Euro Trip

(1/3) > >>

Mike W.:
I'm planning on taking a vacation to Belgium in November for 3 weeks with some side trips to France, London, and Germany. Have any of you been to Europe and could you recommend any particular medieval sites or other sites worth seeing / things worth doing?

Don Jorge:
Warwick Castle is by far my wife's favorite Castle in the UK. She lived in England for 7-8 years and traveled all over Europe.

Stanislaw:
Hmm, in terms of medieval sites, I've been to Roskilde in Denmark, (very old churches as well as viking-related things) though there's also the Middelaldercentret (which I did not get a chance to go to) if you can fit Denmark into your travel plans. Also, I doubt you'd be able to visit Estonia during your trip, but Tallinn preserves more than 80 percent of its original 12th/13th century architecture - it's truly magnificent to see the city's walls in person.

Sir Wolf:

in england all of the national armour is in Leeds.
france of course has normandie beaches
roskilde fford is AWESOME in denmark. so is the museum in copenhagen
