With so many interesting places to visit in Europe deciding what the best six exquisite places to visit during your vacation is indeed a difficult decision.

The first city on my list would have to be Paris. Not only known for its famous sights such as the Arc de Triomphe, The Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral and of course the Eiffel Tower, the city is also the heart of fashion and chic. A trip down the Champs Elysees with its exclusive expensive stores will soon confirm that fact.

Barcelona is located near the Spanish border with France and is a city unlike any other in Europe. Dating back to Roman times the city was transformed by the Olympics in 1992 and boasts some extraordinary modern architecture, and yet, the city has still managed to retain its ties with its proud historic past.

Rome the 'Eternal City' is one of the most visited destinations in the world. Once the capital of western civilization, the city displays it's amazing and famous ancient heritage in a proud and spectacular manner. Places to see include The Colosseum, The Forum, Arch of Constantine, The Pantheon and the Ancient Temples of Rome. A visit to the Vatican and St Peter's Basilica is definitely a highlight of any trip to Rome.

Once the home of many famous Greek philosophers such as Plato and Socrates, Athens is definitely a place that should be on your list of European attractions. The major historic sites are mostly located around the Acropolis and offer a truly exciting, impressive and memorable experience for any tourist.

If the hot humid summers in Athens become too much, then you must take a trip to one or more of the beautiful Greek Islands such as Crete, Mykonos, Rhodes or Corfu to name a few. Most of these Islands are known for their fantastic beaches and friendly inhabitants. Corfu is regarded as one of the most beautiful places in Greece with its lush vegetation and incredible night life.

Exploring Venice with its scenic canals and bridges, spectacular buildings and famous landmarks makes this a unique magical experience for any traveler. Filled with romance, history, good food and photo opportunities at every corner, Venice is undoubtedly an experience that you will never forget. Don't miss taking a trip on a Gondola down the Grand Canal with its impressive palaces lining the route or visiting St Mark's Square, The Basilica and The Doge's Palace.

London is one of the great cities of the world. It offers tourist's access to unique sites that were for centuries at the core of western civilization. The city is packed with notable churches, historic cathedrals, a variety of museums, stunning Palaces, art galleries, gourmet restaurants and world class shopping at stores such as Harrods and Selfridges. Must see places include the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, The Temple, the City of London, London Eye, Tate Modern, the Globe Theater, Imperial War Museum, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, Oxford Street Kensington Palace, Harrods, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum, The British Museum, the British Library, London's Street Markets, Madame Tussaud's, Tower Bridge and a host of other places to numerous to mention.
