Hey! Looking for advice or reccomendations on where to stay/what to see/do for my trip this May. We are going to London, Holland, Barcelona, France, Italy, and potentially Germany? Oh and Iceland for one day.
Tell me the best spots to shop, tour, eat, what cities are must sees? Any advice will help!

Park Guell was one of the best parts of our visit to Barcelona https://www.parkguell.cat/en/
In iceland, skip the blue lagoon (it should be called the tepid lagoon) and go to their public pools instead. They have live DJ's & bands performing at the pools sometimes on the weekends. We rented a car and explored and everywhere we went was very beautiful.
In germany, we enjoyed a day exploring the rhine from Manz to Cologne, and also the historic town of Freiburg. there is a ferry that goes up and down the rhine, so you can see all the castles.

Pools in May? Is it not a bit cold for that?

no iceland is very warm, it's windy but the water is so hot, it's perfect. They have hot tubs of varying temperatures. We went in February and we went to a pool almost every day we were there.

How long are you planning on staying in each country?

We only have a month total, so not very long!

they also do tours in London, Paris Berlin, I only found out about them once I was in Barcelona but a great way to familiarize yourself with the city and get some local info on what else to do there.

Hey Madi!
London:
Go to Blacklock in Soho for dinner -- no reservations unless it's before 6 pm. REALLY good.
Check out the Borough Market or Camden Market if you want to see local food and shops and all of the goodies that come with that, great places for a cheap lunch, too.
Walk around the streets of Westminster (go to Peggy Porschen's bakery if you want a treat), check out Soho.
If you have a few days in London -- go see Les Miserables or a different play if there's one you like. West End theatre is AMAZING.
France:
Paris!!!!:
- Frenchie (restaurant)
- Rosemary (restaurant, if it's open?)
- find BORDIER butter and get a baguette from a GOOD bakery, eat both together (or separate haha)
- Try to give yourself time to check out the Canal St. Martin and area -- many cool shops, some AMAZING cheese shops.
- The Louvre is pretty cool if I'm honest, so is the Musee D'orsay
- Walk through the Tullieries Gardens
- WALK the champs elysees
- go to Le Bon Marche and La Grand Epicerie: One of the biggest, coolest department stores... EVER... and the grand epicerie has everything food related you can think of (bordier butter hint hint), the lower level has a wine bar that serves small plates and an AMAZING wine store that's worth checking out just for the architecture (and samples)
- The Luxembourg Gardens, Sorbonne area, and the entire boardwalk of the seine in both directions is awesome.
*** Go for Steak Frites at Le Relais De L'entrecote ***
Other France:
Epernay is cool if you like champagne, I've heard great things about Lyon, and many great things about the entirety of the south of France (Marseilles, Nice, and area)
Italy:
- Limit Venice to 2 days, if you go at all
- Florence is bae.
Florence and Tuscany:
Florence!
- So many things to do here, it's a wonderful city just to walk around
- CLIMB the duomo -- the view is worth it, the climb is cool, the view of the top of the cupola INSIDE the church is insane
- Check out
Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina -- they're opening a new restaurant as well, this is a wine bar that keeps bottles on nitrogen taps so they stay fresh, and as such serve all sorts of rare vintages. The food here is absolutely stunning and the vino is great.
- Check out La Prosciutteria for a PORCHETTA sandwhich to die for.
- Take a day trip to: Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, do a wine tour
- The Ponte Vecchio (gold bridge) is a stunning place for pictures, people watching, or a little bit of jewelry shopping -- it's in the dead center of Florence so chances are you'll see it.
- The Uffizi Gallery: 'nough said
- *** Piazalle Michelangelo **** -- google this. Great place for sunset
sorry I got lazy. Lots more info that I'll try to write to you later hahaha.
The Blue Lagoon in Iceland is a great way to end your trip, rejuvenate, kill jet lag

Portabello Market @ Notting Hill is another huge outdoor market
. We just had to walk across Abbey Road
. The locals don't appreciate it, but I'm happy we did it. Best suggestion: wear comfortable shoes

We loved the Churches in Barcelona and we liked Park Guell. We did tours but others we ran into really enjoyed the Hop on Hop off. We also liked going to Monserrat by train for the day. In France we went to Nice and a day trip to Monaco which is great if you are close by. Italy was amazing. We enjoyed Florence and Rome Especially but we did see other parts.

If in Germany, I really like Munich. They have walk up tours near the old town hall. You pay and go, Dachau was one offered there as well as city tours. The residenz was really cool. As for eats I really enjoyed the hoffbrauhaus. It also has a bit of history to it

Just got home on Friday from London and Iceland. We've been to London numerous times and always enjoy Camden - the Lock Market is great for food vendors and local shops. The pubs in Camden are great. This trip we visited Hampton Court Palace and it was awesome! If you want a taste of local living, stay in a borough outside of Central London and check out the local pubs quiz night - usually on a Wednesday or Thursday and is always a great time. We've seen a few shows in West London but Wicked has been my favourite so far. I've heard a lot of great reviews on The Book of Mormon but have yet to check it out . If you're looking for an easy itinerary app for most major cities in Europe download Visit a City. It maps your entire itinerary using local transport so it's most efficient with your time in each city. Iceland was great! We only had one day there too. But stayed in Keflavik instead of Reykjavik to save cash and time. We stayed at Hotel Keflavik and it was good - free breakfast. We checked out the Blue Lagoon and wished we had more time there . Splurge for the Premium ticket, the cost is worth skipping the line.

Barcelona- one of my favorite cities. Checkout Sagrada Familia but go later in the day. Sunlight coming through the stain glass is amazing. Explore the Bari Gothic but stray away from La Ramblas. Checkout the market if you are a foodie. There is a stretch just up from Las Ramblas on a road called Cataluyna Ramblas that was lots of restaurants and a good NH Hotel.

La port dorée in Paris was was a wonderful hotel they upgraded our room for free, and it was so close to train, with really helpful friendly staff.

Sorrento with a day trip to the Amalfi Coast to visit Positano, Amalfi and Ravella. Pompeii is not far since you are likely already in Naples.
