5 Places In Europe That Should be on Your Bucket List

#1. Monaco

Monaco is the second smallest country in the world [after the Vatican] and it consists of only 200 hectares. It is a glamorous city and it is known as the playground of celebrities and the wealthy. The rich and famous flock to Monaco to experience the Monaco Grand Prix, and the fabulous parties that go with it. You can also explore the world-famous Casino de Monte Carlo and try your hand at some blackjack or slot machines.

We absolutely loved Monaco and it makes a great day trip from nearby Italy or France. We even put together a guide on free things to do in Monaco so you can go without spending a single penny! LEave all that gambling to the rich folks!

#2. London, England

London is the capital city of England and it is a fascinating blend of history and cutting-edge modernity. You can explore the iconic landmarks like Big Ben and the Tower of London by hopping on a double-decker bus, taking a boat cruise or hopping on the London Eye for a view from above. There are also many museums to explore, plays to watch, and parks to stop and have a picnic in.

If you are planning on visiting lots of attractions, the London Pass might save you some money. When we were in New York City, we used the New York Pass and found out it was completely worth it, even for budget travelers. When in London, one of the most famous cities in the world, you really don’t need much sleep because you will want to see everything!
