I was just there a few weeks ago, and it is absolutely beautiful. The people are very friendly and most people I ran into spoke at least some English. I would recommend going to Lake Bled, Ljubljana, and Piran, which is on the coast and looks like an Italian village. <br />I also wanted to say that I have been reading your blog for a few months now, and I love it, both as a fellow European traveler and budding historian who wants to live in Europe!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05970381560160242205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-70181970928129482142015-06-14T23:44:36.233-04:002015-06-14T23:44:36.233-04:00Spend a weekend in Ibiza.

I took a side trip there from Portugal last August just so I could say I had danced in the clubbing Capitol of the world. Kind of neat for a California girl to be able to say that.<br /><br />Enjoy!blankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680281221502049334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-32525896290378229832015-06-14T00:07:09.623-04:002015-06-14T00:07:09.623-04:00My favourite city in Europe is Copenhagen -- I stu...My favourite city in Europe is Copenhagen -- I studied there on exchange, and absolutely fell in love! Gorgeous canals, the Little Mermaid, and Tivoli Gardens (which inspired Walt Disney to create Disney World). There are also so many charming little cafes, bars and boutique stores. You should definitely add it to your list!<br /><br /><a href="www.obiterdarling.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">- Obiter Darling</a>Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13006452461896174438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-40649870215346954852015-06-13T03:00:53.058-04:002015-06-13T03:00:53.058-04:00I definitely agree, Brussels is a great city to vi...I definitely agree, Brussels is a great city to visit. But yes, you really need recommendations because there are so many lovely things to do here, but also a lot you can avoid. But it's nice in that even in the touristy centre (where we live) there are so many great restaurants and bars, if you just know which ones to choose.<br /><br />If you have more time, you should definitely try and see Gent, Bruges, and/or Antwerp. They are all great cities with their own plus-points, but I'm bias to Gent as my favourite due to my Gent-born boyfriend :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-20962320582627774912015-06-12T06:50:17.953-04:002015-06-12T06:50:17.953-04:00I second the Nordics!

We just did the Zagreb and central coast (Trogir, Sibenik, Split, Plitvice, Krka, island hopping) but would have loved to have made it to Istria and to Dubrovnik. We rented a small boat in Trogir for about $100 USD and had a whole day to cruise around the islands. I'm sure you could do this at lots of places along the coast - highly highly highly recommended! When we were there last fall there was a lot of flooding, so much of Plitvice and Krka were closed, which was a bummer. Still absolutely stunning, but we should've researched better so we knew exactly what was open and how to make the most out of our visit. <br /><br />and thank you for all of your travel guides! Can't wait to get back to Europe, hoping to visit London in the Fall :-)Jamie7https://www.blogger.com/profile/12847994685162706130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369547557247475858.post-74943715602642149732015-06-11T09:50:31.711-04:002015-06-11T09:50:31.711-04:00I spent a week in Dubai in May and it is a great p...I spent a week in Dubai in May and it is a great place to visit! If you go there, try a desert safari (not for the faint-hearted though!), go to the souq (like the spice souq), go on the Burj Khalifa and enjoy a bit of shopping :) I never kissed the Blarney stone either (the queue was insane!) but it's definitely a beautiful castle/ ruin to visit nevertheless - there's more to it than the stone! If you come back to Ireland give Cork, Limerick, Kilkenny and Galway a try - there's more than just Dublin :) I can also really recommend a trip to Glasgow & Edinburgh in Scotland.

(not biased at all, no I'm not at all from Brussels how dare you even suggest it!) but no seriously if you decide to go I have so many tips because it's not the 'easiest' city, it takes a bit of insider knowledge to make the most of it, in my humble opinion.

I love Stockholm, my current home town in Sweden, but my heart will always be in Helsinki were I’m borne. Tallinn in Estonia is also really pretty. The best time to visit is in the summer! <br />Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220664519061445122noreply@blogger.com
