By Space Coast Daily // November 4, 2022
If you have only five days to spend in Europe, don’t fret. There are so many exciting and gorgeous cities in which you can spend your time that you won’t be at a loss for where to go. Here are the top five places to visit in Europe if you only have 5 days to spare.
Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is one of the most beautiful cities you’ll find on the coast of Portugal. It’s a city rich in history and culture, but it also has a contemporary side that shines through. You can visit the famous castle, walk along the riverfront, or explore the cobbled streets for hours on end.
Don’t forget to stop by and see two of Lisbon’s most important buildings-the Jerónimos Monastery and Padrão dos Descobrimentos. The monastery was founded in the 16th century, making it one of the oldest monasteries still standing today. Padrão dos Descobrimentos is dedicated to Portuguese explorers and their discoveries, including Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator.
Berlin, Germany
Berlin is a cultural hub of Europe and has many things for visitors to do, see, and explore. The Brandenburg Gate is the most iconic landmark in Berlin and is inscribed with the words You are leaving the American sector.
One of the best road trips in Germany starts off from Frankfurt Airport before making its way through Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Cologne and finally ending up in Munich. When you arrive in Munich make sure to try a locally brewed beer (Weisse) called Helles from Augustiner Brau located near Viktualienmarkt square.
Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a beautiful coastal city with an amazing food scene, great nightlife and tons of art galleries. You can walk anywhere from the Gothic Quarter to the Olympic Port. The many plazas provide plenty of outdoor seating for people-watching. Try your hand at speaking Catalan if you’re feeling adventurous. Or head to the Sagrada Família church designed by Gaudí. Be sure not to miss one of the best collections of modernist architecture Casa Milà (known as La Pedrera) or Casa Batlló – both designed by Gaudí.
London, England
If you’re only going to visit one city, London should be your choice. There are endless things to do there from shopping on the famed Oxford Street, viewing the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and taking in a West End theatre production.
The city is also home to some of the most iconic sites in Europe such as Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam is known for its canals and the perfect mix of the old world with a modern flair. It’s also famous for its many museums, including the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, and Anne Frank House. With so many things to do and see, you won’t want to miss it.
When it comes to Europe’s party cities, Amsterdam takes the cake with its vibrant nightlife that never sleeps. For those looking for relaxation amid all the excitement, book a canal boat tour for an unforgettable experience through this beautiful countryside.
