Best for what? The churches, the ruins, the food, the culture, the antiquities, the art, the museums, the nightlife, the landscape, the wine, the hash bars, the what?

And similar numbers who have survived without leaving the village, but don't you find that travel expands your mind? It's my belief that Americans should visit countries where they don't know the language and the customs are a bit strange. We are so provincial in that our country is so big and homogenized, we tend to get caught with tunnel vision.

"What are the must-see cities in Europe and why?"
As someone who's travelled extensively in other parts of the world as well as Europe, I would say that the absolute must-sees in Europe are London, Paris, and Rome. Those three cities played a huge role in European history and culture, and contain many of the greatest works of art and architecture. There are many other wonderful places in Europe, and there's a lot more to Europe than major cities, but those three are in a class by themselves. |

"Drewsie" wrote in message oups.com... What are the must-see cities in Europe and why? If you've never been to Europe then every major city is pretty much a "must-see". So what you do is get a map of Europe, hang it on the wall, get a dart, close your eyes and throw the dart towards the map. Wherever the dart lands is the next "must see" city for you in Europe. Believe it or not, I did this, almost, when I first went to Europe many many years ago. My random choice happened to be Munich, serendipitously. Since then, I have been to many other cities in Europe and they're all "must sees" in one way or another. |

I like Milano. The Central Station alone is worth going there. Built
by Mussolini, it is a monument to his vision of a reborn Italy. It is majestic, cavernous and regal. It is one of the best stations in Europe. La Scala is also impressive as is the Cathedral. There's the Last Supper and a slew of world class restaurants serving typical Milanese cuisine. It's also a great jumping off point for Switzerland , Bergamo, Como and other places for the day. But my main favorite is the main station. On Tue, 26 Apr 2005 23:08:32 +0200, nitram wrote: On Tue, 26 Apr 2005 21:24:43 +0100, "Miss L.

I haven't been to Milan since 1996, the last time I was paid to go there. The idea of going there for a holiday is laughable. |
