I went on interrail this summer and went all along the main citiess in the north of italy; of course you should visit then Verona (Romeo&Juliete). In lake Como, did you visit Sirmione? it's awesome!

Nice to meet you! Ci vediamo,

Hi Aldo, my English is not well, I am from Mexico but I'm living in Murcia, Spain for long time. I can say you that in Spain is true that every place here is different in culture, food and architecture...but is not good idea visit Seville, Granada or Cordoba (Andalusia) in Easter days...have a very important party and have a lot people....If you visit Italy, close to Venice I recommendation you visit Verona, it's the city of Romeo & Juliet, I like it....
In the South of Italy you can visit Matera, Capri, Napoli but be careful here on the street....
Good luck, I hope enjoy your trip!!

Hi Aldo,
California was cool (but actually really hot :-) though rather busy than travelling and relaxing. But yes, I have gone to San Francisco and I really liked it. I planned to go to LA 'cos I thought it was a must but did not make it there in the end. I have been in Canada for 3 months now, planning to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve in BC, making a bit of a roundtrip with my friends. I have been to Toronto over the Thanksgiving weekend and I kind of fell in love with the city... I cannot wait for more travelling experiences! Where are you heading next? Any travel plans over Christmas?

Hi, Aldo! Yes, Budapest is really worth the visit! It's full of beautiful historic buildings, interesting museums, some great parks, and yes, night life is great, too.
Anyway, I've just returned from Finland (Mikkeli and Helsinki), that was just wonderful. I recommend you if interested and a discovery in the country is a must, I think.
But as I see, you prefer warmer places :) Wish you great time in Italy! Take care: Marianna

Hi, Aldo!

In Spain I`ve been in Zaragosa, Bilbao, Granada, Sevilla and of course - Barcelona. Unfortunately haven`t been in Madrid. If you decide to visit Spain just try to get some piece of all culture...Barcelona is Catalonia, believe that Madrid and for sure Sevilla is very Spanish, Granada has arabic architecture and it`s very charming city...I love Spain and have been there several times, but if you`ve crossed ocean should visit also Portugal, people there are very nice (would dare to say that even more friendly that Spanish).
Florence and Venice are great places to visit and make sure to get lost in Venice :)
Well if you`ll have some time left after visiting Southern Europe you can try to come to Baltics for cooling down (not so warm climate).

Hey Aldo! Well I only went to Barcelona in Spain, but I've been to Florence, Venice, Verona, Lago di Como, Lago di Garda and a few other cities in Italy that I can't remember right now. I loved Barcelona and I loved Florence. They are both so beautiful. You should go visit! All the best! Dasa

Hi!!! Yeah I've been to Italy. I visisted Rome, Venice, Milan and Northern Italy "The Dolomites" beautiful beautiful mountain landscapes. Venice is an amazing city and I have to say that fall is a beautiful season to go there, a lot of tourists off course but the weather is really nice and the feeling of the city is great. I would love to go to Florence in the future, so you would have to give me tips about after your trip. Enjoy!!!!

Hi Aldo. Greece was better than I thought, I had a really great time there. I went to Athens, then I took a classic tour to Delphi, Micenas and Olympia in 3 days. I recommend it to you too.
After that, I went to Rhodes, Santorini, Mykonos and Tinos. All the islands are great, pic anyone and you will have a great time there. If you want to know something else, just ask me! Ciao, Lau

hey, I'm okay. In Spain I was in Valencia, and a small town outside of it. While I was there it was the celebration of their saint so it was a huge party. they had bull runnings 3 times a day, it wasn't big like the famous one, but it was cool. the town was called... piq-i-cent. thatn's not how you spell it, but it's kinda of how you pronouce it. my next adventure is already happening. I arrived in China on Tuesday and I'm here for six months. Right now I am in Nanjing, but I move in a week. I am teaching english. It should be interesting, but scary. cool that you live in Ottawa most of my friends go to Carleton. I miss them lol. at home I went to Laurier and so many times I have wanted to switch to carleton because all my friends go there. anyways I hope i was helpful. Spain was a lot of fun. but my friend's dad lived in the small town so he helped us a lot. no one spoke english, but it was a lot of fun to party in the streets all day. have a good day. talk to you later

Italy is lovely!! I've been to Rome and Venice. Every step in Rome is History! it's simply great if you like it. Venice is also great. The puplic transportation system is reeeeally nice (vaporettos)! they are bus/boats! Are you planning to go there? The hostel in Venice (there is only one) is very nice too. spetially the specialities of the chef! (they have a cheap restaurant there).
Any more tips, just shoot! =]

Venice is great, no matter what people say about smell :) Really, you`re going to love it. well, the thing you need to find out is where do the locals go out, because city falls a sleep somewhere around midnight... Ibiza is OK, I didn`t manage to see the oldest part of the city 8it is somewhere around 2000 years old), but it was OK! There`s this island, Formentera just across Ibiza, I think the sea is much more better on that side, because I think the beaches on the northern side of the island are much more prettier. (But still, living on the Adriatic coast gives me permission o say that our sea is the pmost beautiful! ;) :D) All of my friends had really good time in Spain, some are pro Madrid, some pro Barcelona, but whatever you choose it won`t be a mistake! You won`t be going to France?

Hi Aldo, greetings from Athens! I have been to several charming places both in Italy and Spain. I realy liked southern Italy and especially Puglia region, a very mediterannean corner of Italy. I have lived in Madrid for a year but I should say that if you travel in Spain you should visit Barcelona and Andalucia region!
Here in Greece there are several places worthing a visit, like Athens and many many islands (Santorini, Crete etc)!
Cheers, Anthi

Hello Aldo. Yeah, I visited Turkey this summer.There are a lot of places to see in Istanbul itself.And as for me the best place to stay is Sultanahmet coz ur right in the middle of old city. If you are planning to go there than don't bother urself with taking any taxi. The public transportation is beautiful.

As well I visited Goreme Cappadocia. It's a beautiful place. Coz I had very short trip to Turkey I bought the trip from the agency. They got for me ticket for the bus, booked the hotel and booked the excursion.

yes, I might go to Porto while in Lisbon, but not sure yet. I was in Lisbon once before this summer, in July and the people there told that who loves Lisbon, doesent like Porto too much and vice versa. So it would be interesting to find this out myself :)

Im also planning to go to London in a few months and then lets see from there on :)
