Top 10 Favourite Trips To Europe

One of the main reasons I moved over to London was to be close to Europe and spend my time traveling. I think I’ve done a pretty good job of using my annual leave, bank holidays and weekends to see as much as I can. After visiting 22 different countries in Europe its pretty hard to narrow it down to just 10.

  1. Russia

Before moving over to Europe I had never really considered Russia as a top destination but after hearing a friend rave about her fantastic time there and being tempted by a cheap EasyJet flight I was keen to check it out. Six days and two Russian cities later I had had a trip of a lifetime with six other girlfriends. Moscow and St Petersburg were so different to the rest of Europe, with amazing history and culture. If its not already – put it on your to do list.

Ladies in Lake Como

If you are looking for a nice place for a girly weekend away to Europe, I highly recommend Lake Como. A friend of mine, Vanessa, had spent a week in Italy and so the rest of us decided to join her for her final weekend and spend three days relaxing in the Italian sun and eating and drinking to our hearts content.

We decided to stay in Varenna one of the little villages on the side of Lake Como. Once we arrived at our airbnb flat and looked out the window we instantaneously relaxed. It was such a beautiful view it’s hard to think about anything else but the blue water, cool breeze and sunshine.

Weekend in Venezia

With the makings of a tradition James and I headed to Italy for the first bank holiday in May. Last year we had been to Cinque Terre to spent 3 days devouring pizza, pasta and pesto in the sunny seaside. This time we headed to the seaside again but this time on the opposite side of Italy in one of the more famous cities – Venice.

I had been to Venice previously on my Topdeck Adventures however most of the time was spent wandering the streets hungover after an epically crazy toga party. This time I was glad to be actually seeing much of the city sans headache.

La Bella Cinque Terre

It has been a few months since James and I had seen each other due to his adventure in Japan so when he said he was coming over for a visit at the end of April I was extremely excited. We planned a few days out in London as well as a trip to somewhere I have been wanting to go for ages – Cinque Terre. Five villages on the coast of Italy that are famous for the wine and pesto!
