Stockholm, Paris, Barcelona, Seville, Venice, Prague

It has now been a month since I got back from my incredible Eurotrip, and since this term is incredibly busy I am going to just combine all these cities into one blog post. Here's the best and worst parts about every city!

Stockholm

The Best: We went to the Nobel museum and learned about all the different prize winners and how they came to success.

The Worst: The highest temperature the entire time was 35°F, so we had to buy winter gear. 

Here is a Nobel Peace Prize

Here is the view of the Stockholm waterfront (maybe you should say icefront...)

Paris

The best: I would call Paris the best city in general - the best architecture, the best museums, the best palace, the best food

The worst: It was gloomy out for most of the time we were there. Fortunately the weather was incredible the last day we were there.

 Our hostel was a block away from the Moulin Rouge

 Eiffel Tower at sunset, when we saw the sun for the first time in 4 days

Notre Dame from the side with the cherry blossoms

Barcelona:

The best: Climbing to the top of the mountain, where we could see the city below us in every direction

The worst: Finally going to the beach on the last day and realizing we could only stay for 30mins because we had to get to the airport

Here's the view from the top of the mountain overlooking the city and the Mediterranean

Seville

The best: Having good friends to show us around the city (they even took us out on a boat!)

The worst: I didn't get to see the inside of the palace because it closed earlier than we thought it did on our last day

This was just outside our hostel, in front of Seville's cathedral

The River Guadalquivir by night

Venice

The best: It is incredibly beautiful - unlike anywhere else in the world.

The worst: There are way too many tourists in this city. It felt really fake because there is almost no authentic Italian culture - 90% of the population is tourists and the other 10% all make money off the tourists.

The Grand Canal

Here is the view from the window of our hostel

Prague

The best: We heard members of the Prague Symphony perform Dvorak's Czech Suite - it was really cool to hear them play music by their most well-known composer.

The worst: Our hostel was pretty sketchy (aka dodgy for all the Brits reading this). Someone came into our room at 4am yelling about things like drugs, etc.

Here is the view from the faux-Eiffel Tower that they built at the top of the mountain

Part of the Royal Gardens

I hope this was interesting - let me know if you want to hear more about any of my travels. T-minus 38 days until I return to the states!
