From San Francisco of Germany? by The Journeyers in Hamburg

A trip to Europe can be approached in many ways - plan all of your hotels and destinations ahead of time, plan nothing and go wherever the train/plane/wind will take you, or plan on doing a little bit of both. Whichever way you choose, it’s always nice to have a few destinations in mind. I know when I read emmajoak’s Bruges journal, I was inspired to go there during my trip to Europe earlier this month.

Here are some stories about Europe that may inspire you:

Brent and Ruth - just returned from an almost month long trip to Europe.

The Journeyers - they’re currently traveling around the world and have shared some great stories and recommendations for Europe

Janet - she’s currently traveling through Europe by train. Visit her blog to follow her along.

Peter and the Woolf - they’ve visited many cities in Poland, including one of my new favorites, Warsaw.

PSCJ - exploring Europe right now! They’ve also shared ideas on where to stay.

It is a very charming setting with a hotel and restaurant around a quaint, cobbled Placa (although I think it would lose its charm very quickly when the tourists swarm over this place like ants in the warmer months).
