To all you Europeans
Where should I go if I spend one month in Europe? Take into consideration that I enjoy backpacking, beaches, castles, and I'm half Irish. Where should I go? I don't have a trip planned, but I'm starting to think about it.

Okay, why Italy and why France? I'm not too excited about the main tourist attractions such as the Eiffle (sp) Tower but I would be excited to hike 15 miles to find an abandoned castle. Where can I do that?
Most Americans go to the UK, France or Italy....stay away from those, visit something off the beaten path, Norway, Russia, Spain, Czech Rep, Poland, etc....
Frodo: I cant do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. Its all wrong. By rights we shouldnt be here...but we are. Its like in the great srories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of Darkness andanger, they were, and sometimes you didnt want to know the end because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened... but in the end its only a passing thing. The Shadow even darkness will pass. A new day WILL come. And when the sun shines it will shine out clearer. Those are the stories that stay with you and meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But, I think, Mr. Frodo, i do understand... iknow now. Folk in those stories have a lot of chances to turn back, but they didnt. They kept going because they were holding on to something!
FRODO: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That theres some good in this world, Mr Frodo and its worth fighting for.
austria or copenhagen. i was there in '86 and it was beautiful.

Greece is the heaven of beaches
Then... I'd say London, Italy (Rome, Venece, Florence --I'm not sure about the names, I'm translating from the greek ) and Paris. I.e. Disneyland

There are many castles and beaches in the UK. I have been over to Ireland a few times just to travel around and visit castles, cathedrals and Historic sites. There are also many of these in England Wales and Scotland, plus certain areas do have beaches too.
Belgium is good for Old historical places to Visit, Bruge is particularly beautiful and you could get around Belgium quite easily and then into Holland, Luxembourg, France, Germany etc, they are all close and linked by a reasonable road and rail network.
For good beaches and almost Guaranteed weather you need to go to Southern European countries but if you are backpacking and going off the beaten track in say France it might be useful to know some French.
The benefits of UK are that everyone speaks English, as they also seem to do in Norway, although things are expensive in Norway.
Greece and the Greek Islands are Beautiful and you can travel around them on Ferries easily.
There's loads more I could say so if you want any more info about anywhere I've been just PM me.
Well you can find castles anywhere in Europe (I think). And beaches stick to the coast If you want 'warm' water I suggest somewhere close to the Mediterranian (sp) sea.
