  1. Taking into account that I haven't been to every country in Europe, I have a special fondness for Switzerland and Luxemburg.

    Why Switzerland? It's green and clean, the air is so fabulous (even in the cities!) that I literally feel like a different person after spending a few days there (and when I was on chemo, my blood counts shot up after being there for 2 weeks!), there are great hiking opportunities all over the country (take a cable car up the mountain, walk down - what could be better?), the views are amazing, the public transportation system is excellent, and the people are friendly. What more could I ask for?

    Luxemburg is a tiny country that you can drive across in about an hour. So why I do like it? When you drive through the countryside, there is very quaint architecture - it looks like everyone is living in a mini-castle with turrets! There are castles to visit, including the castle of the Grand Duke - what trip to Europe would be complete without one of those? There is a great butterfly park which we enjoyed, and there are also some nice scenic views. This is a country which you can tour in a day, which leaves you time to see other countries as well...

    I'm sure you will get plenty of other answers, and all are correct, depending on what you're looking for and what you like to do. A few years ago, we went on a five-country tour of Europe, driving around in a rented car and doing what we wanted to do when we wanted to do it. I wish we could do that again in a few more countries. Whichever country you choose, do some research beforehand online so that you don't waste time trying to decide what to do once you're there. Good luck!


  2. My favorite is Norway because my boyfriend is Norse  ;) !

    For the users who wrote about Macedonia : i know from school that Alexander was a Greek, Cleopatra was queen of Egypt and by Greek ancestry (she was the last of the Ptolemies) and Mother Teresa was from Albania.

    The country of Macedonia is a Slavic nation with Slavic background, how all these people can be from this country? And sorry but i don't think that the Slavic languages are the most old , there are much older languages in Europe and in the world. Also , excuse me, but i find it funny to hear that Cleopatra, Alexander the Great and Mother Teresa were speaking the Slavic language (especially the first two).

    Sorry for saying all these but i saw two weird answers and i wanted to write my opinion.

    Norway rulessss !!!!

  3. - Netherlands, completely different than the rest of the world in every way. No mountains, but flat nature with lots of rivers. Old architecture in Amsterdam and modern high rise architecture in Rotterdam. Nice clubbing, nice people.

    - Italy, weather is great most times, beautiful country, beautiful language. So don't wanna go back home if you're there..

    - France, the old European culture in Paris is fascinating! You could also visit the mini state Monaco, in the south of france. Sunny weather, nice clubbing and filled with rich people, very funny to watch..

  4. Romania.  Every time I cross the border into Romania, it feels like home.  Romania also has great diversity in people, climate and lifestyles so there is always something to see and do, even if you're just hanging around your own city or village.  Also, you can walk or take the bus and tram everywhere, so it's easy to get around.

  5. i've never been to a european country but from what my mom has told me i would say italy it just sounds so beautiful.

  6. I don't have one ... I've been to Ireland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark (great fun. WILD people!), Austria, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic .... All were good.  

  7. I'm addicted to Estonia. It's the country of medieval castles, waterfalls,  unique orchids, reach traditions, delicious cuisine, knitted sweaters, bike festivals, starfalls (you can often buy a ticket for a concert of Madonna, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Enrique Iglesias etc.). As an aborigen of this region I claim that it's a paradise for the tourists.

    Welcome to Estonia !

    With best wishes,

    Kristi

  8. Greece,because is just perfect

    edit:

    mother Teresa:

    Agnes Gonxha (Albanian for "rosebud") Bojaxhiu was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje.] She was the youngest of the children of a family from Shkodër, Albania, born to Nikola and Dranafile (Albanian for "rose", nicknamed "Drone") Bojaxhiu. Nikollë was involved in Albanian politics. In 1919, after a political meeting he fell ill and died when Agnes was about eight years old.

    also,Samuil was BULGARIAN,Cleopatra was Egyptian with Greek ancestry and ALexander the Great was Greek.

    The sun gets bright in mountain woods:

    Younder gifts in great profusion

    Richly spread by nature's power.

    See the clear lake stretching white-

    Or bluely darkened by the wind,

    Look you at the plains or mountains:

    Beauty' everywhere divine"....

    Greetings from Macedonia...
