JasonWhit Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 try out Nice and Cannes in France. topless beaches and a sweet ass city to boot. i don't know what to do in switzerland in summer though, other then get drunk and impress girls on how your from the USA. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.T Boy Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 be in swiss for aug 1. big party. theres some good festivals this summer, roskilde in denmark should be off the hook, same with splash in germany. go to italy, milan has good clubs, and rome is a party. dont spend too long in ams, youll blow all your cash.

gfreshsushi Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 avoid museums at all costs. you see a hell of a lot more wandering around the streets while totally loaded at 3am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.T Boy Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 this is true, try to get as dunk as possible on the cheapest liquor money can buy, and wander all night. get lost, its way more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I'd love to go to Amsterdam. sadangry, you should check out Scotland and Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Amsterdam is sleazy as fuck, I'd say it's missable. Go to delft if you want a cultural experience, amsterdam if you want debauchery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadangry Posted May 22, 2004 Author Share Posted May 22, 2004 ^well im a young lady traveling by myself so I may skip amsterdam. I havent really made any plans, i just bought a ticket to london cuz that was the cheapest ticket i could find, and i prbly will only spend a day there and head out. I figured i would just see what other people had to say, because ive never been out of the US. Thanks people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.T Boy Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 if you wanna someweedz legally, go to a smaller dutch city like rotterdam or eindhoven, theyre alot more chilled out. and not so many dude bros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbian bum Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Make sure you go to italy. Dont try to see all the tourist attractions and museums, most of them (not all) are a waste of money. Dont try to cram too many things into one trip. Its cooler to hang out in one city for like a week than see 5 cities in one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_b0b Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 You lot dismissed A'dam too quick. It ain;t just the fucking red light district and coffee shops. Go explore the place and avoid the red ligth district at night and you'll be fine. It is a city like none you'd find in America. BArcelona does deserve a visit too.

Joker Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Originally posted by b0b You lot dismissed A'dam too quick. It ain;t just the fucking red light district and coffee shops. Go explore the place and avoid the red ligth district at night and you'll be fine. It is a city like none you'd find in America. Agreed. Americans think that all there is to Amsterdam is "Coffee" shops and working ladies. When in fact there are maybe a handful of said coffee shops and one street is dedicated to the Red light ladies. That leaves a whole city to discover. The architecture is amazing. How the buidings are still standing is beyond me. Every single one of them is tipping this way or that way, and looks to be falling over. Tons of cool shops, there's a great street market over by Rembrant's house, and I would go to the art museums if you have the loot and the time. If you're an artist yourself. Trust me, it's worth it. If your going to be there between the 25th and the 30th of June, let me know. I'm having an art show there on the 30th at this little clothing store spot. I can give you all the details. Never been to Belgium but I'm going this summer as well. Everyone I've talked to said it's amazing. Brugges is worth the whole trip alone. I just met this guy from Australia who said he saw the most amazing Graffiti there. Was completely blown away. The other places you mentioned should be amazing as well. You'll have a great time...

T=E=A=S=E Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 ive heard scotland is really nice / beautiful. good friend of mine went recently and loved it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekro Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Don't try to see everything, it is, as suburban said, much more fun to chill out in one city for a week than to try to see five cities in a week. I probably didn't give amsterdam a fair shake, it is a beautiful and very tidy city with lots of art. If you want to go to belgium, go to brugges. It's this smal medieval city that had a 500 year economic slump so all the buildings are super old. They have ridiculously good chocolate and waffles for cheap, and everyone speaks english there. You NEED to go to paris, end of story. Try not to look like a tourist. Don't wear jeans, forget fannypacks, and use a messenger bag instead of a backpack. Attempt to speak local languages, even if it's just a little bit, and people will be nice to you. Don't be loud or pushy. If you follow these tips the locals will be 100% more helpful and friendly to you. Before you go you should pick up some guidebooks. I reccomend reading Rick Steves' Europe Through The Back Door before you go, and picking up his guidebooks to everywhere you plan to go. Frommers is good too. These books will also help you find good cheap hotels (especially rick steves). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
