Best European Cities for a Long Weekend

 Sometimes, doing that grind in your 9-5 job- week in and week out, will soon start to tire you out physically and mentally. At the end of the day, we’re not robots. We need a break to rejuvenate ourselves so we can repeat that grind once more, because that’s what life is about… isn’t it? So stop whatever you are doing and read this post so you can imagine yourself somewhere far away from your work and the most stressful thing you’ll need to think about is how much you spent on cocktails the night before. When planning a trip across Europe, make sure you prepare and check if you need to complete an e111-renewal because it is so important in having an EHIC health to insure you are covered if any accidents were to occur. Now that you are all covered, let’s have a look at what Europe has to offer.

Rome

 Such a beautiful and well cultured city, Rome’s mild Mediterranean climate is a persuasive draw for visitors from the cool north or Western Europe. But what draws you in most is the pulsating energy that this city has to offer. The Italian city embodies the theatrical essence and this provides some great entertainment and if you’re not much of a thespian, then there are enough quirky shops and landscapes for you to enjoy. Oh and let’s not forget the huge amounts of mouth-watering pizza.

Then once that is all done, you can relax on one of the city’s seven beaches before you tuck into some scrumptious tapas.

Amsterdam

One of most popular destination for a range of ages across the whole of Europe, Amsterdam has so much to offer. With the buzz of a metropolis, the city is small enough to walk or cycle almost anywhere you want and proving to never have a dull moment.

Whether you’re looking for something calm and relaxing or you want to show your rebellious and contemporary streak, Amsterdam is the place you might like to visit.
