So, as it turns out, I have enough air miles to file to Europe in October. I would be traveling between October 15th and October 26th or so. So, where should I go?

I voted based on where I would want to go out of those places.

Definitely do not go to Milan. It has very little of interest to a tourist.

If I were traveling to Europe, I would definitely go to Eastern Europe, but that's my bias! :D

good to know about milan!

i guess the reason i'm picking places in the south is because of the time of year i would be traveling. i did go to budapest in 2009 and would love to go to bucharest though.

I've been to Bucharest, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you have a particular interest in Romania.

In your position, I would go to Bosnia, Albania, and Croatia, I think. But traveling in the Balkans can be rough going, it would definitely depend on what you're up for.

the reason i'd want to visit romania is because it's supposedly the most beautiful of all the eastern european countries.

i'm pretty adventurous, but since i usually travel alone, i try to be cautious too, if that makes sense. warnings of pickpockets and that kind of thing doesn't bother me, but outbreaks of violence do.

I'd add Berlin in there, because I'd like to visit. But I'd like to visit basically everywhere, too, so the places you've listed sound amazing.

i went to munich in 2009, but for some reason germany just doesn't interest me much. i don't know why.

I absolutely love southern Spain because I've always had a thing for Islamic architecture. The Mosque of Cordoba is an amazing building and totally worth the visit. There isn't that much to the rest of Cordoba, though, but Sevilla's not far away and is a wonderful city. Granada and the Alhambra are also amazing but in the opposite direction.

ebcdic February 16 2011, 01:21:01 UTC

yes, that's why i've wanted to go there too! i really loved the islamic architecture in northern india.
