Limited Opportunities

General


Mrs. tea and I have saved for a European trip next autumn and I am hoping this community will have some feedback or ideas.

She has is narrowed down to two options:
1.The UK
2.Paris and Munich (and surrounding areas)

Ten days including travel from the States on either end - it is going to be one or the other - not both.

My interests include history, food, wine, football, spiritual places or
buildings, and amazing architecture – modern and ancient.

This might be our last opportunity to see the world beyond greater teaville.

Thoughts? Thank you in advance 🙂


The UK is a pretty big place, where abouts where you thinking?

Paris isn't anything special imo. Haven't been to Munich.

Did you consider Italy?


Tend to agree with Trev. Italy is great. Also Switzerland.


My limited sense of heritage is my Italian ancestors so yes Italy (and Greece) were on the original list. We have friends in Austria - so yeah. I would love to see Prague and go to Hungary. Barcelona? Yes please.

But resources are limited and choices have to be made.

In the UK I want to see the River Clyde, Anfield, and Snowdonia. She wants to go to London.

If there is a second trip (2025?) - I suspect Switzerland will be on the itinerary.

The smaller towns of France would be good choices. Great food, slower pace lifestyle, and wonderful architecture, without the tourist trap shops and fast pace of a big city like Paris. Béziers, Mérignac, Salon-de-Provence might be good choices.

Take separate trips. Let her go where she wants to go, and if you have Euro roots, maybe visit whatever towns are closest to those roots.

Maybe you'll have something to talk about if/when you meet up again.
