid crowds. he even did a 3 part travel skills special at the end of season one.
he's put out a ton of guide books &
this one on how to get around europe if you have limited mobility.
note: a couple of the places he goes to in the series are closed now. like the visitors center at the waterford crystal factory, so
do your research before you go.
note to the moderator: i'm not sure how many tags i should put on this since the show covers
a lot of places and info. feel free to add any you think are necessary.
