Which part of Europe, it's a tough choice

Europe itself can be divided into 3 parts

Northern Europe: Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Norway

Why you will want to head over there:

Auroras or northern lightings: This beautiful natural phenemon can only be seen from this part of Europe or the polar regions. See more explanation on auroras over here. Visit Santa Claus village :)

Western Europe: United Kingdom, France, Ireland, Amsterdam, Belgium

You will want to see iconic sites such as Stonehenge, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Effiel Towel, Windmills etc

Eastern Europe: Czech, Slovenia, Slovakia, Hungary

A lot of castles, old world charm can be experienced in the likes of Prague

Southern: Spain, Portugal, Greece and etc

These countries enjoyed warmer climates compared to their neighbours and have more seasides or beaches.

Generally, Northern Europe are more expensive and less travelled. Western Europe will be the most common with a mix of cosmopolitian cities, scenic sites and Eastern Europe are emerging favourites with its lower costs of living and old world charms.

It's a tough choice out there, but of course with the advance of air travel, you still can travel from one country to another via flights.

Making decisions... for myself, my priority is to visit European countries i have not visited yet

I wanna see stonehenge, big ben, sagrada famalia and my hubby wants to visit the land of soccer - England! So it's decided then, England and Spain... and for some nice scenery we go to Edinburgh

Our itinerary as follows:

Day 1-3 Edinburgh

Day 4-6 Manchester/ Liverpool

Day 6-9 London

Day 10-12 Madrid

Day 12-14 Barcelona
