Greece is full of things to see if you like history and relics. I can't begin to recommend stuff to see; you simply have to see everything. Too much history... what a place! Amazing people, lovely weather, excellent food... you'll love it.

When in Germany, stop in Berlin, Frankfurt (2nd largest city in the country, I think), Hamburg (2nd largest harbour in Europe). Make sure you go to Munich in the south of Germany and stop by the Black Forest in the south west of the country; gorgeous!

I lived in London for a year. Nice place but I enjoyed Scotland so much more. There's more variation in Scotland in terms of mountains, cliffs, weather... London is great for the museums, galleries, night life... so it depends which matters to you more.

Austria is amazing! Particularly late winter/early spring - it'll be getting a little warm, but still have the snow caps on its mountains. Great for skiing or snowboarding and the scenery is just breathtaking!!
Vienna is beautiful - so much art and history.

As for Italy, well... am sure you know the basics: Rome, Milan, Turin, Venice... All great particularly Rome. You'd be walking out of a coffee shop, look behind you and there'd be some huge roman temple in the middle of the city.
What they've done is that they build the modern city around and between and ancient relics to a truly wonderful effect. Nothing is too far to see or find in Rome. It's very handy.

Haven't seen much of the Balkan countries (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Albania) so I can't suggest much there.

Sorry I was on for long, but there's far so much more to see!! lol..

Enjoy your trip!

It sounds like you will have a lovely holiday. I can tell you from personal visits that the Rheinland of Germany is absolutely beautiful. You can spend the night in several of the castles on the Rhein. My favorite is Schönburg castle in the village of Oberwesel, which is a delightful place to visit. Munich is also a great place to visit. The city is lively and fun for visitors of all ages, even those who, like me, do not drink beer! In Austria you should certainly see lovely Salzburg, although it has sold its soul to tourism. However, if you rent bicycles, you can explore the city and find its soul while cycling around the town and out into the countryside. The best thing for you to do is buy a good guidebook and research the different places you will pass through to see what interests you. I always use "Let's Go: Europe," Rick Steves' "Europe Through the Back Door" and the DK Eyewitness guidebooks. Have a wonderful trip!

Answer 6

Wien!!! And Hungary ofcourse....if you can afford passing! The capital city of Hungary is just beautiful

Answer 7

You should also stop in France.

Answer 8

Macedonia:
The European Jerusalem - City of Ohrid
Megalithic observatory - Kokino
The religious monuments (churches,monasteries, mosques)

Welcome to Macedonia

Answer 9

The Southern Albanian coast is beautiful! Drive from the coastal city of Vlora down to Saranda (right on the Greek border) using the coastal road called "Llogara Pass." Breathtaking views of the mountains and unspoiled turquoise/white sand beaches. A bit off the beaten path but you won't be dissapointed!
