Travel Bucket List: Europe Edition
Europe is overflowing with dream destinations, but sometimes the hardest part is choosing where to go next. If you’re anything like me, you want a trip that fits your vibe - whether that’s art, food, romance, or adventure. Here’s my take on six iconic European cities, so you can pick the one that feels like your next golden adventure.
🌹 Paris: If your vibe is romantic & chic
Paris is always a good idea. From sunset picnics by the Seine to wandering the Louvre or sipping coffee at a tiny café, the city makes everyday moments feel magical.
✨ Bucketlist moment: Snap your Eiffel Tower photo at sunrise before the crowds roll in.
🎭 London: If your vibe is classic & cool
London is where history meets modern energy. Think afternoon tea, West End shows, and cozy pubs mixed with edgy street art and trendy markets.
✨ Bucketlist moment: Catch a changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, then wander over to Notting Hill for pastel-perfect photos.
🏛️ Athens: If your vibe is ancient & adventurous
Athens is the ultimate city for history buffs. The Acropolis, Parthenon, and ruins around every corner feel like stepping back in time. But it’s not all ancient - the food, nightlife, and rooftop bars keep the city buzzing.
✨ Bucketlist moment: Watch the sunset from Lycabettus Hill with sweeping city views.
🏰 Prague: If your vibe is fairytale & charming
Prague feels straight out of a storybook, with colorful buildings, cobblestone streets, and its famous castle. It’s smaller and more walkable than the big capitals, which makes it perfect for slow exploring.
✨ Bucketlist moment: Stroll across Charles Bridge at dawn for dreamy, empty photos.
🎨 Barcelona: If your vibe is artsy & vibrant
Barcelona is a feast for the senses. Gaudí’s architecture feels like stepping into a painting, the tapas culture is unmatched, and the Mediterranean beaches are right there when you want to unwind.
✨ Bucketlist moment: Visit Park Güell for bold colors, sweeping views, and an iconic mosaic photo-op.
🍝 Rome: If your vibe is historic & delicious
Rome is living history - the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Vatican are bucketlist staples. But honestly? The real magic is wandering piazzas, eating gelato twice a day, and soaking in la dolce vita.
✨ Bucketlist moment: Toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain for good luck (and the perfect pic).
✨ Final Thoughts
No matter which city you choose, Europe has a way of sparking joy in every traveler. Start with the vibe that feels most like you, and let that guide your next adventure. (Spoiler: you really can’t go wrong.)
