Traveling in Europe

[kandrathe]

I'll be traveling through Europe for most of May and am looking for advice either from locals or other travelers for things I should be sure not to miss.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I travel often for business, and one thing I always try to do is to look up the local festivals that are happening while I'm there. The best advice I can give is to go where the locals go, it will be the most educational and most fun you'll have. Try to dress like a European, that way you'll blend in better. When you get off the tour bus, flee. Go somewhere they would never think of going. You'll want to see some of the touristy stuff, but get off the beaten track as soon as you've sated your "tourist" palate.
