Paris...I'd Rather See It On T.V.



Thinking About Traveling to Paris

...think again. I found it to be by far the worst city I visited while backpacking through Europe. I know there are some Paris enthusiasts that are going to hate to hear me bad mouth their city, but it was honestly a let down. Now if you are going to see the Eiffle Tower, Notre Dame, or some of the fine mueseums than by all mean go! However, if you want to go somewhere for a nice romantic vacation try Switzerland, the Italian Rivera, or even Normandy, France. What I disliked some much was the commercialization of the city, the massive size, and well...the french.

Paris was actually the only city that I visited that I was not able to walk in a days time. Thats the whole point of backpacking Europe! I found some interesteing bloggers with like minds on this site
Travolti. It seems to be a younger group, or atleast those were the blogs I read. I am really looking forward to going back to europe next year. I think I am going to spend the majority of my travels in Spain. Anyone have any suggestions on places to go?
