ADD TO LIST
Europe is a land full of history and culture that contains some of the greatest artwork and best preserved medieval (and earlier) buildings in the world. Check out world-famous museums such as the Louvre, Van Gogh Museum, and the British Museum, or be astonished by the architecture of Florence's Duomo. See the walled city of Dubrovnik, Belgium's well preserved Bruges, or Venice with its endless canals. For a look at the beginnings of western civilization, head to Rome or Athens to check out the remaining buildings of great empires. Nature lovers will not be left out either, as one can hike through the Alps (such as the Matterhorn) or go whitewater rafting in Montenegro. See the Northern Lights by going up to Lapland (covering the north of Sweden, Finland, and Norway). Or maybe watch a sunset instead from the spectacular island of Santorini in Greece.
Interested in cultural experiences? Go to Oktoberfest in Munich, the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona or the Edinburgh Festival. Or perhaps catch a game of football in the English Premiership, Spain's La Liga or Italy's Serie A. Looking to relax instead? Go take a thermal bath in Budapest or lie on a beach soaking up the sun in Mallorca or Portugal's Algarve.

06139Having lived in BCN for seven good years, i will need to focus on a few insider tips:
1. Go to Sarria: a former village now enclosed in upper Barcelona. Beautiful, relaxed, few tourists and great bars/restaurants including Bar Tomas, famed for its Patatas Bravas (and little else)
2. For nightlife amongst the locals (and not just the tourists and expats hanging around the old town) go to the area around Maria Cubi and Santalo
3. For a lovely walk overlooking my favourite town take a hike op the hills and walk on the Carretera de les Aigues (busy with locals on Sundays, but always bring your own water) or go for a longer walk in the Parc de Colserola straddling the hills
4. My favourite restaurants: Agua, Barceloneta, Ciudad Condal, La Polpa ... and sooooo many more
5. Summer festival: Grec
