Europe, to an Indian traveller, is that sinful chocolate which everyone wants to have a bite of. Its postcard-perfect sceneries and those bucolic castles & palaces can make any backpacker salivate with desire. Holiday packages from India send travelers shooting down to these places in huge numbers on almost a monthly basis. To be frank, the continent has dished out so many wonderful countries and cities that it is nearly impossible to handpick 5 of them and hail them as the best.

But a writer’s job is to make the impossible possible. So, here I go. Brace up for the top 5 Europe destinations you must not miss out on:

i. London, United Kingdom: Cynics may crib that London’s popularity is on the wane and some anti-London people may derive a perverse pleasure out of it. But the fact remains that for an Indian, London is the ultimate European destination. From its good, old Buckingham Palace to the British Museum to The London Eye to the Madame Tussaud’s, all these attractions are on everyone’s bucket list.

ii. Rome, Italy: Rome, the capital of Italy, is one of those cities which are ...
... not going to lose their charm even in the next thousand years. Like an old wine, Rome ages gracefully amongst its architectural ruins and decadent Colosseum. You walk into this city and you will be shadowed by history and stalked by art! There’s no escaping those scores of art galleries, museums and landmarks! No wonder, most international tour packages have Rome as their greatest offering.

iii. Paris, France: When romance is uppermost in your mind, then you cannot think of any other destination more appealing than Paris. Its Eiffel Tower is a dream destination and the Louvre Museum is an enigmatic attraction. Other top attractions include Deportation Memorial, Musee d’Orsay and Ile St. Louis. And I dare you to miss out on that lip-smacking wine!

iv. Istanbul, Turkey: Istanbul is the dark horse which has suddenly leapt into prominence out of nowhere and is threatening to leapfrog many of its popular European cousins. History was always by its side. And now with a modern makeover, it is making tourists take notice of its culture, nightlife and bazaars. Istanbul may still make conservative travelers gulp and shift uncomfortably before their desktops, but there’s no denying that it is getting a strong look-in by many holidays packages.

v. Barcelona, Spain: If churches, architecture and castles are your favorite things, then Barcelona’s pictures (which you can download from Google, free of cost) can give you an orgasm. Major attractions include Church of the Sacred Family, Palace of Catalan Music and Casa Batllo. Shops, food and good-looking women (and men) are other reasons why you can zero down on Barcelona this summer!
