I'm trying to plan a trip to Europe next spring. I've never been overseas. I need help! I could probably only get a week - so I need advice on what I must see!
Just one week?! That's insane. You won't get to see much in that time.
I would suggest you make a list of where you really want to go and what you really want to see (based on what you already know about Europe, have heard etc).
I would also suggest that you spend the week in just one spot - or two - so that you at least get a fair experience of the city you're in.
As a starting point, I would suggest London, Rome or Paris. All big cities, all have so much to offer. You just have to decide what you want to see/do more than something else.
Totally agree with Pina here; you should focus on one or two cities at most since you have a week. Even though it is a short amount of time, don't dwell on that and instead focus on making it the best week you've ever had. Start by taking pictures at the airport before you leave and don't finish until you return home. Make every minute special and make it count while your on holidays. London-Paris-Rome are great cities to start with; with one week I would just do one of them. Good luck on deciding and happy travels!
