5 Places In Europe That Should be on Your Bucket List
#1. Monaco
Monaco is the second smallest country in the world [after the Vatican] and it consists of only 200 hectares. It is a glamorous city and it is known as the playground of celebrities and the wealthy. The rich and famous flock to Monaco to experience the Monaco Grand Prix, and the fabulous parties that go with it. You can also explore the world-famous Casino de Monte Carlo and try your hand at some blackjack or slot machines.
We absolutely loved Monaco and it makes a great day trip from nearby Italy or France. We even put together a guide on free things to do in Monaco so you can go without spending a single penny! LEave all that gambling to the rich folks!
#2. London, England
London is the capital city of England and it is a fascinating blend of history and cutting-edge modernity. You can explore the iconic landmarks like Big Ben and the Tower of London by hopping on a double-decker bus, taking a boat cruise or hopping on the London Eye for a view from above. There are also many museums to explore, plays to watch, and parks to stop and have a picnic in.
If you are planning on visiting lots of attractions, the London Pass might save you some money. When we were in New York City, we used the New York Pass and found out it was completely worth it, even for budget travelers. When in London, one of the most famous cities in the world, you really don’t need much sleep because you will want to see everything!

Greece is an amazing place to visit and you can visit ancient ruins, view the stunning natural scenery, and explore small villages that have barely changed over the centuries.

Authentic Greek food is absolutely delicious so make sure you indulge at every opportunity and there are so many beautiful islands to visit in Greece! It also has areas that have been making wine for thousands of years so be sure to have a glass or two. We are obsessed with Greek food so make sure you have a bite or two for us! If you happen to visit Greece, don’t forget to visit Mykonos which is one of the best places to see!
#4. Umbria, Italy
Italy is one of those places in Europe where you need to take multiple trips to multiple regions. Umbria is a stunning part of Italy that deserves its own vacation. When you arrive for your vacation in Umbria you’ll soon see why it is known as the “Green Heart”. It is filled with wineries, rolling hills and fascinating towns to visit.

No visit is complete without a trip to the capital city of Paris where you can see the Eiffel tower, explore the Louvre, visit the sites along the Seine River, and indulge in the delicious food around Paris.
