The Nordics, Norway 🇳🇴 in particular (where I live). Also Hungary 🇭🇺 (where I lived for 11 years).
(I’m 🇮🇹)
I’m from switzerland and i adore finland!
Netherlands as a German
I’d say Czechia or Slovakia. I had a great time in both countries !
(More or less)German who traveled to almost all countries of the EU/Europe: Italy with Romania being a close contender.
The combination of mountains and sea always gets me, but Italy wins by having those two combined more closely and the food being a slight bit more refined. The Danube Delta always beats the Po Delta,but both are still phantastic. Finland and Portugal are Nr. 3 and 4 on my list.
Austria is also nice, depending on the region. Oberösterreich and Kärnten can bite my shiny metall ass, but Vienna, Niederösterreich, Tirol, Vorarlberg are nice.
For some reason Iceland, Denmark and the Netherland are simply not my thing without me being able to describe why - I did not not enjoy them. But… They were always kind of “unmemorable”, maybe to easy, to similar to Germany, I don’t know.
Netherlands as a UKain
I love many things about Bulgaria. The nature, the lively city centers and the overall vibes in the cities.
I’m from Germany and I truly wish our cities had some Bulgarian vibes.
We’re planning a trip soon, any hidden highlights?
@[email protected] My biggest tip is to take a look at 100 nto. It lists 100 interesting touristic objects all over Bulgaria. It leads you to many smaller but great places. Google maps has an slightly outdated overlay that shows these places. At most of them you can get a small Booklet. In it you can collect stamps from each visited place.
Some specific places that come to my mind are:
- Veliko Tarnovo. It’s the former capital and has a big castle ruin. In the evening head to the Monument to the Assen Dynasty and enjoy the view of the city.
- Smolyan and the area around it. The city has a great Regional History Museum and the area around the City is good for Hiking. Maybe take a Jeep ride up Eagles eye and visit the Yagodinska cave.
- The Seven Rila Lakes in the Rila mountains. You can take a cable cart up and hike the rest. From there you can also hike to the Rila monastery.
- The Devetashka Cave. It has these impressive arches. Good for pictures :)
- Plovdiv. The historic city center and the student filled bars and cafes.
- Burgas has not only a very nice beach but also the awesome Sea Garden. I would avoid the typical tourist beaches like the Golden Sands near Varna and the Sunny Beach near Nessebar. Instead opt for the central beach in Burgas where most locals go anyway.
- Try to eat at a механа (Mehana) and order Food in a сач (Sach).
- Drink some Boza.
If you have any specific questions like rental cars or acoomodation feel free to ask here or write me a private message.
Really, really appreciate it! Thanks 😎
As a Dutchie, I see France as my second home country
Czechia. Lived there for a couple of years for no real reason at all loved it.
Especially the East.
Can confirm. I lived in Brno.
My dad and I stayed with friends in Ostrava for 3 weeks and did day trips to different places. Definitely want to go back, especially want to visit Stramberk again.
I still have to go, I did Budapest and Vienna, I heard Prague is beautiful too
Make sure to drop by Bratislava if you are doing the loop! It is often overlooked, but worth the trip
Swiss here - Italy.
German here - Italy.
Italian here. Anywhere but Italy.
Kidding. But only half.
I’m from Germany and I haven’t had the opportunity to travel a lot. So I feel like I don’t know enough about any other European country to make such a decision. Damn I couldn’t even say which is the nicest region to live in Germany.
But as an European I do appreciate the opportunity to live and work in any EU country and to travel safely and without the need of a passport within the Schengen area. So that’s a good thing.

Definitely. I have some non-EU colleagues, they envy us a lot for that
As a Swede, Finland. Closely tied with Norway and Denmark… Obama giving medal to self.jpg
I am german. I loved slovenia, albania and iceland for both, lovely people and amazing nature.
German here. Probably Croatia? Balkans with heavy Roman influence is just a very solid combo. You get the good food that isn’t entirely meat (looking at you, Bosnia) but also the good booze. Also Adriatic sea, Roman ruins, landscape and the people are generally super nice.
I do find myself returning to Latvia every few years. Baltics seem all very chill.
I regularly say how nice France would be if it wasn’t full of French people 😂
