Europe Travel Guide

July 3, 2017

Over the past few years, I have gotten to travel to some amazing places, but my recent trip to Europe was by far my favorite adventure. I think traveling is something everyone should get to do because it’s SO eye opening and makes you more culturally aware. Although there were a few bumps along the way, I wouldn’t trade this experience and the things I got to see for anything! The more I travel, the more I fall in love with it, which is why I decided I want Sassy Southern Blonde to go into the direction of a lifestyle blog. My posts will still largely be fashion related, but I want to share other topics, like traveling, that I’m passionate about on my site! Below, I’m listing my top places/things to do by city that I **highly recommend** if you’re traveling to Europe in the future! 🙂

 

PARIS

~ See the Eiffel Tower light show that begins at the top of every hour when it gets dark! **The sun didn’t set until around 10, so it gave us extra time to sight-see before**

~ Visit the Louvre and view the Mona Lisa among other famous artwork. **Disclaimer: the painting is a lot smaller than you’d think**

~ Shop along the Champs-Elysees and be sure to visit the flagship Louis Vuitton store even if it’s just to look! **They were sold out of the cross body I wanted 🙁

~ My favorite show is Gossip Girl, so I had to buy macaroons at Laduree like Blair Waldorf! **Plus it’s only a block from Louis Vuitton**

~ Drive to the Palace of Versailles 10 miles outside Paris for the most extravagant architecture! **I enjoyed going here also because I’m completely fascinated with Marie Antoinette**

FLORENCE

~ See Michelangelo’s most famous sculpture, David, at the Galleria dell’Accademia

~ Schedule a wine tasting at one of the many wineries in the area.. **My favorite wine was Prosecco, which is pretty similar to Moscato**

~ Make sure to eat LOTS of pasta and pizza.. **I don’t think I had one bad meal there… even the McDonald’s was great ;)**

ROME

~ Tour the Colosseum and the Forum **This was the day we walked the most, so wear comfy shoes! They say Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I’m pretty sure we hit all the main attractions within a few hours**

~Visit Vatican City and go to the Vatican Museum where you’ll find beautifully painted ceilings among other artwork. **This is where the Sistine Chapel is located and it is absolutely breathtaking**

~Make time to go to the Trevi Fountain! **We missed visiting here and not experiencing this is my biggest regret of the trip**

VENICE

~ Ride a Gondola! **It looked like so much fun, but we never found time to do it**

~ Have a beach day on the Isle of Lido, just a Vaporetto (water taxi) ride away! **Don’t forget to pack sunscreen because the Italian sun is way worse…**

~ Travel to the Isle of Burano and admire the pretty colored houses along the island **We took SO many pictures here, I posted my favorite two above!**

 

These are just a few of the hundreds of things to do and see around Europe! I didn’t link the details of my outfits, but if y’all have any questions, just comment!! I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July. I decided to stay in Laurel and spend time with my family since I’m traveling to Washington D.C. next week! As always, thanks for reading!

 

XOXO
