Top 3 Europe-with-Bestie Experiences

There are so many beautiful destinations in Europe, that a lifetime of adventure is guaranteed if you embark on exploring it. I started to travel on my own at the age of 17 when I attended school in London, and have been in love with the old continent since. Europe offers such a variety of experiences like no other continent - rich history and tradition, numerous cultures, delicious cuisines, different climates, modern cities, wonderful nature, distinctive works of art, beautiful languages, and great people. After visiting almost every country, I was lucky to spend some time with my best friend around European cities. Here is the list of my top 3 pleasures you should live through when young.

1. Fall in Love With Paris

When young, one should just go and wander the streets of Paris. Every corner of The Art Capital of the World is exquisite! The City of Love, Romance and French kisses, home to macaroons, croissants and smooth wine, will leave you breathless. No matter how many times you visit Paris, each time is unique and each time Paris will offer more. Have a pastry with wine in Tuileries Garden, get lost in Louvre for a day, run down Champs-Elysees, climb the Eiffel Tower and breathe this amazing city! Admire flamboyant French spirit of Montmartre while learning the history of Sacred Heart Basilica. Wake up early for a tour around Versailles, get enchanted by the Hall of Mirrors, then buy Ladurée macarons and have them by the Musical Fountains. Observe the French lifestyle, appreciate the freedom, style, and language, and take lost of pictures of the city at night.

2. Relax in Luxurious Switzerland

Locarno If you're looking for a storybook setting where charming little villages are tucked in the valleys and snow covered Alps offer ravishing views, then Switzerland is the place to be. Even though the scenery is what attracts visitors, there is a rich list of activities you can try while loving this beautiful country. Enjoy your coffee at world-class resorts, ride a bike by beautiful lakes, go skiing or hiking, taste the world's most famous chocolate or enrich your spirits at Swiss museums and music halls. Me and my best friend visited Lake Lugano first. It offers a taste of the Mediterranean, pleasing Italian speaking hosts, most spectacular views of Alpine peaks and mild climate. Visitors can rent a boat and enjoy the lake, explore the city of Lugano or love the rest of the Italian canton. We also visited Locarno on Lake Maggiore, a Swiss lakeside living drenched in Sun, officially the warmest town in Switzerland. We planned our visit during its annual film fest, and loved how alive Locarno was. We also took a day to go see The Sanctuary of Madonna del Sasso, the most famous pilgrimage in the Italian part of Switzerland. You can reach it by a walk up through the picturesque pass of the Torrente Ramongo, but my recommendation is to take the funicular and look down through the palms onto the front of the church covered in sparkly Sun rays and shiny blue lake behind.

3. Shop Till You Drop in Milano

Milano Duomo If you love shopping, then Milano must be on your bucket list. The Fashion Capital of the world is home to numerous brilliant designers, and world's richest cappuccino. Piazza del Duomo should be your starting point. You can have breakfast with coffee, admire beautiful Duomo, and then spend the day around malls and stores chatting with your best friend, laughing, making lifetime memories. When in Milano, there are sights you shouldn't miss. La Scala Opera has hosted greatest artists of the world and even though guided tours of Opera House are available, you should purchase a ticket and enjoy one of the shows as a very exciting evening is guaranteed. Take advantage of Parco Sempione in the day, enjoy the gardens away from the hustle of the city, and soak up panoramic views of Milano from the Torre Branca, a huge observation tower that will treat you with the views of Alps and Apennines as well on clear days. Charming Brera district gives out a Bohemian atmosphere with its cobbled streets and architecture. This area is a fantastic option for fine dining, high-end retail therapy and drinks with friends.

Evropa s najboljom drugaricom

Postoji toliko prelepih destinacija sirom Evrope, da su vam avanture celog zivota zagarantovane ako se upustite u istrazivanje ovog starog kontinenta. Pocela sam samostalno da putujem sa 17 godina, kada sam prvi put pohadjala skolu u Londonu i zaljubljenik sam u Evropu jos od tada. Evropa pruza najrazlicitija iskustva, kao nijedan drugi kontinent - bogatu istoriju i tradiciju, mnogobrojne kulture, ukusne kuhinje, razne klime, moderne gradove, divnu prirodu, istaknuta umetnicka dela, prelepe jezike i sjajne ljude. Nakon sto sam obisla skoro sve drzave, imala sam priliku da u nekoliko gradova uzivam sa najboljom drugaricom. Po meni, u mladosti, ovo su 3 evropska iskustva koja nikako ne smete propustiti.

1. Zaljubite se u Pariz

Covek kada je mlad treba jednostavno da luta ulicama Pariza. Svaki kutak svetskog centra umetnosti je izuzetan! Grad ljubavi, romanse i francuskog poljupca, dom makaron kolaca, kroasana i pitkih vina, ostavice vas bez daha. Ma koliko puta posetili Pariz, svaki odlazak bice jedinstven i Pariz ce vas svaki put iznenaditi. Uzivajte u pecivu uz vino u Parku Tiljerije, izgubite se u Luvru na ceo dan, trcite duz Jelisejskih polja, popnite se na vrh Ajfelovog tornja i udisite Pariz! Divite se vatrenom duhu Francuza sa vrha Monmartra dok izucavate istoriju Bazilike Sakr Ker (Sveto srce). Probudite se rano zarad obilaska Versaja, neka vas zacara Dvorana ogledala, a onda pored Muzickih fontana uzivajte u Ladure poslasticama. Prepustite se francuskom stilu zivljenja, cenite njihovu slobodu, stil i jezik, a nocu fotografisite svetla ovog cudesnog grada.

2. Odmarajte u luksuznoj Svajcarskoj

Zamislite bajkovite predele gde vam mala, sarmantna sela ususkana u dolinama snegom prekrivenih Alpa nude nestvarne poglede na prirodu kao sa razglednice. Ovo je Svajcarska. Bez obzira sto su carobni predeli glavna atrakcija ove zemlje, dugacak je spisak nacina da uzivate u njoj. Popijte kafu u svetski poznatim odmaralistima, vozite bicikl pored prelepih jezera, skijajte ili pesacite, probajte najlepsu cokoladu na svetu ili obogatite svoj duh u svajcarskim muzickim dvoranama i muzejima. Moja najbolja drugarica i ja smo prvo vreme provele na jezeru Lugano. Ovo je neverovatni spoj Mediterana i italijasnke zavodljivosti sa spektakularnim pogledom na Alpe i umereno kontinentalnom klimom. Posetioci mogu da iznajme camac i uzivaju u voznji jezerom, obidju grad Lugano i zavole ostatak italijanskog kantona. Mi smo boravak u ovom delu Svajcarske iskoristile da odemo i do Lokarna i jezera Madjore, gde Svajcarci zive okupani suncem u zvanicno najtoplijem gradu u Svajcarskoj. Obisle smo filmski festival i zaljubile se u zivost Lokarna. Jedan dan smo izdvojile za odlazak do manastira Madonna del Sasso, najpoznatijeg hodocasca u italijanskom delu Svajcarske. Mozete doci do ovog svetilista pesacenjem uzbrdo kroz slikovite predele, ali moja je preporuka da osetite planinski duh ove zemlje i zicarom stignete do vrha sa koga se vidi ulaz u crkvu prekriven suncem i plavicasto sjajno jezero u pozadini.

3. Idite u Shopping po Milanu dok ne padnete s nogu

Ukoliko volite shopping, onda vam je Milano sigurno velika zelja! Modni centar sveta je dom mnogih dizajnera, kao i najboljeg kapucina na svetu. Trg Duomo bi trebalo da je pocetna tacka vasih avantura. Doruckujte uz kafu na samom trgu, odmarajte oci pogledom na prelepi Duomo, a onda dan provedite po trznim centrima i prodavnica cavrljajuci sa najboljom prijateljicom. Stvarajte uspomene uz osmehe i jurnjavu kakva u mladosti sigurno ne padne tesko. Kada ste vec u Milanu, postoje znamenitosti koje bi svkako trebalo da vidite. Milanska skala je ugostila najvece umetnike sveta i, uprkos tome sto se nude turisticki obilasci same zgrade, obavezno kupite kartu i uzivajte u noci. Iskoristite prostranstva koja nudi Park Sempione, pobegnite od guzve velikog grada na dan i upijajte panoramski pogled na Milano sa tornja Branka koji ce vas u vedrim danima castiti i slikama Alpa i Apenina. Sarmantni Brera kraj grada opice vas boemskim duhom svojom kaldrmom i arhitekturom. Ovaj deo Milana fantasticna je opcija za elegantne vecere, prestizne brendove i pice sa prijateljicom.
