[ntcmpjg]

Well in the 2 short months I have been in Germany I have traveled alot. I have been to Austria, Czech, all over Germany. So my question to my fellow 3000GT people where is the place you want to go the most in Europe I have 5 days of leave coming up next month and I want to see something cool.
Thanks
Jeff

When I was stationed there a few of my favorite trips were to Barcelona, and Croatia (Pula area/peninsula), and Egypt tops my list of best trip thus far in my life - although that was a few years before the 'Arab Spring' events. I also did a lot of snowboarding here and there, and the glaciers are usually open all year round.

You said you've been to Germany, have you visited the Neuschwanstein castle?

[bluefox1081]

- Amsterdam...for obvious reasons, lol.
- And I'd love to go back to Switzerland. It's just such a beautiful country. We went to Lucerne, took a boat ride across Lake Lucerne, to then take a 45deg. train ride up Mt. Pilatus. Got some pretty neat views from up there.
- And I'd give Venice another shot. We only spent a half day there, so we were limited with what we could do. Would've been nice to get some extra time to explore a little more and get away from the heavy traffic touristy areas.
- And I'm sure you've been to Munich, but I would definitely go back there (especially to the Hofbrauhaus). Probably the best city we visited in Germany.

I went there when our trip stopped in Munich. It was definitely one of the more memorable places we visited during the trip...so I'd definitely recommend this.

LOL Yeah Egypt should be crossed off the list. Venice would be my first choice based on location, not too far from Germany. But Rome or Naples would be great too. Spent just a few days in the area a couple years ago on a cruise, it was one of the best trips I've taken, wished we could have stayed longer.

Yea I have been to Munich I cant do the thing everyone goes to Amsterdam for since I'm in the army but still would make a great trip. When I get home I'm going to figure out where to go my bank usaa gives hotel discounts so im set on that I have my wife's Altima Hybird here that thing gets 35+mpg so distance dosent matter to much plus a flight to pretty much anywhere in Europe is cheap

Venice Austria or Italy because I wanted to see the Glock factory near Venice Austria.

Italy.

We're traveling vicariously through you and Megan right now, so EVERYWHERE and take lots of pics. I love seeing little Miss Carlee. Oh...and more pics of cool-ass Harry!!!

[Jimvr4]

It's been a dream of mine to go to Italy and tour Ferrari / Lamborghini. Would also go to Rome, Florence, and Venice. Beautiful places and world class art everywhere.

[AgentOblivious]

If you like art at all, Check out the Galleria Borghese in Rome. Most people go to see Michaelangelo's work, but I find Bernini's sculptures much more interesting. Rome in general is interesting, from the colloseum to the catacombs.

I saw the pic. He is so awesome, tho I hate he had to travel alone. It's such a pain to get animals cleared to travel/live abroad.
When we can afford to do anything, I promised Chris his first overseas trip would be Australia, followed by Ireland. If we're rich by then, we'll make sure to swing by Germany while you guys are there. :biggrin:

[bluefox1081]

Oh, and I don't know if they give public tours or not, but (and it's just a personal interest of mine) I would LOVE to go to the CERN Large Hadron Collider.

[terrets]

Switzerland is fucking gorgeous. Liked the architecture in Italy and the food.

I really want to go to Ireland.

florence. madrid. sicily. paris. brussels. moscow. warsaw. transylvania. athens. london. dublin. reykjavik.

the world is your oyster. pick something you love and go with it. my only advice is to try the LOCAL stuff. if you're in london, you should be drinking CIDER, not BIER.

p.s.

kudos to you for exploring. i haven't done anything at all yet. i'm a bump on a log--too scared of the language barrier to do much. I am determined to go visit some theme parks though.

you can't go to Moscow damn Russians don't let Americans visit as easy as you would think check into that once all ready my wife studied Russian in college. Get out and explore you been here longer then me and haven't done anything yet? Why the worse thing that happens is you piss of some german dude for asking him if he speaks english I have found that most like to talk to us so they can practice there english like we practice our half ass attempted at german with them lol. Legoland was a blast I really felt like a spanish person in disney when they talked because I had no fucking idea what they said or wanted me to do so it was funny watching them get flustered at me lol. The only bad time I have had since I got here was Ikea in Nuremberg they were the rudest people I have ever talked to and raised the price on an item because I didn't speak german little did they know I had my App and check everything before I checked out and told them to shove it up there ass lol.

[CoopKill]

I LOVED Italy, Florence, and Rome were awesome. The food is Epic, and the atmosphere is eye opening to say the least...

Edit: If you like the funky/night life hit Barcelona!

That is so awesome. I have always wanted to learn Russian. Outside of Ireland, it's the other place I want to visit before I die. Hope you can make it and give Megan a chance to dust off her Russian vocab skills!!

Not Amsterdam, YET, right now you're just unable to purchase in the southern border area if you are not registered at said stores. I don't see it happen in Amsterdam in the near future though.

Id go see Rome if i were you or Barcelona.
