The world is at my fingertips.. but I don’t know where to go
Hello! This might be a bit long but I would love some travelers advice!!
I’m a 22f traveling to Europe this summer solo. I’ve been thinking about this trip for years, and have some savings for it. The only thing I for sure wanted to see was Auschwitz’s (and maybe Bergen-Belsen? But I can’t seem to figure out the best place to stay at for that so I’m ignoring that for now), and I want beautiful scenery, maybe some hiking? I just want BEAUTY! Where I live is SO FLAT & lacks any beauty.
I’ve already been to the major cities (Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, Prague, Brussels, Rome, Vatican, Pisa, Amsterdam, Monaco, London). I’m not opposed to going back to any of the countries they’re in, but I also want to see new countries.
What I have planned/paid for as of now (that I unfortunately cannot cancel without losing the money)
- Lisbon, Portugal - 4 nights
- Zurich, Switzerland- 2 nights
- Salzburg, Austria- 2 nights
- Krakow, Poland- 3 nights
The more I research, the more I see my mistake spending such little time in Zurich & Salzburg.. but I have 8 nights left to plan before my flight back.
I would greatly appreciate any advice! I am trying to find budget friendly with flights/hotels (think broke, recently graduated college student) so I can spend more on experiences/once I’m there. Thank you in advance and thank you for reading all of this!!!
