Euro-cstasy

From Amsterdam to Zadar, from Beethoven to Van Gogh, Europe is filled with little symphonies which tickles the minds of all ages. Every time, you visit a certain destination you are convinced that this should be on the top of your list of things to cherish for life; only to be strike-out a few days later, as something else tops the list.
Watching the breathtaking landscapes of the Swiss and the Majestic Roman remains, you are going to witness the beauty of the almighty and his subordinates. From, walking down the streets of Champs-Elysees in Paris, to enjoying a Gondola ride in Venice, zipping past in the fastest train, through the tunnels in Switzerland, and paragliding above the lakes of Interlaken, you will experience, not just the view, instead submerge yourselves in those small moments of ecstasy. It’s an experience that would last for your life time. Assured those captured moments can go viral, instagramming and whatsapping, your friends and colleagues about the trip and making them envious.

Pisa

If incase during your trip, If you missed this one, then you just dropped the ball. This tower is famous for two reasons; one because Galileo dropped a ball here (literally) to prove a theory and the other, because it stays intact, even though it’s leaning at an angle of around 4 degrees, which was never intended to. Always worth a shot, to shoot for selfie at a tilting angle, just enough to tip you off.

Paris

Always being expressed as a romantic city is so a cliché. Paris is more than just the romance, the city inherits this multitudes of emotion, which only gets better, every time you step in. The magnificent steel rods intersecting each other, stand tall, enacting the wonders man could create; the Eiffel Tower. Paris is the epicenter for fashion and art. The Louvre museum exhibits the most massive collection of arts ever seen in the history of mankind. The striking of them all is the “Mona Lisa” by Da Vinci. The jaw-dropping artworks across the hall, at the ceilings, at every corner, depicts vast collection, which is just a mundane feature, at this arena while you exit. If you would like to add value to their economy and make you peers jealous, it’s the best place to grab one of those designer brands at astronomical prices. From Chanel to Louis Vuitton, the most famous street for upscale shopping can be found at Champs-Elysees. The night life is dynamic as seen from the Arc de Triomphe.

Switzerland

Not for cheese, not for chocolates, not even for that dingle-donging bells on the cow’s collar, but for those tall, divine mountains and the surrounding landscapes, that surrounds this beautiful country. The recent addition to this list, is the banks, for stashing too much money from people abroad, but what’s the point if you don’t use them.
Jungfrau (the virgin lady) stands tall at around 4000 m high, a few meters taller than Mt. Titlis, when you reach the top, you have the bird’s eye view of the world that surrounds it. You can now declare that you are on top of the world and this tagline goes best with that Instagram post of yourselves.
It’s breathtaking, when you are on top of these Mountains. After an exhausting trip, you could sip some chai at the exit and some Indian snacks, which has been expanding, as more and more people flock here to leave their footprints at these heavenly mountains.

Venice

This city might look like it has been flooded, but all for the good reasons. Venice is famous for its Gondola ride, where you can snail through those muddy waters and enjoy the colorful view around. The city is been bombarded with tourists for this unique feature. Listed as the most interesting and lovely place to visit, Venice is one of the UNESCO world heritage property.

Vienna

Ranked consecutively for many years as the most livable place on earth, exclusively for the high quality of life, this city affords. The cultural, economic and the political center of Europe, Vienna can’t be missed at any cost. Vienna known as the “City of dreams” not because it fulfills your weird fantasy, but for the man who dug your dreams and discovered a world of new science with it, Sigmund Freud. Host to many International organizations (UN) and their events, the city is also a focal point for caffeine addicts. The city brews the best coffee and while taking a sip, you can enjoy both worlds, the inner and the outer.

Rome

No matter how many days you are going to spend here, it’s never enough. Rome is my personal favorite, because of its vast monuments that keep turning up every corner of the city. The list goes on; the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican, the Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps. You will never get tired of exploring this city, if you are a lover of art and architecture and of course the food too, this is where the trip will never come to an end. You will be dazzled by the works of one of the greatest artists ever to be lived, Michelangelo. His sculptures and his paintings at the Vatican (which is not far away from Rome) is a testament of his works.

Budapest

This name arises from the union of two cities, located on the either sides of the Danube river, Buda and Pest. A bustling capital town of the Hungary, not far away from Vienna, so better you check this one out. The best way to explore is to hop-on to one of those several tour buses and prepare yourself to knockout anywhere you like. You can’t miss the Heroes square, a large monument dedicated in memory of the heroes who gave their lives for the freedom of the Hungarian people, while roaming around the city. If you climb up the Gellert hill, then you can have the glimpse of the entire city, watching Danube flow under the bridge, and the Parliament building illuminated beautifully, standing aloof from the rest.
