European Tour

I would recommend going to less places and spending more time in a place. You can't get to know a place in just one day.

Florence: the most famous museums have hour long lines. Buy tickets days in advance or go an hour before closing time, lines have disappeared, plus the Uffizi and the Galleria del'Academia are not that large actually. Michelangelo's David is at the Galleria. As far as statues are concerned there is no need to see artworks by other artists: they are all so obviously inferior in talent to Michelangelo, I felt bad for them.

Paris: French and former Parisian here, please do not think negatively or positively of my country from two days in Paris: this place is only representative of itself and not at all of the diversity of France (the country is rather large).

Sept. 17-18 are the European Heritage Days: access is often possible in places that are normally not open to the public. Lines though. Use your google-fu, each country is supposed to have a website about these days.

You're missing La Mercè in Barcelona. Why u no go to Barcelona?

Check out fest300.com to find out if there's a seasonal event in the places you're going.

Have a nice trip!

Fest300.com sounds like a great place to start

Seeing Michelangelo's work was honestly not something I even thought of
Definitely going to check out as many of your suggestions as I can!

and thank you!


As a side note: this is a tour with Contiki as I have no confidence in traveling alone as of yet. they dont have Barcelona on the itineraryfor this one.

Have you booked and commited to this particular contiki yet?

If you're deadset on doing a Contiki, maybe pick one of the slower paced ones that spends 2 nights in each city. On this, you only spend 2 nights in Rome and Paris. You're gonna spend half this tour on a bus.

If youre traveling the Rhine valley you will end up in Cologne right? We have much Roman architecture, especially in the Roman-Germanic museum. If you want to see more of the nightlife you either have the Hipster area Ehrenfeld or Neustadt-Süd where all the bars for students are.

>1 day per city
>8 countries in 13 days

All you're going to be doing is sitting in a bus and getting loaded off in front of a sight for a couple of minutes every now and then.
