I love to travel in Europe. They all have their special place in my heart.

The fantastic beer and variations across countries. The architecture and languages. The varied cuisine ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ Bikes, weed and shrooms โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Bathing and chilling in the sun. Everywhere is pretty much safe (some exceptions, but in general). The gorgeous rural areas. Wine. People are generally really friendly. People say that Germans and French people don't speak English to them, but that is not my experience, I have yet to meet a single European not go out of their way to help and be nice to me. Some have been in a hurry, but are still nice. Most people tend to appreciate the interest in their culture, their recommendations and their opinions.

I love you all, my fellow Europeans โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ด

As a "Northerner", I have always enjoyed visiting the "Southerners" and what's in between :D

As an Austrian: Italy...but I'm a foodie too. For some reason, I also love the Baltics...amazing craft beers in Estonia.

[โ€“] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 3 points 3 months ago

You just have to climb a mountain and you are already there! So lucky!

Let me just use this opportunity to say, that if I had to pick a place to live in Europe, I would pick Austria <3

[โ€“] Blackout@fedia.io 1 points 3 months ago

I was going to say Austria. You can get an ice cream for breakfast!

[โ€“] gildadriel@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

I'm from the north of Germany originally and I like Denmark / Sweden best.

[โ€“] LinPing1976@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's interesting how much some Germans love to travel to Sweden. If you have't already you should definitely visit Gotland and Stora Karlsรถ. For me it's the closest feeling you get to being abroad while still being in Sweden.

[โ€“] jlow@beehaw.org 3 points 2 months ago

Nice, I haven't been to Gotland yet, thanks for the tip! I think my brother is planning to go on his way to Norway this summer, iirc.

[โ€“] MordercaSkurwysyn@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

Croatia is my all time favourite but I visited Estonia last year and fell in love with the country.

[โ€“] tatann@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Greece is nice, beautiful landmarks/coast, nice weather, museums, ancient ruins/forts, and sorry if it's not PC but greek women... god dayum ๐Ÿฅต

[โ€“] SexDwarf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Austria is just magnificent, but the food... yeah it's food. Italy on the other hand, magnificent AND has great food.

[โ€“] sober_monk@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Austrian confectionery is top notch though!

[โ€“] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

I have always loved France, however Italy has been on my list lately, because I have read so much about Ancient Rome history.

[โ€“] khannie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Well, about 20 years ago, just before we got married, my wife and I decided that we would retire to Italy.

The plan:

  • Spend an entire year touring the country
  • Stop for a week or so at every little place that grabs our fancy
  • At the year end, pick a spot
  • Must include olive tree (my requirement)
  • Profit (measured in quiet retirement that includes trips to the local village for coffee and / or wine and food with visits from children and grandchildren)

Our reason for Italy is fairly straightforward: Love the people, great weather, incredible food, the wine (c'mon), the chill lifestyle, absolutely beautiful country.

[โ€“] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 2 points 3 months ago

As a German probably either France or Italy. I like sunny weather, art and food and both of those tend to deliver on those fronts.

[โ€“] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 3 months ago

@Blaze Haven't really traveled outside that much, but I'd like to visit Amsterdam, Paris, Prague, Budapest and Copenhagen. I'd also like to visit Finland, Sweden and Poland, with more countries to be added to my bucket list (I also have some that are not part of the EU, but I'd like to visit). So far I visited Bulgaria the most (likely will do again this summer as it's quite cheap for me to go there, in Ruse), then Greece, Italy (Naples) and France (it was a small provincial town called Tournon-Sur-Rhone).

we have mountains here so we always went to the mediterranean obviously. a ship cruise and flying would be cool.
