Best of Europe



From James Martin, your Guide to Europe Travel
This is going to reach you about the time you're (day)dreaming of kissing everyone near you on New Years Eve (or something) so I'm thinking you might like to be distracted from such thoughts by looking at some pretty pictures of places you might not think of going (but should). And of course there's the EuroTravel Facebook page, where we're cussing and discussing eating on trains, finding the best chocolate in Paris and more.

Hohenschwangau Castle and the Romantic Alpsee
Lake lovers might appreciate this location--it's not so far from Neuschwanstein Castle (you can walk). Besides, Hohenschwangau Castle sits pretty beside a nice lake you and your sweet honey can row upon, perhaps with something lightly mind-altering in a chilled bottle tucked under the seat of the row boat you've rented...

Agrigento Temples
Greek temples. In Sicily. Yep, the Med was once a superhighway for the rich and connected. They built monumental buildings on dry land and spread their cultures around easy as you spread foie gras on toast. That's why we love to go and visit.

Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan Sarnıç)
In Istanbul, even water storage is oddly beautiful.

Fosdinovo Castle
Here's a place in northern Tuscany that's absolutely stunning in fall--and you won't have to fight the tourist hordes to see it, even in summer. There are more travel ideas in the links below.
