Europe Travel Tips
Europe, the museum of western civilization and the cradle of western culture, is not content to rest on its many, many laurels. From the ancient glories of rowdy Rome to the bike-lined canals of Amsterdam; from the sexy and stuffy grandeur of London to the passion and paella of Spain; from sultry Paris to exciting Berlin, Europe is everything you ever thought it was and a whole lot more.
If you're looking to consolidate the well-worn impressions of the European experience you certainly won't be disappointed, but stay on your toes because Europe is changing faster than anyone can imagine - not a bad time to come along for the ride.
