I am taking a european adventure for the first time. I plan to backpack around for one month in the summer. So far I want to go to Paris, London, Amsterdam, Rome, and somewhere in Greece. Any suggestions on what I should do while I'm there? Or what other contries I should visit?  |

Brandon,
London, Paris & Amsterdam are not far apart. But, Rome and, especially, Greece are much farther away. If your heart is set on Greece, and you have a little extra cash, think about a flight.

 Congrats, babus!! If you're from North America please invest in "Europe Through the Back Door" by Rick Steves. He tells how and WHY to travel on the cheap. www.ricksteves.comWhen in London please see the Victoria & Albert Museum first. Its all about Medieval Europe and the Ottoman Empire of the same era. (the Crusades, etc.) If ya see it 1st, you'll relate to buildings art etc. in situ. You'll be in lots of those ancient buildings. It'll help you relate to the things you'll see all over Europe. The "V & A" is on a road that runs out the south side of Hyde Park. Its about 2 or 3 blocks south. Have fun!! the slower ya travel - the more ya learn
