I am thinking to travel to Europe, which countries in Europe are worth visiting ?

Question

in terms of (1) scenery (2) architecture

Answer 1

Depends on (1) what type of scenery you like, and (2) what type of architecture you like.

I like (1) Norway for scenery, and (2) Amsterdam for architecture.

I would be very interested to see that new, 5th UK country that the first answer refers to.

Answer 2

I agree with the Czech Republic.

The architecture is phenomenal, especially in Prague, Kutna Hora, and Cesky Krumlov. The scenery (especially when traveling from Prague to KH or CK is beautiful as well). Also, it's a fairly inexpensive country; Euros aren't used--Czech Crowns are.

The architecture is mainly Gothic/medieval and 18th century. Pretty much all of the buildings are stone or stucco, but everything is painted in bright colors or has frescos. The scenery has rolling green hills and villages---but not as many forests as say, New England. That's probably why the houses were made of stucco (lack of wood). Since the Vlatava (Moldau) River runs through the country, you can see it in many major cities.

Answer 3

If you want to visit Europe inexpensively, focus on Eastern Europe. Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, or Estonia are all good inexpensive choices, and easy to travel in. You don't have to be scared of Morocco or Egypt. Both have large tourist industries, and they are safe countries for visitors. Morocco's souks (traditional market districts) are some of the most colorful in the world, and whether you like to buy handicrafts or just experience a culture that is very different, they are fascinating. Morocco also has some of the best examples of Islamic architecture, and has mountains and the Sahara desert. Egypt has the Pyramids of course, and many other ancient sights and souks. The biggest problem for visitors to those countries is people constantly hassling you to buy things, use them as a guide, or come into a store.

Answer 4

All of the European countries are really worth a visit, but to answer your 1. question I suggest all the Scandinavian countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and of course Iceland (a country that is always forgotten, because it´s so far away).

Regarding your 2. question I recommend: (sorry they are not in any alphabetical order, just cities that came to my mind)

Prague, Cheque Republic
Budapest, Hungary
Madrid, Barcelona, Spain
St.Petersburg, Russia
Athens, Greece
Munich, Berlin, Germany
Rome, Italy

Well the list could go on and on because there is just so much to see in every country. Enjoy your visit whatever you choose and have a nice summer.

Answer 5

Austria, Italy, Germany (partially) great for both
Scandinavia great scenery
France and Spain also very interesting - have both a lot of modern architecture

Answer 6

1) UK (all 5 countries ... provided you don't go broke!)

2) Czech Republic in particular Prague

3) Hungary

4) Italy in particular Rome and region of Tuscany

5) Germany: Munich and region of Bavaria

Answer 7

If you're looking for both architecture and scenery, I'd say:

Italy - architecure > scenery
France - architecure = scenery
Germany - architecure < scenery
