About my 2023 Europe Travels
-
Cannes, Antibes and St. Paul’s
Cannes: On one of our day trips from Nice, we took a guided car tour of a few other well known areas nearby. The first stop was Cannes, known for hosting the Cannes Film Festival. Going there, we had been really excited to see the “red carpet”, but it was honestly underwhelming. Since the film…

Nice and Monaco
Nice: Nice, France was the last country we visited before heading home. After an amazing four weeks traveling all over Europe, I was exhausted. We stayed in Nice for one week. During this week we did a lot of relaxing and a couple of day trips to places nearby. Nice has a boardwalk along the…

Lyon and Annecy
Lyon: Lyon, France has both old and new parts to it. If you are traveling to find old Eurpope, you will find it there, or if you are looking for something more modern, you will also find it there. You can also find a mini Eiffel Tower (it is really just an old cell tower).…

Stavelot and Spa
Stavelot: Stavelot is a cute little city in Belgium that has a road made of very old cobblestone, and has a lot of hills. This was our homebase during the week of the Belgium grand prix. Our week was super busy with going to the circuit pretty much every day and to the city of…

Brussels
Brussels: Brussels was the first place we stayed at while in Belgium. We visited Belgium five years prior and also stayed in the city of Brussels. I love this city. You can spend your time wandering the streets and finding so many cute little shops, including tourist stores and chocolate shops. In the centre of…

London – Tourist Attractions
Camden Market: Going to Camden market was the first activity we did in London. Camden Market was huge and there were a bunch of different merchant stands with a variety of different things being sold. You could easily spend the entire day here shopping around the stands. Even outside of Camden market there were tourist…

London – Movies
Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace: Personally, when I think of royalty, I think of movies. For example, The Princess Diaries and Princess Protection Program. We do have royalty in the real world and they live in real life, fairytale-like palaces that you would see in movies. You can find some of these palaces in London,…

London – Shows
Queen: Queen was the first musical we went to see in London. The show itself was just okay. I was glad we saw it first because it was my least favorite musical of all the ones we went to. It was mostly my least favorite because I had already seen it a few years prior,…

Lucerne and Titlis
Lucerne: One of the days spent in Switzerland was on a day tour. The first stop on the tour was Lucerne, about an hour’s bus ride from Zurich. To me, Zurich and Lucerne had very similar vibes while walking around to explore the city and being an overall chill place. However, Lucerne had more car…

Zurich
Run in in Zurich: After leaving Venice a day early, we headed to Zurich, Switzerland, which was one of my favorite places of the whole trip. The way we traveled was by train. This is how we mostly traveled through Europe. Once arriving in Zurich, we made our way to our hotel and checked in.…
