Answer 12

I live in Canada, but Europe may be fun, too!

Answer 13

Are you from the US? If so, Canada is pretty much the exact same. Toronto is like Los Angeles except smaller.

I'd recommend Europe. A lot more history there and more culture. I don't care what anyone says about Canada if you're outside of Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver there really isn't much culture in Canada. There's white and more white.

(Note: I'm a Canadian citizen of 25 years and have traveled to many provinces here and states in the US so I feel safe in saying if you are American, you will basically be visiting little America.)

Answer 14

EUROPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its is amazing and you can go to many other countries than just one!

It was so beautiful.

You can do the following in EUROPE:

In the former category: Rome and Paris. Both of these cities continued to dominate travelers’ itineraries in Europe.

It’s a similar story with London and Florence, both of which maintained their popularity with travelers (and that’s despite the strong pound sterling!). We’re also very pleased to see Granada, Munich and Milan on the list.

And the absences? I’ll admit it, I have a soft spot for Istanbul, Dublin and Madrid. Yet none of these cities made it onto our list. Let’s agree to disagree for the time being.

(We’ll tackle these three cities - and why you should factor them into your 2008 travels - in a future post.) Anyway, enough of the overview let’s get into the winners…

Rome & the Vatican

What were the big surprises in 2006? Certainly the popularity of hop-on hop-off bus tours across Europe. These aren’t every travelers cup of tea, and few people would argue that a hop-on hop-off bus tour will change your life or blow your travel socks off. That said, we were pleasantly surprised by the consistently positive reviews these bus tours received: travelers love the geographical and historical orientation they provide, not to mention the low-cost and easy on, easy off transport the buses offer.

So without further ado, may I have the envelope please, and the winners for 2006 are…

There you have it, Viator’s list of Top 25 Things to Do in Europe for 2006. This list showcases the tours and activities that were most popular on Viator.com in 2006.

And remember: it’s never too early to start planning your next trip to Europe. And as much as we feel passionate about the Top 25 things to do listed above, we also think it’s important to strike off on your own, get off the beaten path, and find a quiet corner of Europe to enjoy.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard is to split your trip in half, mixing a better-known destination or two with something less mainstream. This is doubly true if you’re planning to visit Europe in June, July or August when things are at their busiest.

A good example of this “mixed trip itinerary” are combinations like Italy and Malta, Germany and Poland, England and Scotland, Turkey and Greece, Spain and Portugal, France and Belgium. But as we say at Viator, it doesn’t really matter where you go, just go!
