If you have the chance to visit Europe, where would you go first?

If I have enough money to visit Europe, I would love to visit Italy first. Italy is such a fascinating and romantic place with its old buildings. I also dream of sampling authentic Italian cuisine right off the streets of Florence. You, where do you want to go if you happen to be in Europe?

If I had a chance, I would like to visit Scotland, I heard that the culture there is fantastic and cool. Guys wearing skirts seems extraordinary and moreover, the scenery there are beautiful. Therefore I really would like to take a look at the place. But I think I will need a translator to go with as their slang is very much different from what I heard from people.

Scotland is very beautiful, but not all the men wear kilts all the time you know As regards tounderstanding them, sometimes we English feelwe need subtitles when it is somebody with a strong Scottish accent talking. But I would certainly recvommend a vist - it is a wonderful place.

If and if I have the chance to visit Europe, I thought about going to the same place as you which is in Italy, one particular city or now the smallest independent country located in Rome,Italy which is Vatican City .. As a Catholic, I really like to visit where the Pope resides. I want to see St. Peter's Square and the rest of the places in Vatican such as Vatican Gardens, Museum , everything. It would really be a religious achievement for me.

I live in Europe and am a very keen traveler. I have already visited many of the countries in Europe. If I could go back to Italy I would love to visit Rome, Florence and the Naples Riviera. I would pop over to the islands in that region like Capri. It would be lovely to pop down to Sicily and visit a few of the smaller islands near to it. I have already been to Venice which I adored seeing and to Sardinia which I found charming. One day I would love it if could do a circle tour independently of Iceland. A friend went there and I saw some amazing photos.

That is a very good question, hard to answer. I have been to many countries in Europe. Every country is very beautiful and very unique in many ways, scenically, historically, traditionally. But, one country which I feel like visiting again and again is Switzerland, so scenic and so beautiful. To me, the Swiss Alps has no comparison.

I've been dying to go to France. I want to see the Eiffel Tower and Musee du Louvre. I've even studied French just in case.

Paris is one of my favourite citys but I do think that the Eiffel Tower is very over hyped!

Living in the UK I have visited most places in Europe and Italy certainly is a beautiful place. I have had a couple of lovely holidays on Lake Como - a lovely place with some really beautiful little villages dotted along the lake. One of my most memorable holidays was the two weeks I spent in the Bay of Naples. We fitted so much in to the 14 days we were there, it was an incredible holiday. We visited the fantastic Pompeii ), we climbed to the top of Vesuvius, we visited Herculaneum, Capri, Sorrento, Naples and had an incredible couch journey around the Amalfi Coast. Tha Amalfi Coast ( la Costiera Amalfitana) in Campania, is on the Sorrento peninsula south of the Bay of Naples, it runs for 50 kilometres from Positano in the west to Vietri Sul Mare in the east. Positano itself is an utterly charming little seaside town with its cafes, fish restaurants, leather shops and rocky beach - look up the mountain from the beach and you see a clutch of little houses huddled together all up the cliff - each one cascading with colourful flowers. Our trip around the coast was, at times, very hair raising as we turned the tight corners seemingly hanging over the edge of the mountain.The incredible route wound its way past the hundreds of lemon trees that grow in the area, fig trees, olive groves and vineyards and we looked down the rugged cliffs that plunge straight to the sea at all the tiny villages that are located precariously above the sea on the mountains. Every turn you make on the meandering coastal road brings you to another lovely little village - Positano, Sorrento, Ravello or Amalfi itself. I have not visited Florence, but it is on my 'to do' list - I also love Greece and the Greek islands - they are stunning.

Wow! I have always wanted to see the Amalfi Coast. I've heard that this place is really beautiful and the beaches are awesome. I would love to see this place one of these days. Thanks for the post.

I have lived and been in Europe loads of times, being European, but I always want to travel more on this lovely continent. Right now, I would like to go to Paris!
