if New York can die so can London

Paris is shit

Paris is amazing. best city in Europe apart from London obviously.

Respectfully sir i disagree

i always advise people, specially if they're american, if you are doing europe stick with london and paris. avoid barcelona, avoid berlin, avoid amsterdam, dont go to croatia it's full of australians, dont go anywhere they speak german, dont go anywhere east of italy unless it's athens

@linebaugh go to napoli, make it the first place you go to. it's the ideal first impression of europe, its nothing like the rest, it's way more gnarly and hectic. everywhere else will make more sense if you throw yourself in at the deep end. particularly orderly northern europe. you've got to see what it defined itself against

 

[shakahislop]

go to marseille too. they're kind of partners.

Amsterdam: great art, great parks, mushrooms, hideously strong weed, terrible coffee shops playing rubbish music, 10/10

Barcelona is ruined by tourists now sadly but Paris is so dull

I think the problem you have as the American tourist is that you get recommended the boring gaffs because oh culture when really the centres of London and Paris are stripped of everything real & you have to go the fringes to feel anything. Not that I've been the banlieues but central Paris is pretty dull i think

I would say a Cadiz/Malaga/Sevilla in late Spring, Berlin the same, Dam is a tough one as there's still something good there but also a million shit stags, I like Mallorca/Menorca a lot but its more chilled seafood vibes

Milan is good but its dirty, Venice stinks stay away from that

I am a bit jealous of the Azores person that's on the list, is it like Madeira? That was great

Never go Malta

Munich: very green, very wealthy, best modern art museum, a very very good old art museum, lots of beer places, pigs trotters, 10/10

 

[shakahislop]

don't go to rome or florence. don't go to barcelona. don't go to edinburgh

 

[Corpsey]

Budapest: went there when it was very cold and very hot, interesting museums, good places to get drunk in-between tower blocks, beautiful river, scary strip clubs, 10/10

i would avoid the trampy places they're trying to send you too personally. you can just go to the third world if youre into all that.

 

[shakahislop]

don't go to ireland

 

[Corpsey]

Rome: the Sistine chapel, Berninis in the villa Borghese, it's got to be done hasn't it? 10/10

 

[luka]

Rome looks exhausting. everywheres going to be boring if he goes in winter though. he might as well stay at home.

 

[Corpsey]

Florence: very very hot when I went, preferred it to Rome, beautiful place, beautiful people, pipe shops, Michelangelo tomb, uffizi gallery, ice cream etc. 10/10

 

[shakahislop]

go to bordeaux and montpellier. don't go to geneva.

 

[Corpsey]

Best time to go to Rome/Florence would be Feb/march I'd say. Can be quite warm at that time but not horribly hot and won't be full of tourists.

 

[luka]

florence is terrible. african men aggressively trying to sell you belts.

 

[shakahislop]

go to copenhagen to see if you actually like orderly socialism

 

[Corpsey]

Lisbon: went on my own, ate a lot of great food (but it was recommended to me), stayed in digital nomad air BnB, enemy of the people, lots of hills, red roofs, home of a religious epiphany 10/10
