3 Days in Europe: Where To Go?

As some of you know, I'm studying at Oxford right now. In a few weeks I'm going to have a brief break, wherein I will have no commitments and can go wheresoever I wish. Now three or four days really isn't that much time, so I figure I'll limit myself to one city on the continent. Unfortunately, Europe is full of awesome places, and I'm having a hard time choosing a place to go to. Help me, COR, you're my only hope [not really]. What would you recommend for a short trip and why?

COR Version: It's really a short paragraph, you lazy fucks.

Buuut if you're up for an easy vacation kind of trip, I'd recommend the Azure coast. The tourist season on the coast is almost over, so it shouldn't be overly expensive, it's a nice place to chill out and have good times too, and if you're even remotely into history and/or architecture it's full of win.


Then there's Prague, the most beautiful baroque city I have ever seen. Don't go all "shit it's eastern Europe", that city is awesome, full of things to see, eat and experience, and it has a good night scene. It is not nicknamed "the Paris of the East... but better!" for no reason. Also it's different to all the usual EU cities people usually visit, and not overworn like some others.

Should probably mention, places I'm thinking about right now:

Prague, Berlin, Paris, Venice or Amsterdam.

Prague and Venice are at the top of my list, as I've never been to Eastern Europe and would like to see Venice before it sinks. Never been to Berlin or Paris, either. Amsterdam is rather at the low end of the spectrum, as I've spent quite a lot of time there before, and the only draw would be the Red Light District

But I'm very open to hearing other people's opinions, hence this post being open ended, not simply asking which of those 5 I should go to.

Venice is cool, but I wouldn't really recommend it honestly. It's not a true living place like others on your list, it's like a single, huge monument(sure, it has a lot of individual things to see inside of it, but I think you get the point). It's absolutely amazing if your niche is history and the art/architecture of it's age. Apart from that it really doesn't have that much else to offer. From my own experience I can tell you that it's crowded as hell, far too much people, literally 98% of them are tourists so you won't really see much of domestic culture, apart from what's exposed as tourist attractions. Be ready for a nasty smell sometimes too. There's also a McDonalds hidden somewhere, so have fun finding it without a map if you decide to go there (I'm kidding, don't go to McDonalds in Venice, please!)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash Venice here, it really is something you should see, but a single day there will be enough.


The point is, other cities have much more to offer.
