Besides for the castles on the mainland, Croatia's many islands along the Adriatic are an undiscovered jewel.

Hrvatska used to be part of the former Yugoslavia and is one of europe's hidden treasures.Former Yugoslavia used to be comprised of Slovenia,Serbia, Montenegro,Bosnia-Hercegovina, Macedonia and Croatia. Besides the islands of the Dalmatian coast, there are lots of historical cities like Dubrovnik, Split,Sibenik,Trogir, Zagreb and also heaps of national parks like Plitvice,Krka.

I vote Switzerland, with the note that I have not been to Spain, Greece, or Scandinavia, and that Egypt is not in Europe.

I will suspect Egypt will give Switzerland a run for its money when I go in August though.. There is potential I might get to go to Greece and Turkey for 10 hour layovers, so we'll see then

That's hard.

My favorites were France, Germany and Austria.

I have absolutely no desire at all to ever go back to Italy. Beautiful architecture, yes. But that's about it.
