I'd love to go to Italy. There's so much to see and do, it's vivacious and the food is amazing.

MODERATORS
Italy is a pretty large country by European standards, I think it might be best to specify by region. I've been to the east side of Sicily and the Mediterranean coast near Savona.
To me, Porto is still on my to-do list. Also Albania is said to be a nice place to visit. Another is the Istria region of Croatia.
Good points! I'd love to go to Rome
Rome has some incredibly impressive sights, but I find it's a difficult city to visit. Finding good food as a tourist is a challenge (though not impossible - I had my best ever restaurant experience there), and distances are crazy without fantastic public transportation. But it has some lovely neighbourhoods, and for me the size of the city walls left a lasting impact. It's hard to wrap one's head around the history.
For me though, the best thing about Rome is how fast one can get to Naples by train. Now that is a city!
Great tips thanks 😊
Next on our list: Norway round trip, London weekend, French Atlantic coast.
There are different countries in Europe? /s
France. I was pretty fluent, with a nearly flawless accent back in the day. Love to test myself, see if it comes back! Wouldn't be so much fun unless I was there for a couple of months.
I'm pining for the fjords
Good call
Probably Montenegro
Romania! Lovely country with castles.
I want to go back to Germany. Visited there on a three week exchange in high school but haven't been back since. Even with the various cultural homework things we had to do (learn what a Schultüte is, visit a graveyard, etc) I'm sure there's so much more to do and see that young me couldn't have even comprehended.
Careful what you wish for, Germany has a shitload of distinct regional cultures thanks to being split up in a gazillion different small kingdoms for most of its history. Once you go down that rabbit hole, you won't ever come back.
